However, Oliver grabbed Elaine's arm. Standing behind Elaine, he leered at Mark and snorted.
"We all live on campus. I don't see the point in sending her back. Isn't that right, Mark?"
Mark's face did not change. He nodded and looked at Elaine.
"You must be tired. Have a good rest since it's a school night. Master Young, it's getting late. They need
to go wash up and rest. You should leave now, right?"
(⊙o⊙)... Oliver didn't expect that Mark, who had always been a gentleman, would put him on the spot
before he left!
Of course, he didn't want to leave!
He wanted to be alone with Elaine for a while!
"I..."
"It's not appropriate for girls to stay out late. Master Young, you can come tomorrow. It's late. Please
leave with me."
Mark looked gently at Oliver but had actually backed him into a corner.
Elaine thought he had a point. She took out Oliver's coat and leather bag, and said,
"Oliver, just go. I have to study! Be careful on the way!"
"I...."
Oliver was so upset that he couldn't say a single word.
Elaine had already pushed him out of the house.
"Mark, thank you for today! Go back and have a good rest. Take care of your lower back!"
Elaine shouted at Mark, who had walked a little distance away.
Mark turned around and looked at Elaine.
The yellow light enveloped Elaine's delicate body.
Her eyes looked so beautiful that Mark's heart softened.
***
"Go in. It's cold. Go to bed soon."
Mark waved at Elaine like a gentleman.
Oliver angrily opened the car door and muttered,
"What? There are no warm words for me. She just ignored me. That is infuriating!"
Suddenly, the mobile phone in the car rang. Oliver picked it up and heard his grandfather roaring.
"How dare you not answer my calls? Son of a gun! You're going too far! How can you forget about the
blind date? Didn't you agree to go long ago? You just vanished! You've embarrassed me! Come back
now!"
Oliver was petrified.
(⊙_⊙)
He really forgot to give his grandfather the runaround.
His grandfather kept nagging about the blind date, so he agreed recklessly.
Oliver was not afraid of the blind date. If the worst came to the worst, he would behave badly and it
would be over soon.
But when he heard about what happened between Elaine and Mark, he ran over in a hurry and forgot
everything else.
Oliver wiped away his cold sweat, got in the car, and raced away.
...
In the bar, Lucas sighed again as he drank.
He had sighed more times than he could count.
Lucas drank up all the wine in his glass, then took the bottle, and shook it. He had drunk it up.
Lucas looked up at Emmett, who was still busy with work. He was infuriated.
"Hey, buddy! Emmett, you are the one who called me over to drink. Why didn't you drink?"
Lucas had been drinking alone. He was getting drunk.
Emmett saved the data on the computer, and slowly raised his eyes to Lucas. Then he picked up a
glass and took a sip.
***
Emmett was elegant and majestic. Under the colorful lights, he looked stunning.
"You've sighed too many times tonight. Who upset you?"
Emmett asked Lucas softly, his face as noble as usual.
"Oh, don't mention it. Just your girlfriend's friend. She is torturing me! I'm so upset that I can't do
anything. She is driving me crazy!"
Lucas complained and beckoned to the waiter. "Four more bottles."
Emmett sipped the wine as he arched a perfect eyebrow. Then he smiled,
"I don't know Hazel well. But I know you have been hooking up with lots of women. Why do you care
how Hazel treats you?"
"No matter what, she should take me seriously!"
Lucas said angrily with his eyes wide open.
Emmett was still playing with the wine glass with his slender fingers. He sighed,
"Lucas, if you are not taking her seriously, she is under no obligation to take you seriously. You need to
calm down and clear your head."
"How ridiculous! Men are not obliged to be faithful to a woman."
Lucas gave Emmett a contemptuous smile, rubbed his nose, poured himself another drink, and drained
it in one gulp.
"Emmett, men like us can't be with the same woman for the rest of our lives. It is impossible!"
Emmett looked at the wine glass and said softly, "How is that impossible? I can make it, can't you?"
"What? What did you say?"
(⊙_⊙) Lucas was shocked. Being a little drunk, he asked directly,
"Could it be that you've only slept with Elaine recently?"
Emmett did not answer but smiled. Then, he slowly looked up at Lucas and opened his lips.
"I have been trying to control myself."
***
Lucas was stunned.
After a long while, Lucas said in a hoarse voice, "Emmett.... this is a noble thing you're doing. I admire
you."
Then Lucas frowned and asked suspiciously,
"Emmett, why aren't you nervous when I told you about Mark? This isn't like you."
Emmett smiled faintly, "I'm very jealous!"
"Really?" Lucas blinked. "You're in the mood for a drink?"
"I'll be soon engaged. I can't go to see Elaine too often. But I've already informed Oliver. Oliver is a
hothead, so he should have arrived at the university and dealt with Mark."
...
Lucas spat out a mouthful of wine.
Stunned for a moment, Lucas gave Emmett a thumbs up.
"Emmett, you're still the wiliest!"
Lucas began to drink slowly. Perhaps he had learned something from Emmett.
Kayden quietly walked in, his head held high, like a wild leopard that was ready to attack.
"Young Master, the engagement ceremony is going to be like this. Please check if everything is all
right."
Kayden bowed and handed over an exquisite gilded book.
"No need!"
Emmett waved his hand indifferently as if there was poison on the gilded book. He didn't even want to
touch it. Then he said irritably,
"Do as you please. You know, I don't care how it goes."
Kayden bit his lips and said, "Oh, I understand. But Young Master.... Master asked you to choose the
clothes you will wear that day. There are twenty sets."
"How annoying!"
Emmett muttered in displeasure.
Kayden hurriedly explained, "Master Smith, you have to change several sets of clothes that day. A set
for the ceremony, a set for the photo, a set for greeting the guests, and..."
"Okay, okay. Aren't you bored of it?" Emmett had already turned around and crossed his legs.
"Kayden, are you confused? Do I need so many clothes?"
***
Emmett sneered.
Kayden was stunned for a long time before he regained his senses and broke out in a cold sweat.
"Then the clothes..."
"Choose some as you please. Anyway, it's to give my father the runaround."
"Well ... okay."
Kayden nodded at Lucas and hurried out.
Lucas immediately leaned over and asked,
"You will be engaged in three days and that's your attitude?"
"Then what kind of attitude do you want me to have? Happy? Cheerful? Are you kidding me?"
Emmett poured himself some wine and raised his glass to drink.
However, Lucas didn't drink but stared at Emmett in shock.
"It has been cast in stone. No matter how unhappy you are, the engagement ceremony will be held."
Emmett sneered as his eyes bent upwards. At the sight of it, Lucas trembled.
How seductive!
"Lucas, I hope you can have fun then."
(⊙o⊙) ... Lucas was dumbfounded.
When he was with Emmett, he always felt foolish as if his wisdom was not enough.
...
Emmett sat in the car with his eyes closed.
He was a little drunk.
It was dark and cold outside, but very warm in the car.
Kayden was writing something on a notebook in the front seat.
He was quite annoyed. It was Emmett's engagement ceremony. But Emmett left it all to him.
Emmett's phone was vibrating.
