Chapter 622: Annual celebration and getting drunk again 2 Chapter 622: Annual celebration and getting drunk again 2 The three of them arrived at a public house in the heart of the Metropolis Central.

Candy Foster actively found a seat and sat down, while Victoria Garcia and Francis Davis sat at a distance not too far from her, but far enough so that Candy could not hear their conversation.

Francis Davis immediately ordered two bottles of red wine.

After the waiter opened the bottles, Francis poured Victoria a glass, saying: “You can just drink a little with me; this shouldn’t be enough to inebriate you.”

“That shouldn’t happen, my alcohol tolerance may not be good, but I can still handle a few drinks.” Victoria could accompany him for two or three glasses, but if the quantity increased, she would not be able to control herself.

Francis poured wine into his wine glass, gently swirled it a few times, and then drained it in one gulp.

Without hesitation, he poured himself another glass and drank it all again.

“Brother Francis, you can drink, but don’t hurt yourself doing so.” Victoria didn’t actually know how much alcohol Francis could handle.

But if he were to end up drunk or even hospitalized, that would be something she would hate to see.

“Don’t worry, I know my limits.” Francis drained another glass of wine.

Watching him pour another glass for himself, Victoria thought his manner of drinking was bound to cause trouble.

“How about I call Mila? You two can talk and maybe resolve whatever’s going on?” Victoria thought that “heartache” was something that needed to be addressed by the heart.

Upon hearing that Victoria wanted to call Mila, Francis’s face immediately turned sour.

He even said somewhat impatiently: “Victoria, the last person I want to see right now is her. If you really think of me as your brother, just accompany me for a few drinks.”

“I promise, I won’t drink so quickly; let’s just take our time, is that alright?”

Having said that, Francis only took two sips and didn’t drink any more.

Seeing this, Victoria also followed suit and took two sips.

“I’ve been in Metropolis Central for quite some time but never had the chance to chat with you. Since it’s just the two of us today, there’s so much I want to say.”

Seeing Francis suddenly become serious, Victoria couldn’t help but feel a little nervous, saying, “Alright, I’ll chat with you about anything, as long as I know about it.”

“I want to know, how is Arnold Johnson treating you?”

This question, suddenly being asked, alongside Francis’s intense gaze, made Victoria wonder if she was seeing things.

However, upon closer inspection, Francis seemed utterly composed.

Was it just a reflection from the lighting?

“Victoria, I’m worried that Arnold has people following you under the guise of protecting and loving you, but it’s actually limiting your freedom. I know your personality; you don’t like being monitored like this.”

Victoria responded with a smile, “A lot has happened to me before. He’s worried about me, which is why he’s doing this. Of course, he arranged it this way with my consent.”

For some reason, upon hearing that, Francis felt a surge of jealousy.

“It must be because you love him too, which is why you agreed to this arrangement,” said Francis, taking another two sips of wine.

Victoria openly answered, “Yes, because I love him, I trust him.”

Her unwavering response to such a question showed that Arnold had already taken root in her heart. Francis’s hand involuntarily twitched.
