The

top floor’s treasure racks were far superior to those downstairs. These antiques required meticulous care as they were all genuine treasures and could be easily damaged if not handled properly. Unlike the downstairs collection, this Boor displayed authentic antiques with glass covers labeled with their names and history.

Yasumine and Yonas spent half the day at the top floor, finally deciding to buy an antique. Once outside, Yasmine looked at him with long moment, “Why are you helping me?”

“It’s not just about helping the Sanchez Family, it’s also in my own interest, Yonas replied, his gaze deep and solenn

Yasmine decided not to ask further, perhaps it had to do with interests. Although the White family and the Russell family have been family friends for generations, Yonas naturally wouldn’t want to see the White family surpass them. After dropping Yasmine off at home, Yonas headed back to his own residence.

Chuck spent the entire day at Paragon Hotel feeling restless, his mind repeatedly picturing Lucy. Even though he couldn’t remember what exactly happened that night at his place, he clearly recalled Lucy’s slightly tipsy yet captivating appearance.

“Chack, why are you daydreaming!” Yonas asked.

Chuck snapped back to reality, carefully placing the chicken oup at his side before handing it to Yonas, “Nothing, not thinking about anything.”

Vonas looked at him puzzled, he hadn’t asked anything yet! Right now, he didn’t have time to dwell on Chuck’s issues, his mind heavy with thoughts of Yasmine’s distant demeanor. Even though the situation at Anteque Curios & Relics had lessened her hostility somewhat, what he wanted was much more than that. He took the soup and left.

Chuck slumped into the seat, all energy drained from him. His mind had been wandering all day, maybe he was just too bored. After meeting Lucy, he couldn’t stop thinking about her; this feeling was new to him. In all those years he had never thought about someone so much that she occupied every comer of his mind.

Late at night, Chuck found himself at the bar once more, drinking away his thoughts. His friends were bouncing in the dance floor, flashing neon lights twisting everywhere. After a few drinks, Chuck was already staring to feel dizzy. “Chuck, it’s no fun drinking here alone. Why not join us for a dance! his friend’s called out.

Chuck poured himself another drink, “Nah, you guys go ahead.” Soon enough, he was slumped over, drunk, in his seat, mumbling Lucy’s name. His Friends, seeing him like this, felt a pang of concern.

Lucy, after finishing up at the factory, drove home. She had never really taken a good look at the Lynch Industries, nor had she ever contributed much to the family’s burdens. Her visit to the factory made her realize how much her father was shouldering on his own.

Dragging her weary body, she was about to open the door when she was stopped. “Ms. Lynch, could you wait a moment” an unfamiliar man blocked her way.

Lacy took a deep breath, the unpleasant memories relieved. “What it” she asked.

The man quickly replied, “Chuck’s drunk, and he keeps saying your name. Could you come with me to check on him?” Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“No Lucy rested, opening the door to leave. Just hearing Chuck’s name now filled her with dread. What happened that day wasn’t what she intended, and she was sure Chuck regretted it as much as she did. As she was about to step out, Chick stumbled in, grabbing her hand. “Lucy, don’t gor His cheeks were flushed, just like Lucy’s had been that day.

The smell of alcohol was all over him, and Lucy pushed him away in disgust. “Chuck, what are you doing here? Memories, like shattered fragments, rushed back at her, forcing her to recall everything she wished to forget, replaying like a scene right in front of her.

“Lucy, don’t leave Chuck’s head was pounding with each word.

His friend turned to Lacy and said. “Ms. Lynch, he’s yours to deal with” And with that they dashed off, leaving her behind.

Lucy stared in shock, “You guys. Just as she decided to leave, Chuck suddenly looped his arm through hers. She felt a wave over her as she pushed Chuck away What, what are you doing?”

“Who’s taking advantage here?” Lucy was furious, wishing she could push him to the ground. Wasn’t she the vicum in Chuck clung to her arm, refusing to let go, Lucy looked around nervously.

the door for him and sent him away. He had hoped that after everything at Anteque Curios & Relics, Yasmine’s attitude towards him might chang slightly. Clearly, it hadn’t.

He returned home, still feeling despondent about the chicken soup, only to find Chuck lying on the ground at his doorstep. With a frown, he helped Chuck up. “Chuck, wake up.” He could smell the strong scent of alcohol on Chuck and realized that he must be drunk Hut why would he end up here after getting drunk?

Chuck slowly opened his eyes, Yonas, you’re back?” He grabbed Yonas’s hand, getting up unsteadily, “Yonas, have a drink with me. Not satisfied with his current half–drunk state, he wanted his consciousness to blur so he wouldn’t think of Lucy anymore

Coincidentally. Yonas had also faced rejection at Yasmine’s place today, so he replied softly. “Alright.”

Late at night, the two men sat on the open–air couch, bottles scattered on the table. They didn’t even bother with glasses.

Yonas let out a bitter laugh and asked, “What’s up with you? Heartbroken?”

Chuck shred, even the hand holding the bottle trembled slightly. He laughed repeatedly, “Yonas! How could I possibly be heartbroken: Only nals get a broken.”

Vonas mok another sip, “Besides that. I can’t figure out what else could hurt you like this”

“What about you? You seern down today. Still having a spat with Ms. Sanchez Chuck slurred his words as he spoke

Yonas pressed his thin lips together in a proud, faint smile. “I don’t think we’re having a spar–she probably just doesn’t want to see me anymore. His eyes dimmed, showing a rare hint of exhaustion

The two kept drinking bottle after bottle. Although they started with beer, Chuck wasn’t satisfied with the alcohol level. He grabbed a bottle of red wine from Yonas’s wine cabinet. The dark red liquid poured into the wineglass, releasing a rich bittersweet aroma that filled the air

Red wine is meant to be savored, but all Chuck wanted was to get drunk. He downed it in one gulp, without tasting its flavor, feeling only the spicy bitterness as it went down. He coughed hard, and after a second glass, finally passed out on the couch. The wine glass slid from his hand and fell to the ground, luckily onto the grass.
