Chapter 277.

The familiar sensation made her body instinctively lean in, pressing closely against the man's chest. In the dim, pitch-black lighting. Ophelia couldn't see the man's face.

This feeling was so familiar, and she missed it deeply. Her legs felt unsteady, and somehow she was led out of the dance floor, the warmth beside her suddenly gone. She found it hard to stand until Ellie helped her keep steady. "Ophelia, Ophelia, what are you looking at?"

The lights around flickered on and off as Ophelia looked everywhere for that familiar figure, but she couldn't find it, and without hesitation, she rushed back onto the dance floor.

"Kenneth Sinclair! Kenneth..." Ophelia's steps were unsteady, her voice drowned in the screams and music.

That figure disappeared into the crowd, nowhere to be found. Imust have been Kenneth just then. He was here. He came back today. It had to be him; her body couldn't be mistaken. That familiar feeling, it must have been that man. Ophelia cried, "Kenneth Sinclair... Kenneth, come out! You came back, didn't you? You remember what day it is today, don't you? Kennie... come out..."

The alcohol had cleared from her system halfway, and she weaved through the crowd, standing on tiptoes with her neck stretched to look around. Her misty eyes pleaded desperately, carrying a bit of hope.

"Kenneth Sinclair..." she shouted, almost bringing herself to tears.

She was eager to find him, afraid that it was just her imagination. At that moment, a tall figure suddenly entered her vision.

Ophelia didn't even think, she just rushed forward and grabbed the man's wrist. The man turned around, and a stranger's face was reflected in Ophelia's eyes. "Miss, need some help?"

Ophelia quickly let go, stepped back, and shook her head.

She thought, 'Can it be... that really isn't Kenneth?'

"Ophelia, let's go back upstairs! Sharon and James are worried about you being down here alone." Ellie said, linking her arm with Ophelia.

Ophelia obediently stopped wandering around, her eyes, which sparkled like stars, suddenly lowered.
