Chapter 409 – An Unbreakable Vow with the Heartless Tycoon

“Nothing. I just asked when I can stop.”

“Exchange the dance partner,” Leilani lifted her chin and pointed to the couple, princess and Jessica.

“Does Mrs. Bamford want to dance with the prince?”

“No. You dance with the prince,” Leilani wanted to take Jessica here.

Robert had to obey.

Leilani held Robert walking through the crowds. On the way, she was thinking about how to exchange the dance partner, but Andrew held Leilani.

“Andrew Clifford? Why are you here?”

“I found Jessica is here,” Andrew answered and looked at Jessica.

“So, what’s your plan?”

“Let’s dance now. Wait and see,” Andrew held Leilani’s waist, and Leilani put one of her slim hands on his shoulder and put another hand on Andrew’s waist.

Soon, Waylen found Andrew and Leilani held each other talking and laughing. Under the mysterious moonlight, they looked very close.

Now, Waylen almost lost control. He was eager to bring Leilani back.

But Waylen didn’t do it. He knew if he did, Leilani would be the focus of the party and be in danger.

Therefore, Waylen tried to ignore Leilani.

But he couldn’t control himself. He couldn’t stop looking at Leilani.

The mood became more intense when Waylen saw Leilani.

Waylen couldn’t see clearly. But when he saw Leilani raised the head and looked at Andrew, while Andrew lowered his head and made a smile, Waylen believed Andrew kissed her.

Suddenly, Waylen frowned and made a tight fist unconsciously. The back of his hand bulged with the blood vessel.

“Ow!”

Rebecca shouted in a low voice. She frowned, unconsciously showing the hurt.

“Waylen, you hurt me,” Rebecca complained.

Waylen immediately loosened his hand and stopped dancing.

Rebecca was sure there was something wrong with Waylen.

She closed to Waylen and asked, “Are you OK?”

Waylen was silent. He felt desperate.

“It’s none of your business.”

Then Waylen walked to the table, picked up a glass of wine, and drank it up.

But it wasn’t enough for him. He picked up the glass and drank another one.

The strong alcohol stimulated the tip of his tongue, passed through his throat, and went into his belly.

He tried to numb himself with strong alcohol, but he felt more anxious now.

Rebecca stood by and put one of her hands on his arms. She wanted to stop him, but she didn’t dare to do it.

Waylen had continuously drunk 7 or 8 glasses of wine and trembled all of a sudden, so Rebecca pressed on the back of Waylen’s hand hurriedly, saying, “Waylen, it is enough. Stop drinking. You will get drunk.”

Waylen was at a loss. When he heard Rebecca’s voice, he turned to look at her.

With the effect of alcohol and soft and flashing light, Waylen couldn’t see clearly. He mistook Rebecca for Leilani.

Waylen raised his hand slowly, touched Rebecca’s chin, and leaned down.

Rebecca held her breath and closed her eyes. Her heart was beating fast.

A song was over. People stopped dancing and left the dance floor to have a rest.

At this time, Leilani also loosened hands and stepped back. When she raised her head and was going to say something, she saw Waylen and Rebecca. They were standing beside a cl.u.s.ter of flowers.

They looked very close, as if they were the ones.

Rebecca held Waylen’s waist tight, and Waylen raised Rebecca’s chin. It seemed that Waylen was going to kiss her.

Seeing the scene, Leilani unconsciously narrowed her eyes. She felt sad.

When she saw it in her own eyes, she couldn’t control herself. She couldn’t pretend nothing happened.

She couldn’t understand. Waylen just kissed her and touched her neck with his lips under the tree, but now he seemed to kiss Rebecca. She felt disgusted.

She put her one hand on her chest and covered the mouth with another hand.

“What’s wrong? Are you OK?” Andrew asked.

“My belly feels uncomfortable because of some cold food that I ate a few days ago.”

“Shall we go back first?”

“It’s OK. I go to the toilet first,” Leilani shook her head. She wouldn’t leave there.

Then Leilani walked to the restroom.

As soon as Leilani left the hall, Waylen suddenly pushed Rebecca away in a gentle way. To Rebecca’s surprise, Waylen didn’t kiss her. She shouted with astonishment and opened her eyes.

Then she saw that Waylen followed Andrew to another room.

When Leilani walked into the restroom, she calmed down and felt fine.

At this moment, everyone was dancing, talking, and enjoying the beautiful night view and cool winds. Few people in this building, not to mention the restroom. Just a few servants were walking around with drinks, fruits, and deserts.

Leilani opened the faucet and washed her hands.

Leilani looked up at the mirror, considering whether to take off the mask or not. She patted her face with cold water and then put on the mask again because she was afraid that someone went into the restroom and found her.

When Leilani was drying her hands with a piece of paper towel, her phone rang. She took her phone out and looked at the screen. There was a message from Andrew Clifford. In the message, he claimed that he was going to find an opportunity to take Jessica out of there. Besides, he had commanded Jamie Winter to pick up Jessica in the front of the door and took her away directly.

Leilani sent a message back, “Got it.” Then she deleted the message immediately and put her phone back to the pocket. Finally, she opened the door and got out of the restroom.

When she raised her head, she found there was a man who was smoking before the restroom.

The man bent one of his knees. He put one of his hands in the pocket and held a cigarette with another hand. He stuck the cigarette in his mouth, took a deep pull on it, and exhaled white smoke.

Waylen had seldom smoked. Ever since Leilani was pregnant, he had never smoked. It seemed that he was waiting for someone or relaxed through smoking.

Leilani stopped. She never expected she would meet him here. Soon, Leilani adjusted her mood. She tried to calm down and went ahead with the straight back as if she didn’t see him.

When she passed, she didn’t even give a glance at him. She tried to walk at a stable speed as if he wasn’t here or regarded him as a stranger.

But Waylen wouldn’t let her go.

He stopped her and grabbed her arms with all strength.

Leilani stopped and tried to get out of him. She was annoyed, saying, “Enough! Let me go.”

Leilani was angry now. On the one hand, she was annoyed at Waylen and Rebecca. On the other hand, she was afraid that someone would see them. Rebecca always followed Waylen. If she was there, she must recognize Leilani.

Now, it was a crucial moment. Andrew was going to take Jessica out of here, and Jamie would come to send Jessica away. They got a plan, and everything was in the process. But Waylen was here. He was Leilani’s barrier.

“He had many things to do. He needs to negotiate with Dianna and Rebecca. How does he have time to look for me?” Leilani thought to herself.
