Chapter 402 Drunk


    Especially those women.


    If they have nothing to do for a day, all they care about is other people’s drama.


    Ethan rxed a little, but he was still frowning. “Then how do you exin the kid?”


    Uh-oh.


    At that, Alex fell silent.

    After a while, he looked up, unsure, and tugged at the corner of his mouth. “Ethan, is there a chance… that the kid might be yours?”


    Ethan fell silent.


    The light hit his face, leaving half of it in shadow.


    Seeing his silence, Alex continued his seemingly logical analysis“, a look, even if it is Dawn’s child with


    someone else, do you care? You don’t. People say no rtionship is unbreakable, and if anyone can pull it off, Ethan, it’s definitely you.”


    Ethan’s cold eyes fixed on him. He still said nothing.


    His nk face was honestly kind of scary.


    Especially since Alex had seen his ruthless side, this silence felt like the calm before a storm.


    “Ahem… I think my take is pretty reasonable,” Alex said, lowering his voice and trying to sound convincing “Anyway, if it were the woman I loved, my only line would be changing myst name to match her kid’s.”


    Ethan remained silent.


    But suddenly, there was a nking sound.


    He mmed the ss down on the table. A little bit of the wine sshed out, but he didn’t even notice. He grabbed the bottle next to him and filled the ss again.


    Alex shrank his neck. “Um, should I keep talking?”


    “Yes.”


    Alex was about to open his mouth when Ethan hoarsely added, “Forget it.”


    “Huh?”


    “Just drink.”


    The alcohol burned going down, but it helped numb everything. Over the past three years, Ethan had learned one thing most clearly–alcohol was a good thing.

    Chapter 102 Drink


    Alex stared at Ethan’s face for a long time, but couldn’t figure anything out.

    Drinking buddy time.


    As much as he hated to admit it, there were two guys in their group who were impossible to figure out Ethan and Jonathan. They tied for first ce.


    Thinking about that man made Alex shiver.


    “By the way, has Jonathan contacted you?”


    After Dawn’s death was confirmed, Jonathan shifted his focus back to his overseas work and became even more distant than before.


    If anyone was still close to him, it was only Ethan.


    After a few sses, Ethan’s slightly red eyes showed he was starting to get tipsy.


    He rubbed the ss for a moment before quietly saying, “No.”


    “Yeah, makes sense,” Alex said, nodding to himself. “You hardly even reach out to us anymore, so not contacting him is pretty normal.”


    Two men drinking together could only go so far. Once the conversation ended, they just drank.


    In less than an hour, Ethan’s eyes were already hazy.


    Alex was even worse. Aftering back from the restroom, he threw his arm around some guy with a big beer belly and started acting like they were old buddies. “Listen, no matter how you treat me, your ce in my heart has never changed. Never!”


    Ethan watched in silence.


    Then, he pressed his throbbing forehead and stood up.


    He pulled Alex off the poor guy and headed outside, calling Alex’s driver as he walked. He exined the situation and waited at the bar entrance.


    Alex clung to him. “Did you get a girlfriend and just ditch your bro? Answer me!”


    Ethan ignored him.


    He lost his patience and let go.


    Drunk Alex fell straight to the ground. He looked up, dazed.


    The driver finally arrived and rushed over to help him.


    “Don’t touch me!”

    The driver was startled.


    Alex stuck out an arm to stop him, then struggled to stand up


    his own, and stared at Ethan.


    The look Alex gave him was the same look someone gives a cheating ex. “I know you just want to get rid of me so you can go find her. Fine! Go! See if she chooses her husband or you!”


    A brief, stunned silence hung between them.


    There were many peopleing and going. His words instantly made people stare<i>, </i>


    They all stopped and stared wide–eyed, waiting to hear what other explosive gossip might spill out.


    A vein throbbed on Ethan’s forehead. He looked coldly at the driver. “Get him out of here<i>. </i>Now


    The driver flinched, quickly helped Alex into the car, and drove away.


    But Alex was right.


    Ethan was going to find that woman and clear up everything!


    Time passed. He finally arrived at the hotel.


    He waited a long time before Dawn came back.


    He wasn’t fully sober yet, but he could think straight. The moment Ethan heard her familiar footsteps, his heart froze for a couple of seconds.


    Dawn could feel his pounding heartbeat and forgot to pull away for a moment.


    In the dark, his eyes looked sharp and intense. The faint light from outside caught in his pupils, and at first nce, it almost looked blood–red.
