C144 Don't Reject Me.

At the entrance of a certain hotel owned by the Tillman Group.

A black Maybach slowly parked in front of them.

Lydia held Sara, who was hanging on her body, with one hand and pulled the door with the other. At this moment, Reece, who had already passed by the car, came to her side and opened the door for her.

"...Thank you."

"..."

Lydia dragged the drunken Sara out of the car. Her gaze returned to the man's cold face. "I'll take Sara to rest first."

"I'll take you up." Reece glanced at the girl's trembling left leg and frowned.

He reached out to pick up the drunken Sara and help her carry the weight off her shoulders. However, a car suddenly rushed towards them.

Before he could finish his sentence, Loran came out of the car with an unsightly expression. He quickly walked up to Reece and whispered, "Sixth Bro is in trouble. We..."

Halfway through his words, Loran glanced at Lydia and swallowed the rest of his words.

Lydia saw all of Loran's little tricks.

She tactfully pulled Sara and walked towards the hotel, "You guys chat. I'll send her back to her room first."

Before he could finish his sentence, Reece walked up to Loran and whispered, "Sixth Bro is..."

Lifting her head, she saw the man say, "Continue."

Reece glanced at the staff member and immediately, the hotel lobby manager rushed to help Sara get into the car.

Lydia stood rooted to the ground, speechless.

Loran, are you sure?

"Continue."

Just as Loran was still in a dilemma, Reece's resolute voice sounded in his ear once again.

After thinking for a while, Loran finally told him the truth, "Josie was kidnapped!"

Lydia was stunned. "Josie was kidnapped?"

"Yes." Loran pursed his lips.

"What do you mean? Who kidnapped her?"

Facing Lydia's confusion, Loran could only explain that he had sent someone to follow Josie after she was afraid that the Woodward family would escape. He then told her that he had sent someone to monitor Josie after they left University of Goulcrest. However, the person he sent to monitor Josie was knocked out and Josie was kidnapped and sent out of the city.

"..."

After listening to Loran's explanation, Lydia raised her head and looked at Reece with a complicated expression.

So, he had never thought of letting Josie go?

It was her who had misunderstood him.

"It's just like that. Everything happened just like that... Now, she has been kidnapped." Loran pursed his lips and made a conclusion.

"So... you lost her?" Reece glanced at Loran and spat out a sentence.

The man's voice was not loud, but it was filled with a strong sense of oppression.

Especially when his sharp gaze landed on him, Loran felt as if a sword was about to pierce his throat. His entire body tensed up.

"..."

It's over, it's over. He had lost her.

However, even though he was nervous, Loran felt that something was wrong.

Was her sixth brother's point of view a bit off?

Shouldn't he be asking who took Josie away? Why did he take Josie away? Where is she now?

"Now is not the time to blame him for losing Josie." Lydia glanced at Loran and her gaze fell on Reece. "We need to find out who the other party is and what their purpose of kidnapping Josie is."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Loran nodded his head in agreement.

Seeing Loran, who rarely fought with her, Lydia paused for a second.

Was she hallucinating? Loran, who had always been against her, had actually said that she was right one day?

This was really strange.

In the blink of an eye, her body was wrapped in a coat.

"I will let Loran and I know about this. You can go back to the hotel and wait for the news."

"Okay."

She did have a lot of questions about what happened to Josie, but some things couldn't be solved in a short amount of time.

So she might as well calm down and let him investigate.

After sending Reece and Loran off, she returned to the hotel to take care of Sara.

In the end, she was too drunk. After hugging her for two hours in the hotel, Sara finally fell asleep.

However, even if she fell asleep, Sara would still sob from time to time.

Because she was worried that Sara would cause trouble because of alcohol, Lydia stayed by the bedside. After a long time, she unknowingly fell asleep on the bed.

"..."

"Why is it you? Why does he like you?"

"You know that I love him so much. I can't lose him... So, I can only let you down."

In her daze, she heard someone muttering something in her ear.

Lydia's eyes were filled with tears.

When Sara saw that she had woken up, she was shocked. “You’re awake?”

"You just talked to me for a long time. How can I not wake up?"

"You, you heard me?" Sara's face turned pale. She felt like she had been cheated on.

Seeing this, Lydia giggled. “What’s wrong with you? Why do I feel like you did something that I didn’t want to do? Tell me honestly, what did you do to me?”

"... No, no." She didn't hear anything.

Sara glanced at the wine on the table guiltily.

She then looked away from her and pouted. Pretending to be generous, she said, "I was thinking that if you don't wake up, I'll sell you as a pig!"

"Are you willing?" Lydia asked in disbelief.

"..." Sara's body stiffened. After a few seconds, she snorted and complained, "You slept like a pig. I don't know if you were taking care of me or me taking care of you."

"..."

"I don't care. Tonight, you have to stay with me until the end of the night," Sara said as she walked to the dining table and picked up the wine that had been poured earlier. She raised her eyebrows at Lydia. "The dishes and wine have been served just now. Come on, come over."

"I can drink with you tonight. Promise me that you will put down Justus from tomorrow onwards."

"..."

Sara, who was sitting beside the table, lowered her head and fell into silence. Her eyes were red.

Lydia, who had fallen in love with her once, knew that it was not easy to let go of her feelings.

If she had not died once, how could she have let go of the man in her heart?

Since he couldn't persuade her, he decided to accompany her as a friend.

There was a person who was chatting and talking. Perhaps this silly girl would not have time to think about that person, and she would also feel less pain.

Lydia thought about it and sat by the table. She picked up the red wine beside her and smirked. "I'll drink with you tonight."

"...Lydia, wait."

Just as she was about to finish the glass of red wine, she was stopped by Sara.

"What's wrong?"

"I... You..." Sara glanced at the glass of red wine with a complicated look in her eyes.

However, that expression disappeared in an instant. She raised her white neck and gulped down the red wine in her hand. "I won't go back until I'm drunk!"

"Okay."

Although Lydia had noticed that Sara was a little different tonight, she did not take it to heart as she thought that she had lost her love.

She drank the red wine in one gulp as well.

The two of them chatted while drinking, and soon, they had a few glasses of wine.

At this time, Lydia felt her face burning and her head spinning. She frowned and shook her head, trying to keep herself fresh.

"What's wrong, Lydia?" Sara licked her lips and asked softly as she saw her little movements.

"It's nothing... I'm just a little tipsy." Lydia smiled and took the red wine with a puzzled expression.

The wine was not that strong. Why did she get so drunk after drinking a few glasses?

"Your tolerance for alcohol has always been poor. Why don't you stop drinking?"

"It's alright. I promised to accompany you... but I..."

Before she could finish her sentence, she slumped onto the table and fell unconscious.

"Lydia?" Sara pushed her away.

"..."

Seeing that Lydia did not react, Sara's eyes darkened and she muttered hoarsely, "Lydia, will you forgive me?"

"I... I... I'm sorry."

"I'm sorry, Lydia. I can't let you get divorced. If I do, I will completely lose my brother, Justus. Without him, I won't be able to live."

In the next second, Sara drank all the red wine in the bottle with reddened eyes.

Gulp, gulp.

After she finished drinking the wine, she finally got up and moved her to the bathroom.

After everything was set, Sara picked up her phone and dialed Reece's number. "Reece, I need you to come to the hotel with me."

"She's calling me... Why did you call?" Reece frowned.

"Drink, drink... Sara, don't cry, I'll drink with you..." Before Sara could explain anything, Lydia, who was on the bed, suddenly shouted.

Hearing this, Reece's eyebrows immediately furrowed. "Did you let her drink?"

"We drank a little... I, I was a little drunk too. I can't take care of her." Sara's eyes rolled around as she feigned to vomit. "You, hurry up and come... Uh..."

"You..." How could you let her drink?

Before Reece could finish his sentence, Sara had already hung up the phone.

Hearing the busy tone in the phone, the man's eyebrows furrowed again.

After putting away the phone, he put on his coat and went downstairs like a gust of wind. He drove to the hotel.

Standing outside the room, Reece knocked on the door lightly.

Just as his fingers touched the door, the door slowly opened.

The door was actually unlocked?

He frowned slightly and walked in. "Lin... Cough, cough..."

As soon as he stepped into the room, a strong and elegant fragrance rushed into his nose. The man couldn't help but cough.

He slightly stabilized his breathing and glanced at the empty bedroom. He then walked to the small bathroom.

When she pushed open the door, she saw that Lydia, who was so drunk that her face was red, was soaking in the bathtub.

Perhaps she was asleep, her body slid down and soon, the warm water was above her head.

Lydia could not care less. Reece reached out his hands and pulled the girl out of the bathtub.

"... You, you came?"

"I'll help you back to the bed..."

Before he could finish his sentence, the girl's warm lips had already landed on his lips.

The warmth of her lips made the man's heart skip a beat. His chest throbbed as his body heated up.

However, he was still rational and gently pushed her away. "Lydia, you're drunk."

"Drunk? Heh, heh... No... No..." Her mind was in a complete mess due to the effects of the alcohol and some other things.

When she touched the man's cold body, her remaining rationality completely collapsed.

She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him into the bathtub. "Kiss me, okay?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the girl's red lips once again covered him...
