AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

After Diego tripped and ran away, he wandered aimlessly for a while. When he stopped, he found himself in front of a bar. He walked in and asked the bartender for a drink and downed it in one gulp.

– Another drink.

Just like that, he drank one drink after another. He didn’t know how much he had drunk until he was lying on the bar counter, completely drunk.

At that moment Jonas entered. Two lackeys followed him. He chose a seat at random and sat down before asking the bartender for a glass of brandy.

“Young Master Long, I haven’t seen you recently. Where did you go and have fun?

Jonas emptied the glass of brandy and did not answer.

One of the lackeys glanced at the bartender.

– Have fun my ass*! How can you not say that Young Master Long is in an incredibly unpleasant mood?

The bartender was very observant. Seeing the expression of Jonas and his lackey, he only poured them the drinks and said nothing more.

The lackey ordered a vodka and some Redbull. As he drank, he said to comfort Jonas:

-Young Master Long, don’t be depressed. There are many women in this world. If that doesn’t work, you can find another one.

“It’s true, Young Master Long. Tell us what kind of woman you like? We’ll find it even if we have to dig three feet underground!

Jonas swept his cold gaze over the duo, and the duo immediately fell silent. After ordering and downing another glass of brandy, he heard the drunk man next to him muttering to him.

– Roxy… Roxy… You are, you are supposed to be originally… my wife…

Jonas’ hand holding his glass froze. Then, his eyes darkened as he turned to look at the man next to him.

– Roxane… You are… my fiancee…

Diego continued to mutter to himself.

Seeing that Jonas was looking at the drunk next to him, one of the lackeys thought that he had been disturbed. He said with indignation:

-Where does this drunkard come from?

The lackey was about to stand up and grab Diego when Jonas placed his hand on the lackey’s shoulder, stopping him.

– Wait a minute.

-Young Master Long, what’s wrong?

Jonas didn’t respond. Instead, he nudged Diego, who was lying on the bar counter, and asked:

-Roxane Alvarez? Is it Roxane from the art department of M City University?

Diego was so drunk that he couldn’t even see the person in front of him clearly. He only vaguely heard the words “Roxane” before grabbing the other person’s collar and saying:

-Are you going to take it away from me too? I’m warning you, it’s my…

Jonas scoffed. He wasn’t upset that Diego grabbed his collar. Instead, he just smiled coldly.

‘So this is the person Roxane loves? How stupid is she to marry such a stupid loser?’

Jonas pushed Diego’s hand away before glancing at the two lackeys.

The duo immediately moved to take out the drunken Diego. As they left, they laughed.

-Brother, you are drunk. Let us send you home…

Jonas reached out to straighten his collar. Then he pulled out a stack of money and threw it on the bar counter before turning to leave.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

-Thank you, Young Master Long. Goodbye, said the bartender. After saving the money for the drinks, he kept the remaining money in his pocket.

The bartender shook his head as he thought of Diego being taken away. He thought Diego was really unlucky to have provoked Jonas.

…

In an alley without streetlights.

The alley was lit only by moonlight and city lights.

In the darkness where light could not reach, a man leaned against the wall. A red light could be seen between his fingers as wisps of white smoke rose from the red light.

To the side, two men continued to punch and kick, cursing under their breath.

-How dare you touch Young Master Long!

– Silly! It’s rare that Young Master Long wants to go out and have fun. How dare you ruin his mood?
