Sue, in a drunken stupor, belched while she spoke to Anthony,"How could Sheryl reject you just like this?"
"Sue, you better go back and sleep. Stop being a roaring drunk!" Anthony was already upset and he was about to pull Sue back.
However, Sue pushed him away with all her might and main.
"Anthony, you stay put!" Sue demanded. She then banged Sheryl's door again while shouting,"Sheryl, you better quickly open your door! Anthony deserves a proper explanation. Why are you mistreating him?"
Anthony feared that Sue's fury would disturb Shirley in the dead of night so he immediately pulled Sue away from the door.
Anthony found it difficult to drag Sue back to her room but fortunately, he made it. When they entered Sue's room, Anthony urged her to take a rest so she could recover from intoxication.
But to Anthony's surprise, Sue suddenly threw herself to his arms and spoke in a very womanish manner,"Why do you seem to worship Sheryl so much? What's in her?"
Anthony reflected Sue's question for a moment but ended up with no answer.
Actually, Anthony's love for Sheryl was driven by sensibility.
Sue continued to press Anthony for an answer,"Since Sheryl has already rejected you, why don't you just forget her and try to forge a new relationship? Find someone suitable for you.
Someone who loves you."
After she spoke, Sue vomited a lot.
Seeing Sue's miserable looks while vomiting, Anthony had no recourse but to prepare a cup of honey water to comfort her.
Anthony's gesture made Sue laugh foolishly. 'How could my beloved man take good care of me right now? Am I dreaming?' Sue pondered to herself.
Anthony helped Sue lean on the couch so she could drink the honey water. Anthony urged her to drink it all to help ease her discomfort.
After drinking the honey water, Anthony helped her lie down comfortably on the couch. Then he removed her shoes. Anthony couldn't help but complain,"Sue, you should behave what befits a decent girl. You shouldn't give your parents a reason to worry about you."
"My parents would be the last people to worry about me," Sue replied with a hint of sarcasm in her voice. "They value my younger brother more than me."
Anthony was sympathetic toward Sue. He didn't know she held some grudges over her parents, but her parents must be really hard on her.
