Chapter 885: Chapter 864: Brother Roy, Let Go!

The searing breath of a man enveloped her as she stumbled into his words, and taking advantage of the moment, he pulled her tightly into his embrace. His arm around her waist tightened even more, yet his eyes remained firmly shut, truly resembling someone who had drunk himself into unconsciousness.

"Brother Roy, let me go!"

The man’s actions were indeed making it difficult for her to breathe. The scent of alcohol overwhelmed all her senses, causing her initially clear head to become somewhat foggy. A strange feeling directly assaulted her heart, making it race chaotically.

"Hmm?"

Upon hearing her words, the man did not release her but merely grunted through his nostrils. After a while, he added, "I feel so sick, I want to throw up!"

Want to throw up?

After drinking so much alcohol, how could he not want to vomit?

This was just perfect. Even the servants had gone off duty, Daddy and Mommy were asleep, and now she would have to make the hangover tea herself. But this man wouldn’t let her go — what was she to do? "Brother Roy, you’ve had too much to drink; you need hangover tea. I’ll go make some!"

"No, I’m not drunk!"

He, get drunk?

All the world might get drunk, but not him. Did they not see whose son, whose man he was? If a bit of liquor could get him drunk, how could he protect his woman?

"Brother Roy, you are drunk!" Anyone who says they’re not drunk is definitely drunk, while those who are truly sober would claim to be drunk, "Just behave, and I’ll make you some hangover tea. Otherwise, you’ll have a headache tomorrow! Plus, you reek of alcohol right now; if my mom sees you, she’ll certainly despise you. Once she despises you, she won’t agree to let me marry you in the future. After all, I’m a socialite now, and a socialite can’t marry a drunkard!"

Bella Gordon had hardly ever seen a man drunk. Michael Gordon always exercised self-restraint and had never allowed himself to get drunk in front of his wife and children, so Bella had never witnessed it either and naturally could not distinguish between true drunkenness and feigned inebriation.

But instinctively, she felt that Roy Thompson must be drunk after consuming so much alcohol!

A socialite can’t marry a drunkard?

Upon hearing this remark, Roy Thompson nearly coughed up blood. Had he now become a drunkard in her eyes?

Unacceptable...

"If a socialite can’t marry a drunkard, then whom should she marry? Bianca, tell me, do you like that idiot Morgan?" Since she called him a drunkard, he might as well play the part. Today’s reaction from Bella left him dissatisfied; when he appeared, she hadn’t introduced him right away, obviously not considering her official boyfriend important enough. Although in the end, his Bella sister did stand by his side, her initial reaction had definitely sparked his jealousy!

And it wasn’t just about that. The real issue was her wanting to remain friends with this scheming nerd. How could he, who had watched her grow up from a child, tolerate this?

Idiot Morgan?

Michael’s older brother Roy really was so drunk he had even forgotten his manners. Although she did not like Morgan Sanders, he was still a good study partner during their usual academic activities. Today’s incident has made it difficult for him to hold his head up in front of their classmates.

Whenever Morgan Sanders and Roy Thompson stood together, the difference was clear to anyone with eyes to see. With the disparity so obvious, adding a nickname would only add insult to injury.

"Brother Roy, his name is Morgan Sanders, not ’Nerd,’\’’ she protested. "He does well in school, but he is not a bookworm. He is quite an intelligent person, just a bit weak-willed and timid. Please don’t call him ’Nerd,’ or our classmates will laugh at him!"

Today’s commotion had Morgan Sanders incapacitated by alcohol within five minutes, courtesy of Roy Thompson. The boys who had been supporting Morgan’s pursuit of Bella Gordon swiftly became admirers of Roy. The gap had turned into a joke among their classmates.

The situation escalating to this was not something Bella Gordon wanted to see, so she couldn’t help but speak out when Roy called him a "nerd."

"Laughing stock?" Upon hearing these words, Roy suddenly opened his eyes wide, and as if stung, he stood up abruptly. His eyes, fiery red, bore into her as his temper flared. "Bella Gordon, do you think I shouldn’t have shown up today and disturbed his confession to you?"

From the moment he arrived, he had noticed that little girl’s face never once showed a hint of welcome, only shock upon shock. Later, when they drank with their classmates, she desperately tried to stop him from drinking.

No matter how commanding Roy’s presence was, no matter how alpha he could be in handling matters, he was still just a nineteen-year-old, one year older than Bella Gordon. He could barely maintain the mature side of a man in public, but when faced with the woman he loved, all pretense of maturity instantly shattered!

Who says that jealousy is a woman’s prerogative? Men get jealous too, alright!

"Brother Roy, that’s not what I meant. You’re drunk!"

He must be drunk. Normally, Brother Roy would be as meek as she wanted. Always gentle and kind, this was truly the first time she had spoken to him in such a tone. If he were sober, she would not be so easygoing. But now was different!

"I’m not drunk, I’m not drunk," Roy insisted, getting worked up. His arm, which had been around Bella’s waist, moved up to her shoulders, trapping them. His gaze was intense, almost aggressively so. "Tell me the truth, Bianca. Do you like Morgan Sanders? Do you not like me anymore?"

Chani had called him to say that someone was going to confess their love to her and that if he didn’t care, Bella would belong to someone else by the end of the night. He had panicked upon hearing that, and without a second thought, he had hopped on a plane and rushed over.

He hadn’t even had the chance to inform his parents, fearing that if they knew about his skills, they wouldn’t feel comfortable letting him go and he might miss his chance. Arriving just in time to witness the scene was something he found hard to accept!

"How could that be? I really like you, Brother Roy!"

Bella felt somewhat helpless with the drunk man making such unreasonable demands. When comparing Morgan and Roy, anyone with eyes would choose Roy, let alone her, who had years of feelings for him!

He hadn’t even had the chance to inform his parents, fearing that if they knew about his skills, they wouldn’t feel comfortable letting him go and he might miss his chance. Arriving just in time to witness the scene was something he found hard to accept!

"You mean like a brother?" Roy felt an unbearable irritation hearing "Brother Roy" again and again. What once sounded affectionate now seemed to cast him in the role of an elder brother!

This realization made Roy feel intensely agitated, a furious desire to claim her as his woman consuming him!
