Renewal Of Love novel Chapter 44

"Nothing. I'm just asking." Roy knew a little about what was going on, but he also knew Kevin's temper. As long as Kevin didn't go along with what other people said, nothing else mattered.

Kevin looked at him coldly. "I actually believe she has something to do with it."

He was convinced that Anne was capable of anything. He had planned to give her a chance to redeem herself but she even screwed that up. He was so disappointed with her.

Roy raised his eyebrows and nodded.

Well, he really didn't need to say anything now. Kevin was stubborn. It was useless to try and convince him.

"Would you like to go out for drinks?"

Kevin replied calmly, "Whatever. Where?"

"'Saints' Bar? Coming?" Roy stood up. "Sure. Eight o'clock okay?"

Kevin showed up on time. Roy knew Kevin didn't like noisy and crowded places, so he booked a private room.

At the same time, Roy also invited some of their buddies along. The more the merrier.

When Kevin entered the room, the room fell silent. All eyes were on him.

They had no choice. He was the main guy, the whole reason for this outing. If he hadn't come, no one else wanted to be "it."

"Kevin's here!"

The guests cheered and shouted as all the tension drained from the room.

Kevin sat down next to Roy. Roy opened a bottle of beer and pushed it along the table until it sat in front of Kevin. "Want a drink?"

"Actually, I'm not in the mood for beer. Get me a bottle of champagne. Moet & Chandon, if you have it."

Kevin had a discerning palate. He didn't always like beer, and only drank champagne on special occasions.

Roy nodded and snapped his fingers. A waiter immediately came forward and poured around for the guests.

The golden liquid slowly rose in the transparent goblets. The bubbles popped one by one until Kevin emptied the glass.

"That was fast! What's the rush?"

Unlike other bars, "Saints" Bar was exclusive to high-end people. The service was top notch from start to finish. The vibe was fantastic, and the aroma of alcohol reached every nostril. The music played at just the right volume. Some people could be put off by the long lines, but these esteemed guests did not need to wait at all.

The lighting was never harsh, so anyone wanting to dance could do so whenever they wanted.

The room was big enough to hold a party of ten celebrities, and often did. Celebrities loved going there to rub elbows with other elites. But that night, only five people were invited, including Roy himself and Kevin, five in total.

"Aren't we here to drink?"

Kevin didn't want to talk a lot. He just wanted to drown his sorrows. He was restless and out of sorts, and a few rounds were just what he needed to calm down.

"Worried about my sister-in-law?"

Roy knew that Kevin must be bothered by this, or this normally calm man wouldn't have drunk so much. It had been many years since they'd seen each other, but Roy had never seen him drink so hard.

"Do me a favor, and don't bring her up again, okay?" He wasn't worried, but rather cursing her name right now. He hated her for letting him down again and again. He had tried to be patient, to take things as they came, but she was so impatient. She disappointed him again and again.

Roy nodded. "I know, I know. Don't talk about her. Fine. Bottom's up!"

After drinking one glass after another, Kevin couldn't drink any more. At that moment, Roy knew it was time to call Kevin's girlfriend.

By the time Cherry arrived, there were only two people left, Roy and Kevin.

Seeing Cherry, Roy immediately raised his head and said, "Now that you're here, I'll leave him to you."

Roy had put away more than a few drinks, but compared to Kevin, he was still the sober one.

Because Kevin was completely hammered.

As soon as Roy called her, Cherry rushed over.

"Why would he drink like this?" She had originally planned to go to the hospital to check on Ruth. The last time she checked, Ruth was still in a coma.

She sat beside Kevin, trying to help him up. But he seemed to be so drunk that he couldn't even keep his feet.

"Something's bugging him, which is why he drank so much. I'm headed out. Have fun!"

Roy waved at Cherry and staggered out the door.

Cherry frowned. She took a long look at Kevin, and she felt bitter inside.

Kevin had never been this liquored up before. Something must have happened. Was it because of Anne?

"What's wrong with you?" Cherry draped one of Kevin's arms around her shoulders. It took all her strength to support him. "Why did you drink so much?"

"Oh, there you are!" Struggling to straighten up, Kevin stared at the woman in front of him and frowned. "Why are you here? Did Roy invite you? Where is he?"

At least he still recognized her. That was promising. "Roy left," Cherry sighed. "I told you he was a bad influence on you. You're a mess, Kevin. What did he do to you?"

Then Cherry moved forward, trying to help him out the door, but he didn't want to go anywhere.

"Come on. Let's go home."

"No. I'm not drunk enough."
