Chapter 28

Throughout the evening, Jace fulfilled his promise. Whenever Loxley's group approached, he tactfully deflected their attention and redirected their focus elsewhere. Itzy and Ajax enjoyed their time together, dancing, laughing, and creating memories that would last a lifetime.

As the night drew to a close, Itzy realized that Jace had made a significant impact on her experience. His unwavering support had allowed her to have a wonderful time, free from the disruptions she had feared. She couldn't thank him enough for his assistance.

With a grateful smile, Itzy walked toward Jace. "I don't know what I would have done without you tonight. Thank you, Jace, for being there for me."

As Jace stood amidst the group of three, their ears caught Itzy's words, and their curious eyes instinctively turned towards Jace, awaiting his response. Despite sensing their inquisitive gazes, Jace refrained from meeting their eyes or acknowledging their presence.
