Adrian recalled how crazy he was after he got drunk that ti.
He put on a wig and grabbed Henry by the collar to get his attention and ask him if he was beautiful.
Rembering what had transpired before, Adrian felt the blood rush to his face.
Because of that, he didn't dare take a look at Henry out of humiliation.
A huge hand grabbed his wrist and a familiar voice said, "Co with ."
Henry dragged Adrian by his wrist and left the North Yard.
As soon as they reached the car, Henry opened the door and threw the absent-minded Adrian inside. Then he settled himself right next to him and rolled the car windows up.
It was dark in the car.
"Look, if you have anything to ask, then just ask , but I will only answer one question," Henry said, feeling his throat tightening with the tension between the two of them.
With Henry's break of silence, Adrian finally ca to his senses. He turned to Henry and asked, "Was it in the photo?"
Henry paused for a mont before answering, "Yes."
When Adrian heard that, his breath quickened. "Then, are you..."
Before he could complete his question, Henry interrupted him. "I said, you can only ask one question. Now, it's my turn to ask you. were you really drunk, or were you just pretending?"
Adrian's eyes went wide at the question. He looked away and did not dare look into Henry's eyes. He hesitated for a mont, before he answered, "Honestly, I'm not really sure, but I guess..."

ore, she suspected that her brother had said sothing to John.
Maybe Leon told John their parents' three conditions for Nina's husband.
Thinking about this made her want to ask about it, but she did not get the courage to.
After dinner, John excused himself and went to the study straight away. It was only when the clock struck eleven in the evening that he finally went to the bedroom.
After taking a relaxing shower, John crawled into bed and held Nina in his arms. In a soft voice, he said gently, "Good night."
Nina kissed the corner of John's mouth. It was not long before she felt her man's breathing went steady.
She stroke his hair gently and knew that John must be really exhausted.
Then, she quietly and slowly removed herself from John's arms. She took her phone out and sent a ssage to her brother.
Leon quickly replied and confird that he did tell John the conditions. This made Nina heave a deep sigh.
Then, she placed her phone back on the bedside table and crawled into John's arms. "Good night, honey," she said softly. She placed a hand on John's eyebrows and eyes as if trying to comfort him. Thinking about what Leon said made him feel sorry for John.
She heaved another deep breath as panic flashed through her mind again. Recently, she had always felt uneasy. She then hugged John tight in her arms before she finally let sleep take over.
That night, Nina had another strange dream.
In this dream, she lost John.
