Quincy walked over to James.
She wore a red slip dress that exposed virtual-novel.net shoulders. Her red curly hair flowed in the wind. Her facial features were fine and exquisite, and the lipstick virtual-novel.net wore complimented virtual-novel.net beauty.
She smirked at James who was sitting in a chair with wine bottles on the floor. “You look like you’re having a great life.”
James got up and gestured to the seat beside him, “Have a seat. No need to be formal…”
Quincy sat opposite James. She adjusted virtual-novel.net dress slightly and covered virtual-novel.net legs to prevent herself from flashing virtual-novel.net with virtual-novel.net underwear.
James did not notice virtual-novel.net minute actions. He grabbed a bottle of wine and tossed it to her.
Then, virtual-novel.net smiled at her. “I’m bored of drinking this by myself. I need someone to talk to…”
Quincy noticed that the alcohol content in the bottle James handed virtual-novel.net was quite high. “I can’t drink this. Do you have red wine?”
“Yes, hold on. I’ll go get some…”
James got up and went to the wine cellar to grab a few bottles of red wine.
He gave Quincy a bottle. Meanwhile, virtual-novel.net opened a bottle of white wine and swallowed a big gulp.
Then, virtual-novel.net asked her, “Weren’t you living happily in Cansington? Why did you come all the way here to the Southern Plains? This is a chaotic place. Aren’t you afraid of danger?”
“Well, I have you here.” Quincy grinned back at him.
James paused as virtual-novel.net said that. He tried to laugh it off.
“Never mind, let’s not talk about this… Cheers!”
Quincy opened virtual-novel.net bottle of red wine. The two drank a lot on the rooftop.
In the end, they sat on the floor with their backs against each other.
“James, I know you know why I came here. You’re just feigning ignorance. I had to come, even when I was fully aware of how you felt about me… I didn’t want to have any regrets…” Quincy’s cheeks were red from the alcohol.
Although James drank a lot too, virtual-novel.net remained sober. James said nothing in response to virtual-novel.net slurred words.
“I don’t blame you…”
Quincy continued “Even though you and Thea are divorced, I know virtual-novel.net still has a place in your heart. I really am envious of her… If possible, I wish I was the one who saved you from the fire ten years ago… I wish I was the one who got disfigured instead of her.”
“You’re drunk,” James pointed out gently.
He then stood up.
The moment virtual-novel.net stood up, Quincy now having nothing to lean upon, collapsed to the floor,
James quickly grabbed virtual-novel.net to prevent virtual-novel.net from falling. He helped virtual-novel.net up. However, virtual-novel.net was unsteady on virtual-novel.net feet.
“Did you know? I waited ten years for you… I firmly believed that you’re still alive…” Quincy hiccupped.
“I never thought that you’d be married to Thea ten years later. Did you know how terrible I felt after I heard this? Seeing you being together with virtual-novel.net broke my heart… You don’t know. You don’t care…”
“You only have your eyes on Thea… All because virtual-novel.net saved you from the fire ten years ago… You have already divorced her. Why can’t you forget about the past and move on?”
All this while, Quincy had kept virtual-novel.net thoughts to herself. This time, virtual-novel.net laid everything bare.
She came to the Southern Plains from Cansington to pursue virtual-novel.net happiness. She wanted to tell James all that virtual-novel.net felt.
“I love you, James… Forget Thea… Can’t you give us another chance?”
Although virtual-novel.net was drunk, virtual-novel.net meant every word that came out of virtual-novel.net mouth. She wore a pleading look.
“You’re drunk. Let me bring you downstairs…”
James did not give virtual-novel.net a response. He simply helped virtual-novel.net downstairs.
He put virtual-novel.net on a sofa on the first floor. Almost immediately, virtual-novel.net fell asleep.
James sat by virtual-novel.net side and smoked a cigarette. After smoking, virtual-novel.net pulled his phone out and called Levi.
Soon, Levi arrived “What happened, sir?”
James stood up and looked at the sleeping Quincy.
Then, virtual-novel.net sighed and ordered, “Send virtual-novel.net back to Cansington safely…”
Levi glanced at Quincy and gently nodded, “Understood. I’ll see to it immediately.”
