The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife novel Chapter 381

The atmosphere in the room had lightened up after that small interlude. Everyone was laughing, save for Seth. He pulled a long face, wishing he could find a place to hang himself. He vowed that he would go to the Animal Protection Society afterward to report Julian for abusing a lone animal like him.

The atmosphere was cheerful. When Anna saw Pawpaw Clark's ashen face, she went up to him and asked with concern, "Are you alright, grandpa? You should go upstairs and get some rest."

"I'm fine," Pawpaw Clark replied, offering Anna a forced smile.

Confused, George pressed on. "What happened to Pawpaw Clark?"

"Grandpa was too agitated and vomited blood when he discovered you guys were still alive," Anna replied, enlightening George.

"What are you still waiting for then? Chop-chop, help Pawpaw Clark rest upstairs," George hastily said.

"It's okay, George. I'm fine..." Pawpaw Clark responded.

"No, no, you have to rest," everyone insisted.

"Alright, then." Pawpaw Clark then staggered to his feet with the help of a cane. Anna carefully supported him and went upstairs with him.

Julian narrowed his eyes and squinted as he looked at Pawpaw Clark. He did not withdraw his gaze even though Pawpaw Clark had disappeared from his line o f sight entirely. 1

"Julian, since we're all so happy today, let's grab some good wine and celebrate tonight,” George suggested with a lot of joy.

He waited for a long while, yet Julian did not reply.

"What's wrong, Julian?" Susan tugged at Julian, pulling him back to reality. The moment he regained his senses, he quickly asked, "Is Pawpaw Clark lefthanded?”

"Yeah, I think so," George replied, looking dumbfounded. "Is there anything wrong?”

"Nope. Nothing." Julian shook his head, but the dark glint in his eyes did not go away.

Even though he had always known that Pawpaw Clark was left-handed, he had not cared much about it until something fishy had crossed his mind today.

However, it was so fast that Julian could not respond i n time.

"Should we drink tonight?" George shouted.

Julian decided to push this thought to the back of his head. He raised his brows slightly and replied, "Sure. Let's drink!"

"Alright! That’s decided then!" George smacked the table hard. "We've drunk up all the wine you brought u

s last time. You should bring more this time.”

Luna rolled her eyes at George. "You really have some nerve to be asking Julian to bring you more wine."

"Why not? Aren't we family?" George responded brazenly.

Julian reddened upon hearing George’s reply. He then added, "Yeah. We're a family."

Luna was left speechless. She shook her head and warned, "Just remember not to overdrink!"

Then, she led Susan and Serenity aside to chat.

At night, the group of men soaked themselves in alcohol delightfully downstairs. Even though Jacob abstained from liquor, he could not help having a few glasses after being urged by Seth a couple of times.

In the end, all of them drank themselves down until midnight. Luna stamped her feet in frustration when she saw them all laying haphazardly in the living room. Left with no other choice, she hollered at a few servants and had them all sent back to their respective rooms.

"Susie, he seems very drunk. Do you need me to arrange a room for him to stay in?" Luna suggested.

"It's okay. I can take care of him," Susan replied with a smile as she held Julian up.

"Alright then. Do call us if you need any help." Luna did not insist.

Susan answered before she closed the door. The moment she closed the door, Julian turned around and pushed her up against the door. He moved closer t o her and started pecking her lips again and again with great passion.

Susan tried to push him away, as she did not feel comfortable with this. However, Julian paid her struggle no mind and deepened the kiss.

"Susie." Julian only released her after a long while. His eyes were clear, and he did not seem intoxicated.
