Every Breath You Take novel Chapter 82

At noon, Roland received a call from his friend, who insisted on inviting him to dinner. He asked Monica to come with him. It was in a private club in Jiang City. When Monica and Roland arrived, they saw Quarmy, who was holding the hand of a beautiful woman.

With just a glance, Monica recognized that she was Mary, a beauty graduated from Jiang University.

"Mary is really beautiful. Quarmy is really lucky!" Roland smiled softly.

Monica glared at him and said, "Why aren't you after her if you like her? With your romantic character, maybe she will be with you."

"Although she's beautiful, I like you." Roland looked at Monica with a smile.

Monica glared at him, and Roland lowered his voice. "Quarmy is taking her to all kinds of occasions without any hesitation now. Is he going to break up with Madrigal?"

"How do I know?" Monica said impolitely.

"Isn't he afraid of annoying Zoe? What if Zoe gets mad at him because of this matter?"

Monica sneered. "Quarmy doesn't rely on Zoe to run the company. What's there to be afraid of?"

"That's true, but people won't go against officials. It's not a good thing for him to annoy Zoe."

"Why do you care about him?" Monica was impatient. She really felt uncomfortable. Looking at Quarmy and Mary, she thought that a few days ago, he came to her for explaining. Fortunately, she didn't choose to believe him, otherwise...

Quarmy looked at Monica and Roland whispering to each other, feeling really uncomfortable. He held back the discomfort in his heart and entered the club with Mary first.

Roland led Monica to wander around for a while before entering the private room. The private room was full of his acquaintances. Monica only knew a few of them. Quarmy and Mary sat by the window. When Roland and Monica came in, Quarmy glanced at them with no expression and continued to talk with Mary.

Seeing Roland come in with Monica, someone immediately teased him. "Mr. Wang, have you had a new girlfriend?"

Roland stared at him and said, "Dude, be polite. This is your sister-in-law!"

"Sister-in-law?" Roland's words attracted everyone's attention. Quarmy was holding a cup and drinking tea with a smile on his face, but his eyes darkened when he heard that. Roland was serious?

"She is really beautiful. You are so lucky!" Someone praised.

"Of course. The woman I like must be good-looking and talented." Roland was very proud.

Monica glared at him, who then pulled out the chair for her. "Dear, sit down!"

It made Monica get goosebumps all over her body. Everyone burst into laughter. "Mr. Wang is always so considerate and gentle to women."

Roland patted the speaker and said, "Are you embarrassing me deliberately? I'm telling you, from now on, I'll only be gentle and considerate to one woman."

While talking, he looked at Monica, but Monica ignored him. The people next to him laughed. "Mr. Wang, even my sister-in-law doesn't believe what you said, let alone others."

"Time tells."

"I only know that a man can't change his nature." A man interrupted. Roland stared at the man and said, "We'll see."

"I'm so scared. Sister-in-law, I was just joking. Mr. Wang is gentle and faithful. He's only good for you. You mustn't kick him out of bed because of my joke tonight."

Hearing this, the audience burst into laughter. Roland gave the man a punch and said, "Hey, if you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute."

"Mr. Wang, please spare me! I'm just telling the truth!" Looking at them, Monica couldn't help laughing.

Quarmy looked at her smile and felt upset. He picked up a shrimp for Mary beside him. Seeing his action, Monica sneered in her heart. She also picked up the food for Roland. Roland was so excited that his eyebrows were dancing.

He immediately ate the food Monica picked up for him and smacked his lips. "Delicious!"

Quarmy's eyes flashed a hint of gloom. A person next to Roland happily suggested, "Since our sister-in-law is here, why don't you have a drink with her?"

"Yes, yes." Someone immediately echoed, "Cross-cupped wine! Come on!"

The person who proposed immediately filled the glasses with wine and placed them in front of Monica and Roland. Roland picked up his glass and said, "Dear, since we're all happy, you'd better not let them down."

Quarmy stopped eating and looked at Monica and Roland coldly.

Monica didn't want to cooperate at first, but when she saw Quarmy's eyes, she suddenly got angry. It was just a trick on the table. What was she afraid of? So she picked up the glass and drank cross-cupped wine with Roland.

Seeing that, everyone cheered. Immediately, someone raised his glass to Monica. "Nice to meet you, Sister-in-law!"

Roland stopped him. "Dude, stop it. Since you come here to propose a toast, you have to toast all the ladies here. Right?"

Everyone echoed. Louis did not expect Roland to say that, so he had to toast to all the ladies one by one. When he came to Mary, Quarmy reached out his hand to stop him. "Mary can't drink. I'll drink it on her behalf!"

"She can't drink?" Louis was stunned and immediately smiled evilly. "Could it be that she is pregnant?"

All the people looked at Mary and Quarmy. "Congratulations, Mr. Huo!" Quarmy did not explain and raised his glass to Louis.

Mary smiled gently, but Monica sneered in her heart. If it was true, there would be a good show.

Seeing Quarmy drink a glass of wine, Louis filled his cup again. "You can't drink only one cup on behalf of her. You have to drink three cups in a row!"

Quarmy had a bad stomach. Mary looked anxious and said, "He can't drink. Mr. Liu, don't make things difficult for him."

"No, he can't break the rules." Louis insisted. Monica sneered as if she was watching a good show. Feeling Monica's indifference, Quarmy raised his glass to drink it up.

Seeing Quarmy's face hadn't changed after drinking three glasses of wine, Monica sneered. He deserved that. She said with a smile, "Since Mr. Huo is going to be a father, everyone should toast him."

As soon as she said that, Quarmy looked at her. She knew that he had a bad stomach. Thinking of the soups that she used to make for him, he felt bitter in his heart and naturally wore a bitter smile on his face.

Monica's proposal was immediately echoed by some people. "Yes, Mr. Huo, it's a good thing. We have to toast for you!"

Roland smiled and whispered to Monica, "Are you trying to vent your anger on your illegitimate sister?"

Monica smiled and picked up a piece of fruit and put it in Roland's mouth. Quarmy saw this scene and his heart was bleeding. Without caring about anything else, he picked up the bottle and began to pour the wine. Mary was anxious. "Let him go, everyone. He has a bad stomach, he can't drink so much wine."

"It's fine. Mr. Huo is happy. It isn't a big deal." Roland interrupted.

Quarmy looked at Roland with sarcasm and said nothing. He raised his head and drank a glass of wine. "Mr. Huo, awesome!" Someone immediately filled his glass. Quarmy drank several cups of strong wine and immediately came to Roland and Monica.

Monica smiled very gently. "I'll pour wine for Mr. Huo!"

"Thank you, Miss Mo." Quarmy's eyes and brows did not move at all.

Instead of using the small glasses on the table, Monica grabbed a goblet for drinking red wine. Seeing her movements, Mary gasped.

Monica filled the goblet with wine, and then filled the glass of herself. "Congratulations, Mr. Huo!"

Quarmy looked at the goblet in front of him and calmly picked it up. "Thank you, Miss Mo!" He raised his head and drank it.

Roland frowned slightly. At first, he thought Monica was standing up for Madrigal, but then he thought it was wrong. Monica hated Madrigal and Yale to the bone. How could she stand up for them? Monica was not such a person who liked to make trouble. What was wrong with her?

Seeing Quarmy finish drinking, Monica smiled, "Roland, propose a toast to Mr. Huo." Then, she poured wine into the goblet in front of Quarmy Monica didn't think that she was a cruel person, and this night she didn't feel that she was cruel at all. When she looked at Quarmy and Mary, she couldn't help feeling sad in her heart.

Mary was pregnant! She remembered that Quarmy came to her a few days ago and said that he wanted to make it up for her. Although she refused him at that time, she remembered every word he said.

How could this man be so shameless! He said that he regretted and wanted to make it up for her, but he had a child with his lover? Looking at Quarmy's care for Mary, her hatred grew.

Looking at the goblet in front of Quarmy was filled with wine again by Monica, Mary's eyes were filled with horror again. "He really has a stomach disease. He can't drink anymore!"

However, Monica ignores her. "Roland, you'd better drink it first!"

Although Roland vaguely felt that something was wrong, he still drank it and showed Quarmy the bottom of his glass.

Quarmy did not say anything but raised his glass to drink the wine. "Mr. Huo, you have a good capacity for liquor!"

Next, Quarmy drank a few more with others, and then stopped drinking. After that, Quarmy's face was still the same as usual.

Someone sighed, "It's said that Mr. Huo can't drink. I didn't expect that he's so good at drinking!" Quarmy smiled faintly and said, "Everyone, excuse me."

Looking at his staggering steps, Monica knew that he must have drunk too much and gone to the bathroom to vomit. It was her idea to let him drink, but when she saw him hurrying to the bathroom, she didn't feel happy. Instead, her heart was in pain.

Quarmy left, and others turned their eyes to Roland and Monica. "The first good thing today is about Mr. Huo, and the second is about you guys. Now it's your turn."

Roland was happy. "No problem. I'm happy today. I'll accompany you all the way to the end!"

As soon as he said that, someone immediately clapped his hands in agreement.

Roland was really in a good mood and good at drinking. He started to compete with others for drinking. Monica glanced at the door. Quarmy had not come back yet. While she was thinking, Mary went out.

Seeing that, Monica was laughing at herself in her heart. Even if he died of drunkenness, it had nothing to do with her. What was she worried about?

Looking at Roland who was drinking with others one by one, she reached out her hand to stop him. "You can't drink anymore!"
