The next second, Eliza was pulled into a familiar embrace. Beauâs embrace was extremely warm. She lay in his arms and smiled drunkenly. âItâs better in the dream.â She must be dreaming. If it wasnât a dream, why would Beau appear in front of her? Why would he hug her? He should be busy with his work now. He should be thinking about Chasity. How could it be possible⦠How could it be possible for him to come to her, an unimportant woman? Beau, who was holding her, sighed softly. He raised his head and looked at the people in the room. âEveryone, my wife is drunk.â âIâll take her away first.â After that, he held Eliza in his arms. When he was about to stand up, he was blocked by an arm.
It was Julian. He leaned against the door with a cold smile on his lips. âMr. Valentine, do you want to take her away just like this?â âIf not?â Beau held Eliza in his arms and swept his cold gaze across Julianâs face. âIt seems that I donât need Mr. Bentonâs permission to take my wife home.â âIf you and Eliza didnât quarrel, naturally you donât need my permission.â Julian picked up the goblet and took a sip of red wine with a faint smile on his lips. âBut now, your relationship is not good.â âEliza is drunk now. If I allow you to take her away, Iâm afraid she will throw a tantrum at me when she wakes up.â 2 He deliberately made the relationship between Eliza and him sound intimate. In fact, Eliza had never said anything about quarreling with Beau, nor would she be angry at him. Beau curled his lips. âOh?â âWhy do I not know that I had a fight with my wife?â In the room, the two tall men had a strong aura. Their tit-for-tat interaction made the atmosphere in the room oppressive. Gloria bit her lips and quickly walked overto be the peacemaker. âThat.â âMr. Benton, did Eliza and Mr. Valentine have a fight?â âDidnât she just call Mr.
Valentine on the balcony?â âIt didnât look like a quarrelâ¦â Julian curled his lips. âIf they didnât quarrel, why did Eliza not eat much and start drinking straight after she returned from the balcony?â âSheâs obviously not good at drinking, but after talking with Beau on the phone, she started drinking crazily. Isnât it obvious enough?â Gloria was stunned. It seemed⦠to make sense. She looked at Julian and then at Beau. For a moment, she did not know what to do. Even though Eliza was drunk, the oppressive atmosphere in the room still made her feel extremely uncomfortable. She pursed her lips and pulled away Beauâs hand. âI want to drink,â Gloria frowned and hurried to hold her.
The surrounding actors whispered and began to talk. âWhy did Mr. Benton stop her husband from taking her away? Even if they had a quarrel, Eliza and Mr. Valentine are still husband and wife. Is there anything more intimate than a married couple?â
âBut Mr. Bentonâs attitude is understandable. If your friend quarrels with her husband, will you allow her husband to take her away when she is drunk?â
The discussions of the crowd rose one after another. Gloria twisted her eyebrows and suddenly had an idea. âIf Eliza sobers up, she can make her own decision, canât she?â Her words made the whole room suddenly quiet down. Beau smiled faintly, âAll right.â After that, he looked coldly at Noah, who had been guarding the door. âPrepare some hangover soup and medicine.â Noah nodded respectfully and turned to leave. After he left, Beau looked up calmly at Julian. âMr. Benton.â âIf Eliza sobers up and proves that we are not quarreling, are you going to apologize for your obstructing of my actions?â Julian furrowed his brows but remained silent. âI donât want to sober up!â When the two men were at loggerheads, Eliza shook off Gloria who was supporting her, and sat down on the sofa. âDrinkâ¦â As she spoke, she looked at Beau in a daze. âMr. Valentine, come over and drink with me!â Then she glanced at Julian again. âYou come here, too!â âWe⦠wonât leave until we get drunk!â Gloria helplessly twisted her eyebrows. âEliza, you are drunk! Donât mess around!â Even if she was drunk, she could not just let these two men drink with her! âSounds good.â Julian curled his lips and sat down beside Eliza. Beau frowned and sat down on the other side of her. âLetâs⦠play Truth or Dare!â Eliza belched, and while pouring wine for the two men next to her, she said in a drunken voice, âDrink up! Julian narrowed his eyes. He directly picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it up.
Beau laughed coldly and picked up the glass to drink as well. One of the two men was cold and proud, while the other was graceful and elegant. The two individuals sat by Elizaâs side, one left and one right.
They kept drinking continuously, making everyone around them stupefied. Gloria quickly picked up her phone and secretly recorded the scene. O When she finished the first part and was ready to shoot the other part, the phone in her pocket rang This was Elizaâs phone. It dropped on the floor when she supported Eliza just now, so she put it in her pocket She wanted to give it back to Eliza when she returned to her room later, but she didnât expect it to ring in her pocket. Gloria picked up the phone. It was from Graciana. âWhere is Eliza?â Hearing Gloriaâs voice, Graciana frowned directly. âWho are you?â Gloria took a look at Eliza, who was still leaning on the sofa and watching the two men drinking, she hurriedly went to the balcony with her mobile phone in her hand. She gave Graciana a brief explanation of the current situation and even sent her a short video of Beau drinking with Julian, Graciana, ââ¦â âIâll be right there.â
Twenty minutes later. Noah arrived with the hangover soup and medicine, so as Graciana. The two men on the sofa had already drunk two bottles of red wine respectively. Surprisingly, their tolerance level for the alcohol was high. Ordinary people wouldnât be able to stay sober after drinking a bottle of wine. Not only were these two men not drunk, but they continued to compete with each other. Graciana glanced at Eliza, who was still drinking on the sofa, and quickly strode over. âEliza, Iâll take you back to your room.â
Eliza curled her lips and pulled Gracianaâs arm away. âNo!â âI want⦠I want to continue drinking!â Then, she picked up the bottle on the table and was about to drink it. Beau quickly snatched the bottle of wine.
Julian also hid the other drinks on the table, afraid that she would continue to snatch them. âStop drinking.â Graciana pursed her lips. âWhy are you so drunk?â Eliza chuckled. âIâm in a bad mood, I just want to drink!â Graciana sighed and held Elizaâs hand. âWhy are you in a bad mood?â Her best friendâs familiar warmth and tone cleared Elizaâs head a little. She looked up and stared at Gracianaâs face. Her aggrieved voice almost sounded like she was going to cry, âIâm in a bad mood.â âBeau doesnât like me.â
