Chapter 696

Quincy walked over to James.

She wore a red slip dress that exposed her shoulders. Her red curly hair flowed in the wind. Her facial

features were fine and exquisite, and the lipstick she wore complimented her beauty.

She smirked at James who was sitting in a chair with wine bottles on the floor. “You look like you’re

having a great life.”

James got up and gestured to the seat beside him, “Have a seat. No need to be formal.” Quincy sat

opposite James. She adjusted her dress slightly and covered her legs to prevent herself from flashing

him with her underwear.

James did not notice her minute actions. He grabbed a bottle of wine and tossed it to her. Then, he

smiled at her. “I’m bored of drinking this by myself. I need someone to talk to.”

Quincy noticed that the alcohol content in the bottle James handed her was quite high. “I can’t drink

this. Do you have red wine?”

“Yes, hold on. I’ll go get some.”

James got up and went to the wine cellar to grab a few bottles of red wine. He gave Quincy a bottle.

Meanwhile, he opened a bottle of white wine and swallowed a big gulp. Then, he asked her, “Weren’t

you living happily in Cansington? Why did you come all the way here to the Southern Plains? This is a

chaotic place. Aren’t you afraid of danger?”

“Well, I have you here.” Quincy grinned back at him.

James paused as she said that.

He tried to laugh it off. “Never mind, let’s not talk about this. Cheers!”

Quincy opened her bottle of red wine.

The two drank a lot on the rooftop.

In the end, they sat on the floor with their backs against each other.

“James, I know you know why I came here. You’re just feigning ignorance. I had to come, even when I

was fully aware of how you felt about me. I didn’t want to have any regrets”

Quincy’s cheeks were red from the alcohol.

Although James drank a lot too, he remained sober.

James said nothing in response to her slurred words. “I don’t blame you.”

Quincy continued “Even though you and Thea are divorced, I know she still has a place in your heart. I

really am envious of her. If possible, I wish I was the one who saved you from the fire ten years ago. I

wish I was the one who got disfigured instead of her.” “You’re drunk,” James pointed out gently.

He stood up

The moment he stood up, Quincy now having nothing to lean upon, collapsed to the floor,

James quickly grabbed her to prevent her from falling

James helped her up. However, she was unsteady on her feet.

“Did you know? I waited ten years for you. I firmly believed that you’re still alive…”

Quincy hiccupped.

“I never thought that you’d be married to Thea ten years later. Did you know how terrible I felt after I

heard this?

“Seeing you being together with her broke my heart.

“You don’t know. You don’t care.

“You only have your eyes on Thea. “All because she saved you from the fire ten years ago. “You have

already divorced her. Why can’t you forget about the past and move on?” All this while, Quincy had

kept her thoughts to hersell. This time, she laid everything bare. She came to the Southern Plains from

Cansington to pursue her happiness. She wanted to tell James all that she felt. “I love you, James.

Forget Thea. Can’t you give us another chance?” Although she was drunk, she meant every word that

came out of her mouth. She wore a pleading look.

“You’re drunk. Let me bring you downstairs.”

James did not give her a response. He simply helped her downstairs.

He put her on a sofa on the first floor.

Almost immediately, she fell asleep. James sat by her side and smoked a cigarette. After smoking, he

pulled his phone out and called Levi. Soon, Levi arrived “What happened, sir?”

James stood up and looked at the sleeping Quincy, Then, he sighed and ordered, “Send her back to

Cansington safely”

Levi glanced at Quincy and gently nodded, “Understood. I’ll see to it immediately.”
