After all, fourteen years of companionship and care couldn't be compared against the other person...
Since the beginning, she eliminated him away from the race. She didn't give him a chance at all.
The man standing behind Jayden Elias Kyle said, "Two more programs until Miss Kyle's. I just heard someone say that she is going to perform a ballet solo. I think it's the one she was supposed to perform on her birthday."
Jayden did not answer him again. His eyes were still fixed on where Karen Joy Kyle disappeared. He squinted his eyes and looked so down. He hid a lot of emotions in his heart.
His annoyance towards her wasn't the only barrier, his identity was too. He was her older brother by name.
The two programs ended in a few minutes. The host announced loudly, "Next, our Little Jar will bring you a ballet solo. Everyone, enjoy!"
As he spoke, most of the lights on the stage were turned off, and Karen Joy stood under the spotlight.
She was wearing a white leotard with her ballet tights. Her graceful ballet costume highlighted her beautiful body in front of the audience.
She bowed to the audience, then she smiled confidently and began her dance.
She was the only one on the stage. Everyone's eyes were on her. Every time she rotated and jumped, she was trying to make the best of what she had learned in the past few years.
Her professionalism perfected the ballet recital. Even if many of them didn't know much about ballet, they were still fascinated by her grace.
They didn't understand the art of ballet, but they knew how beautiful she performed. She danced gracefully under the spotlight, and she was as beautiful as an enchanting fairy.
The audience was in a trance and even forgot to applaud for her. The audience only came to their senses after someone awkwardly applaud from behind.
Suddenly, a thunderous applause overshadowed the music on the stage.
Jayden was still standing at the same place, staring at the dancing fairy on the stage with a sharp gaze. He didn't notice that there was another person beside him.
The man was as tall as him, and he wore a white casual outfit.
The man's eyes were also fixed on Karen Joy, who was still dancing on the stage. He looked enchanted by her grace and he did not hide his joy at all as he let out a subtle smile.
His Karen Joy always brought him so many surprises.
She was like a treasure. As long as you kept digging, you could find different surprises in her.
After a while, Karen Joy finished her recital with a beautiful pose and bowed to the audience.
The stage curtain slowly fell down amid the thunderous applause from the audience. Karen Joy only stood back up after the curtains fell down completely.
However, as soon as she took a step, she stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
It turned out that the stage was not as smooth as the ballet studios she was used to. When she was spinning around, the friction against the rough stage had lacerated her feet. She realized that her ballet shoes had red bloodstains on them.
When she was dancing, she showed the spirit of a professional dancer. She did not stop because of the injury on her feet. Instead, she still finished the whole dance perfectly with a smile.
In front of the crowd, the host announced the next show.
Under the stage, in an inconspicuous dark corner, the two men were still staring at the stage, as if the beautiful fairy in their hearts was still dancing.
