Chapter 888 At this moment, Theo wrapped his arms around my waist. His lips ccloser to my ear, and he said softly, "Don't worry about him. He'll sober up." I clicked my tongue. "Does this happen a lot to Zedd?" His slender fingers rested on the glass, which was brought to his mouth. His thin lips were pressed against the glass. It was such a seductive sight to behold.
After taking a sip of water, he said softly, "Not very often. Just occasionally." When he sawstaring at his lips in a daze, he raised his eyebrows. "Is there something on my face?" I cback to my senses and cleared my throat to cover up my embarrassment. "No." I moved my gaze away from the man's face and placed my hand on my heart. My heart was starting to beat faster.
The man must be a demon because he was able to makemuddle-headed.
Zedd was completely wasted after drinking two more glasses of wine. Theo reached out to nudge him.

"No, we'll just take him downstairs." Theo helped Zedd up from the sofa, and I followed them out of the private room.
When we stepped out of The Imperial Club, Zedd's driver got out of the car and took Zedd over. He thanked Theo, then drove him home.
Theo's car was parked in the parking lot. He looked atand said, "Wait inside the club for me. I'll go get the car." "I'll cwith you." I did not want to stay here all alone.
Theo, however, did not agree. He persuadedwith a frown, saying, "It's too cold out here. Be good and wait forhere. I'll be back really soon." Having said that, he summoned The Imperial Club's staff member to bringback into the club.
Unable to win an argument with this man, I had no choice but to wait for him in the club.
I was shocked to see Jerome. He was holding a woman in his arms amid all the feasting and revelry.
I could not help but frown. As far as I could remember, he had never dated any woman. He dated Xander after that and I automatically thought that he did not like girls. It was very surprising forto see him sitting s o close to a woman.
Jerwas equally surprised when he saw me.
He let go of the woman's waist and quickly walked up towith a wide grin on his face.
When he walked up to me, he asked with a smile, "Did you chere alone?" I shook my head. "Theo went to get the car from the parking lot." The woman cover as well and stood behind Jerome, looking atwith a hostile gaze.

I pursed my lips. "I haven't, of course.
But there are sthings that we as th can't control. Besides, Maison only brought him there for vacation, not for the Lynches to take him back."
Jersneered. "You're too simple-minded. Mason is a gentleman but that may not be the case with the rest of the Lynches. There are a lot of wolves and tigers around him. It's possible that Munchkin may never cback." The latter half of his words enraged me. "Why are you saying such things to me, Jerome?" I could not believe that Jerwould one day say such things to me.
"I'm just trying to warn you not to think so superficially about m everything. I don't mean anything else He held the hand of the woman beside him and continued, "I feel like we're growing apart, Wanda." X
