Ian's expression changed instantly.
Adeline looked at Ian with an eager gaze, as if her heart was hanging on his body.
When Terrence almost ruined the Carter family before, the Carter family already regarded the Zabel family as a thorn in their side, but it did not affect Adeline's love and obsession for Ian.
The moment Adeline saw Ian, her eyes instantly lit up and she lifted her skirt to come over.
Ian was frightened and let go of Nicole's hand, wanting to leave Nicole behind and run away.
At that thought, that was what he did.
"Nicole, I’m leaving. Take care of yourself!"
Then, Ian lifted his legs and ran. He bumped into several wine glasses and was gently chided by the elders and relatives on the side for not being steady enough.
However, the moment they noticed Adeline, their chiding voices changed.
"Hurry up and run. Don’t get caught!”
Nicole looked at this scene with surprise. It was like a farce.
Eric, who was in front of her, only wanted to be alone
with Nicole.
He had not talked to her alone for a long time.
He reached out to take a hold of that slender fair wrist and forcefully pulled her to walk away.
Nicole was still immersed in the drama of watching a good show and was completely caught off guard. She subconsciously tried to break free, but it was useless.
She was a little upset, and her face was clear and cold.
"Eric Ferguson, let go."
Nicole did not want to let others misunderstand their already-impossible-to-repair relationship on an occasion like this.
She wanted to avoid unwarranted speculation.
Maybe her voice was too cold.
Eric really let go of her hand, only to turn around and block her path behind as well as the sight of others.
He looked at her with sunken eyes and jerked his chin to the rest area.
"Can't we just sit there and talk a little?"
The direction he took her was not a remote area.
It was just that people did not gather there, so it was relatively quiet.
