Mommy，We Got a Husband
Chapter 97 Reunion with Old Love

Then, Alaric naturally introduced her to these business tycoons, and although she had been away from this kind of life for six or seven years, she was still a lady, so she handled it with ease. Alaric was surprised by Galatea's elegance and composure on such a grand occasion. She was also familiar with etiquette and social skills.

The soothing jazz music began to play, and everyone instinctively paired up and started dancing. Alaric put his arm around Galatea's waist, and Galatea naturally placed her hand on his shoulder. Their coordination was special, with seamless movements.

"You did well just now," Alaric praised and then curiously asked, "Do you often attend this kind of event?"

If she didn't often attend, she wouldn't be so adept at it.

"Not really," Galatea replied, "Whenever my father was still alive, he would take me to these occasions."

In her previous remarks, Galatea had indeed mentioned that she was born into a wealthy family that had fallen from grace, indicating that her previous household was not simply wealthy.

"I am now curious about your previous household," Alaric said.

In fact, Galatea had already intended to tell him about it, but...

"You wouldn't want me to tell you in this kind of setting, would you?"

As soon as she finished speaking, his arm around her waist tightened, almost lifting her off the ground.

"No, I'll let you tell me slowly in the future..."

He whispered this in her ear; it tickled, but on the surface, Galatea remained composed, still gracefully dancing with him.

Alaric was very satisfied with this and had a feeling that the more he got to know Galatea, the more it would stimulate his innate sense of curiosity.

After a while, the sounds of admiration from a few people at the entrance faintly reached Galatea's ears.

"Isn't that Mr. Gavin from Far East International? I heard in the news that Far East International established a construction company, and the first project was Mr. Alaric's entertainment city. It's really impressive."

"I've heard too much about Mr. Ambrose's reputation. In just five or six years, he became the deputy director of Far East International. He's truly a legend in the business world." "Yes, he is so impressive in person, very elegant."

Galatea had heard many compliments like these just now, so she was completely used to them on this kind of occasion and didn't pay much attention to them. But unexpectedly... "You're too kind. The construction company under Far East International has just started in Arizona, and I am new here. I hope you seniors can give me more guidance." That voice?!

Galatea turned her head towards the entrance, and when she saw his appearance clearly, her heart stopped, and her dancing movements became flustered, accidentally stepping on Alaric's foot.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Realizing that she had stepped on Alaric, Galatea quickly apologized, also afraid that this action would attract Ambrose's attention. She hurriedly lowered her head and pretended to continue dancing with Alaric as if nothing happened.

But how could she pretend nothing happened? She was very disturbed right now.

Seven years had passed, and this man had disappeared from her world for seven whole years. She had also imagined the scenario of meeting him again but never expected it to be like this.

How could he suddenly appear here? Did those people just now say that he is now Alaric's business partner? Is it really just a coincidence? Then...

"Galatea? Galatea?"

Upon hearing Alaric calling her, she hastily came back to her senses and looked at him, asking, "What's wrong? What's the matter?"

"It's you, what's wrong with you?" Alaric could certainly tell that she was anxious at the moment.

"Nothing... nothing," Galatea smiled in an attempt to conceal her unease and then fell silent.

Alaric's gaze also turned towards Ambrose, and he was certain that Galatea had suddenly lost her composure after seeing him.

Alistair? Ambrose?

And what Ambrose himself had told him before, that his girlfriend was in this city, and he loved her deeply, but they couldn't be together in the end.

"Galatea, let me introduce you to my current business partner," Alaric paused the dancing and took her hand.

Is he taking her to meet Ambrose? Galatea's movement froze for a moment, revealing her unwillingness. Alaric deliberately asked, "What's wrong? Don't want to go?"

"No."

When Galatea saw Ambrose, her subconscious instinct was to avoid him and quickly find an excuse to leave. But when Alaric asked like this, she suddenly changed her mind and vividly remembered a sentence Alaric had said. To come out of pain, one must face the pain directly.

Since Ambrose is Alaric's business partner now, there will inevitably be more encounters in the future. Moreover, she now goes by the name Galatea and has started a new life.

"Let's go." Galatea smiled at Alaric and naturally took his arm, surprising him. He thought she would find an excuse to leave, such as feeling unwell.

"CEO Ambrose is late today," Alaric approached, and the people surrounding Ambrose also dispersed. When Ambrose heard Alaric's words, he apologized sincerely, "There were some car issues on the way. I hope Mr. Alaric won't hold it against me."

"Why would I?" After saying that, Alaric raised his hand and embraced Galatea, saying, "Let me introduce you both. He is my current business partner, Ambrose, CEO of Far East Construction. And Ambrose, this is my fiancee."

Only now did Ambrose's gaze shift towards Galatea, and Alaric's gaze never left Ambrose's face as he observed his reaction.

Certainly, Ambrose was shocked when he saw Galatea. Though he appeared calm, his eyes clearly betrayed him. But it was fleeting, and he quickly regained his composure.

"Hello, CEO Ambrose," Galatea said with lips carried a faint smile, graceful and composed, and her tone was calm and confident, with a noble air emanating from her expensive evening gown. "My name is Galatea." Galatea?

Upon hearing the name Ambrose, Gavin Ambrose smiled calmly and extended his hand towards her in a gentlemanly manner, saying, "Hello, I am Gavin Ambrose." Galatea also graciously extended her hand, lightly shook it, and then retracted it.

She was surprised by Ambrose's indifference at this moment, as if he was truly a stranger and didn't recognize her, or was it just an act? She didn't know.

She used to believe that she understood this man very well, but only after he disappeared from her world did Galatea realize that she had never really known him. "Mr. Alaric's fiancee is so beautiful," Ambrose complimented.

"Of course, the woman I chose must be beautiful!" Alaric said immodestly. And when Galatea looked up, she was certain that he could see right through her.

Afterward, Galatea dutifully accompanied Alaric, standing gracefully by his side and listening to him speak. Meanwhile, Ambrose's gaze remained on Galatea, and his calm expression concealed something.
