Perfect Husband, The Destined One novel Chapter 72

After a long day, almost all the guests had left the mansion. Some of the Darby family seniors had left as well, leaving the younger family members still drinking in the living hall and insisting the groom to bring the bride back to their room.

The groom, Jackson, drank a little too much in the afternoon, and he was still in a deep sleep. Whereas the bride, Rebecca Song, was busy entertaining the guests on his behalf.

Of course, the eldest brother, Florian, and his wife, Yumi, were there, too.

"Alright, it’s getting late. Time to go home!" Yumi looked at the time and urged.

Florian did not seem like he was ready to leave just yet. He waved it off. "Ah, today is such a special occasion for all of us. Why don't you go home first? I'll stay on longer to chill for a while."

"You’re so drunk already. What's there to talk about?" Yumi was not pleased, but she did not want to embarrass Florian in front of his family, so she had no choice but to leave.

Once Yumi left, Florian's gaze fell onto the bride, Rebecca. The youngsters sat drinking while Rebecca poured them drinks, just like a good wife.

'This woman that my brother is marrying, she was pretty enough and had a decent body,' Florian thought.

The alcohol was messing with his mind. The longer h e stared at Rebecca, the prettier she became.

Gulp!

Florian could not help but drool.

By the time everyone was wasted, Florian had stood u p and smiled. "Alright, everyone seems to be having a great time tonight! Jackson isn't awake yet, and Rebecca still has to clean up. Let’s all just call it a night, shall we?" 1

Everyone nodded in agreement since he was to inherit the family business.

"Rebecca, you must be tired today." Florian approached Rebecca when the last guest had left.

Rebecca smiled, "Don't say that. It's my pleasure. Jackson had too much to drink today and couldn't entertain you all. I just do it on his behalf."

"He's lucky to be able to marry someone like you. What a lucky guy!" he smiled as he walked over to pour a cup of tea.

As he was pouring, he took out a small bottle of powder from his pocket and sprinkled it into the tea. Then, he turned to Rebecca, handing her the tea. " Rebecca, you drank quite a lot today as well. Here, have some tea to feel better. You still have to take care of Jackson later, too." "Thanks, brother." Rebecca did not overthink it and took a sip of the tea.

"Alright then, I'll leave you to it. I'll go home now,” Florian smiled.

After Rebecca sent him out of the living hall, she returned to cleaning up. A few minutes later, she felt a whirl of dizziness in her head, and as she reclined onto the sofa, she lost consciousness.
