Chapter 758: 758: Clifford Wells' Inner Struggles

“What? Am I the kind of person who escapes from reality?” Clifford Wells immediately denied. At most, he temporarily left Belfard when they announced their good news one by one.

No, that’s not running away.

That’s called going on a business trip!

Clifford Wells happened to be sitting next to Cindy Clarke and leaned over to whisper to her, “Have you ever seen Adrian Zhekova drunk before?”

Cindy Clarke honestly nodded her head, “Adrian usually doesn’t drink much even if there is a social engagement and he is very measured.”

In fact, Adrian Zhekova has quite a few social engagements.

But most of them are arranged at noon, so he can come home on time at night.

Sometimes, if he can’t fit them in and has to be at night, he doesn’t drink much either.

When he comes home, all he can smell is a very faint alcohol scent.

That is only if you get close enough and sniff carefully.

Clifford Wells laughed maliciously, “Hehe, do you know that if old Zhao gets drunk, he becomes especially well-behaved?”

Clifford Wells thought for a moment and found a comparison, “Better behaved than Morgan Zhekova.”

Cindy thought that, sometimes, Morgan Zhekova didn’t behave well either.

The comparison made by Clifford Wells wasn’t very accurate.

“I’ve actually heard about this.” Cindy whispered.

It was what Adrian Zhekova told her himself.

It was because she was calculated five years ago, and Adrian Zhekova also drank too much.

According to Adrian Zhekova, he was very manageable after getting drunk.

Whatever you ask him to do, he’ll do it.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

At the thought of that, Cindy couldn’t help but blush.

She hadn’t really thought about the past specifically before.

Because Adrian Zhekova just briefly explained the misunderstanding at the time.

And after the two of them got together, they were so sweet to each other that they didn’t need and didn’t have time to think about the past.

Moreover, Cindy didn’t have much deep memory of the past events.

Just some shallow fragments.

Now that Clifford Wells mentioned Adrian Zhekova’s drunken state, Cindy couldn’t help but think of the time five years ago.

That was the only time she knew Adrian Zhekova got drunk.

But she had no impression of it.

At the time, she was drugged by Wendy Clarke and was unconscious.

Now that she thinks about it, if Adrian Zhekova was very well-behaved when he was drunk, he certainly wouldn’t cause trouble.

It must have been that he would do whatever she asked him to do.

So, wouldn’t it mean after she was drugged, she was the one who initiated it?

In other words, wasn’t it her who… who took advantage of Adrian Zhekova at the time?

Moreover, it was while Adrian Zhekova was drunk that she took advantage of him…

Suddenly, there were images in Cindy’s mind.

Under the influence of the drug, she transformed into a wolf, and Adrian Zhekova was pitifully clueless.

He obediently let her manipulate him, and as a result, she took advantage of him.

Cindy somewhat struggled to turn her head to look at Adrian Zhekova.

It was fortunate that the two of them got married.

Otherwise, Adrian Zhekova would have been too miserable.

Adrian Zhekova: “…”

Why was this girl looking at him with the kind of eyes one would have when looking at a poor girl who was oppressed by a tyrant?

More importantly, she was looking at him with those eyes.

Cindy couldn’t help but reach out and hold Adrian Zhekova’s hand, gently patting it a few times to comfort him.

Luckily, she was responsible for him now.

Adrian Zhekova: “…”

What on earth is going on!

Adrian Zhekova suddenly narrowed his eyes at Clifford Wells.

Just now, this guy was secretly whispering something to Cindy.

It was after listening to Clifford Wells that Cindy’s gaze turned peculiar.

Although Adrian Zhekova had explained to them about his encounter with Cindy due to a misunderstanding, even the best brothers wouldn’t tell them the details.

So they didn’t know the specifics of what happened between Adrian Zhekova and Cindy, like how Adrian Zhekova was drunk and allowed others to manipulate him.

“Let me tell you, old Zhao is very interesting when he’s drunk,” Clifford Wells said sneakily. “He’s not noisy or disruptive, just too well-behaved, like a three-year-old.”

Cindy was somewhat moved by Clifford Wells’ words but also felt reluctant.

Moreover, getting drunk isn’t exactly a comfortable thing. Afterward, it’s Adrian Zhekova that would suffer.

So, Cindy firmly shook her head, “No, I don’t support you guys forcing drinks on each other. You guys should drink as you like.”

Clifford Wells thought it was great to be married; he even had a wife to worry about him.

Back then, no one cared if Adrian Zhekova drank more or less.

However, tonight, there is no need for Clifford Wells to urge Adrian Zhekova to drink; he is happy to drink more for a change.

When socializing, he doesn’t dare to drink much because he’s afraid others will know his weakness, and he doesn’t trust those people.

But there’s nothing to worry about tonight.

Everyone drinking together is like brothers who share the same pants.

And Cindy is here with him.

He can completely relax and not have any defenses.

After he and Cindy got the certificate, their family members were already preparing for the wedding.

But during this time, except for celebrating with family members at the family mansion, there hadn’t been a chance to celebrate properly with friends.

He always felt that their marriage was too low-key and there was not much sense of reality.

Just as well, today all the brothers were gathered, and they all let loose.

They didn’t say they wouldn’t stop until they were drunk, but they also didn’t rush home like before.

After all, the kids were not around.

Clifford Wells was the most moved tonight.

He hadn’t had such a great time with his brothers in a long time.

Everyone was busy, and it was not easy to find time to get together.

And since everyone had their own families, these people, after getting married, simply hated to go out.

If it weren’t for their jobs, Clifford Wells highly doubted they’d become homebodies.

Even if they managed to gather for a party, they would bring their wives and children along.

And these years, the gatherings that were almost complete were mostly because someone was getting out of the single life.

As long as someone was leaving the single life, he would suffer.

This really made Clifford Wells both pain and joy.

“It’s a pity that old Joseph Callaghan and Jackson Callaghan are not here tonight,” Clifford Wells took a sip of wine and said.

By “Jackson Callaghan,” he meant Jackson Callaghan.

The reason for calling him that has an interesting backstory, but it starts with Jackson Callaghan’s name.

To make a long story short, you can also understand it as reversing the pronunciation of “Jackson Callaghan.”

It had nothing to do with Jackson Callaghan’s personality.

Of those present, the only one with a personality related to a dog was Adrian Zhekova.

As for old Joseph Callaghan, he was Jackson Callaghan’s cousin.

By chance, both brothers had other things to do abroad.

So they didn’t attend tonight’s banquet.

Anthony Smith, another bachelor, is still in the army and can’t even come back for Chinese New Year.

As a result, at the table now, there was only Clifford Wells, the lone bachelor.

He suddenly felt very lonely, very cold.

Looking at this group of people, they were all paired up.

“Old Zhao! I can’t let you off tonight!” shouted Clifford Wells.

Cindy looked in shock at Clifford Wells.

Could it be that being single for a long time caused Clifford Wells to become a pervert!

Clifford Wells was bitter in his heart!
