His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 1144

As for Ralph, Alexander would put the matter aside for two days and see what Margaret wished to do later.

…

Ralph drove around aimlessly and pulled over by the curb when his car almost ran out of gas. It was midnight, and the starless sky was dark. Several food trucks by the roadside were serving midnight snacks, and Ralph’s stomach growled as he took in the appetizing smells.

He got out of his car and took a seat at a table. “I’d like three sets of bacon cheeseburgers and a dozen beers.”

The owner took the order and returned shortly with the food and beer. He had a respite from all his trouble and humiliation as he gobbled down his burgers and drank his beer alone. No one knew or noticed him in the boisterous crowd.

He got slightly drunk when he finished more than half of his beer. As he drank, he suddenly became overwhelmed with sadness, thinking nobody truly cared about him.

‘No one has bothered to call me even though I’ve been away for so long. All the talk about how much Mom loved me, yet she was the one who caused my downfall. Liars. She and the rest of them!’

He munched on his burger angrily, forgetting he had shut off his phone. He downed two more beers as fashionably dressed individuals moved in and out of a nightclub across the street.

Ralph barely looked at the place. He used to frequent it, but now he could only drown his sorrows here, not knowing what his future would be.

“I’d like six sets of double cheeseburgers. Send them to the private room later, okay?” Someone made the order and indicated the nightclub.
