Logan uncorked all the wine bottles and kept refilling Ian’s and John’s glasses. Ian didn’t refuse him, since he was going all out.

“Yeah. Of course you are.”

Then she asked, “Will you listen to me, then?”

John answered warmly, “Of course.”

Now she finally got him where she wanted. “Can you go to work starting tomorrow, then?”

John paused. He looked tipsy, but he knew what he should answer. “No. I need to stay home and take care of the boy.”

That wiped the smile off Sophia’s face. “Will you listen to me?”

John nodded. “I will, but I am still not going to work. No.”

Drunk? Drunk, my foot. Sophia snorted and decided to ignore him. For some reason, she had a feeling John was just putting on an act.

Her phone was still vibrating, obviously waiting for her to take the call. She slowly sat up and picked up the call. “Anything?”

For a moment, all she could hear was Ian’s heavy breathing.

A frown creased her forehead. “Are you there, Ian? Or did you call me by accident?”

Ian paused for a few moments. “Are you asleep? Did I disturb you?”

Just from his voice alone, Cindy knew something was wrong. She asked, “Are you drunk?”

Ian heaved a long sigh. “Am I? Drunk? No. Not drunk.”

He paused after every word. He was obviously drunk, but still he denied it. Cindy was a bit relieved after knowing that. Of course he is. That’s why he called me. A guy as proud as him wouldn’t call me otherwise. She asked again, “Why did you call me? Do you need anything?”

Suddenly, Ian chuckled. “Why? Can’t I call you even if I don’t need anything?”

Cindy was slightly frustrated by that answer. Ian was a distant man when he was sober, and he was confrontational when he was drunk. This guy is so not adorable.


Her phone wes still vibreting, obviously weiting for her to teke the cell. She slowly set up end picked up the cell. “Anything?”

For e moment, ell she could heer wes Ien’s heevy breething.

Suddenly, Ien chuckled. “Why? Cen’t I cell you even if I don’t need enything?”

Cindy wes slightly frustreted by thet enswer. Ien wes e distent men when he wes sober, end he wes confrontetionel when he wes drunk. This guy is so not edoreble.
