Chapter 365
Lulu asked, “Does it matter?”
“Of course it does,” Irene said. “If Mrs. Slate was the reason Zachary got in bed with that woman, it means it was
against his consent–that he didn’t mean to cheat on you.”
Lulu breathed a long sigh. “Doesn’t matter now. Even if he wasn’t willing, she’s pregnant with his child. Do you think
he’d demand that she get an abortion?”
Iren became silent–Lulu was right.
With the other woman being pregnant with Zachary’s child while also being Mrs. Slate first choice for Zachary’s
fiancee, Mrs. Slate would definitely urge them to tie the knot soon.
“But what about you?” Irene asked.
Lulu turned to look elsewhere, but her gaze was unfocused.
After a long silence, she finally said, “Maybe we’re destined to never be together. It’s as if fate wants to keep us
separate even after all that we’ve been through–we’re never getting back together.”
As Irene sighed, Lulu wiped her face firmly and said, “Drink with me, Irene. I’ll still be me after tonight, but no more

“Okay,” Irene said, and headed for the door.
Noticing that Harvey was still waiting outside, she gave him their order, and Harvey quickly told an attendant to
bring it..
At the same time, he peeked inside. “Drinking off your sorrows?”
“You can leave already,” Irene told him. “Lulu and I are going to be here for a while–you don’t have to stay here.”
Harvey was worried, however. “What if you two run into some perverts after you get drunk? Just enjoy yourselves–if
you really get drunk, I have rooms ready where you can rest.”
Irene leaned against the doorway as she stared at him. “Perverts, huh? Takes one to know one, I guess.”
Harvey was speechless for a moment, but soon tapped himself on the chest. “Pervert? I am as good looking as I am
gentlemanly! I’d never do something as underhanded as laying a hand on vulnerable women.”
Irene actually smiled. “Really?”
“Scout’s honor.” Harvey held up a hand in solemn salute.
The attendant brought Irene’s drinks just then, and as she took the tray. Harvey smiled. “Would you like some
company?”
“Nope,” Irene replied shortly, and shut the door in his face again.
Placing the tray on the table, she picked up two glasses and gave one to Lulu, who said, “Once I return to Sunny
City, I’ll focus on my work and forget about him.”
Irene stayed silent.
After all, true love could not be easily forgotten, and it was a painstaking process.
Although her eyes were red, Lulu added, “Thanks for staying with me, Irene.”
“No worries, we’re friends!” Irene exclaimed. “Cheers! Let’s drink to the good life!”
Lulu sniffled and picked up her glass. “And it will only get better!”
Clank!
They chugged it at once, and Lulu poured them more. “You’re stuck with me tonight.”
Irene naturally would not refuse. “We’re going home drunk, or else.”
Lulu laughed.
Soon, they finished an entire bottle, and were clearly drunk.
Lulu was lying sprawled on the table, but she grabbed the other bottle to refill her glass. “Do we even need men?
What are men to us? Another!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIrene was already lying on the couch, the world around her spinning and multiplying. Although she could not even
muster her strength, she was still keeping up with Lulu. “Another!”
“Chug!” Lulu burped.
Irene then suddenly clasped a hand over her mouth, and almost threw up right then.
Her cheeks were a peachy red, and she complained, “All men are scum…”
Isaac was gone for days, but he did not even call!
He must have forgotten all about her already.
“Yeah… Dogs, all of them.” Lulu said, not picky with her words now that she was intoxicated.
Cheers!
Another glass down the gullet, but this time, Irene could not take it.
Her stomach was churning and in flames, leaving her entire body burning. “I think I’m going to be sick…”
The door suddenly swung open, and she looked up with muddled eyes to find a towering figure standing at the
doorway.
He looked a little familiar, so she narrowed her eyes…
