Kneel Down to Win Back the Heiress Queen novel Chapter 35

Chapter 35 The Past

Raine’s eyes were glistening as she stared at Alex, her dress slipping just enough to reveal one shoulder.

Most men would have lost their composure, but Raine’s words kept flooding Alex’s mind. Was Nancy really that kind of person? He couldn’t tell at all.

Seeing that Alex was deep in thought, Raine almost lost it, a wave of anxiety overtaking her at once. She absolutely couldn’t let Alex discover Nancy’s true identity. Alex belonged to her, and she would surely be his wife.

“Alex, you must be tired. Let’s go to bed early.” Raine tugged him toward the edge of the bed, but he instinctively pulled his hand away. “Raine, you should get some rest first.”

“Alex, you don’t want to sleep with me? I’m so scared of being here alone,” Raine said in a pitiful

Voice.

“We’re not engaged yet. If we slept together, it might ruin your reputation if this got out,” Alex explained gently.

Raine was so furious that she could’ve spat blood.

Alex comforted her briefly before leaving.

Raine immediately called Regina. “Mom, have you had any luck finding me a dance teacher?”

“I was just about to tell you! Guess who I found?” Regina replied.

Raine’s eyes widened. “Is it Mr. Warner?”

“No, it’s Nanette!” Regina revealed.

In that moment, Raine’s mind went completely blank, as if a firework had just exploded inside her. “Y–You’re kidding, right?” she stammered.

“Why would I lie to you? It’s Nanette! Raine, this time, first place is in the bag! I’ll take you to meet her as soon as you get back tomorrow!” Regina was practically bursting with excitement.

“Great, Mom‘ Please get my clothes ready. Oh my God, I actually get to learn from Nanette! Once I win first place at the National Dance Competition, Alex will have no choice but to propose!”

The Ladell and Fuller families were worlds apart

Although Alex had feelings for her, his mother had always looked down on her.

But with the title of national dance champion, his mother wouldn’t be able to say a word against

her

Raine’s heart raced Outside, it started drizzling She gazed at the gloomy sky, her eyes burning with determination to win

Meanwhile, Nancy and Gideon paused when a sudden drizzle began to fall

Without hesitation, Gideon took off his suit jacket and draped it over both of them. “I think we

should head back.”

“Okay.”

He walked Nancy back to her room. She stood under the eaves, the building’s light revealing one side of his shoulder that was completely soaked. Before she could say anything, he was already

gone.

Watching his retreating figure, she felt a myriad of emotions welling up inside her.

After taking a shower, Nancy was’lounging on the couch when she got a call from Hillary.

“That idiot Skylar Gibson must be throwing another tantrum. He came to the set, and now everyone’s refusing to talk to me,” Hillary fumed.

“Maybe it’s because you’ve been getting a little too close to the male lead lately?”
