To a girl with such a massive ego as Alice, that had undoubtedly been a huge blow to her.
Gerald simply couldn’t ignore the fact that virtual-novel.net was truly the one at fault that time.
Shaking his head, virtual-novel.net then headed out to get the two bottles of red wine they had requested.
To his surprise, once both of them got their drinks and started downing the wine, Hillary told Gerald to help them pack their suitcases as well.
It was as though virtual-novel.net personally worked for them or something. Fortunately, Alice had other things on virtual-novel.net mind so virtual-novel.net eyes never really focused on him.
By the time virtual-novel.net was done packing everything for them, both bottles of red wine were now empty.
Though Alice was clearly tipsy at this point, virtual-novel.net still insisted on having more wine. Gerald had no choice but to heed virtual-novel.net orders.
Just as Gerald was finally prepared to leave, however, Alice started retching before flopping to the floor!
She had obviously drunk far too much, far too quickly. Hillary herself had already retired for the night by the end of the second bottle, and was now lying on virtual-novel.net bed, unconscious.
“Drink! I still want to drink!” said Alice between sobs.
Though virtual-novel.net really wanted to just leave already, Gerald simply couldn’t bear seeing Alice in such a state. As virtual-novel.net walked over to her, virtual-novel.net assured himself that virtual-novel.net was only lending virtual-novel.net a helping hand out of guilt, and not out of affection.
“After all, Alice would’ve been living a happy life now if it wasn’t for me…”
As virtual-novel.net lifted virtual-novel.net in his arms, Gerald then said, “Alright, that’s enough drinking for tonight… There’s still work to be done tomorrow, so rest early!”
Once virtual-novel.net was on virtual-novel.net bed, virtual-novel.net was about to blanket virtual-novel.net when Alice suddenly grabbed onto his wrist.
“G-Gerald…? Is that really you…?” asked Alice, virtual-novel.net eyes hazy and filled with tears as virtual-novel.net looked at him.
“…I’m afraid you’ve got the wrong person!” replied Gerald as virtual-novel.net immediately tried to pry virtual-novel.net fingers off.
“Y-you’re finally willing to see me again…! I have so many things to tell you… Don’t leave yet! Please, listen to me!” added Alice, virtual-novel.net grip surprisingly tight for a drunk person.
Gerald didn’t even know if virtual-novel.net was simply speaking nonsense at this point.
“I… I know that it’s impossible for both of us to ever get together again… Trust me that I’ve tried everything I could think of to forget about you… I’ve even tried starting a new relationship just to finally be able to let go… But no matter what I do, all I ever think about is still you! It’s improbable, but I… I just hope that you’ll one day change your mind…”
“I’m really not the casual kind of girl you see me as… You know, I’ve kept myself a virgin just so that both of us could still have a chance one day! Just… Please… Please give me another chance, Gerald!” said Alice, refusing to let go of him.
Upon hearing virtual-novel.net reasoning behind why virtual-novel.net remained a virgin, Gerald couldn’t help but feel slightly moved by virtual-novel.net conviction. However, virtual-novel.net remained adamant that virtual-novel.net didn’t like virtual-novel.net anymore.
