Chapter 225 Meeting Rayan Again
“Who is he drinking with?”
“Me.” Christopher’s speech was slurred too. He seemed to have drunk a lot of wine. “He drank six glasses today. No, eight…”
Christopher was muttering under his breath.
“Where are you guys?” Jenna knew that a drunk person would either chatter non-stop or stay completely silent, therefore she interrupted him and asked unhappily.
“In the “Autumn’ private room of New Era Restaurant,” Christopher was speaking somewhat clearly and he gave the address. “Hansen is very drunk. He can’t drive like that. Call the driver to come over and you’d better come to him too. He seemed to really miss you. He keeps calling your name.”
Jenna fell silent after hearing this and hung up the phone.
Glancing at the streets, New Era Restaurant was not far from where she was.
After thinking for a while, she turned around and drove towards New Era Restaurant.
Hansen was found completely flushed in the ‘Autumn’ private room. He was sprawled across the bathroom floor vomiting. Christopher was not as drunk but he was dizzy.
When Jenna walked in, the stale air in the room was causing her stomach to churn. She had the urge to throw up.
“Where is Hansen?” she walked in and asked Christopher, who was resting on the sofa.
Christopher’s cheeks were slightly red. Leaning back on the sofa, he let out a loud burp. His red coat was thrown aside. Jenna could never forget what she saw. It was ghastly.
She walked in, annoyed while searching for Hansen.
Christopher smiled and joked, “It seems that you still love Hansen; at least his infatuation for you is not wasted.”
“Lame.” Jenna furrowed her eyebrows and her eyes were fuming with anger.
“Jenna, you’ve changed a lot. You were not this capable when we were classmates back then.” Christopher smiled and looked at her.
“Where’s Hansen? If you don’t tell me, I’m leaving.” Jenna didn’t care to talk to him. She just wanted to leave this place as quickly as possible. Hansen’s friends were really wild and Christopher was one of them. When they were in college, they would be seen flirting with girls and messing around with them. They were absolute playboys.
“Don’t worry, you and Hansen are the same. You’re just as impatient as he is.” Christopher smiled before he pointed to the bathroom with a helpless expression. “He is throwing up inside.”
Hearing this, Jenna looked at the bathroom door and it turned out to be shut tight. She heard a faint sound of someone throwing up. She then asked politely, “Why are you not drunk?”
“Me?” Christopher laughed when he heard that. “Let me tell you, Hansen is better than me in everything else other than drinking. I am a public official and sometimes I drink with criminals. Well, how can someone in that position get drunk that easily?”
Jenna bit her lips and said nothing.
however, her face was full of annoyance. Since he was not drunk, why did he ask her to come?
“Jenna, Hansen is drunk. I could only call you. I would not be able to handle him if anything happened to him. Hansen is stubborn. What if he insists on driving home? You know I’m no match for him.” Christopher seemed to understand what she was thinking. A tang of alcohol filled her nostrils as he opened his mouth to explain.
“Why did you guys drink? Don’t drink if you can’t hold your liquor.” Jenna was frustrated but when she heard the sound of Hansen vomiting in the bathroom, she got anxious.
“You still care about him.” Christopher stared at her and his eyes flashed with sadness. He placed his hand on the back of the sofa and tapped lightly. A smile soon appeared on his face.
It was fortunate that he did not pursue her when they were in college. Otherwise, he would be embarrassed by her.
“Who cares about him?” Jenna’s face blushed slightly. She turned and walked outside, trying her best to hide her blush.
“Waiter, bring two bowls of soup,” she ordered the waiter outside. When she turned around, a tall figure was standing behind her. Startled, she took a step back.
“Heh.” Christopher stood behind her, laughing heartily. “Jenna, don’t be afraid. I have something to tell you.”
“What?” She widened her eyes. This guy had always been unpredictable. He was exactly like Hansen.
“Jenna, I know about your father’s death and I’m very sorry. But, don’t worry, Hansen will give you an explanation and it won’t be too long,” Christopher said sincerely. Javon’s death was really unfortunate.
Jenna silently lowered her head.
“Jenna, Jenna.” Hansen staggered out of the bathroom and saw Jenna standing with Christopher. He stretched out his hand to shove Christopher aside and held her in his arms. He then kissed her hard.
Jenna was taken aback.
“Are you nuts? Let me go.”
Christopher was probably enjoying what he was witnessing. Jenna was both ashamed and anxious. Feeling uncomfortable, she struggled to push Hansen away.
This reckless man was really strong, Jenna thought. She was tightly pulled into his embrace. She smelt a tang of alcohol from his lips. She kept struggling, and they were shoving and pulling each other.
“Gee.” Christopher laughed openly. “Jenna, I guess I’ll leave him to you. If you can’t take control of him, you can call Butler Maud to have someone come. I still have some things to deal with. Adios.”
After Christopher finished speaking, he walked out of the room at lightning speed. Jenna really doubted that he was drunk. He probably got Hansen drunk so that he could ask her to come over.
“Jenna, don’t move. Let me kiss you.” Hansen hugged her, giggling, his breath full of alcohol.
“Don’t touch me, b*stard,” Jenna exclaimed angrily.
“Jenna, don’t treat me like this. I wasn’t the one who bailed Norton out of jail.” Hansen still had the last of his consciousness. He was hugging Jenna as he murmured. As soon as he said this, he felt his stomach surging and threw up on the sofa.
He threw up all over Jenna’s body and the unpleasant smell filled Jenna’s nose. She covered her mouth and had the urge to throw up too.
She hurriedly took out her phone and made a call. After a while, Nelson and Haward rushed over.
“Come on, feed him this bowl of soup,” Jenna said to the two.
Hansen was lying on the sofa. Although he was still talking, he still held her hand tightly.
It took Jenna a lot of effort to free herself from his grasp.
Holding the soup, she pinched his nose and forced him to take the soup. After a while, Hansen fell asleep.
“Send Young Master back to Richards Manor,” Jenna wiped her dirty clothes with paper towels and ordered.
“Yes, Madam.” The two helped Hansen out.
She checked the room. After making sure that nothing was left behind, she went out.
The night was dark, only to be ignited by the city lights. They were shining so brightly. Jenna couldn’t help but reflect on life. Life was full of prosperity and vicissitudes.
“Jen.” Jenna was walking out of the entrance of New Era Restaurant. She was walking towards the parking lot when a deep alluring voice came from a corner.
It was strange, yet familiar in some ways.
Jenna stopped in her tracks. There was a dull look on her face and her eyebrows furrowed in confusion.
“Jen.” The alluring voice behind her sounded again.
She slowly turned around.
Rayan was standing under the streetlamp. He was wearing a simple and casual European-style long windbreaker with a gray scarf around his neck. It complimented his elegant look- low-key, perfect, graceful, and carefree. That was what went through Jenna’s mind as she stared at him just standing quietly under the dim street lamp.
“Rayan, you are here.” She showed a stiff smile. She slowly brightened up and her face was filled with joy.
After receiving the mail from him that night, she forgot he was coming to A city.
She only remembered the moment she saw him.
“Jen, it’s been a long time since I saw you. Let’s go for a walk.” Rayan shrugged and smiled warmly.
He looked radiant. Although his eyes could not conceal the trace of loneliness they had, it did not affect how dashing he looked.
“Okay.” Jenna nodded, smiled slightly. She felt slightly apologetic.
The two walked side by side along the streets of the city.
“Rayan, when did you arrive in A city?” Jenna asked with a smile.
“I just reached.” Rayan’s eyes blinked as he teased, “Look, the first thing I did when I arrived at A city was to find you. Have you already forgotten me?”
He gave her a helpless smile and his eyes showed how awkward he was.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
“How is that possible?” Jenna denied with a smile on her face. Guilt sneaked into her heart. In reality, even if she hadn’t forgotten, she already put him to the back of her mind. Her life was in a mess recently. Where would she find the energy to bother about this?
“Jen, you don’t need to say anything. I know,” Rayan said. If a woman cared about her beloved man, could she resist not contacting him for months?
Obviously, this was impossible.
As far as her current situation was concerned, she still had feelings for Hansen. Everything was not how he thought would go.
“Rayan, what do you plan to do in A city?” She wanted to ask him what brought him here but that would make the situation awkward. Hence, she decided to avoid that question.
“Nothing much. I’m just worried about you.” The corners of his mouth raised slightly as he spoke softly.
Jenna blushed and said, “Rayan, I am fine. You don’t have to worry about me.”
Speaking of this, she lowered her head. She couldn’t help but touch her belly.
Was she really doing okay? The corners of her mouth formed a helpless wry smile.
“Jen, you don’t look too good. Is everything okay?” Rayan looked at her pale and sallow face. Her faint smile seemed a little lonely and desolate. His heart tightened as he asked gently.
Jenna’s heart shuddered. She felt tears welling up in her eyes. She lowered her head in fear that her tears would flow and faked a smile. “Nothing, I’m just tired as I’ve been taking care of my mother recently.”
