Noah's face twisted hearing Craig talking like a love guru. Now he really believed that Craig was indeed in love.
"I will go now since Gale is waiting for me already…" he uttered
"Goodluck with Luo… I bet you're having cold feet right now..." Craig teased him with a smirk. before rushing towards the door.
Noah could only watch his back with an annoying glare.
He exhaled loudly, losing some frustrations in his heart before grabbing his mobile phone and called Luo.
His brows furrowed because there was no answer at all.
He looked at the wall clock and hissed, "It's still early for her to be asleep." He wanted to see her and talk to her.
He tried again and finally his call was answered.
"Where are you?" He asked eagerly as soon as it was picked up.
He heard a chuckle from the other side of the phone. The voice was familiar but definitely not Luo's…
"Oh sorry… It's me, Lana. Luo was in the restroom, vomiting her guts out… I thought her tolerance for alcohol is pretty high, but I guess she had reached her limit this time."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Where are you two?" Noah asked with knitted brows.
"In my apartment…" Lana answered.
"I will come and pick her up." Lana heard before the call ended.
"Who's that?" Luo asked in her drunken voice.
"Noah. He said he is coming to pick you up? Are you going with him or you want to sleep here? Tell me so that I can call him to abort in case you want to sleep here?"
Luo did not answer and Lana chuckled.
"You want to go with him?"
Luo nodded followed by a grin as she mumbled like a crazy, "I like sleeping beside him so… let hi..m com..e!"
Lana shook her head wondering if it was a good idea to let Noah pick up Luo in her drunken state but then Luo said Noah was a gentleman who was not pushing himself on her if she did not allow it.
"But she's drunk now…" Lana whispered.
Noah arrived at Lana's apartment as early as he could. He was greeted by Lana as soon as he was inside.
He saw Luo singing in the living room while dancing. Lana chuckled seeing his crumpled face.
"She said she never got drunk before… but it's her first time drinking aged whiskey, and this had a little higher alcohol content. She saw some bottles in my bar and wanted to try…" Lana explained.
Then she continued, "Would you like something to drink first? Coffee, tea or any juice?"
Noah shook his head and gave Lana a half smile as he answered, "We would better go immediately seeing how she is soon going to cause chaos here…"
"Ohhh, my so-called FIANCEE is here to pick me up?" Luo burst, with the mic still in her hand, as soon as she saw Noah.
"I'll go get her… Let's grab a coffee some other time," Noah apologetically said to Lana who only nodded. She watched Noah hold Luo in his arms.
"Hey sis, we will leave now. Don't worry about Noah cause he is the safest man to be on earth. He would not dare touch me easily or he would end up dead," Luo mumbled in her drunken voice. She was obviously out of herself snaking her arms on Noah's neck.
Lana shook her head as she walked the two out of her apartment
She smiled as she hoped the best for Luo and Noah. "They actually look good together," she whispered as she started to clean up the mess she and Luo had done in her living room.
She was also drunk but not like Luo who drank a full bottle like it was just some kind of juice.
After cleaning, Lana restlessly slumped on the couch of her living room as she stared on her mobile phone. There was still nothing and she was really worried now.
She hoped nothing bad had happened with Liam and that he was only intentionally punishing her because of the previous incident. She would prefer that scenario instead of Liam being in danger or something.
But still the pain stabbing in her heart was worsening as time flew without hearing anything from her husband.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Oh God please! Liam, call me soon…" she whispered as she bit her lip trying her hard not to cry but still tears fell from her eyes.
She had fallen asleep on the couch without her knowing as she waited for Liam to call her.
Meanwhile, Noah had been cursing as he drove the car because of Luo who could not stay put on her seat.
She was singing as well… The most horrible voice he had heard in his entire life because she was not only out of tune but had a rough voice as well when she sang. His eardrums were about to burst whenever she tried to hit high notes.
"Oh please can you be quiet? I can't concentrate on driving!" Noah beamed but Luo only answered him with a loud laugh as she continued to hum.
Noah drove as fast as he could back home or else he thought that his eardrums would soon burst out and scatter in the four corners of his car.
He cursed because Luo quickly went out as soon as he parked the car. He ran after her who went directly in his garden removing her shoes and ran like a kid playing on her playground.
"I like your garden! I want a garden like this where I can lay down on the grass." Luo said and without any hesitation laid down on the grass and looked at the night sky.
Noah looked at her with a little adoring eyes, as her demeanor was completely changed now as compared to that in the car.
Lying down on the fragrant grass, looking at the stars in the sky. She looked like a lost child searching for her home.
Noah exhaled loudly, squatted beside her and muttered softly, "This garden will be yours as soon as you agree to marry me. Everything that's mine will be all yours Luo. You only need to agree to stay by my side and be my woman. All mine…"
Her eyes faltered as she heard his words and then she closed her eyes. "Hmm… Such a tempting offer. I would love to have everything you got… But you also have to agree to stay by my side as well and be my man, only mine. All mine…" Luo dreamingly whispered. She was still herself but she felt like she was in a dream though.
His eyes lit up as he heard her answer, and Noah suddenly asked, "Are you agreeing to be my woman now?"
