Chapter128: Get Drunk
Though Alice Roberts smiles happily, John Blake still catches her sadness, feeling powerless and distressed for her. He doesn't know what happened, but it must have something to do with Edward Smith.
If marriage is what she wants, he would like to marry her.
"Edward, stop drinking, or you'll have to go to the hospital."
Shane White takes away the XO in his hand, which is the third one he drinks tonight. He is crazy, finishing two bottles, and now he is going to drink another one. ""Give it back to me."
Edward Smith robs it back, and then drinks a big gulp straight to the mouth. His eyes are darkening, there's no more light in them.
Shane White is stunned by his expression, taking away his bottle again, asking him, "Tell me what happened. You've been upset for some time, is it related to Alice?"
"I have nothing with her anymore." only in the presence of his best friend, under the influence of alcohol, can he show the sad expression.
A proud business genius, who is in the busy bar, desperately tries to get drunk, which makes Shane White want to complain about Alice Roberts, "There are plenty of fish in the sea, why do you have to choose Alice? Whoever you want is easy for you."
It seems to bear his words out, a hot lady walks towards them, holding a cup of wine, looking at Edward with her best winsome smile, being closer to him deliberately, "Hey boy, shall we have a drink?"
When meeting the case like this in normal times, Shane will drive them out or wait to see how Edward reacts.
But today, he chooses to answer her question, "My friend just broke up with his girlfriend."
After listening to these words, the lady lights up her eyes, showing her nice figure to cater to Edward, "Oh come on, boy. It's no big deal. I promise you would have fun with me."
"Get out of my way." Edward is unmoved by her words and pushes her away.
Almost pushed on the ground, that hot lady can't help scolding him, "A dashing face deserves nothing, you're still unlucky in love!"
Shane gets shocked by her blunt words.
What responses to the words is a look as hard as flint in Edward's eyes, which chills the scolder. The lady watches Edward's face, she regrets to chat with him. Suddenly she knows why this man is familiar to her, he is... "I..." the lady stutters. It's a not a good choice to irritate this man.
Seeing the frightened look on her face and the appearance of stuttering, Shane feels bored. They meet a boring woman again. He pours wine for himself and Edward, "Have a drink."
Edward turns into an upset man again.NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
Seeing this, that sexy lady is relieved and about to leave, but she thinks about trying getting that man again.
The man who could only be seen on the TV in the past is seen in the reality today. She is sure that the god is blessing her.
"He doesn't like to repeat words. You can guess what he would do if you prefer to stay here for one more second." Shine gives the greedy lady a wry look and says.
Hearing the warnings and seeing Edward's face darkens into a cold expression, the lady finally leaves unwillingly.
Shine teases Edward, "Look at you, you drove away another girl again. Wouldn't you consider loving another girl?"
"How about Joanna Hale?" Edward smiles ironically.
His answer freezes Shine, who observes the serious expression on his face, shocking, "No, you must be joking! Do you really want to get married with her?"
"I'm serious." Edward finishes drinking another cup, whose eyes are full of sadness, "If I can't be with her, then it doesn't matter who I marry."
When Shine is about to ask him for more details, he frowns because of a person, Charles Johnson, who is drinking at the counter.
Nobody knows clearer than Shine how much Edward has hated Charles for the past five years.
They used to be on good terms, but it burned into ashes due to a woman. Shine can't judge who ought to be blamed. Should Charles be blamed because of his personality problem or should it be blamed that Alice has poor appreciation of choosing a man? He doesn't know.
Now, judging from Edward's condition, Shine decides not to bother him.
But the story often starts with some annoying guys. Unfortunately, Tipsy Charles catches a sight of Edward, he walks to them with a bottle of Martell, which makes Shine speechless by his excellent courage.
"Shine?" Edward is confused by his brother's pause.
Following his eyesight, Edward's mood gets worse. It's out of his expectation to meet Charles at the bar.
"Edward, you're the person who is going to be a bridegroom, you must be happy. Come on, tell me what turns you into a pity drunkard." If Charles is sober, he dares not to irritate his uncle.
But he heard a piece of bad news today, with burning sadness and hatred.
Joanna will get marry with Edward!
They do plan to get marry, and Edward agrees. So what about him? It's he that has had a crush on Joanna for many years and has done many things for her. How can he reconcile to the fact?
She was pregnant with his child, but preferred to abort the baby rather than tell him. Even though she aborted the child, he still chose to take good care of her instead of complaining. But it turned out that she betrayed him!
"Come to think of it, being mayor's son-in-law is your dream, right? You are going to make it, so why don't you spend the wonderful night with your bride? The bar does not suit you." Seeing that man have no reaction, Charles adds. Shine is choked by his shocking words. Does he get drunk? Then why Charles, kind of a wuss, was challenging Edward?
Irritated by his nephew, Edward put down the cup, peering at him with an evil smile, whose voice is cold as ice, "Say it again."000
