Life at The Top novel Chapter 754

“Let’s go for a walk,” Celine said abruptly to Jasper when they had almost reached the hotel.

Jasper was startled but then realized his entire body smelled like booze. It was a good idea to get some air and clear his mind. Thus, he got Julian to pull the car over before he and Celine got out.

It was already past ten at night, but Waterhoof City was not the least bit deserted. You could still see lots of people making their way around.

As they strolled on the sidewalk, Celine turned and gazed somewhat drunkenly at Jasper as she said, “Why are you so far away from me? Are you scared I’ll eat you up?”

When Jasper, who had been standing behind Celine, heard that, he immediately walked up to Celine and stood next to her before saying, “Is this close enough for you?”

Celine did not say anything. She reached out, took hold of Jasper’s arm, and put her head on his shoulder. She said with a smile, “This is better.”

Then, she pointed to a couple standing by the road and said, “Look, they’re doing it like this.”

Jasper frowned slightly and tried to pull his arm away as he said, “Miss Maynard, you’re drunk.”

“I’m not drunk.” Celine tightened her hold on Jasper’s arm as she said dismissively, “I’m a woman, and I’m not scared. What are you scared about?”

“But you’re already married,” Jasper said.

Celine was stunned for a moment before she let go of Jasper’s arm and smiled meaningfully, saying, “Yes, I’m already married. I can’t be like this anymore. I would have forgotten if you hadn’t reminded me.”

Was this another woman in an unhappy marriage?

Jasper shook his head. He had no interest in the relationships of other married couples, nor did he plan to butt in.
