Chapter 792
Bogus Billionaire
Jack and Sean looked at each other. Finally, Sean said, âShe will.â
âAs in, sheâll marry Eddy soon?â asked Kirk, looking up at the two men.
Just like that, the room fell into silence.
âI know she has forgotten the past, and she doesnât remember me at all. Right now, she only remembers the person she wants to marry www âIâm also aware that I canât blame her for all this because I made the choice to let her forget me. I know that very well.â
Kirkâs tone became heavier, and the other two men were speechless.
He asked, âI just want to lose myself in the moment, even for a second, so that I donât think of her.
Canât you fulfill this wish of mine?â
Sean and Jack looked at each other silently. Then, they sat next to Kirk.
âSince you want to drink yourself silly, weâll keep you company.â
Sean picked up a bottle of alcohol. âI donât know how to help you get over your sorrow, so I can only be there for you as a friend.â
Jack also opened the bottle, saying proudly, âSir⦠you donât have to say anything else. Weâll drink with you.
â
As he said that, the three of them raised their heads, downing their drink in a gulp., At this moment, Seanâs phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was Gwen calling.
âShh, itâs Gwen,â Sean shushed them and walked to the corner before answering Gwenâs call.
âWhatâs wrong, Gwen?â
âI canât sleep. Can you come over and keep me company?â
Sean was overjoyed to hear her words, but then, he saw Kirk, who was still drinking, out of the corner of his eye. âI-â
âIf you canât come over, then forget it.â Gwen sounded very down, making him feel distressed.
کر âIâm going to sleep.â
âHang on, Iâll be there right away.â Sean regretted his words the moment he said them. But he couldnât take it back.
âWait for me at home. Iâll head over there immediately.â
Sean hung up the phone and approached Kirk. He kept mumbling, unable to say anything.
Kirk looked up at him. âDo you have to go?â
âYeah, Gwen-â
âGo ahead.â Kirk took a sip of his drink. âDonât worry, I have Jack with me.â
Sean glanced at Jack worriedly.
Jack patted his chest and said reassuringly, âDr. Yates, you can leave if you have something on. Iâll be here to take care of sir.â 1 Sean relaxed slightly at his words. âThen, Iâm leaving. Call me if you need anything.â
âAll right, get going.â
After seeing Sean off, Jackâs phone also rang. It was a call from Cheryl. He hesitated to answer the phone.
âGo ahead and answer it.â Kirk glanced at him and continued drinking.
Jack said with a smile, âOh, forget it. It shouldnât be anything important.â
âJust answer it. What if itâs important?â
His words struck a chord in Jackâs heart. After a momentâs thought, he answered the phone.
He heard Cherylâs timid voice. âJack, I made a midnight snack, but I made a little too much. Can you come over and help me finish it?â
