If she knew Xyla Quest was such a good dancer, she would not have acted so haughty.
Well, guess what?
Her reputation was in tatters now. She hated to admit that there really was someone better than her.
Meanwhile, Sharon was totally flabbergasted by her daughter-in-law. Her eyes were fixed upon Xyla, and her excited fists were glued to her chin. Her eyes were filled with pure adoration as if it was going to overflow the next second.
“Xyla… Nice one… Ahhhhh!!! I love you so much!!!” Sharon shouted at the top of her voice like a fan meeting her beloved idol.
The DJ turned down the music. The disco bar quietened down, and Xyla could clearly hear Sharon’s scream amidst the crowd.
“This girl is awesome… She’s so pretty…”
“I know, right? She looks like a modest little fairy when she stands there. Who knew that she’s actually a hottie when she dances! Love her!”
“Where’s this little fairy from? I think I’m in love with her…”
The audience could not stop praising Xyla. The exhilaration in their tone was only amplified with each word they spoke. Sharon felt even more proud when she heard their compliments.
“She’s my daughter-in-law. Don’t try to pick her up.” Sharon raised her voice as she scanned the people around her.
Upon hearing that, the jabbering crowd stopped dead in their tracks. The guys were starting to get jealous of her son.
While all these were happening, Xyla was observing them in silence. She remained silent all the time. All she did was wave at Sharon politely. Sharon immediately went on stage when she saw Xyla waving at her.
Holding Sharon’s hand firmly, Xyla glowered at the blonde girl and said, “Can you apologize now?”
The blonde girl lowered her head, heat searing through her cheeks. Having no other choice, she turned to Sharon with a sincere expression etched on her face. “I’m sorry… I was wrong. I shouldn’t have been so impolite to you.”
“Forget it.” Sharon waved at her apathetically. “However, I advise you not to despise the elderly again. Everyone is going to get old one day. Wait until you’re my age and give birth to five or six children… You’ll be happy if you manage to keep a body like mine,” Sharon added.
Xyla’s impressive performance had helped her to redeem herself. Hence, her anger had all vanished now.
The blonde girl was startled. She could not believe that the person in front of her was a mother of five or six. All the time, she thought Sharon was about thirty-five or thirty-six years old…
Xyla lightly patted the girl’s shoulder. “You’re a good dancer, girl, but please don’t do this anymore.”
The girl kept her mouth shut. She did not dare to make a sound. Neither did she want to reply to Xyla. She had just made a fool out of herself tonight. Ignoring Xyla, she ran off stage and darted away.
After the girl disappeared from her sight, Xyla averted her gaze to Stanley. The man was currently sitting at the bar, and there was not a single man around him. His noble figure stood out of the crowd, catching Xyla’s eyes effortlessly.
He was looking at her too. Their eyes meet across the crowded hall. They could only see each other despite the surging crowd. The dancing youngsters, the swirling wine, and the flashing lights were alluring indeed, but they were all nothing to the lovebirds.
Time stopped when their eyes met.
The man was like an untouchable orchid in the crowded disco bar, so valuable that no one dared to touch him. Many girls were trying to flirt with him, but he paid them no notice as usual.
Looking into his eyes, Xyla immediately took Sharon by her hand and weaved through the crowd, stopping right in front of the man.
He took a sip of the blue cocktail and put the glass down again. He then dotingly stroked her hair; admiration and fondness intertwining in his eyes. “My girl is amazing.”
Love was in the air, blinding everyone around the gorgeous pair. Once again, the DJ turned the music up.
