Awake for Love: My Coma Bridegroom novel Chapter 278

His breath, reeking of alcohol, blew on her cheek.

She was certain he was drunk.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have held her in his arms in front of so many employees.

Violette tried to get up from his lap.

But he held her waist tightly, not letting her go.

"Violette, let's have a drink." He picked up a wine bottle and poured it into a glass. "Did you get drunk last night because Peter was arrested and brought in?"

His grip on her waist loosened a bit.

She immediately got up from his lap.

She glanced in Adrian's direction. Where was he?

"Elijah! Where's Adrian?" She looked at Elijah's flushed face and felt he was getting craftier.

He must have had his men take Adrian away while he was forcefully holding her.

"He's so drunk, of course we sent him to rest." Elijah slowly handed her a glass of wine. "Don't worry, I won't do anything bad to Adrian."

As soon as his words fell, Violette's phone beeped.

Opening it, she saw a new text message.

It was from Adrian.

—Violette, I'm not drunk. He's been asking about Dr. Mitchel's apprentice all night, so I had to pretend to be drunk. Be careful, he might find out about you.

She breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the message, but also tensed up.

She looked at Elijah, took the glass of wine he offered with a complicated expression, and took a sip.

"What were you doing just now?" he asked in a low voice after taking a sip of wine.

Her chest rose and fell slightly, and her emotions were stirred by him.
