Hayden's gesture made Violet's heart sink.
Just three years, and he's already become distant with me?
Hayden unconsciously avoided her, not used to this kind of intimacy.
He was even thinking, Natalie Jennings must have seen all of this—how would she feel?
"Hayden…" A glimmer of tears appeared in Violet's eyes.
"I'll take you back to the villa first."
Hayden took her by the hand and headed toward the elevator.
Their figures disappeared at the entrance to the ballroom.
But Natalie Jennings ran after them!
"Oh no, this is bad!" Silas muttered in a low voice. "Gideon, what do we do? Suddenly I have a very bad feeling."
"From the first time I ever saw Natalie Jennings, I knew this day would come sooner or later."
And Mia Sheffield had already realized what was happening: "Sister-in-law!"
Natalie Jennings was a step too late; the elevator doors had closed.
She immediately pressed the button for the other elevator.
Outside the hotel entrance.
