Chapter 280

A sudden voice cut through the lively chatter on Sylvie's side of the room.

Nearly everyone nearby turned to see what was happening.

Even Elodie was taken aback. She'd chosen a relatively quiet corner, yet someone had managed to bypass Alexander, who was standing outside the circle, to approach her.

She looked up to find a young man standing in front of her.

He was tall, handsome, with an earnest energy that hovered somewhere between adolescence and adulthood. His long lashes cast soft shadows as he looked at her, his gaze forthright and intent.

Elodie paused, caught off guard.

Before she could react, Esmeralda blurted out, "She says yes! No problem!"

The young man's eyes lit up with hope as he waited for Elodie's answer, never taking his gaze from her.

The little scene didn't escape the notice of those watching from the sidelines.

Sylvie frowned slightly. She didn't recognize this man-he was a stranger to her. But the admiration in his expression as he looked at Elodie was almost impossible to miss.
