Chapter 888
Ryleigh didn’t know what to say.
“Hold on!’ Ryleigh finally understood. “Me getting a cousin-in-law… are you talking about Helios?”
“Who else?”
Ryleigh was shocked, but her eyes started sparkling. “My cousin and Barbara?”
The two of them stuck their heads out, their gossipy hearts burning.
Barbara and Helios stood at the end of the corridor, watching the night view far ahead.
“Why aren’t you with them? It should be quite lively downstairs.”
Barbara turned to look at Helios. His white suit was whiter than the moon in the night, still as clean and unblemished.
Helios looked back, put his arm on the railings, and then leaned in. He looked up, and the wind blew over his smooth hair. ‘ I’ll be asked to drink if I go down.”
He was just there to avoid drinking!
Barbara’s lips curled. “You should have quite a good alcohol tolerance.”
Helios looked at her. “Who told you that?”
She crossed her arms and smiled. “I’ve never seen you drunk.”
Helios loosened his tie and smiled back.” Would you believe me if I said I’m drunk now?”
Barbara looked at him, her eyes filled with doubt. “You seem quite sober.” He looked down and laughed. “Some people look sober but could be quite drunk.” His eyes were fixed on Barbara. “You are the total opposite when you’re drunk.”
Barbara froze, stared into his deep, dark eyes, then awkwardly looked away.” Really? I have no idea.”
