A Second Chance With My Billionaire Love
Chapter 3486

As they left, Edwin apologized to Leonel, “Sorry, I’m whipped; need to heed Laura’s orders.

”

Leonel couldn’t help but find the whole scene amusing.

Sipping his drink, he grinned, “Oh, come on! Laura’s the only one who puts up with your bossy ways.

Swap her out for another woman, and you’d be singing a different tune.

”

Edwin was clearly trying to rile Leonel up.

“And that’s because I’ve got skills, buddy.

”

Once Laura left, the vibe grew livelier.

The guys launched into raunchy jokes, no holds barred.

This was standard stuff for this crew.

Booze had a way of turning big shots into regular Joes.

Though not exactly cheery, Leonel kept tossing them back.

The blame was on James for keeping the drinks coming and Leonel for not saying no.

By now, James was sloshed, clutching his glass.

“Nobody leaves tonight.

Only if your missus rings can you split.

Last one here’s the fearless leader, the one not scared of his better half.

”

The room erupted in laughter as they started ribbing their wives.

Leonel stayed silent, soaking in the marital drama.

Turns out, everyone’s union was a bit of a mess.

Oddly enough, it brought him some solace.

Guess that’s just marriage at this age.

He thought.

Half an hour Later, one by one, the guys got the dreaded calls from their wives, demanding they come home.

With their buddies, they felt pretty good about themselves, but once on the line with the wives, they treaded carefully.

“Just a quick drink with friends, love.

No need to stress.

”

“Yeah, it was James’ idea.

Want me to film it?”

“Chill, honey.

Even Leonel’s here, and his wife aren’t checking in.

It’s all good.

I’ll explain when I’m home, promise.

”

The guy promised, but once off the line, he apologized, “Sorry, folks.

The wifey’s giving me the hook.

Have to keep the peace at home, you know? Cheers, though.

Let’s do this again sometime.

”

Everyone chuckled and one by one, they left.

Only James lingered, too sloshed to stand.

His missus rang too.

Drunk as a skunk, he clung to Leonel, slurring, “Nah, mate, I’m staying.

I did my bit for the project tonight.

She’ll get it.

”

Leonel gently tapped James’ cheek, retorting, “Your missus is knocking.

Plus, I am not into guys-especially drunk ones.

It’s like talking to a brick wall.

”

In stumbled James’ wife with a posh upbringing, tender skin, and curves to match.

She apologized, “Mr.

Douglas, sorry about James.

Bit carried away, he was.

I’ll drag him home and have him ring you an apology tomorrow, sober-Like.

”

Leonel nodded.

“Sure thing.

You take care of him.

”

With farewells exchanged, they left.
