Andrea’s panicked look as she left, Quinn holding her hand, and her father’s words “She is your sister” felt like countless steel needles piercing into my heart.
“What, is it because of Andrea again this time?”
Leonard picked up a cigar with his long fingers and took a puff. With smoke swirling around, he squinted his eyes and studied his friend’s pale face.
“Their marriage was almost over, if you keep drinking like this, be careful not to ruin yourself. You’re almost thirty, not young anymore.”
Roderick stayed silent and took another sip of his drink.
Leonard chuckled at the sight, then reached out and pinched the girl’s waist.
“Baby, who’s the best at coaxing people here?”
The girl giggled and snuggled into his arms.
“Of course it’s our Casey, beautiful and thoughtful as always.”
“Call her over.
Leonard raised his chin and turned to look at Roderick.
“Did you hear that? I’ll introduce you to a top sweetheart, guaranteed to make you forget all your troubles…”
Before long, a gust of fragrant wind blew over.

Casey, wearing a deep V red fishtail skirt, strutted in on ten–centimeter stilettos.
Her bright red lips curved seductively, black lace wrapped around her neck, revealing glimpses of snow–white skin.
Casey giggled and half leaned on Roderick, accidentally bumping her chest against him.
“Hey handsome, why so sad? Let me keep you company, okay?”
Her slender fingers ran across Roderick’s tense jaw, the scent of perfume on her body strong and sweet.
“Do you like gentle or exciting? I have plenty of options for you…”
Before the words had even finished, Roderick suddenly slammed his glass on the low table.
The bottle shattered with a loud noise, and the wine mixed with glass shards splattered all over the floor.
The booth instantly fell silent, and the girl’s face turned pale with fright.
Leonard frowned and waved his hand, and Casey immediately backed off.
“What’s gotten into you?”
He kicked Roderick’s pants leg.
“I tried to help you have some fun, but you ended up scaring people away.”
Roderick hung his head, with bangs covering his eyes, and it took a while before he muttered,

“Don’t bother me.”
Leonard paused for a moment, then rolled his eyes at him.
“Do you think I enjoy meddling in your business? I’m just worried that you’ll get too involved. She’s already married, you have to think about yourself. People need to move forward.”
“Drank alcohol.”
Roderick interrupted him, opened a bottle of whiskey, and chugged it down.
The spicy liquid dripped down his mouth and into his collar, but he didn’t even notice, just kept pouring it down his throat.
Leonard looked at his red eyes and stubborn look, suddenly remembered when Andrea was bullied in college, Roderick stood up for her in a reckless manner.
At 2am, Leonard got up with his new date in his arms.
He patted Roderick on the shoulder.
“I’m leaving first, you need to watch your behavior, or else Lucian will have a talk with me.”
Roderick didn’t respond, just stared blankly at the empty bottle of wine.
In the distance came the sound of clinking glasses, mixed with women’s giggles, but it all seemed like it was through a layer of frosted glass, hazy and distant.
He reached out and opened another bottle of wine, the cold bottle pressing against his hot palm. In a daze, he heard Andrea’s voice.
Suddenly realized it was just an illusion, a strong desire swept through my whole body in an instant.
He trembled as he took out his phone, dialed that familiar number by
heart, his voice hoarse and with a hint of deliberate weakness.
