Chapter 1574
The narrow staircase of their quaint townhouse was not the easiest to navigate, especially with a drunken load like Jeo on Steven's back. It was quite the workout.
Pandora followed closely behind, lending a supporting hand. "Just get him to the bed, Steven," she instructed.
Steven slowly half-crouched, placing Jeo on the bed.
Pandora flashed him an apologetic smile. “Sorry to trouble you, Steven."b2 Steven shook his head. "No trouble. How about I stay here with him? You can go downstairs and spend some time with Hannah and her brother.
Pandora frowned. "You've done enough, Steven. You should go downstairs, keep Hannah company, and have some more food. I can stay with him"
“Are you sure?” Steven asked, concern lacing his voice.
“I’ve taken care of him for years, it'll be fine," Pandora assured him.
Steven nodded, "Alright, I'll go then."
Pandora watched him leave. Once he was out of sight, she quickly shut the door. "He's gone, Jeo"
The supposedly drunk Jeo sat up abruptly, shaking off his pretend stupor.
"Steven didn't suspect anything, did he?"
"You've been calling him ‘bro’ all night. Even if he were smarter, he wouldn't suspect you were faking,’ Pandora pointed out.
Jeo considered this. "I feel he's quite sincere. Doesn't seem like an act to me.
“Indeed, he is,’ Pandora agreed. “But Hannah seems reluctant to forgive him.
It's Hannah who was hurt, and nearly lost her life. We have no right to make decisions for her. We can only help up to this point."
Jeo sighed. "We concocted this plan to give him and Hannah some private time. But what about Farley? The kid's not the brightest. Will he mess things up?"
“Just wait, Pandora replied.
