Chapter 279 Infatuated
With a gentle push of her hand, the door swung open. But inside, there was nothing. It was completely empty. Freya furrowed her brows slightly. “Could it be a prank?”
Elijah didn’t say anything, but he was thinking. This was probably not a prank. It was more likely that because Freya didn’t fall for it, the person who set this trap cleaned everything up, leaving no trace.
“Let’s go back.” She said. Running around during someone else’s wedding didn’t seem quite right. Elijah made a soft sound of agreement.
Standing by the elevator door, Freya leaned towards him, her hand about to reach for his. Just then, the elevator arrived with a ding, and the doors slid open. Freya quickly pulled her hand back, but Elijah took the initiative to hold it. She was taken aback, seemingly surprised. When their skin touched, her heart raced with nervousness. She didn’t know why she was nervous. They had been sharing a bed for so long, after all. Her heart beat faster with the tension.
She followed Elijah into the elevator. The doors closed quickly. Elijah pressed the button for the ground floor. In the enclosed space, it was just the two of them. Freya looked up at him. His sharp features connected to his neck, creating a sexy image. This man was the most handsome man she had ever seen. And now, he was hers. Shouldn’t she be grateful? With that thought, a faint smile unconsciously appeared on her lips. Her gaze unintentionally fell on the elevator doors ahead.
She froze. The elevator doors were made of stainless steel, reflecting a clear image. Did he see her infatuated expression when she was looking at Elijah just now?
Ah…
How embarrassing.
Freya wished she could hide somewhere, hanging her head in disappointment, not daring to look up. Elijah looked at her ostrich-like appearance, a faint smile playing on his lips.
Back in the hall, they took their seats. Orion walked over with Haley Holt. Haley had a baby face and was wearing a bright red designer gown adorned with various gemstones and sparkling sequins. The waistline was well-defined, and the dress was carefully tailored, without any hint of sloppiness due to the heavy workmanship. The hem of the dress was not dull but had dangling tassels and beads. When she walked, it swayed gracefully. This dress was playful and dynamic, matching Haley Holt’s appearance perfectly. As the female lead of the day, she might not be the most eye-catching in terms of looks, but her dress was definitely unforgettable.
She held Orion’s arm, undoubtedly attracting everyone’s attention. After toasting several important elders in the family, Orion led her straight towards Elijah. Orion had mentioned introducing Freya to Haley Holt. And among his friends, Elijah was his number one. It was understandable for him to come over first.
“Both of you are my best friends. Today, on my wedding day, you both have to drink to celebrate.” Orion poured the wine, and Haley Holt held the wine glass with both hands and handed it over.
“This is my best buddy, Elijah. He specially came from abroad to attend our wedding.”
“Thank you for taking the time to come and join Orion and me on our wedding day.” Haley Holt, as a wealthy girl from a prominent family, was generous and not shy.
Elijah graciously drank the wine she offered.
Orion poured wine for Freya. “She used to be a year below me at school and also my good friend.”
“We’ve met before,” Haley Holt said. “Thank you for coming to witness my wedding. I hope we can become good friends and besties.”
Haley Holt seemed very enthusiastic. Freya smiled gently and gracefully. “You are Orion’s friend, which means you are my friend too.”
When it came to becoming good friends and besties, Freya didn’t directly respond. Because of her relationship with Luna, she kept a bit of distance from Haley Holt. After all, she didn’t really know this girl. At this moment, it was all for the sake of Orion’s face.
Suddenly, someone walked in. “Something’s wrong!”
Orion frowned and looked at the person. “What’s the matter?”Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
“There’s trouble outside. You should go out and see!”
Orion put down the bottle in his hand and said to Freya and Elijah, “I’ll go out and see what’s happening.”
“Go ahead.” Said Freya.
Haley Holt followed Orion and said, “I’ll go with you.”
They went outside together.
