Nina is wasted. She could hardly stand on her own.
"If you ever dared to even look at my wife the wrong way, you are going to regret it" Theo fumed and pushed the man away.
Nina is swaying on her feet unsteadily. Theo walked towards her and lifted her in his arms with a displeased frown.
"You, let me go" Nina demanded and pointed her finger which is intended to poke at Theo, but she poked everywhere around him but not him.
"You are wasted. How much did you drink?" he muttered with a frown.
Nina giggled at his question.
"I drank this many" she showed how much by moving both her palms as far as she could.
Theo gritted his teeth.
"I can see that. May I know why?" he asked sarcastically.
Nina giggled again.
"We are celebrating her victory" Ella supplied helpfully.
Theo's frown deepened.
'Are they talking about me? Is she considering a victory not to contact me for a whole week?' he suspected.
"What kind of Victory miss?" Jeremiah asked curiously.
Ella looked at him with a bright smile.
"Well, she made her EX husband sweat" Ella giggled as if it was a joke. She stressed the word Ex, much to Jeremiah and Liam's amusement.
Theo became grumpy after he heard what Ella just said. She didn't literally mean it, and none of them understood what she was referring to.
"Then she should celebrate. He was not happy that his EX wife stopped texting him" Jeremiah supplied foolishly.
Ella giggled and Jeremiah joined her. Liam face palmed himself at their stupidity.
Theo is on the verge of losing his shit. While Nina is grinning proudly.
"You used to claim that you can't live without me. Now you look so happy after you signed the divorce. Look at you, celebrating your so-called victory over me" he muttered with displeasure.
Nina looked into his eyes deeply and pinched his cheek cheekily.
"I used to love you so much, Theo. But you broke my heart. You choose Her over me. I am deeply hurt because of you. Of course I should celebrate my victory. Now you live your life, I will live mine" she declared in her half drunk and half sober state.
He is stunned to hear the sadness in her voice. His guilt reared it's ugly head. He judged her based on other people's opinions, which he usually never do. But in her case, he did.
He sighed heavily and looked at his friends who are watching him as if he suddenly became an alien. He is feeling weird too. He ignored their curious gazes.
"I am taking Nina home. Liam, can you drop Miss Vincent home?" Theo asked Liam.
Liam looked at Ella with a heavy sigh. She is not in a position to go back home alone. So reluctantly he agreed.
"Alright"
