Chapter 244

Looking up, she found herself gazing into Sumner’s kind and expressive eyes.

“Lindsey, enjoy the evening.

It’s not all about the food,” Selah encouraged with a smile, clearly understanding Paige’s intentions.

Selah saw potential in the pairing of Lindsey with the charming Sumner and hoped Lindsey would consider the opportunity.

With a resigned expression, Lindsey glanced back at Selah.

Given the situation, declining Sumner’s invitation seemed out of the question.

Accepting a dance at a party was a common courtesy among friends.

So Lindsey found herself being escorted by Sumner onto the dance floor.

Meanwhile, Selah reclined in her chair, leisurely enjoying a slice of watermelon.

She watched Lindsey dance, a look of contentment on her face.

Suddenly, Selah’s eyes were covered with a layer of shadow.

A tall figure had appeared, obstructing her view.

Selah’s expression changed to one of surprise as she looked up.

Her eyes widened in recognition.

“Selah, it’s been a while,” Arturo greeted, his gaze softening as he beheld the elegant woman in white.

Selah lifted her eyes to Arturo and responded, “Mr.

Yates, indeed, it has been quite some time.

Arturo’s eyes narrowed a bit.

“I remember you used to be quite the dancer.

Selah blinked back at him, her eyelashes fluttering.

“People change, you know.

“It’s been five years since we Last met.

Isn’t there anything you want to say?”

Arturo observed, reflecting on the time when Selah used to be drawn to him.

Now, she seemed distant and unfamiliar.

With a faint smile, Selah replied, “Didn’t we say everything we needed to five years ago?”

After speaking, Selah stood up from her chair.

As she turned to leave, Arturo swiftly reached out, grasping her wrist.

“Selah, whatever it is that’s happened with Andrew, if only I knew…”
