Chapter 67

Chapter 67:.

The man sitting next to him suddenly said, “Just take a sip.”

Everyone fell silent.

At that point, the president had spoken in person; what more could they say?

They had no choice but to nod. They no longer dared to tease Stella, but laughed and said, “Yes, yes, just a sip; one sip is enough! We were only joking.” In the end, as the man had spoken, they could say no more.

If they continued to make things difficult for Stella, it would mean going against RK, something they could not afford.

As a result, Stella picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

However, this wine was very strong!

He had just taken a sip, but his throat burned! It felt like it was burning.

Stella didn’t expect that champagne-colored, fruity-smelling liquid to be so pungent when she drank it. Fortunately, it was only a sip. If she had drunk the whole glass, she feared she would have gotten drunk on the spot.

When the man sitting next to her noticed her discomfort, he took the plate of fruit from the small table and put it in front of her.

He said quietly, “Eat a piece of fruit; it will make you feel better.”

“Ahhh!”

She didn’t know if this man really cared about her or not. Every time he treated her tenderly, she felt uncomfortable.

Like at the hospital, in front of her grandmother, at the company, and now, at this moment.... She didn’t know if it was intentional or not!

Then Stella thought for a moment and felt that maybe she was thinking too much. “Maybe she treats everyone like that and there’s nothing special about it.”

After eating a few sweet grapes, Stella temporarily eliminated the taste of alcohol from her mouth. But the truth was that she was not good at drinking.

1Ɫ∆ŦE$† ₡Ḥ∆₱†€₤S 1₦ gɑl푛οvєlѕ.сo퓂 For most people, a sip would be no big deal, nor would it get you drunk. However, for someone with a sensitive stomach, it was different.

Because of Stella’s bad stomach, she had never tasted alcohol since she was a child.

That’s why even a sip felt bad for him. “I’d better go home...” he muttered, feeling the effects of the alcohol.

Before getting drunk, Stella spoke first. Otherwise, if she really passed out, she wouldn’t know what would happen.

“I’ll take you.”

Without waiting for Stella’s response, RK stood up and grabbed his coat from the hanger. He said to everyone, “I’m leaving now.”

“So early?”

James looked at his watch. It was already two o’clock, but for people like them it wasn’t late. “The disco hasn’t perked up yet!”

Stella stopped the man who had removed her suit and said, “You don’t need to send me. I can go by myself. You should stay here longer.

Right now, if I could avoid spending one more second with this man, I would rather stay longer at the nightclub.

Someone overheard him and pulled James aside, saying, “The couple is going to have fun. Why are you interrupting them? Are you trying to break them up?”

Stella heard this and blushed – it seemed like everyone thought she was in a relationship with this man!

Outside the Starlight nightclub, although Stella wanted to go back alone, it was impossible. Therefore, she refused no more and got into the car with this man.

The two sat in the back seat of the car. There was no light inside, so the whole car seemed small and dark. Compared to the noise of the Starlight nightclub, the car was much quieter.

The quieter atmosphere and dim lighting made it easier to fall asleep, especially under the influence of alcohol. Stella fell asleep inside the car.... until the black Rolls Royce pulled up under her apartment building.

RK picked up the sleeping Stella and carried her upstairs. After many sleepless nights, Adrian had become accustomed to staying up late. That was something else: the next day he would catch up on the sleep he had lost during school.

“Uncle RK, why are you here?” asked Adrian, looking at Stella, who was being driven home, with a curious expression. But in the next second, he quickly understood that his disappointed Darling had fallen asleep during her date with Uncle.

Alas, when she had found out that Darling was with the guy, she had imagined the romantic scenes they would share. Instead, all his expectations were lost! For the sake of Darling’s love life, he was very worried!

“Yes,” RK had been to Stella’s once before. Now that he was here again, he was already familiar with the place. He led Stella straight to her bedroom.

The little boy followed RK happily, watching him carry Darling to bed. Suddenly, he remembered something from not long ago.

Tristan had also returned with Darling in his arms.

The little boy, being childish, said, “Darling’s romantic life is so rich! Every day, a different uncle brings Darling home.”

The atmosphere suddenly turned cold...

Adrian stood beside them, waiting to see RK tuck Darling in as Tristan had done, then turn off the lights and leave. However, after waiting a while, he didn’t see the man next to him take the next step.

What’s more, RK went so far as to ask, “Who else has returned Darling?” It was just a question, but when it came out of the man’s mouth, Adrian’s hair stood on end.

Adrian couldn’t help but shudder and looked innocently at RK....
