Chapter 69
The strange sensation in his body intensified, and Samuel cursed under his breath, “Liam, did you hit your head somewhere? What the hell were you thinking by ordering this?”
Damn shrugged. “Hey, I was just trying to help you out.”
“nullshit!” Sebastian kicked Liam straight in the shin. “It makes sense for Samuel since he has a wife, but what the hell was your excuse for giving me that crap?” Then, he turned his glare on Harry. “You’re a regular here. You knew this stuff was spiked and didn’t think to give us a heads up?
Harry lazily leaned back. “Drinking together sets the mood. Besides, you’re a doctor. Don’t tell me you can’t handle a little something in your drink.”
Sebastian was fuming. “Screw your mood.”
what kind of nonsense was this?
Samuel glanced sideways at Sebastian, who just shrugged. “Don’t look at me. At least you’ve got someone at home. I’m stuck with a cold shower. Unless you wanna take one together?”
“Get lost, quack”
Sebastian watched Samuel’s retreating figure and clicked his tongue. “Man, having a wife really makes a difference ”
Samuel had only drunk half the glass. The effect wasn’t overwhelming, but it was noticeable.
Still, hecould handle it.
Yvonne had had too much to drink and was standing outside Zouk Lounge. She was letting the night air sober her up while she waited for a ride. When she spotted Samuel, her eyes lit up. “Samuell I didn’t expect you and Iris to come pick me up. She must have really twisted your arm.”
She reached for the car door, ready to climb into the Bentley.
“Stay still.” Samuel’s voice was ice–cold. “I’m not here for you.”
Just then, Iris walked over and asked, “Samuel? What are you doing here?”
“I had some business to deal with,” Samuel answered, his cone softening slightly. “It’s late. Drop her off and head back”
With that, he tumed to leave.
“Wait!” Iris instinctively reached out, pressing her palm against the back of his hand as he grabbed the car door handle.
The warmth of Samuel’s skin startled her. It was hot enough to make her heart skip a beat. “Are you sick? You’re burning up!!
Iris lifted her other hand and was about to check Samuel’s forehead, but before she could, Samuel reflexively caught her wrist.
“Sanuel, you… Iris bit her lip and looked at him in hurt and disbelief.
Samuel immediately let go and said in a calm and detached voice, “I’m fine. I’m leaving.”
aris clenched her hand into a fist as shame and frustration bubbled inside her. She couldn’t hold back anymore. “Do you hate me? Have you fallen for Kylie?” Even now, she made sure to maintain her innocent image.
“No,” Samuel flatly answered, his expression unreadable.
“Where are you going this late? Back to Hythe Villa?” Iris pressed.
Samuel’s expression Nickered, clearly losing patience. He didn’t bother hiding the truth. “No. Ineedto make a trip to Starlight Summit. My grandfather’s Treatihend requires a specific het,”
“This late?” Iris feigned core. “You don’t look well. Driving at night isn’t safe. You should call Logan and have him go with you.‘
Se kurwexactly what this was about.
Marlight Summit herbs–this was about Kylie.
Starlight Summit was the last place she wanted to think about because that was where Kylle had saved Samuel’s life.
And in all these year, Samuel had never gune bark
Iris couldn’t shake the worry that if Samuel returned to that place, he would remember everything from back then
