With a soft and gentle voice, he asked him very seriously, “Daddy, you’re obviously very handsome. Mommy would surely fall head over heels for you. Why would you want to wear this ugly mask?”
The masked man pinched Dodo’s little face. “Children shouldn’t have too many questions!”
Next, he gave Plumpy a call.
Upon learning that Raylee really attended the Goodridge family’s charity sale as someone else’s companion, he couldn’t maintain his composure even for a second longer.
It felt as if his wife was about to be stolen away from him. Without further delay, he prepared the car and set off.
At the venue of the charity sale, after finding Raylee, Halston clung to her like a relentless nuisance, showering her with attention and care.
“Ray–Ray, these cookies are quite good, let me feed you some.”
“No, thanks!”
“Ray–Ray, these gummies are really tasty. Let me get you one.”
“No, thanks.”
“Do you drink? I can have the bartender mix you a drink right now.”
“No, thanks.”
En
Each refusal was met with even more ardent persistence.
Halston felt he had truly lost his mind.
Whenever he was around Raylee, he felt an inexhaustible surge of energy coursing through him.
The more she rejected him, the more he found himself drawn to her.
He too had embarked on the thankless journey of unrequited love and there was no turning back.
Casimir was also invited and upon entering the banquet hall, his eyes immediately caught sight of the most stunning presence in the room–Raylee.
Upon seeing Raylee, who was beautifully clad in a strapless long dress, looking like a fairy from paradise, he was completely spellbound.
He had thought she was stunning back when he saw her on campus, but she was simply breathtaking now, so much so that he couldn’t take his eyes off her.
This made his heart pound uncontrollably, a rhythm that never seemed to cease.
He couldn’t help but walk over to her, exclaiming, “Ray–Ray, you look exceptionally beautiful tonight!”
Halston, like a guardian angel, positioned himself in front of Raylee and said sarcastically,

bother your fiancée instead, thank you!”

Ever since he found out that Casimir was Raylee’s ex–fiancé, he had considered Casimir his main romantic
rival.
Despite him previously always addressing Casimir respectfully, he now treated Casimir with disdain.
Sudden desolation washed over Casimir’s face, and his words were laced with hostility as he said, “Halston, you’re always hovering around Ray–Ray like a pesky fly regardless of whether she likes it or not. You’re constantly trying to win her over. Don’t you think you’re being pathetic?”
“No, no, no! I’m not a fly; I’m Ray–Ray’s date. In other words, Ray–Ray is also my date tonight. However, you, the ex–fiancé, are truly nothing more than a pest. Despite being Waverly’s fiancée, you still have the audacity to flirt with Ray–Ray. You’re the one who’s truly disgraceful!” Halston vehemently protested while waving his index finger.
Casimir couldn’t help but retort in anger, “Who the hell are you calling a pest? Who are you calling disgraceful?”
“Whoever responds to my words, that’s who!” Halston huffed.
The two of them spoke with an air of confrontation, their words like hidden missiles ready to launch. They exuded an arrogant and aggressive aura, as if they were ready to draw their bows and unsheathe their swords. It seemed as though they were on the brink of exploding at any second.
“Casimir, you’ve arrived!”
The gentle voice of Waverly drifted over from not too far away.
She then quickly jogged over as if even a second’s delay would result in Raylee snatching Casimir away.
Her arrival served as a pacifier, diffusing the imminent conflict brewing between the two men.
Deep down inside, however, Waverly was already on the edge of losing her temper.
Tonight, Raylee was beyond the realms of pretty or beautiful.
Despite her simply standing there without uttering a single word, she still shone like a dazzling star.
Even if Waverly had hired an internationally renowned makeup artist to style her that evening and looked quite attractive, she was still completely overshadowed when she stood next to Raylee.
Like the green leaves that highlighted the vibrant flowers in a garden, she had lost her sparkle.
Even so, she couldn’t let this dishearten her. Tonight, she was the star of the show, so she absolutely couldn’t afford to lose.
Hence, Waverly consistently maintained her gracious smile to boost her aura and presence.
She held Casimir’s hand, leaning affectionately on his shoulder, using this intimate gesture to turn the tables. Then, she deliberately flaunted their love by saying, “Casimir, I’ve been waiting for you so anxiously! Finally, after wishing upon the stars and the moon, my wait for you has ended! You said you’d be my biggest seller tonight, so you mustn’t go back on your word now, okay? You’re so wonderful, Casimir. I really love you!”
all cutesy was enough to make Raylee feel so nauseous that she nearly threw up last

Those who flaunt their love often break up very soon.
