Chapter 1091

I smiled and said, “It’s okay, they might come back in a few days.”

Vonnie wanted to say something else, and I asked her, “Vonnie, can you… accompany me to have a drink?”

Vonnie was taken aback, “Drinking?”

She paused and exclaimed urgently, “How can this be possible? Your body is not fully recovered yet.”

“But I just want to drink, I feel upset,” I said, my voice choked up.

After hearing this, Vonnie became anxious and said, “Alright, I’ll go ask Anton. If he says you can drink, then I’ll go with you.”

I hung up the phone and covered my face, crying quietly on the stone pedestal.

Mother’s revenge was not avenged, Essie’s illness had no hope, and Reynaldo cruelly decided to give up on me.

At that moment, it felt like my world was collapsing again, everything plunged into endless darkness, and there was no glimpse of light.

Vonnie found a clean bar with a good environment.

She was worried about me, so when she accompanied me for a drink, she also invited Anton and Johnathan.

Anton didn’t drink alcohol; he sat on the sofa, quietly watching me drink.

Johnathan was just there to liven up the atmosphere, his mouth never stopped talking, occasionally clinking glasses with me.

Vonnie was with me the whole time, drinking.

I hadn’t drunk so heartily and thoroughly for a long time, thinking that alcohol could numb the pain in my heart.

The more I drank, the more sour and bitter I felt.

I had no way to deal with either my mother’s grudge, Essie’s illness, or my relationship with Reynaldo.

After another glass of wine, with red eyes, I asked them, “Do you think Reynaldo is being too much?”

“Outrageous, outrageous!” Vonnie nodded vigorously. “He is the most outrageous of all. If I had known back in school, I should have found someone to beat him up hard. Now he’s so powerful, I dare not hire someone to beat him.”

Johnathan rubbed her head in frustration.

After a while, he sighed and said to me, “Esmie, don’t blame Reynaldo. Last night when I was drinking with him, he was crying.”

“He was just afraid of accidentally hurting you again, so he was so hesitant; he really loves you so much…”

“He said he loved me!”

Great grievance and anger lingered in my heart, almost consuming all of my rationality.

I yelled at him, “All my pain and wounds were caused by him, and now he wants to give up on me. I hate him, hate him so much.”

In the future, none of you are allowed to say “he loves me,” none of you are allowed!

“If I hear you say he loves me again, I’m done with you!”

Johnathan seemed to be startled by my appearance all of a sudden.

He quickly poured me a glass of wine and said cautiously, “Okay, okay, I won’t say it, I won’t say it… Esmie, don’t be so fierce, it’s scary.”

I ignored him and just picked up the wine he poured, then drank it all in one gulp.

After drinking, I pushed the cup in front of him again.

He quickly poured me another glass and said to Vonnie with a look of grievance, “I didn’t know Esmie could be so fierce, she scared me.”

“So, you’d better not speak well of Reynaldo anymore, or I won’t talk to you either!”

“Don’t, don’t, don’t…” Johnathan quickly embraced Vonnie, saying pitifully, “If you ignore me, I’ll end up crying like Reynaldo.”

Vonnie pushed him aside “disdainfully” and then continued to drink with me.
