In a circle, everyone linked each of their hand to the person on their left and right They all took 8 steps to the left, then another 8 steps to the right Then, they drop hands and set twice to the center, then step twice backing out of the center They turned to face their partner, and set twice, ain to their position

All the while, Geoffrey's eyes never left Serena They were all skipping and dancing with theNot because of the effort, but because of the sight she presented Her face was turning a bit pink with the exertion, and as a man, he can't help but wonder if her blush ended there So, despite hi hard not to let his eyes trail doards, he ulti an off-shoulder dress and every time they neared the bonfire, the flae And whenever she skips, her breast bounced with her irl affect hiirl She was his intended, and she will be his

Serena tried to lay her worries behind and just go with the flow She did everything she could think of to discourage him already and whatever she did, well, he just kept on interpreting theain, how could she dissuade hi this, but she had no choice She must build up her career and have solid foundation or wait for Charlton to grow strong enough to ask for her hand, whichever coe of the dance where partners face each other, Serena had no choice but to look hiave her a char smile

Gods, what do she do with hi to charm her Besides, how could she bla person? She would also be a hypocrite to say that she did not feel flattered by his attention However, what can she do? It's not like she can start a reverse hare This was not some fantasy but now her reality She loves Charlton and he was her choice So, she can only be sorry to Geoffrey

Not wanting to encourage hi to make him think that she was still affected by what he did earlier, she could not frown too In the end, she just settled with a straight face, hoping that she's able to project indifference

Charlton watched everything that was unfolding from the sideline He sa Geoffrey eyed Serena, and he wanted nothing e his eyes out and tear her away fro to feel this way To be so powerless in the face of his own cousin that he can't even fight for the wouilty as he was the other man, the third party, or whatever they call it, and a part of him still was, but he already made up hisback for hi fist and took a deep breath to stop hiht now, if he does that, nothing good will coarners enough power on his side

He knew that he would try to make it up to his cousin in the future, but he was not stupid enough to think that everything will turn out to become a fairy tale He has painted the words nicely when he told Serena that he will try to beco those words were akin to treason

He does not want to get ahead of hi but determination He has analyzed all the possible ways that he can get Serena's hand, and in almost every scenario the conclusion was either social destruction or bloodshed However, he has a plan, and he can only hope that that plan would work
