The Substitute Bride

Sam was evidently unhappy, but he did nothing. Chris's dancing partner was taking the opportunity to get closer to her while dancing and Sam got even more upset. Nonetheless, he still kept a straight face.

Seeing Sam uneasy with what was before him, Autumn could not help smiling.

It was torture for Sam, standing helplessly at the edge of the dance floor. But it was the same for Chris. She just wanted to make Sam jealous. She really had no plans to do anything with other men. But she had already accepted the other guy's invitation and couldn't back out of it. She regretted every moment of it and it made her even more furious.

No matter how much he wanted to look away, Sam kept watching. Then the other guy's hands began to go to inappropriate places and started touching Chris. Finally, unable to stand it any longer, Sam stepped forward and pulled Chris away. He stood in front of the man, blocking him from Chris, staring him down.

"Who the hell are you?" The man asked angrily. Chris was beautiful and she came from a well-to-do family. Many men were eager to approach her, but only this one took action and actually went up to her. And now a dark figure stood between him and Chris. He was no doubt, unhappy.

"What the hell are you doing!" Seeing that Sam was concerned, Chris began to act silly again. She pushed away Sam's hand and shouted at him, "It's none of your business."

"You heard her, didn't you?" The man looked defiantly at Sam. "Miss Lu and I are having fun, dancing. Why are you getting in the way? Go mind your own business."

"Chris, you don't have to be mad at me……" Sam said in a serious tone. But Chris interrupted him halfway, "Who do you think you are? And why would I be mad at you? Do not think too much of yourself."

Though Sam was mad at Chris, he tried to explain his side to her patiently, "I know that you are mad at me for not getting in touch with you while I was abroad. But I was extremely busy the entire time. I tried my best to come back as soon as I could. I actually tried to be back before your birthday. Unfortunately, my flight was delayed. I called Autumn and let her inform you, but......"

Chris's eyes widened. Then she looked over to Autumn, who was standing near the dancing floor with a playful sm

at Sam and Chris were a good match. Now, seeing them happily together made him happier than anyone else.

The birthday party was filled with a cheerful and festive atmosphere because of the official declaration of the relationship between Sam and Chris. Even Cindy was clapping her hands, calling out to Chris and Sam for a kiss. For her, it was Sam's moment and he was in a better situation than Autumn. Also, kissing was the most appropriate way to express feelings between two people who are in love.

Chris blushed. But Sam being a true gentleman, kissed her lightly on the forehead. He then told Cindy with a wide grin, "You are enjoying this, aren't you?"

Then all of a sudden, the room grew quiet as if a cold wind had blown over everyone. There were a few gasps. Rachel had arrived.

And she was not alone.

"Look! What do we have here? What are we celebrating?" Holding the arm of an old man, Rachel walked towards Charles and Autumn. She wave her hand and the bodyguard behind her offered a gift box, "Dear Chris, I've heard from Mr Lu that it is your birthday today. I was thinking that I had to come, so I quickly picked up a gift for you. I have no idea whether you'd like it or not, but please do not reject it."

"What are you doing here?" While she felt at the top of the world only a few minutes ago, Rachel's unexpected appearance got her defense mode on.

However, it was the intimidating man beside her rather than Rachel herself that caused even more uneasiness among the Lu family.
