Sara, well past her own limits, slurred in surprised recognition. "Gon... Gonzalez!"
Adrian immediately bristled, stepping forward with a deep scowl. "What are you doing here?"
Gonzalez ignored him completely. His intense gaze remained entirely focused on Norah. "Can you stand?"
Her cheeks were flushed a deep crimson, and her lips were glistening with beer. Staring up at him in a daze, she mumbled softly, "Gonzalez!"
A wave of overwhelming tenderness crashed through him. "We're going home," he said, his voice dropping an octave.
Norah just offered him a goofy, lopsided smile.
That single smile melted away every ounce of his residual anger. Plucking the bottle from her grip, he wrapped an arm around her waist and hoisted her up.
Half her weight sagged against his chest, but she didn't fight him, willingly letting him guide her toward the exit.
Seeing them together sent a violent surge of jealousy through Adrian. He stepped directly into Gonzalez's path, his eyes burning with rage. "Where do you think you're taking her?"
Gonzalez's expression hardened into pure ice. "Move."
Adrian sneered. "You caused her so much pain, and now you just waltz back into her life under a fake identity? Do you think the past is just erased? If she remembered who you really were, she would despise you!"
Fueled by liquid courage, Adrian unleashed every ounce of his pent-up resentment. "Taking advantage of a woman who lost her memory just to crawl back into her bed—you're pathetic, and I completely despise you!"
Hearing the raised voices, Norah winced, her head throbbing. She stared blankly at Adrian's furious face, utterly confused by the shouting.
Gonzalez didn't waste a single word justifying himself. Maintaining a gentle but unbreakable hold on Norah's shoulder, he stepped around the younger man.
"Norah, don't go with him!" Adrian lunged, grabbing Norah's arm. "Stay away from him!"
That was the absolute limit of Gonzalez's patience. The second Adrian's fingers closed around Norah, Gonzalez ripped his arm free and drove a brutal punch straight into Adrian's jaw.
The force of the blow sent Adrian stumbling backward.

Dear author Lucy, may we please have updates. Thank you....
There's a song currently playing via YouTube and TikToc by LowDii "Touch Me Softly" that makes me think of Norah and Xavier (Gonzalez). Please, I'm looking forward to updates. Thank you for your writing....
May we please have updates. Thank you....
As the plot thicken. Adrian is done for and he can't try to control Norah, so he'd probably tattle to Janice who's gone for two weeks. Thank you soooo much for the updates....
These updates were too funny. Thank you so much for the updates....
I forgot to add Amy to the group of pregnant women,since she was the first. Emily and Sylvia better be careful since pregnancy is in the air....
Wow! This is great, both Estelle and Magdalen are pregnant at the same time and I hope that Xavier is Norah neighbor. Thank you for the updates....
