I Become A CEO After Divorce novel Chapter 1139

Chapter 1139: But I Just Want Her

Zane returned to the hotel and first escorted Anthony to his room. "You good on your own?"

Anthony lay on the bed and waved at Zane. "Go tend to your wife. Go be a family man."

Zane had been about to leave, but seeing Anthony's drunken state, he turned back and pulled him towards the center of the bed. "Call room service if you need anything."

Anthony muttered something, too slurred for Zane to make out. He just kept waving his hand at Zane.

Zane stood by the bed for a few seconds, then left without saying much. Though Anthony had consumed a fair amount of alcohol and seemed a bit drunk, his mind was relatively clear. He experienced moments when his actions felt a bit uncontrollable.

After Zane departed, Anthony fumbled to sit up, pausing for a while on the bed before reaching for his phone.

Hiruma had been coerced into blind dates by his family during this period and ended up tagging along with Anthony to Manchester City to escape. When Anthony called, Hiruma happened to be wandering aimlessly through the night market out of boredom.

Answering Anthony's call, Hiruma's voice came through, "Anthony?"

"Where are you?"

Hiruma could tell from Anthony's tone that he was definitely drinking. He quickly headed towards where he had parked. "I'm getting back now. Are you in the room?"

Anthony hummed in response. "Bring some hangover remedies. I drank a bit too much tonight."

Hiruma replied, "Sure, I'll be there in about half an hour. Should you rest for a while?"

"Yeah."

Anthony hung up and sat on the bed, scrolling through his phone for a bit. He found Sandy's chat, which was still at their last conversation when they made plans for dinner.

Since then, there had been no contact, no meeting, until today.

His finger rested on Sandy's profile picture, and he hesitated for a moment before tapping on it. The photo showed a picture of Sandy and Brandon together.

In that instant, Anthony gazed at Sandy's smiling face in the picture, feeling a twinge of shock.

And a bit of regret that he hadn't saved a copy of Sandy's photo.

He remained seated on the bed, staring at the clear image of the two in the photo for a long time before finally tapping the back button.

By the time Hiruma arrived, Anthony's drunkenness had subsided a bit.

"Why did you take so long?" Anthony opened the door for Hiruma and let him in.

Hiruma placed the things he'd bought on the table. "You mentioned wanting hangover remedies. I got some. Traffic was heavy on the way back, so I was delayed a bit."

Having finished speaking, Hiruma turned to Anthony. "How much did you drink?"

"Not much." Anthony slouched onto the sofa lazily. "I get drunk when I'm in a bad mood. Even a little makes me tipsy."

Hiruma didn't refute Anthony's explanation. He understood Anthony's mood wasn't good.

"Anthony, why bother?" Hiruma handed Anthony a cigarette. "Wherever you go, you..."

"But I just want her."

Hiruma's words were cut off as Anthony preemptively interrupted him, smoothly shifting the conversation. "The hangover remedy you bought?"

Hiruma nodded. "Yeah, do you need it now?"

Anthony hummed.

Hiruma got up to fetch a glass of water for Anthony, then opened the package and handed him the medicine. "Take this and get some rest. Be fresh for tomorrow."
