CHAPTER 192: CHAPTER 192: HURRY UP AND HOLD ME

After they started eating, Sharon Lancaster eagerly devoured the food without any regard for image, her mouth full as she muffled praises about the taste.

Watching her, Louis Quinn worriedly reached out to pat her back, advising her to eat slowly to avoid choking, and thoughtfully handed her a cup of water.

Sharon thanked him while taking it.

Nina Sinclair observed their interaction, feeling a bit suspicious.

Previously, Sharon had mentioned she had a crush on Louis, but why did it seem like Louis was also very doting and caring towards Sharon?

Suddenly, she thought of Julian Lancaster. He was also so thoughtful and warm-hearted.

Being his good buddy naturally meant he had a similar nature, which probably explained why they got along so well. Perhaps this was where misunderstandings arose, when in fact, it was just their gentlemanly nature.

Next, Sharon opened a can of beer and handed one to everyone.

Unexpectedly, after a round, neither Nina Sinclair nor Julian Lancaster got drunk; instead, Sharon herself was blushing, laying on the table, cursing the unfaithful Samuel Rhodes.

"Hic... Samuel Rhodes is a big jerk!"

"He’s a shameless scumbag!"

After cursing for a while, Sharon finally felt relieved. She hooked an arm around Nina, with a smile on her face, "Nina, hehe, we’re soon to be family!"

"What family?" Nina asked, puzzled.

"Just..." Sharon’s mind seemed disconnected. She said two words, then paused for a long time, unable to recall what she wanted to say.

Julian Lancaster’s face darkened.

Seeing Sharon so intoxicated, he feared she might say something that would reveal his secret identity.

He immediately signaled to Louis Quinn to take Sharon away.

Louis received Julian’s instruction, stood up, and supported Sharon, softly saying, "Sharon, you’re drunk. Let me take you home."

"No, I want to drink more! I’m not drunk. What are you doing, let go of me!" As she got up, Sharon wobbled and nearly toppled over.

She quickly reached out to cling to Louis, grumbling, "Why is everything spinning around me? Is it an earthquake? Louis, hold me tight."

Louis helplessly wrapped his arm around her waist to steady her.

He said to Julian and Nina, "I’ll take her home first."

Soon, the two of them left, leaving the room suddenly empty.

At this moment, Nina Sinclair stood up to clean up the leftovers, but unexpectedly, as she stood, she felt dizzy and tumbled to the side.

She hadn’t felt it before, but now the alcohol kicked in.

Nina was just a bit better off than Sharon.

Her nerves were numbed by the alcohol, making her sluggish, and she was ready to collapse. Unexpectedly, a strong hand gripped her waist, and Julian’s solid chest pressed against her.

Nina looked at him in a daze, her expression blank yet adorable.

Seeing Nina’s innocent eyes, with rosy cheeks—an inexplicable allure, Julian’s throat subtly moved as he felt an easy rush of warmth ignite within him.

He could not help but pull Nina closer and then lowered his head to kiss her.

Nina was already slightly drunk, but now she was completely intoxicated, clutching onto his clothes and melting into his embrace.

As things escalated, Nina suddenly snapped back to reality.

Sensing the potential for things to go out of control, she placed her hand against Julian’s chest to push him away, blushing furiously as she escaped the scene and dashed into the bathroom.

As her back pressed against the door, Nina was left gasping for air in startled panic.

Her heart felt like it was about to leap out.

Julian, just now...

He must have been drunk to have done such a thing to her. Fortunately, she sobered up in time; otherwise, it could have led to terrible consequences.
