Dear Sweetheart

Chapter 287 An Icy Kiss

“What are you all busy talking about? The game is starting soon!” Jessica trotted over. “Wyatt, why do you keep rubbing your bum? Is there a hemorrhoid growth there?”

“Babe.” Wyatt pulled her into his arms and savored the feel of her soft curves. “Curtis instructed me to call for Theodore, but he ended up kicking me twice.”

Jessica caressed his head and asked concernedly, “Does it hurt? Can you still dance?”

“Of course it does. But I’ll still accompany you to the dance and game! After all, I can’t let you lose out to the other women!” Wyatt said brazenly.

Curtis was dumbfounded.

Is Wyatt a lunatic that escaped from an asylum?

The dance hall was Moroccan-themed with burgundy accents. Its ambiance was heightened by tasteful rock music playing in the background and flocks of young couples swaying to the beat in the center.

Rayna donned an emerald gown in the style of the middle ages. Her hair was pinned in place in an unswept fashion by a pearl bodkin, which gave her a regal air of insouciance.

Her pert face and flawlessly dainty features darted in and out of view with the flickering strobe lights in the club, and the fluttering hem of her dress was as enchanting as a flower in full bloom.

Curtis couldn’t keep his eyes off her as he praised, “You look stunning tonight.”

“Thank you. You look rather dashing yourself.” Rayna gave him a tight-lipped smile.

She was aware of his fondness for secretly gifting her presents, such as the dress she was wearing, and then pretending to be astounded by her beauty once she wore them.

Are you tired of such antics by now?

An emcee took over once the dance ended and explained that the game was next. Those who’d registered to participate would have a chance to win prizes, while non-participants were allowed to spectate from the sidelines.

It was called “Blind Seekers.”

The blindfolded woman would have to identify her partner by the sound of his coughs from a group of men. If she managed to identify him correctly, he would then be tasked with removing her blindfold.

The first couple to successfully have their blindfold removed would win a pair of true love diamond rings sponsored by YH brand.

The emcee had just finished explaining the rules when a feverish Wyatt raised his hand in the crowd and announced, “I swear that my girlfriend and I will be the fastest ones to finish the game!”
