Chapter 1722
"Okay," Jackson replied in a flat voice as his gaze shifted toward the ten men in the room.Those men had learned from Mr. Jones earlier of Serenity's identity, so as soon as they heard her call the man who had just entered 'Jack', they instantly knew who he was.Mr. Valor! The man rarely ever appeared in the media in Solaria. It was even hard to find any information about him or pictures of him online. Yet now… they got to meet the man in person!"Have you been drinking with them here all along?" asked Jackson, his voice tinged with a certain emotion. The men in the room were all wearing different styles of clothes, and they all looked different, yet they were all pretty good-looking, more than handsome enough to attract women.Serenity shuddered. She sensed the jealousy in his voice, so she hastily explained, "I… I've just been accompanying Lisa to cheer her up, that's all. Besides, I didn't drink that much at all."She had only drunk a few glasses of wine. It was Lisa who had d

"No!" Lisa still protested. "I… I'll go back on my own… you don't… you don't need to send me home… I don't want to be the third wheel!""How can I let you go home on your own when you're this drunk?!" argued Serenity."Don't worry… I… I'll ask my friend to pick me up… Gale… Gale Porter…"As Lisa garbled her words, she pulled out her phone and dialed a number. The call went through, and when it was answered, Serenity was just about to take the phone and explain the current circumstances to Gale Porter, but she was startled when she heard the voice coming from the other end of the line."Lisa? Is that you, Lisa?"It was Terry White's voice! Serenity was bewildered. Did Lisa just… call Terry White?"I… I'm not looking for you, Terry! I'm trying to call… Gale Porter… Where's Gale? Let… Let Gale speak to me…""Gale Porter?" It sounded as if Terry had just uttered the name through gritted teeth. "Are you drunk, Lisa?""Yeah… That's right! I drank so much today! Also… I'm with so many

"Also," the staff member added, "it looks like it has something to do with Mrs. Valor's friend… I mean Miss Quest, because Mr. White just asked which room Mrs. Valor is in."Hearing this, Mr. Jones's heart sank. In the next moment, he noticed a tall figure walking toward him, and it really was… Terry White!'Good lord!' he silently bemoaned. "What's happening today? How did I get so 'lucky'?!'Terry walked up to the door, glanced at Mr. Jones, and asked, "Are they still inside?"Mr. Jones hastily replied, "Yes, yes, they're still inside."Terry opened the door and saw Lisa playing boxing with a group of men while Serenity was sitting beside her and Jackson was at the other end of the sofa.The sight of Jackson there surprised Terry, but he could easily tell that Lisa must have drunk a lot. The empty bottles of wine all over the floor confirmed his guess. The men were instantly relieved the moment they saw Terry entering the room. They were glad that someone had come to pick up

"Wait, Jack! But Lisa's still in there…""Terry's here," said Jackson. "He'll take her home. There's nothing to worry about.""But…""Or do you want to stay here so you can touch Terry's face and find out if it's as nice as Lisa claimed?"Jackson raised his eyes and glanced at Serenity."No!" she hastily replied."Then let's go home now."Meanwhile, Terry pulled Lisa's hands down, bent down, and without saying a word, scooped her up into his arms before striding out of the room."Wait!" Lisa protested, struggling to get down from Terry's arms. "I… I don't want to go yet! I want to drink more! I want to play boxing with them, and I… I want to see them dance…""Fine," said Terry coldly. "Then I'll drink with you, play boxing with you, and dance for you!""You…" Lisa tilted her head dazedly, almost as if still thinking about what he had just said. Nevertheless, she stopped struggling and quietly stayed in his arms.Terry then strode out of the room with Lisa in her arms. He sto

Terry was caught off guard. He lost his balance, and his whole body was pulled into the car in the backseat, falling right on top of Lisa's body.The smell of alcohol mixed with her own unique scent filled his nose, intoxicating him."Terry…" she murmured. "Why… Why did you have to come back into my life?"His body stiffened. She could not have known how much of a torture it was to be this close to her and to have her hold him like this. Still… he had no desire to push her away. He wanted her to keep on holding him like this. No matter how painful it was, he knew that he could endure it if he was with her."Because I miss you too much," he told her in a soft voice. He knew that it did not matter what he said to her right now because she would forget all of it once she sobered up. Still, he could not help but answer her question anyway."You miss me… too much?""Yes, I miss you too much…""But… don't you know how much I want to… move on from you?"Her voice was choked, and by th

However... when she kissed him like that, all his self-control crumbled. Even the pain his body was experiencing seemed not to matter anymore.He loved her so, so much. There was no way he could take his love back!He couldn't take her home now. Terry took a deep breath and straightened his clothes, then sat back in the driver's seat and restarted the car.The black car slowly left the residential area, as if it were never there.Half an hour later, Terry's car arrived at his mansion in Solaria. He carefully carried her into the mansion and laid her down on his bed.She was sound asleep with a little smile on her face, seemingly dreaming of something wonderful.Was he in her dream, he wondered."Lisa, am I still… the person you love?" Terry murmured softly.As long as she still loved him, he would fight for their future with everything he had. No matter the difficulties, he would find a solution.All he needed from her was the motivation to give it his all!The night was sile

"Since you're awake, go freshen up. There's a change of clothes for you in the bathroom. Once you're ready, come down for breakfast," he said.His gentle voice brought her back to her senses."But... last night, how did I... end up with you?" Lisa stuttered.Terry raised the corners of his lips in a mocking smile. "You always have these blackout moments when you drink. You don't remember anything that happened last night, do you?"Lisa bit her lower lip and looked at him with big, round eyes. She seemed pitiful and vulnerable when she did that."If I told you that, I wanted to take you home last night, but you kissed me and, just like in the past, promised me a bunch of things, would you believe me?" he said."No way!" she blurted out.With his eyes fixed on her, he walked over to the bed and leaned down, moving his face very close to hers. "Why not? Which part was it that you think you wouldn't do when you’re drunk, kissing me or making me promises?"She fell silent."Lisa Qu
Chapter 1729
"What happened after I got drunk last night?" Lisa asked Serenity."Yesterday, Jack and I wanted to take you home, but you insisted on calling Gale Porter. But in the end, you ended up calling Terry White instead, and then... well, he came and said he would take you home," Serenity roughly explained the events that took place yesterday to Lisa.The more Lisa listened, the more dumbfounded she became... It was so... embarrassing! She actually called Terry! And she... she even hugged Terry in public and flirted with him?!Indeed, getting drunk would only lead to trouble! Every time she drank alcohol and ran into Terry, they would get tangled up.Of course, the one who made the first move was always her. She was always the one who took advantage of Terry!"Lisa, are you alright? Did Terry take you home safely yesterday?" Serenity asked.Lisa could only give a vague reply, "I'm fine. Err, I'll tell you about it later." After that, she quickly ended the call.Lisa then called home,
