Ex Cried as I Wed a Tycoon

Chapter 261

They'd snacked on some grilled skewers, and soon, the bonfire party kicked off in earnest.

After a spectacular traditional firework-forging act, one of the dancers took the lead, circling the fire in a lively dance. Soon, other performers joined in and started pulling the onlookers in with them, inviting everyone to dance together.

The air was alive with laughter and song, people letting loose and thoroughly enjoying themselves.

Thanks to Randell's careful orchestration, Effie was ushered by one of the performers to stand between him and Lyman. To anyone watching, it looked as if Effie was dancing right alongside Randell.

Lyman, clearly pleased with this arrangement, watched Effie the entire time, a smile never leaving his face.

After dancing for quite a while, everyone was exhausted and drifted back to their seats.

Vinson Elliott couldn't help grumbling, “Randell, I'll give you this-the bonfire was fun, but let's not do this again next time."

Randell raised an eyebrow. "Why not?"

Vinson fanned his sweat-soaked shirt. "It's the middle of summer, and you've got us dancing around a bonfire. I'm drenched, and my skin feels roasted—I swear, I feel like a rotisserie pig."

Randell just stared at him, speechless.

Vinson added, "Only a lonely bachelor would complain about feeling roasted. Look at those two-they're clearly here to rekindle their romance."
