“Watch your mouth. As far as I’m concerned, Julian is close enough to be my brother while we are no closer than strangers.” Jasper turned to Terence who had a hand on his cheek and was currently being dragged into the room by Julian.
Terence clenched his jaw but did not speak anymore.
He knew that regardless of what happened today, he was screwed.
…
Ignoring their intentions and whether they were only doing this for their own benefits, Zayden and Sirius seemed to have come to an agreement.
That put Zayden in a great mood.
He had the Monty family’s support and the green light from his uncle.
The series of attacks he had diligently prepared for Jasper could begin tomorrow.
The uncle-nephew pair, who each had their own agendas, was in a great mood. They ended up drinking a substantial amount of alcohol.
Zayden was tipsy and intoxicated by the time they parted ways.
He was swaying as he opened the door to his apartment. Zayden kicked his shoes off and yawned as entered the house. Clouded by alcohol, he wondered if he should find a woman to spend the night with.
However, Zayden was stricken the moment he entered the house. He stared in disbelief at the sight of Jasper sitting lazily on the sofa.
Zayden felt his mind run haywire at the sight of Jasper.
He had never expected to see Jasper in his house!
He was stunned, surprised, and also a little terrified.
After combing through the complicated emotions in his mind, Zayden asked hoarsely, “What the f*ck?! Are you a human or a ghost?!”
After receiving such a shock, any sense of intoxication Zayden felt had now disappeared. However, his brain had yet to completely catch up to things.
