Glancing at the time, it was already past two o’clock in the morning. 

Didn’t he get off work with Jessica? 

How did he end up going drinking with Tom and the others? According to Tom, Jessica wasn’t even there. 

I tried to call again, but his phone was already turned off. It had probably run out of battery. 

I had no choice but to get changed and head out. I t usual gathering place, a private club. 

When I arrived, most people had already dispersed. 

In the private room, only Tom and Jack remained.

There was Ryan, dressed in a designer suit, his long legs crossed, sleeping soundly on the couch. 

As soon as Tom saw me, he looked helpless. “Charlotte, I don’t know what’s gotten into Ryan today. He kept drinking with Jack, and we couldn’t stop him.” 

I could vaguely guess why. 

He still stubbornly believed that there was something between Jack and me. 

Perhaps all men were like this. They could do as they pleased, but would never tolerate even the slightest possibility of their wives betraying them. 

Even if this possibility was nothing but baseless suspicion. 

I apologized to Jack, who sat elegantly beside us. “Jack, are you okay? I brought some water. Do you want some?”

Jack regained some consciousness, looking up at me with flushed cheeks and bright eyes. He was like a primary school student waiting for candy.

Ryan furrowed his brows, irritatedly opened his eyes, and when he saw me, he suddenly smiled foolishly, “Honey.” 

As he spoke, he even grabbed my hand. 

His hands were dry and cold. 

Tom laughed even more foolishly, feeling quite proud of himself.” Charlotte, you see, it was a good thing I didn’t call Jessica. Otherwise, she would have been furious.” 

In the corner, Jack remained silent, his head was slightly lowered. 

I wanted to pull my hand away, but the drunken man had more stubbornness than when he was sober. I couldn’t move him at all. 

I had no choice but to let it be. 

After helping him into the car, I turned to deal with Jack, who drunk. 

As I sat in the car, the first thing I did was roll down the window.

I used to not mind the smell of alcohol, but today, I couldn’t help but feel nauseous smelling it. 

The roads were clear at this hour. 

I had been woken up in the middle of the night, and coupled with the events of the day, I was burning with anger. I suddenly stepped on the accelerator and brakes a few times.
