You Are The Pursuit of My Life

Chapter 76

Rowane wore a pink dress that complimented her fair skin, making her look all the more beautiful. Edric, on the other hand, was dashingly handsome, given his height. They looked like a perfect couple made in heaven.

Seeing Jordan and Irene walking over hand in hand, Edric narrowed his eyes slightly. Jordan was wearing a black suit without a tie. The top button of his black shirt was undone, revealing the silver chain on his neck. With his hand in his pocket, he looked equally dazzling. At this moment, Edric caught sight of a woman beside Jordan; she was holding his arm intimately. Edric's gaze couldn't help but be locked on her. She was Irene; she was wearing a long purple dress, its train dragged along the ground.

The delicate diamond on the hem of her dress was twinkling under the light. Her long black hair tumbled over her shoulders like waterfalls.

Her languid eyelashes of velvet- black fluttered as she walked her way into the hall; her ink- black eyes were so clear that they looked like a pair of lakes. Her rosy skin and her thin lips were as delicate as rose petals. All in all, she looked like a fairy descended from heaven.

Edric was astounded. Rowane, who was beside him, exclaimed, "She's so beautiful!"

Irene lowered her eyes when she saw Edric and Rowane. She didn't want to have eye contact with them at all, but Rowane took the initiative to greet her, "Miss Nelson, you are so gorgeous!"

Rowane's smile was sincere. Irene returned her gesture with a faint smile. She remarked, "You are looking gorgeous too."

Jordan and Edric exchanged courtesies for a while. Soon, they took the elevator to the hall where the party was held.

A group of people had already gathered in the hall; most of whom were familiar faces.

As they entered the hall, the crowd's gaze fell upon them. Most of them were looking at Irene. Jordan held Irene's waist tightly and mumbled to her ear, "Dear, you're the most attractive person in the room!" Every woman on earth loved praises. Irene revealed a sheepish grin. "Am I?"

"Of course." The gloom on Jordan's face dissipated. "I hate looking at these guys' lustful eyes!" He held Irene's waist more tightly as he spoke.

"Should I go back and change my dress?" teased Irene.

"No, I want them to be jealous of me!"

Looking at Irene and Jordan whispering and the blush on her face, Edric's face darkened.

Jordan held Irene in his arms and passed through the crowd. From time to time, he would greet the guests he knew. It was the first time for Irene to attend such a party. The attendees were all dressed to the nines.

Melodious music started echoing off the wall, signifying the beginning of the party. The guests were having a good chat among themselves while they drank fine wines or danced to the music. After Jordan exchanged a few words with an acquaintance, he took Irene's hand to the buffet area.

He sat at the table and looked at Irene. "I know you must be starving. Eat all you want tonight. I'll keep you company."

Irene glared at him. "You're acting like I've not eaten in ages." She was indeed hungry. Without hesitation, she took a plate and began to grab some food.

She took the full plate and sat next to Jordan. Somehow Jordan felt ravenous too when he saw the food Irene took, for he muttered, "I want to have some too." "Go ahead!" said Irene while she took a bite of the croissant.
