Wade suddenly thought of the day a few years ago. That day, he became the mayor of Hope City, and Patrick brought Emerald to that banquet. Somehow, they left a deep impression on him that night. The director of the Security Bureau, who was unruly and aggressive, didn’t seem to be a good match for a lonely, pretty but weak girl. He didn’t expect that they would still be together after years of wars. This time, she looked more peaceful and confident while he kept taking care of her tenderly as if he was another man. Except for Wade Sterling, other powerful people were also looking at them. Then Patrick walked quickly to Emerald and stood in front of her. Emerald saw him when she turned around, and then they smiled at each other quietly. He held her waist softly, and she held his arm with a smile. Then the people here fell into silence. This was the busiest two months for people. It seemed to be easy for species to coexist peacefully, but it was actually difficult. Different species had different demands, and all of them tried to gain more benefits. No one was easy to handle. Certainly, power was everything. Therefore, the laws and secret agreements were basically fair and reasonable. Now, Wade finally had time to have a banquet to celebrate the peace. After the military and political officials had arrived, the banquet officially began. The most powerful people were sitting around one table in a room inside, which was quieter than the outside. Emerald was a little nervous sitting on Patrick’s left side. Evan Silas was sitting opposite her.Although he changed his appearance and his memory was eliminated, Emerald still felt scared when he looked at her occasionally. But she was calm since she knew that he didn’t remember her. However, Evan Silas didn’t notice her, and he only looked at her politely. Wade made a toast. Yorick looked at Malcolm with suspicion when he saw the dishes on the table, “Gerald, you haven’t put poison in the dish, have you?” Malcolm laughed, “Do you dare to eat?” Wade smiled quickly, “You can feel free to eat, Marshal Gabe. I’ll be responsible if anything happens.” Emerald couldn’t help but smile. Yorick took a big bite, but he looked at Emerald sharply, “Emerald, how can you laugh at me? It was me who took you back from the machine guard to the Alliance, and you plotted against me with your husband.” Emerald didn’t know about the poison, but she suddenly smiled when she said, “I’ll support whatever he does.” Everyone laughed. Patrick reached out his arm and put it on Emerald’s chair, and he smiled even more happily. “Machine guard?” Evan suddenly asked, “What happened?” No one knew what to say. Yorick and Patrick looked at each other and smiled, “Hah, it’s just a misunderstanding. Not worth mentioning.” Kahlil looked at Patrick to tell him that he would find a reason to tell Evan. They all had a great meal that day. After the meal, the music was on, and the dance party started. They walked into the hall, and all the officials were waiting for them with a smile. Wade Sterling and his wife danced to the opening song in the applause. Then all the people started to dance.Patrick held Emerald, and they slid into the dancing floor. Emerald’s face seemed radiant with the soft light on it, and Patrick couldn’t look away. He quietly stared at her, ignoring other people’s looks, and kissed her gently on her cheek and lips once in a while. With Patrick staying with her, all the other people and music were just background for her. Emerald stayed in Patrick’s arms and swayed with him, saying that their son could stand up on his own by holding the sofa and how much he could eat. Patrick just smiled at her. “Do you remember our first dance?” He asked. “Of course.” How could she forget? They didn’t dance at Wade Sterling’s banquet that year. Instead, they danced at the celebration party for Emerald and other soldiers, and he kissed her heavily in front of other people. “And I invited you to dance with me.” Emerald smiled, “You were pretending to be Kenzo Lane.” Patrick was silent. It was at the social dance party of the University of science and technology and the military school. He didn’t want to go at first, but he somehow changed into a new shirt after seeing the note Emerald gave him the other day, which had the location and time written on it. Then in the dancing pool, which was the second stadium of the University of science and technology before, he saw Emerald, in a graceful uniform, dancing with the handsome boys of military school one by one. Many people in his school found this girl with a bright smile attractive. He realized that day that he wasn’t comfortable when she danced with other boys. She was so gorgeous and cute and should only belong to him. He made up his mind.Emerald seemed to be forthright, but she was actually very shy at that time. She didn’t know that she couldn’t refuse Patrick, who was cold and reserved, anymore once he made up his mind. Patrick smiled when he thought about their first dance, and he kissed her forehead, “Yeah, you invited me.” After dancing for many songs, Patrick walked away with Malcolm to talk with several powerful entrepreneurs. When Emerald wanted to go back to her seat, Yorick walked to her with a smile and bowed to her gently. Emerald put her hand on his, and they swayed to the dance pool, which attracted many people’s attention. Out of Emerald’s expectations, Yorick wanted to know more information about Rosalind. He met Rosalind, who was treating the human soldiers when he inspected the troops. Since Rosalind didn’t know who he was, she criticized him because he interrupted her work.After giving away something about Rosalind, Yorick finally went away. Then Wade Sterling walked to her. The two old friends were emotional when they met each other. They danced to two songs while talking. Then Kahlil came to her. He wanted to apologize to her. He couldn’t let go of the fact that he wavered between Evan Silas and Patrick, but Emerald still felt thankful to him since Patrick would’ve died a long time ago without him.
