Leaving While Pregnant：He Goes Crazy！
Chapter 27

Adrian asked two close friends out for a drink.

He guzzled liquor as if it were plain water.

John Harrison and Jason Brown looked on in alarm.

"Should we say something?" John signaled Jason with his eyes.

Jason shrugged. "Do you think we can actually stop him?"

John frowned solemnly. "He's had a lot. It's not good for his health."

Jason nodded in agreement. "Yes."

The two of them moved to intervene.

"Enough, Adrian. Stop drinking. Even if you're drowning sorrows, you've done enough. You'll pass out soon."

They warned, albeit only verbally, neither daring to physically stop him.

Adrian sneered without saying anything. He had drunk his fill for the night, his eyes rimmed red and his aura darkened.

"What happened?" Jason squinted his eyes. "Vivian's back. Why isn't he rushing off to be with her instead of getting smashed here?"

John figured it out after a brief contemplation. "I think it's probably because Vivian's back that this is happening."

Jason didn't understand at first, but then he grasped the twisted logic.

He stared in realization. "You mean..."

John nodded.

Joson frowned. "Makes sense. Vivian's return means Adrian has to divorce Eva. They've been together for so long. He must be struggling to let go." While they were discussing, Adrian turned his head sharply, his piercing gaze landing on Jason.

Jason felt a chill down his spine and stuttered, "What's wrong?"

Adrian squinted at him fiercely. "Who's struggling to let go?"

Jason paused for a moment, then pointed to John. "I was talking about him. He can't let go of his girlfriend."

With that, Jason poured Adrian another drink.

"You better just drink quietly. Don't interrupt our conversation."

Normally, Jason wouldn't dare to act like this, but a drunk Adrian was easier to fool than when sober.

Although Adrian's gaze was fierce, Jason could tell that he was drunk.

However, Adrian wasn't as easily fooled tonight as Jason thought.

"How dare you command me?"

Jason panicked. "I didn't command you. You wanted to drink. I was just pouring for you. Did I say something wrong?" Adrian glanced at the filled glass in front of him, pressed his lips together with displeasure, and raised the glass to drink again. John couldn't help but reach out his hand.

"Stop drinking. Let's just confront the issue. Drinking won't help."

Adrian paused and turned to look at John, his gaze icy.

Even as a close friend, John faced difficulty enduring Adrian's anger.

He was about to retract his hand when Adrian suddenly collapsed onto the table with a loud thud.

Jason exclaimed, "Is he drunk? No way!"

Adrian lay motionless, seemingly asleep.

"Seems like it," John said.

"I thought he was sober. I was worried his tolerance had heightened, but it turns out to be the same." Taking advantage of the situation, Jason played a prank to get back at Adrian for the earlier scare.

John warned, "If you don't want to be killed once he wakes up, you better stop."

Jason quickly stopped.

"What do we do now? Take him home?"

Jason, with a glint in his eyes, rifled through Adrian's pockets for his phone.

"We never got to handle his phone when he was sober. Let's see if he has any secrets or chats with Vivian."

To Jason, Vivian was a goddess of beauty, but knowing her subtle connection with Adrian, he had always restrained himself.

He was about to sneak a peek at their messages when a large hand blocked the phone's screen.

Jason looked up and saw John's serious expression.

"It's private," John warned.

Jason cowered. "I know. I was just joking."

"Give me the phone."

Reluctantly, Jason handed the phone to John. "What are you going to do?"

"Call his family." John went through the contacts.

"His family? Who?"

"Eva."

Upon hearing this, Jason furrowed his brows in disagreement, "Why call Eva? Call Vivian. She's the one who can reason with Adrian."

"Is that so?" John casually asked. "We'll see."

Jason watched as John dialed Eva's number.

"What are you doing? You know Adrian..."

The sound from the phone made Jason shut his mouth.

He didn't understand what John was thinking. Between Eva and Vivian, he seemed to always favor Eva.

He should have called Vivian, but he ended up calling Eva.

The phone rang for a long time.

Jason muttered impatiently, "Maybe she's asleep? It's late..."

Just as he finished, the call was answered, but no one spoke.

John understood. Given Adrian had gone out to drink, it was likely he had a falling out with Eva, so of course she wouldn't be the first to speak when answering the phone. He cleared his throat. "Hello, this is John."

Eva sounded surprised. "John?"

John glanced at the unconscious Adrian and said softly, "Adrian is drunk, and I had to use his phone to contact you."
