Chapter 1040 A Rare Moment of Happiness

Everyone stood up together with a glass of red wine in their hands, respectively. They raised their

glasses and gave Eleanor a toast.

"Welcome, Miss Gomez."

"Welcome, Eleanor."

"Pleased to meet you, Miss Gomez."

"Bottoms up!"

"Cheers!"

"Just let me know if you need anything in the future."

Eleanor was overwhelmed with gratitude when she saw everyone give her an extremely warm

welcome. She stood up, and with her wine glass in her hand, she nodded slightly. "Nice to meet you as

well. I look forward to having more fun with you guys in the future."

Immediately afterward, the crisp and pleasant sound from the soft clinking of the glasses rang in the air

like a silver bell.

On the rectangular table was a sumptuous dinner ranging from champagne to traditional cuisines,

desserts, and fruits.

As night fell, the black satin-like night sky was dotted with stars. The night breeze was gentle, and a

few fireflies appeared vividly on the green plants, which boosted the romance and serenity of this night

even more.

The atmosphere was cheerful and lively as everyone chatted freely. However, they avoided discussing

Eleanor's identity.

They chatted while watching a movie. After dinner, the group sat together and sang songs. When

things were merry, they would drag their partners to the dance floor on the side to have a dance.

Meanwhile, the rhythm of the song gradually changed to a melodious waltz. Matthew stood up and

walked up to Veronica. With one hand behind his back and the other reaching toward her, Matthew

bent over slightly and asked, "My fair lady, may I have the honor to have this dance with you?"

On the contrary, Veronica couldn't really adapt to the sudden romantic life after having experienced the

hidden clan's daily soul-stirring life. In fact, she even felt as though she was in a dream.

She curled her rosy lips slightly, forming a smile on her face. Then, she shook her head and refused, "I

can't dance."

"It's okay. I will teach you." Matthew smiled warmly. A rare hint of fondness painted on his stoic face. It

was as though his facial features were about to overflow with abundant love.

"But I really can't."

"It doesn't matter." Then, he took Veronica's hand in his, walked aside, and placed one arm around her

waist while holding her hand with the other. "Come, follow my steps and dance slowly. It's as easy as

pie."

"Don't blame me if I step on you."

"How can I blame you when I keep seeking chances to love you dearly?" Matthew approached her and

whispered in her ear.

Veronica couldn't dance, indeed. Even though she had danced the waltz when she was in college, her

skills were rusty. As a result, she would step on Matthew's feet from time to time.

Veronica laughed at herself, utterly amused by her awkwardness.

In the meantime, Eleanor, who sat on one side, held the glass of red wine in her hand and lounged on

the chair. However, she never took her eyes off Matthew and Veronica.

She was envious as she looked at the loving and happy couple enjoying their evening. After

experiencing all those hardships, things finally work out for these two.

"Miss Gomez, shall I have this dance?"

Miguel figured out Eleanor's thoughts almost immediately. So, he got up and took the initiative to have

a dance with her.

"I would be honored." Eleanor placed down her wine glass, held Miguel's hand, and walked to the

dance floor with him.

In the meantime, Skyler and Shirley were already dancing. Only Thomas, Troy, Caleb, and Yvette were

left sitting on the couch in ultimate boredom.

Yvette gazed at the three dancing couples and glanced at Troy before nudging him with her elbow.

"Why don't we have a dance together too?"

"Not interested," Troy rejected as he leaned on the lounge chair and looked up at the starry sky. Then,

he closed his eyes and dozed off.

"It's okay. Since Troy doesn't want to dance, I will dance with you then." Thomas voluntarily rose to his

feet and reached out to Yvette. She hesitated for a moment before she took Thomas' hand and started

dancing to the music.

There was no doubt that such a beautiful night soothed one's feelings.

At this moment, Shirley stood in front of Skyler. She had worn her mask back on to cover the scar on

her face after dinner.

Skyler couldn't help but voice his thoughts, "Shir, actually… you can take off your mask."
