Chapter 113: A Loved One (1)

Chapter 113: Chapter 113: A Loved One (1)Caiden Ward stepped into the hall and immediately saw this scene.

Under the shimmering glow of the crystal chandeliers, a young man and woman were dancing in each other’s arms. Their movements were fluid and graceful, exuding an air of ease and elegance, perfectly in harmony, so much so that they captivated the interest of a number of guests standing around watching.

"That man is Louis Cox, right? Ivy Cox’s younger brother?"

"First time seeing him."

"The Cox siblings really are impeccable in appearance."

"Who would disagree!"

"I heard the daughter just returned two months ago."

"A true heiress is always a true heiress."

A low murmur of conversation reached Caiden Ward’s ears, confirming that the serene, delicate girl under the lights was indeed Mia Ginger.

He hadn’t been mistaken.

Recalling Koa Jackson’s few reminders over the phone, he felt a bit amused. He conveniently grabbed a glass of wine from beside him and stood casually, observing the pair from afar.

He naturally knew Ivy Cox but was seeing Louis Cox for the first time.

The man appeared about the same age as him, his impeccably tailored black suit accentuating a perfect physique. His hair was black, short, neat, and his eyes were long and slightly upturned, which should have radiated a roguish charm. Instead, at this moment, he was slightly bent over speaking with Mia Ginger, with his sharp, bright eyes full of gentle affection, making him particularly captivating.

In contrast, Mia Ginger—

Seemed somewhat uneasy but there was no sign of wariness in her expression.

They were familiar with each other.

And not just a day’s acquaintance.

So, his usually aloof cousin had such a seemingly formidable romantic rival?

Did he know about this?

Caiden Ward thought with amusement, his mind moved, and he casually took out his phone and discreetly snapped a photo in their direction.

Mia Ginger happened to turn around just then, catching sight of him.

She was stunned for a moment, then realized he was the one Koa Jackson had mentioned.

Suddenly, she felt a bit awkward.

"What’s wrong?" Louis Cox stopped dancing and held her.

"It’s nothing," Mia Ginger smiled, "I’m tired, let’s take a break from dancing."

Louis Cox’s gaze fell on Caiden Ward, asking suspiciously, "Do you know Caiden Ward?"

"Huh?"

"That person from the Ward Family, the top among the four young masters of Cloud Capital, quite famous," Louis Cox smiled, "Recently, he was rumored to be with a popular movie star; not exactly a gentleman. Keep your distance from him, or you might be sold without realizing it."

"Ah!"

Mia Ginger looked at him speechlessly, too lazy to explain.

It seemed she and Caiden Ward had only met once?

She rarely paid attention to entertainment gossip, and Caiden Ward wasn’t exactly a celebrity. She naturally wasn’t aware of his private life.

Especially since he was Koa Jackson’s cousin!

Louis Cox’s guarded demeanor seemed indeed somewhat over the top.

Caiden Ward, however, approached her.

A soft murmur of surprise sounded around them.

At that moment, Mia Ginger really believed Louis Cox; Caiden Ward was indeed the so-called top among the four young masters of Cloud Capital.

"Miss Ginger, may I have the honor of inviting you to a dance?" Caiden Ward, as if meeting her for the first time, addressed her politely, bowing slightly, and extended his hand in an elegantly gracious manner, causing those standing nearby to gently gasp in surprise.

"Sorry, she is..."

Before Louis Cox could finish his sentence, Mia Ginger suddenly spoke, "I would be honored."

Louis Cox was taken aback, as Mia Ginger was already being led away by him.

The young master was quite frustrated!

Louis Cox watched their departing figures moodily, and took a glass of wine from the tray held by a waiter.
