He froze suddenly and subconsciously pulled his hand out of Susie’s .
Susie was caught off guard and couldn’t help frowning. She followed his gaze and found Myrna standing not far ahead.
Ansel frowned and asked Clyde , “Did you invite Myrna ?”
“Yeah, we’re all friends.” Clyde smiled harmlessly.
“Why didn’t you tell me in advance?”
Clyde shrugged. “I forgot when I was busy. It’s okay if I don’t mention it, right?”
Over there, Myrna also saw Ansel , but looked away after just a glance.
She came here intending to send her blessings and leave. She was busy reading books and looking up information and had no time to waste on such a gathering.
Thinking of this, she walked straight to Clyde and said, “Happy birthday. This is the gift I prepared for you. It’s not expensive, so please don’t despise it.”
She took out a gift box and handed it over.
Clyde took it and chuckled, “Thank you.”
He was the birthday boy today, the center of attention. He entertained many guests and there was a hint of alcohol on his body.
“You’re so happy today, let’s have a drink together?” The waiter came over with the wine, and he picked up a glass of red wine, “I’ll drink it first.”
He drank it all in one gulp, and Myrna naturally had to drink it.
After finishing one glass, she looked at the time and suggested leaving.
Clyde raised an eyebrow: “It’s still early, the party just started, you want to leave?”
Seeing Myrna ‘s embarrassment, he changed the subject: “How about this, you stay a little longer and leave after you cut the cake.”
“Okay.” Myrna agreed.
A full glass of wine was a bit too strong for her, and the heating in the room was too strong. After standing for a while, she felt a little breathless.
Clyde was entertaining other guests. She asked the waiter and walked along the archway towards the garden.
Ansel looked at Myrna ‘s back with a gloomy face. She didn’t even look at him before, and now she walked away without even looking at him.
He wanted to chase him out, but Susie suddenly took his hand and said, “Baby, I feel a little uncomfortable all of a sudden. I want to find a place to rest. Can you take me there?”
Her voice was soft and weak, and she leaned meekly on the man’s arm, like a fragile gardenia.
In just a short while, Myrna disappeared.
He could only look away and take back the steps he had taken, but his tone was a little impatient: “Let’s go.”
The path connecting the living room to the garden is not long. Along the way, there are green plants everywhere, and there are various kinds of flowers in the greenhouse.
Some of the precious tree species she had only seen in magazines were difficult to survive, required careful care, and had prices approaching six figures. However, the garden was planted one after another, almost filling the entire garden.
The woody scent drifted over with the cold wind, and she felt the depression in her heart eased a lot.
She plans to walk around.
Suddenly, a warm breath came from behind her, and a man’s drunken breath sprayed on the side of her neck. She thought it was Ansel and was about to break free, but suddenly heard the man chuckle.
Myrna was stunned on the spot, her pupils trembling????
It?? s Clyde !
His palm was on her waist, and the unfamiliar heat gave her goose bumps instantly. Without thinking, she immediately broke free and took two steps back.
“You are drunk. I am not your female companion.”
Clyde looked at her alertly, his eyes wide open, like a frightened bird.
He laughed softly, “I didn’t make a mistake.”
Myrna didn’t seem to understand and her eyes were blank for a moment.
I heard the man speak again????
“It’s you I want to kiss.”
Myrna was dumbfounded and speechless for a long time.
Her mind was in a mess, and for a moment she couldn’t tell whether what was happening was reality or a dream.
Because, it?? s too crazy!
Clyde curled his lips, his handsome face showing a bit of wickedness and unruliness, mixed with the slightly drunken smell on his body, revealing a kind of cynicism: “What? Are you surprised?”
was more than just shocked. Her entire brain was stunned .
?? You?? you????
She moved her lips but couldn’t utter a complete sentence.
“Yes, I like you.”
“What are you talking about?! How could it be possible for me and you to…?”
“If you don’t try, how do you know it’s impossible?”
“You and Ansel …” Aren’t you good brothers?
“You two have already broken up, I like you, I’m bold enough to pursue you, what’s the problem?”
Myrna finally reacted and looked at the man in front of her carefully.
I have to admit that Clyde is tall, handsome, and has the elegance and gentleness of a modest gentleman.
If Ansel is the unpredictable sky, with no telling when it will rain or clear up; then Clyde is the wind blowing through fingers, without any form, seemingly within reach, but actually very difficult to control.
“I’m sorry,” Myrna began, “I don’t like you.”
Clyde didn’t seem annoyed when he heard this. He even smiled as if he had expected this. “Yeah, I know.”
Myrna was about to breathe a sigh of relief when she heard him speak again –
“So, I’m pursuing you instead of just confessing my feelings and asking you to be with me.”
Myrna : ??????
“Why can’t you give me a chance? Some people can’t tell the difference between fish and pearls, and don’t know how to cherish them, but I can’t.”
The man stepped closer, “I know your thoughtfulness, your meticulousness, your talent, and I also understand your self-esteem and your persistence…”
“Don’t come over here!” Myrna looked at his tall body approaching little by little, and took two steps back in rejection.
“No matter what you say, if I don’t like it, I don’t like it. The so-called pursuit is just a waste of time. It’s completely unnecessary.”
She never thought of any other possibility with anyone around Ansel , let alone that this person was his good friend.
“To me, you are just Ansel ‘s friend. I will pretend that I didn’t hear what you said today. From now on, please don’t mention it again.”
Clyde frowned, as if he had not expected her to refuse so bluntly.
He didn’t even give himself a chance.
He stretched out his hand to hold Myrna ‘s waist, but the next second, he was pulled away by brute force, and then a fist was swung at him.
Ansel’s eyes were bloodshot, and he punched Clyde on the bridge of his nose. He seemed to be still not satisfied, so he punched him again.
He was worried and chased out just now, originally wanting to talk to Myrna , but what did he see?
His best brother was hugging his ex-girlfriend. Myrna had her back to him at the time. He didn’t know what expression was on her face, but Clyde’s obsessed look and lust in his eyes showed that there was obviously an affair!
Ansel’s head buzzed, and for five whole seconds, his mind went blank.
By the time he reacted, his fists had hardened.
“Okay! Clyde , you are really my good brother! Don’t you know that Myrna is my woman? What were you doing just now?!”
