Chapter 888

At this moment, Theo wrapped his arms around my waist. His lips came closer to my ear, and he said softly, "Don't worry about him. He'll sober up."

I clicked my tongue. "Does this happen a lot to Zedd?”

His slender fingers rested on the glass, which was brought to his mouth. His thin lips were pressed against the glass. It was such a seductive sight to behold.

After taking a sip of water, he said softly, "Not very often. Just occasionally.”

When he saw me staring at his lips in a daze, he raised his eyebrows. "Is there something on my face?”

I came back to my senses and cleared my throat to cover up my embarrassment. "No."

I moved my gaze away from the man’s face and placed my hand on my heart. My heart was starting to beat faster.

The man must be a demon because he was able to make me muddle-headed.

Zedd was completely wasted after drinking two more glasses of wine. Theo reached out to nudge him.

Seeing that he was not budging, he looked at me and said with a smile, "We can go home now.”

I nodded and looked at Zedd, asking, "Do we need to take him home?”

He shook his head. "No, we'll just take him downstairs.”

Theo helped Zedd up from the sofa, and I followed them out of the private room.

When we stepped out of The Imperial Club, Zedd's driver got out of the car and took Zedd over. He thanked Theo, then drove him home.

Theo's car was parked in the parking lot. He looked at me and said, "Wait inside the club for me. I'll go get the car."

"I'll come with you." I did not want to stay here all alone.

Theo, however, did not agree. He persuaded me with a frown, saying, "It’s too cold out here. Be good and wait for me here. I'll be back really soon."

Having said that, he summoned The Imperial Club's staff member to bring me back into the club.

Unable to win an argument with this man, I had no choice but to wait for him in the club.

I was shocked to see Jerome. He was holding a woman in his arms amid all the feasting and revelry.

I could not help but frown. As far as I could remember, he had never dated any woman. He dated Xander after that and I automatically thought that he did not like girls. It was very surprising for me to see him sitting s o close to a woman.

Jerome was equally surprised when he saw me.

He let go of the woman's waist and quickly walked up t o me with a wide grin on his face.

When he walked up to me, he asked with a smile, "Did you come here alone?"

I shook my head. "Theo went to get the car from the parking lot."

The woman came over as well and stood behind Jerome, looking at me with a hostile gaze.

I looked at her and asked blandly, "Are you here to relax or attend a social event?"

Jerome chuckled. "To relax, of course."

After a pause, he continued, "I heard that you allowed Mason to take Munchkin to South Vasetine. Have you forgotten about Cecilia’s last wish?”

I pursed my lips. "I haven't, of course. But there are some things that we can’t control. Besides, Mason only brought him there for vacation, not for the Lynches to take him back."

Jerome sneered. "You're too simple-minded. Mason is a gentleman but that may not be the case with the rest of the Lynches. There are a lot of wolves and tigers around him. It's possible that Munchkin may never come back."

The latter half of his words enraged me. "Why are you saying such things to me, Jerome?"

I could not believe that Jerome would one day say such things to me.

"I'm just trying to warn you not to think so superficially about everything. I don't mean anything else.” He held the hand of the woman beside him and continued, "I feel like we're growing apart, Wanda."
