His blond hair shone like sunshine in the winter, casting a warm and soothing glow that put people at ease.
His handsome face seemed to have been chiseled by God himself, resembling an exquisite sculpture.
For some reason, Ivy became restless.
She longed to get close to this mysterious man.
âHoney, get closer to him!â she shouted at me with unconcealed excitement.
I was confused, but I ignored Ivyâs urging because I noticed the red wine stain on the manâs clothes.
âOh, God, Iâm so sorry.
â I apologized to him immediately and staggered to the table, trying to find some tissue to wipe it for him.
âDonât worry about it.
â The man waved his hand dismissively.
âThe wedding is awful anyway.
â
âWhat? What makes you say that?â The manâs words and frank attitude instantly aroused my curiosity.
Everyone was cheering for the happy couple, yet this man had the audacity to say that it was awful.
Well, such harsh criticism was really surprising.
âEduardo has bad taste,â the man explained matter-of-factly.
He looked at Marley, who was smiling brightly amidst the crowd.
He took a sip of wine and continued, âHe picked the wrong woman.
Marley wonât be a good Luna.
â
The roving spotlight briefly shone on the man, illuminating his s@xy Adamâs apple.
As he swallowed the red wine, his Adamâs apple bobbed, and I couldnât help but stare at his collarbone peeking from the collar of his shirt.
My heart started to race, and I couldnât think straight.
âHow do you know that?â I stared at him, trying to gauge him.
âDid you ask her hand in marriage but she said no?â
The man chuckled and glanced at me as though I was an idiot.
âHowâd you manage to draw that conclusion? If I hadnât turned her down, she wouldnât have settled for Eduardo.
If I said yes to her now, sheâd drop everything and run away with me.
â
This man had turned Marley down?
Things were getting even more interesting.
Winning him over was kind of like defeating Marley.
Driven by the alcohol, I became bolder.

I looked him up and down and wrinkled my nose in feigned scrutiny.
âWhy? Youâre not that charming.
â
With his ego on the Line, he narrowed his eyes at me and whispered, âIs that so?â
The next second, he pressed me against the wall with a glass of wine in one hand.
âHmmâ¦â Time seemed to freeze at that moment.
His ki*s was aggressive yet tender, which made me go limp in his arms.
He held my waist tightly and practically held me up.
With him so close to me, his intoxicating scent overwhelmed me.
Now I understood why Ivy was so restless.
