Archie glanced at Alfred carefully before lowering his voice. “She said Nella called the police and had her mom taken away.”

“What?”

Ryan was just as shocked. He dropped his voice even more. “Her mom broke the law?”

“Hard to say.”

Archie clicked his tongue. Thinking about how this involved Nella, he glanced again at Alfred, who was still drinking in silence.

“So, should we tell Alfred about this?”

“Tell him what?” Ryan shot Archie a look. “Things are already bad enough between Alfred and Nella. You want to make it worse?”

Then he added flatly, “You should wake up too. Don’t get so close to Zoey.”

“I didn’t do anything!”

Archie straightened his back and argued. “I’m only nice to Zoey because Alfred is nice to her. That’s all.”

Archie had admired Alfred since he was a kid.

To him, everything Alfred did was right.

So if Alfred treated Zoey well, of course Archie followed along.

It wasn’t really about Zoey. It was always about Alfred.

Archie felt very confident about this logic.

Because they were sitting nearby, Mason heard everything.

He lifted his eyes and gave them a long look.

They were both a little foolish, but sometimes foolish people said the most honest things.

Yes. Alfred and Nella’s marriage had fallen apart. Zoey was the trigger.

But in the end, Alfred himself was the real reason.

If Alfred had not allowed it, how could Zoey have caused so much trouble?

“If you ask me,” Mason said calmly, “you should stay away from Zoey. She’s not even as sincere as your Danielle.”

That set Archie off at once.

“What kind of tone is that? What do you mean ‘not as good as my babe? Is my babe that bad?”

Ryan rolled his eyes hard at his brother-in-law.

“You idiot. Are you blind? Don’t you see that Danielle only likes your money?”

Archie, who had looked so confident just a moment ago, instantly wilted.

But the next second, he straightened his back again.

“Then why does she want my money and not someone else’s?” he said stubbornly. “That means she cares about me.”

Ryan had no words. “Wow.”

From start to finish, Alfred didn’t say a single word. He just kept drinking.

When he had almost had enough, Mason finally stepped in.

“Stop drinking. If you pass out here, Nella still won’t see you.”

The name Nella seemed to flip a switch. Alfred’s dull, drunken eyes cleared for just a moment.

“She’s here? Where is she?”

He pushed himself up from the couch and looked around, but there was no sign of Nella.

“Liar.”

He laughed bitterly. “She wouldn’t come to see me.”

She hated him.

He grabbed the coat tossed in the corner of the couch and staggered toward the door.

“Alfred, slow down. We’ll take you home,” Archie said, stepping forward to help.

Alfred shook him off hard.

“No. No one touches me except my wife.”

All of them fell silent.

Watching him stumble out of the room, the three of them exchanged looks.

In the end, still worried, they followed him.
