Chapter 0547
The familiar surroundings were filled with irony.
Why? Why had he said such things back then?

Looking back now, Hansel felt like he had been under some kind of spell. He had indulged his every whim and completely ignored her pain and despair at that time.
In just one year, Miranda returned to studying and embraced a new life, while he was still stuck in this very room. He couldn’t get out, nor did he want to.
Hansel gripped the wine glass so tightly that his knuckles turned white. Suddenly, he burst out laughing. The deep regret he felt now was comparable to how determined he had been in wanting to break up with
Miranda back then.
Seeing Hansel in this state, Calvin couldn’t help but sigh. Since it was useless to try and persuade him, he had no other choice.
“Alright, Hans. I’ll drink with you,” he said.
Hansel was drunk before long. Calvin drove him back to the mansion. Hansel’s eyes were closed throughout the journey, but he kept muttering, “Mimi… Mimi… Don’t leave me…”
Calvin felt bad for Hansel. He had watched Miranda and Hansel get together and come this far. How did their relationship end up like this?
He hesitated for a moment after helping Hansel to the bedroom. It didn’t feel right to leave Hansel alone
in this state.
After thinking for a while, he took out his phone and called a number, “Hi, Martha. Have you returned to the estate? Could you come over to the mansion right now?”
Martha was at a loss for words. She had just dozed off!
After half an hour, she showed up with dark circles under her eyes, looking quite annoyed.
Calvin had already smoked two cigarettes by the time she arrived. His eyes lit up when he saw her. “Oh, Martha! Thank goodness you’re here!”
Martha glanced at the bed and felt speechless. “Is he drunk again?”
Couldn’t he just stop getting himself drunk almost every day?
Calvin gave a light cough. “Well, you know… He’s in a bad mood, so he drank too much. I’ll leave him in your care, then.”
With that, he quickly made his escape.
Martha called after him, “Wait a minute!”
Calvin stopped in his tracks. “Huh?”
“There’s a trash can in the room.”
Calvin looked puzzled. “Yes, I know. Why?”

“Don’t toss your cigarette butts on the floor! Are you going to mop this place?”
An embarrassed look appeared on Calvin’s face. “I’ll be more careful next time…”
Hansel was completely passed out. After Calvin left, Martha tucked him in bed and muttered under her breath as she went to the kitchen to make some hangover remedy.
When she returned, she found Hansel had rolled off the bed and onto the floor. Martha’s face darkened.
With a long sigh of resignation, she placed the hangover remedy aside before dragging Hansel back to bed like a sack of potatoes. After that, she brought over the hangover remedy to feed it to him.
