Chapter 355: Unmistakable
The crowd parted like the sea as Alexander and Rain stepped onto the dance floor, seamlessly blending with the other couples. The soft, intimate melody filled the air, and Alexander pulled her close, his hand resting firmly on her waist, guiding her with practiced ease.
Rain’s heartbeat quickened as she whispered, "Why are you here?"
Alexander’s lips curved into a subtle smirk, his deep voice carrying a warmth that sent a shiver through her. "I came to rescue my wife from insufferable gossip," he replied, his tone low and intimate. "And if being present here and dancing with you silences them, I’ll do it a hundred times over."
As they moved together, the tension in Rain’s shoulders melted away. She tilted her head up, meeting his gaze. His expression was calm, protective, and tinged with something deeper, a tenderness that made her heart ache.
Around them, the whispers shifted. The earlier spiteful murmurs were replaced by softer tones of admiration, accompanied by the occasional flash of a camera. Reporters who had been invited as guests eagerly snapped photos, immortalizing the couple’s undeniable chemistry.
"They look perfect together."
"Maybe the rumors about the contract aren’t true."
"She’s definitely not a rebound..."
"Look at how they gaze at each other. That’s love if I’ve ever seen it."
