They Hated Me in My First Life, But Now I Have the Love System

Chapter 155: First Dance Chapter 155: First Dance And for the first time in a long while, she hesitated, not out of anger, not out of pride, but out of the unfamiliar ache that swelled in her chest at the sight of his unguarded expression.

“You’re forgiven,” Nnenna said, surprising the three men.

“You’re kidding!” Carl scoffed, clearly offended.

Somto clenched his fists, trying to suppress his irritation.

He had been carefully steering Arthur away from discovering too much, yet fate seemed determined to throw every clue right in his face.

It was beyond frustrating.

But no matter what, he would complete his mission, even if it meant going against fate itself.

Arthur, unfazed by their reactions, repeated his request, “May I accompany you for the first dance?” Now that he had been forgiven, he wasn’t going to let the opportunity slip away.

Nnenna hesitated for a moment before nodding, casting an apologetic glance toward Ikenna and Somto, who were both fuming.

She wanted to know Arthur better, to see what kind of man he truly was, so she decided to take this chance.

Before she could change her mind, Arthur swiftly took her hand and led her to the center of the ballroom.

The guests, still reeling from everything they had seen and heard, were momentarily stunned into silence.

It was as if their senses had shut down from sheer disbelief.

They strained their ears, desperate to catch even a fragment of the conversation happening between the four of them, but no one dared to step closer.

All they could do was watch, trying to piece together the mystery unfolding before them.

Seeing Prince Arthur accompany Nnenna for the first dance, no one dared to step forward.

The lesser princes slunk further into the crowd, unwilling to compete, while Princess Chimeg remained frozen, disbelief etched onto her face.

Queen Chioma, on the other hand, was ready to complain, but when she saw the wide smile on King Ikechukwu’s face, she clamped her mouth shut.

She knew better than to cause a scene now.

Nnenna would have to be dealt with later.
