"I accept," Gustav said as he reached out his hand and grabbed that of Matilda's before it dropped completely.
Hope flashed in Matilda's eyes as she turned back to stare at Gustav with an even broader smile.
Gustav stood to his feet and moved forward while still holding onto Matilda's hand.
The members of the Kwoiune and Odaly family that were present had conflicted expressions on their faces as they watched Gustav and Matilda walk towards the dance floor hand in hand.
Gustav didn't even spare Deitrick a glance as he walked past him with an unbothered expression.
Even the other youngsters from prestigious families had heard of the Odaly family but knowing Matilda's attitude, they wouldn't be surprised if she declined him despite their family's powerful status.
They had no idea that in this situation, Matilda didn't really have a choice. She would have accepted if Gustav had refused her hand.
