But it seemed that Ellen didn't take Mond's threat seriously.
But now that Mond had come to him, he couldn't tell him that he was scared.
He looked at Mond and said quietly, "I know you are very capable, but I am not a person to be trifled with. Now that Nancy has planned to divorce you, if you are a man, don't pester her anymore."
At first, Mond was furious about the intimacy between Ellen and Nancy. But now, Ellen was blatantly shouting at him, which made him unable to bear it anymore.
"Don't talk nonsense with me. It's not your turn to lecture me whether I'm a man or not. Don't forget that now that Nancy is my wife, you are just a third party. If I tell your glorious deeds to the public, do you think you have a future?"
Nancy didn't want the two of them to quarrel for her, so she quickly said to Ellen, "Let's go. Let's ignore this person. Whatever he says."
Ellen said indifferently, "If you can't keep your woman, don't blame it on others. If you cherish her enough, I can't take her away no matter what..."
Then he turned around and left, as if he didn't take Mond seriously, which made Mond angry.
Although his heart was full of anger, what Ellen said was reasonable.
The main reason was that now, instead of being on his side, Nancy was very close to Ellen, leaving him, her nominal husband, out of her reach...
Mond could do nothing but watch Ellen walk away side by side with Nancy.
He couldn't release his depression now, and he didn't want to see the two show off their love here. It was a big blow to him.
He went back to the car. He didn't know what to do at all. He just wanted to drink.
Charlie didn't dare to disobey Mond, he came to the restaurant with him. Mond ordered a lot of wine in one breath.
Seeing the expression on Mond's face, Charlie knew that he would get drunk again tonight.
He tried his best to persuade, "Mr. Mond, you can't drink like this. I know you are in a bad mood, but drinking can't solve the problem. You should find a way to win Mrs. Nancy's heart, instead of drowning your sorrows here."
At this time, Mond had drunk several glasses of wine in a row. He heard Charlie muttering and said impatiently, "Don't tell me this. In fact, I have done nothing wrong to her. Why did she do this to me?"
"Mr. Mond, we can't figure out a woman's heart. All you need to do is to get Mrs. Nancy back. Don't drink too much. You have drunk a lot now. Let me drive you back."
Charlie tried his best to persuade Mond, which made him furious. "What do you mean? Do I have to ask for your permission to drink? You'd better not provoke me, or I will be rude to you. I have suffered enough today, you still give me back my anger."
With a depressed face, Charlie said, "I don't dare. I'm just worried that you will be hurt by drinking too much. Besides, drinking won't solve the problem."
"Then what are you talking about? Why does Nancy like that man? Is he better than me? He's just a toy boy."
Hearing what Mond said, Charlie didn't dare to say anything more. He was afraid that if he said something wrong, Mond would get angry tomorrow. After all, it wasn't his turn to comment on the matter between the two of them.
Mond drank more and more. At last, Charlie couldn't stand it anymore and took off his bottle.
Mond widened his eyes and said in an unclear tone, "Don't stop me from drinking anymore. Don't I even have the right to drink now?"
