Brian said with a smile.

She knew he was very drunk when she heard this.

He would never say such a thing if he were sober. How could a proud man like him say such a thing?

“Brian, don’t tell me such things even if you’re drunk, okay? You know what? You’ll give me the wrong impression and make me think you like me when you say things like that,” Valda Theller murmured both to him and herself.

One should never take a drunk person’s speech seriously. There would only be more pain if one did. “Like… I like you…” He looked at her obsessively. “Valda Theller, I finally made myself fall for you, but you’re breaking up with me… You love me… but you have to break up with me?”

“Sorry, I was wrong to think I could wait until you fell for me,” said Valda Theller. She forgot to consider the issue of jealousy.

It was natural to get jealous when you loved someone.

The deeper the love and the more you could not attain it, the deeper the feelings of jealousy.

“Sorry?” Brian suddenly sneered and staggered to his feet. “Between you and me… Who owes the other an apology?”

Valda Theller said nothing because she did not know the answer.

“Valda Theller, tell me… you don’t want to break up. Tell me that and I… I can give you the right to get back together!” His hands pressed her shoulders as those drunken phoenix eyes of his stared closely at her.

Valda Theller felt the urge to cry. If people told the truth after getting drunk, could she fantasize that he liked her more than she thought now that he was saying such words?

However… just liking was not enough. The problem between them was that Brian loved Grace too much. Perhaps this love had deepened over the years.

This love was rooted in his heart, and no one else could change it.

No matter how hard she tried, she would be the abandoned one when he had to choose between her and Grace.

The feeling of being given up by the one you loved the most was really… upsetting.

“We broke up, so I don’t need the right to get back together,” Valda Theller said darkly.

However, as though he refused to hear her say that, he only stared at her and said, “Say it. Say you want to get back together! Say it!”

“Let me help you to the bedroom. Have a good sleep. You won’t feel that way anymore when you wake up,” she said.

“I won’t?” he murmured.

“Yeah, you won’t. I’m not important enough for you to say that to me,” Valda Theller said while taking one of his arms and putting it on her shoulder before helping him toward the bedroom.

Most of his body weight was on her body. People were especially heavy when they were drunk.

Valda Theller was already out of breath even though it was just a short distance from the living room to the bedroom.

After helping Brian to the bed in the bedroom, Valda Theller looked at Brian’s clothes while feeling troubled. Finally, she decided to help him take off the outer coat. She gave up the idea of helping him take off his shirt and pants.

Brian was lying on the bed with his eyes closed as if he had fallen asleep.

Valda Theller leaned over and started unbuttoning his coat with her fingers.

Just as she was about to undo the last button, his eyes popped open, and his hand caught hers.

“Ouch!” Valda Theller shouted.

He squeezed it so hard it was as if he was going to crush her hand.

“Does it hurt?” he murmured and released his grip. However, he drew her hand to his lips instead of releasing Valda Theller’s hand.

Her thin lips pressed the back of her hand as he peppered it with kisses.

“Valda, don’t leave me, okay?” His husky voice rang in the silent room.

Valda Theller instantly felt a clench in her heart as mixed feelings spread.

It was not that she wanted to leave.

She left because she did not want to be someone he hated!

“You know what, Brian? I regret knowing you so late,” Valda Theller murmured as she lifted his other hand and caressed his face. “How great would it be if I was the one who saved you on the hills? That way, you wouldn’t have unrequited feelings for Grace and experience such a difficult love. You and I wouldn’t be in this situation today either.”

She only said it because he was drunk.

“Why? Are you… Are you leaving me too? You said… we’re dating on the premise of marriage… So let’s get married. Let’s get married now… Would that make you want to stay with me?” he stammered.

“We’re not getting married,” said Valda Theller. It was because he had never loved her.

“Yes, we’ll get married. We’ll get married…” He suddenly rolled over and pinned her under him.

“Brian, what are you doing?” shouted Valda Theller. Her female instinct seemed to tell her what would happen next.

No, no!

Valda Theller tried to push Brian away, but his hands pressed hard against her wrist.

“Valda… Let’s… get married…” His lips fell on hers when he finished speaking.

The drunken kiss was so intense that it seemed to burn her soul…

They had a night of passion!

Valda Theller did not expect to sleep with Brian after she broke up with him.

She left his mansion in a hurry afterward.

Back in her apartment, she entered the bathroom and saw the marks he had left on her skin.

All her struggles ended in sorrow.

‘Why didn’t I fight to the end?’ she asked herself. Brian was so drunk that she could not find the opportunity to escape even if she wanted. She finally chose to give up.

Maybe… she wanted one last fling.

She wanted to feel him!

He was drunk, and perhaps he would not remember anything. However, Valda Theller was sober and remembered every detail.

“Valda, why are you in a trance?” The next morning, Camille Strickland came to see her best friend. Due to what had happened at the comic fiesta, she would accompany her best friend whenever she was free.

“It’s… It’s nothing.” Valda Theller came to her senses and shook her head quickly. She recalled the night before again.

“By the way, the news about what happened to you at… uh…

the comic fiesta has been deleted. You can no longer find them online. Do you think Brian did this?”

Camille Strickland speculated. After all, few people in Emerald City could do that in such a short time.

“I’m not sure,” answered Valda Theller. The mention of Brian’s name made her nervous for some reason.

Camille Strickland said emotionally, “Oh, I wonder what your uncle’s family will do next. They’ll do anything for money! By the way, your cousin said that your uncle is hospitalized. Is it true?”

Valda Theller said, “Whether it’s true or not, they won’t stop at nothing. We’ll find out if it’s true eventually.”

“You’re right,” said Camille Strickland. Suddenly, she stared at a spot on Valda Theller’s neck. “Wait, did you get a bug bite or your neck? It’s so red.”

Valda Theller froze and saw her best friend leaning over to look closer.

“Ah. It’s… It’s probably a mosquito bite!” Valda Theller immediately yanked the collar and covered her neck. She recalled the redness her best friend said. It was the hickey Brian had left on her body last night.

“Why is your face suddenly red?” Camille Strickland asked again.

“It’s hot,” said Valda Theller.
