Chapter 4
After the main part of the engagement ceremony, the dance party was up next. After Peterson and Edith finished their first dance, more youngsters joined in the fun on the dance floor, having a whale of a time.
Upstairs in the lounge, the Whitmans and the Millers were sitting together, their faces grave after a heated. argument. Ike Whitman, the second son of the Whitman family, was nonchalantly leaning against the window, intrigued by the scene on the dance floor.-
Among the sea of soft, muted colors, a lady in a red dress stood out, her skirt swirling with her dance moves, oozing artistic flair.
The party had been going on for just twenty minutes, and Seraphina had already had five dance partners. Yet, there were still plenty of dudes lurking around, hoping for a chance to dance with her.
The door was pushed open, and Peterson and Edith came in. Edith’s dad immediately picked up a glass of water and threw it at Peterson’s feet.
Ike turned around when he heard the noise.
The parents started arguing again, but Edith and Peterson remained silent, one with a stiff face, the other puffing away on his cigarette, frowning.
The lounge door was pushed open again, and the bridesmaid Amelia appeared, panting.
Edith looked at her with a poker face. “Where have you been?”
“I… I was locked in the toilet. I just managed to get out.” Amelia was startled by the tense atmosphere in the room. “What happened?”
Edith sneered, then turned to look at Ike.
Ike smiled and said, “Come on, it’s a day of celebration. Don’t frown all the time. As for Seraphina… I’ll take care
of it.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Peterson looked up at him, his face dark.
Ike had already turned his head, his gaze returning to the banquet hall.
The dance floor was still buzzing.
Apart from the boisterous atmosphere, the open garden at the end of the corridor seemed serene and tranquil.
