"Let's go!" I said. Since we were already here, it wouldn't make sense to not go inside.
I didn't drink often. Aaron only brought me here because he knew that I was in a bad mood and wanted to take me out to let off some steam.
We didn't ask for a private room, and only sat at the table in the hall. After ordering a glass of wine, he looked at me and said, "If you are not pleased, you can divorce him. The Reid family's property is just as prosperous and abundant as Mr. Robert's. You'll have more than enough money to go around."
I laughed. I had not drank in a long time. After downing a glass of cocktail, I felt extremely refreshed.
"Why do you think that I'm unhappy?" Squinting my eyes, I held my chin in my hand as I watched a woman dance on the stage. I told Aaron, I'm satisfied with everything. What's there for me to be unhappy about?
He didn't drink the wine. He just stared at me with sympathy in his eyes. "Arianna, promise me. No matter what happens in the future, I will always be your brother. Don't..."
He trailed off as pain flashed across his eyes.
I sighed. I always felt that he had a lot hidden away in his heart; things that he didn't want to tell me about.
Things that he wouldn't tell me even if I asked.
Drinking when one was in a bad mood was not a great idea as one could get easily drunk with just a few glasses in.
A middle-aged man suddenly slapped a woman at the next table, causing her to fall to the ground.
Aaron and I looked over. We saw the woman lying on the ground, her delicate cheeks were red and swollen.
"F*ck! You expect me to respect you? A prostitute? You've ruined my mood!" The middle-aged man then kicked the woman's lower abdomen in a rage.
I immediately threw the glass in my hands in the man's direction and it hit his chubby legs.
That man screamed in pain, "Who threw that?"
