Hunting for His EX-Wife

Rose took the gift box with both hands and gratefully looked at Mr. Gomez standing in front of her.

“Mr. Gomez, thank you,” she said.

“Miss Russell, you are the lucky one tonight at our banquet. Now please show us your wristband and display your number,” Mr. Gomez replied kindly.

Despite the recent commotion caused by old Mr. Harper, he did not look down on Rose.

Throughout his life, Mr. Gomez had done many good deeds and had met all kinds of people.

In his eyes, Rose was a kind person and a good girl. If old Mr. Harper could not appreciate her, it was his loss!Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

The next second, Rose looked puzzled at him and asked, “What is this for?”

“Your number has been drawn as tonight’s lucky one! And there will be a corresponding number on your wristband to match with your dance partner chosen randomly by the system.”

Mr. Gomez smiled even wider as he continued, “The future belongs to young people so I followed suit! Miss Russell, please dance with your matched partner for tonight’s opening dance.”

Rose looked confusedly at him with shock written all over her face.

She won the draw but now she had to perform an opening dance?

What kind of luck was this?

She pursed her lips and lowered her head to look at the number on her wristband – 72!

Rose blinked twice before saying softly, “My wristband says 72.”

“Miss Russell, go find your dancing partner!” said Mr. Gomez kindly while looking like he was enjoying watching everything unfold before him.

With slightly flushed cheeks, Rose walked down from the stage.

Elliot who stood below it wearing a faint smile on his lips while looking determined.

His number was 72, and tonight he would be Rose’s dancing partner!

Elliot felt proud knowing that they would be performing together for the opening dance of the night!

He watched as Rose approached him step by step feeling like everything was under control because she belonged only to him!

After stepping off from stage, Rose turned towards guests, asking warmly, “Who is 72?”

After hearing the voice, Elliot was about to speak when Lawrence, who was standing nearby, flashed his wristband and spoke in a smooth voice that rang out among the crowd. “I am number seventy-two.”

As Lawrence spoke, he walked towards Rose and showed her his wristband.

“Rose, it’s an honor to be your dance partner.”

“I’m honored too,” Rose said with a slight smile on her lips.

For a moment there, she thought Elliot would be her dance partner. Thank goodness it wasn’t him. Although she felt relieved that the person wasn’t Elliot, there was still some disappointment deep down inside of her.

Meanwhile, Elliot saw what happened from afar and furrowed his eyebrows. A flash of something unusual flickered in his eyes as he immediately checked his own wristband number but found out that it wasn’t the same one he had before. His wristband had been switched!

Elliot narrowed his eyes slightly as memories of what happened earlier flashed through his mind. When he and Rose entered the banquet hall earlier on, a child bumped into him. At that time he didn’t think much about it, but now looking back at it, he realized that child did so intentionally!

The man pursed his lips together as he glared at Lawrence who was chatting with Rose while holding onto something tightly by his side! That little boy from earlier must have been working with Lawrence!

‘Damn them all! They switched my wristband just so they could dance together for their first dance! I can’t let them get what they wanted!’

Elliot’s lips were pressed tightly together as the temperature around him dropped several degrees suddenly. Just when he was about to go over and stop Lawrence and Rose from dancing together, old Mr. Harper gestured Madeleine over to distract Elliot.

Madeleine nodded knowingly before walking up to Elliot while smiling sweetly and taking hold of Elliot’s arm.

“Elliot,” she said softly, “I want us to dance together tonight if you don’t mind.”

While Elliot hadn’t replied yet; on the other side where Rose stood watching everything unfold; she saw how flirty Elliot looked with Madeleine which made her feel quite unhappy deep down inside – What a scumbag! He’s messing with me while flirting with Madeleine. It’s disgusting!

As she thought about it, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes and she revealed a brilliant smile.

“Let’s go, let’s be the first to dance at the opening banquet.”

“I am honored to invite you as my dance partner,” Lawrence said, bending down with a knightly gesture towards Rose and extending his hand.

Rose elegantly placed her hand in the palm of the man before her and smiled. “Please teach me well.”

After they finished speaking, they walked into the dance floor together.

The guests standing beside them watched this scene without blinking their eyes. They felt that this plot was becoming more and more exciting.

Originally, Rose was Elliot’s companion brought here tonight. However, just now old Mr. Harper had been mocking Rose in front of everyone.

Now this woman has become tonight’s lucky one and is paired with a wealthy man like Lawrence. The two look perfect together.

The guests were discussing excitedly but no one went onto the dance floor to join them.

Madeleine watched as Rose danced like an elf on the dance floor wearing a black long dress that caught everyone’s attention. Her jealousy burned even brighter inside her heart.

A hint of envy flashed in Madeleine’s eyes but she smiled sweetly saying, “Elliot, let’s go join them on the dance floor.”

“Hmm,” Elliot replied softly, following Madeleine into the dancing floor.

The onlookers saw this scene unfold before their very eyes; they felt that this plot was becoming even more thrilling!
