    Chapter 577 Drown Out the Sadness


    Ethan got hauled into Club One.


    45 <b>Free </b><b>Coins </b>


    Alice showed up too, rocking a red dress that hugged her curves in all the right ces. Her ck curls fell over her shoulders, giving her that drop–dead gorgeous look.


    “So your wife ditched you, huh?”


    Ethan didn’t say a word.


    The air stalled for a beat.


    Alex kept ring at her, signaling her to shut it, but she just ignored him.


    Brogan didn’t say anything either. His eyes held this amused look, like an older brother watching his little sister stir up chaos.


    Ethan stayed quiet. Alice grabbed a bottle and two sses.


    She swayed her hips as she strutted over.


    She filled one ss for him. Then filled one for herself.


    “You should just date me instead,” she said. “I don’te with any crazy family drama. Way easier deal.”


    Ethan didn’t respond. His dark gaze lingered on her face for a second before dropping to the ss in his hand. He knocked it back in one go.


    “Not happening.”


    Alex stepped in and pulled her away.


    “What guy in Northville even has the guts to fight you? A full–grown lion would run for its life.”


    “Did you just call me a lioness?”


    “I didn’t say that.”


    “Alex, sounds like nobody’s put you in your ce for way too long. Let me fix that.”


    “Whoa, hey! Alice!”


    Their banter turned into shoving as they moved farther off, voices fading into the distance.


    Brogan chuckled as he took the seat next to Ethan.


    “Maybe Dawn just wants some quiet. Let her breathe. You should cool off a little too.”


    Ethan’s throat moved as he swallowed hard. His voice came out low. “Brogan. There’s no maybe this time.”

    Ethen sat up. His perfectly styled hair cast shadows over his face, softening the shup fees


    I don’t wanna know. Even if you find out, don’t tell me.”


    Brogan got the message. He gave a slow nod. “Alright. But don’t worry. Ilke sure son her. Just in case


    “Thanks”


    “No need to thank me. You’d do the same.”


    They tapped their sses together.


    Bragan took a sip. Then he remembered something. Jonathan’sing back soon, is he?


    After Dawn’s breakdown three years ago, Jonathan vanished without a trace. Nobody knee where he is gone or what he was doing.


    He was the kind of guy who lived in the shadows. Always a walking mystery


    Ethan frowned. “Then Alice…”


    Brogan let out a sigh and shook his head. “That mess between them? Way past its expiration date. None of us can stop in”


    Not long after, Alex and Alice came back.


    I’m taking her home. You two good?”


    “Calling a driver.<i>” </i>


    The two men were slouched on the couch in matching poses–legs stretched out, rxed hut their sucres couldn’t have been more different


    Brogan lifted his ss toward Alice, “We were just talking about you. Jonathan’s almost back. Any ns! Want the three of us to kidnap him for you?”


    He only got this chatty when he drank

    Alice’s eyes froze for a second, then she waved him off.


    “ns? What ns? That guy’s ancient history.”


    She smacked Alex’s back. “Youing or what?”


    “Can you not p like a linebacker, Princess?”


    Alex winced. “Alright, alright. I’ming. I’ll drive.”

    Once they got in the car, Alice’s mask cracked. Her eyes looked a little watery, and her jaw trembled like she was holding something in.


    Alex nced her way and stretched one leg out like a bored trust–fund brat.


    “Listen to me. Forget about Jonathan. That guy’s an icicle. Even if you dated him, you’d be over it in a week. You want hot guys? This city’s full of them. See one you like? Point. I’ll snatch him for you.”


    Alice leaned back, visibly ufortable. “Move over.”


    Alex shifted a little.”


    “God, why are you so fat? You’re squashing me.”


    She said nothing for a moment.


    She shoved at him with her shoulder and ended up taking over most of the backseat.


    They’d all grown up together. Alice had always been the one they spoiled. She got used to it. So did everyone else.


    Alex even leaned his shoulder toward her so she could rest easier.


    “Alice. Seriously. Don’t throw everything away for one guy, alright?”


    “Ugh. Shut up already.”


    Alex stayed quiet.


    Alice let out a slow breath. “When did I ever say I was all in on Jonathan? He should feel lucky I had a crush on him. Not dating me? His loss. He should open his eyes. Guys line up for me from here to another country. Who the hell does he think he is?”
