Chapter 1034: Chapter 1034

“Sure, go ahead,” I replied.

With a nod, Jenifer made her way towards her husband.

Her poised figure soon blended into the crowd and disappeared from view.

After her departure, Brian approached us, his demeanor somewhat secretive.

“Carlos, Sally, I wish you both a happy marriage!” It was clear that Brian had indulged in the festivities; his face was flushed, and his steps wavered slightly.

His thick eyebrows and unshaven beard gave him a comically rugged appearance.

Carlos burst into laughter at the sight of him.

“Ha-ha, Brian, who did your makeup? It’s quite a look!”

Brian, slightly bewildered, touched his face and replied with a hint of pride, “Melany did it for me.

It’s good, isn’t it?”

Their laughter continued for a moment before Carlos’ tone turned more serious.

“I heard about the drug development.

When are you getting out of prison? You can’t be there forever, especially with Melany.

She adores you, Brian.

Don’t let her down.

”

Caught off guard by the question, Brian hesitated briefly before responding vaguely, “Soon, I hope.

”

Debra’s POV:

“Brian, stop drinking!” Melany hurried after Brian, reaching for the glass in his hand.

He was unusually cheerful today, lifting the glass just out of her reach.

“It’s a rare chance for us to attend a wedding.

Let me drink a little more,” Brian implored.

Melany, hands on her hips, voiced her displeasure.

“But you’ve had plenty!”

“Not really.

Can’t have too much at such a joyful event,” Brian mumbled, striding towards the table.

His height and pace left Melany scurrying to keep up.

I noticed Brian endlessly drinking and mingling with guests from Roz Town.

His joy was evident.

Upon seeing me, a tipsy Brian ambled over.

“Debra, look after yourself.

You’re still weak from the tough childbirth.

It’s easy for you to fall ill.

”

I couldn’t shake the feeling something was off with him.

“Okay, I replied.

Once he moved away, I turned to Caleb, murmuring, “What’s up with Brian?”

Caleb responded calmly, “He’s just drained.

Developing the new drug in prison with Melany has taken a toll.

Now, he’s just unwinding.

”

But I suspected it was more complex.

“Don’t you think he’s overly emotional?” I asked cautiously.

Caleb reassured with a smile, “Don’t worry.

Brian’s introverted.

After the misty forest incident, he’s been down, blaming himself.

It’s fine for him to let loose a bit.
