Along the way, Yvonne leaned on Henry's chest.
Henry had no other choice.
Because the woman in his arms was completely wasted, she refused to listen to his words.
"We’re here. Where's the key?" Henry asked the woman in his arms as he stood at the entrance of Yvonne's apartment.
After asking, there was suddenly a trace of regret in his eyes because he felt stupid for asking a redundant question.
"Forget it..." With a low sigh, Henry adjusted his stance while carrying Yvonne.
He went through her bag to find the key card and quickly found it.
Henry opened the door and the light in the apartment turned on automatically when it sensed the key card.
He carried Yvonne into the apartment without changing his shoes, and he walked directly towards the bedroom.
There were two bedrooms. He did not know which one she lived in, so he went to the nearest one.
However, the door of the room could not be opened - i t was locked.
He didn't understand why she had to lock the room in an apartment where she lived alone, but he did not think much about it and assumed that it was so that she could have a better sense of security.
Henry released the doorknob and went to another room, thinking that if the other room could not be opened as well, he would need to wake her up and ask her where the key was.
When he went through her bag earlier, he didn't see any keys other than the key card in her bag.
However, Henry was worried for no reason at all. The room was not locked and the door opened easily with just a slight turn.
There was a faint fragrance in the room, which was exactly the same as the perfume on her body. It was obvious that this was her room.
"Shan." Henry gently shook the woman in his arms.
The woman buried her head in his neck and made a sound, but there was no other reaction.
The corner of Henry's mouth twitched slightly. He then carried her into the room like he had accepted his fate.
The floor-to-ceiling windows in her room were open, and the glow from the neon lights outside penetrated into the room, so Henry could clearly see where her bed was.
He walked over to her bed as he planned to gently put her on the bed and leave after he tucked her in.
Unexpectedly, when he put the woman down, the woman on the bed suddenly grabbed his arm and pulled him down.
Henry stared blankly at the woman who had opened her eyes.
She seemed to have sobered up.
But when he took a closer look, her eyes were still hazy. So she had not really sobered up yet - it was just an intuitive action.
Henry lifted his upper body and tried to get up, but Yvonne pulled his sleeves and refused to let him go.
Henry suddenly stopped and said, "Shan, let me go."
"No." Yvonne suddenly freed her hand, grabbed his tie to pull him in front of her, and kissed him.
Henry's mind went blank and he was dumbfounded. For quite a while, he didn't know how to react.
