Why do I blush so easily these days? What’s going on?
Carmen patted her cheeks.
Bailey hadn’t drank this much in many years but he had no other choice.
If I can’t convince Cooper, it’ll definitely be difficult for Carmen and I to be together. I’m not like Michael and I won’t back down. I must face Cooper directly!
He smiled but he suddenly staggered. After all, he had drunk a lot.
“Oh my! Bailey, I’ll send you back home,” Carmen murmured as she quickly supported him.
Bailey couldn’t seem to talk any more, so she was even more determined to bring him back.
Besides, his house was only a road away so she would reach there in no time.
There weren’t many people in Bailey’s house; there was only a butler, a cook and a maid who did the cleaning of the house.
Since Bailey was still conscious, he could still walk. When Carmen arrived at the door, she could see the maid coming out to help him in. With that, she had done her job so she was preparing to return home but surprisingly, the maid seemed to have already recognized her. “Miss Carmen, you should come in and have a seat!” she said enthusiastically.
“You know me?” She was shocked.
The maid looked like a local and she was really friendly. “Of course I do. I’ve been here for many years, so I definitely know you.”
Carmen felt confused as she scratched her head, but she still entered as she was curious to see how Bailey’s house looked.
Bailey’s house was a single villa with seven to eight guest rooms and three floors. The first floor was for the guests, the second floor for the guest rooms, and the third floor was his personal living area. The moment she came in, she could see a robot busy sweeping the floor.
The decorations for the entire house were simple and cold, just like Bailey’s personality. It was so monotonous that there was almost nothing matched with each other. Also, there were very few pieces of furniture, to a point where one could almost describe the place as ‘the lesser the better’. It was designed so simply that no extra items were left.
The decorations were completely different from Carmen’s house. As they had many pets and children in the house, it needed to be warm and comforting.
One could probably guess the family’s atmosphere just by looking at the decorations.
Her house was warm and lively. After Michael was put into cryogenic sleep, Sophia needed to be strong all the time by playing the roles of both father and mother so that the children would never feel lacking in life since losing their father. Therefore, the house was decorated to be warm because she considered every aspect for her children.
As for Bailey’s house, it was cold and simple.
Meanwhile, Bailey had completely used up his willpower at Carmen’s house. Although he was a good drinker, he still couldn’t stand the challenge of so many people from her family but he refused to let them underestimate him. Now that he came back home, he was completely drunk so he was starting to stagger. Luckily, the maid was there to support him.
However, it was difficult for the maid to support him alone, so Carmen quickly went over to help. And so, the two of them supported him onto his private elevator and went up to the third floor before entering his bedroom.
His bedroom fit perfectly with the decorations of the entire house; the place was decorated with a cold color scheme of black and white, resembling the minimalist yet luxurious style of Northern Europe.
Bailey couldn’t speak ever since he came home and the moment he entered his room, he immediately slept on his bed.
After placing him on his bed, the maid murmured, “I’ll go make some broth. Can you please help me take care of Mr. Bailey for a while? I’ll be back soon.”
Carmen nodded as she watched the maid walk out the room hurriedly. Looking at Bailey on the bed, he seemed to be sleeping soundly and his long eyelashes casted two tiny shadows on his cheeks.
When he was asleep, he lacked his usual aggressive aura. Instead, he looked more like a sleeping elf with soft facial features that had an indescribable beauty.
