Two Dancing Lanterns

Zachary bared his teeth and said, "Cedric, you have so many women around you! Don't fall into Isabella's hand."

"I'm the host tonight. You're just here to join in the fun. I'll be the first to pick a wife."

"How can you do that?" Zachary protested. "Cedric, before I came, you said that I could do whatever I wanted."

Cedric directly nudged Zachary. "I don't remember it."

Zachary was speechless, but Isabella laughed out loud.

Zachary saw that Cedric refused to let go of Isabella and refused to let go. He went to the bar to drink and pondered how to lure Isabella back later. Jayden arrived late.

"What's wrong with you? The woman you like ran away with someone else?" Jayden picked up a glass of juice and gulped it down.

When Zachary saw Jayden, he sighed. "You are right. I want to get Isabella into bed."

...

"Isabella?" Jayden was choked on her juice.
