Chapter 1639 Really Drunk

“Have stea.” Julian poured her a cup of tea.

Jessie drank it and asked, “Mr. Gilmore, why do you do so much for me?”

He fell into deep thought upon hearing that question. In all honesty, I'm not so sure about that as well. Is it because you're

Queenie’s sister and that she’s my best friend's fiancée? Is that why | care about you so much? “What? Are you complaining about

it? Do you really have to ask for a reason?” He evaded her question as he had no answer for it.

“] guess not. Don’t mind me. That was a stupid question. | should be happy that someone is nice to me.” She beamed giddily. It

was evident that she had gotten really drunk.

“| should see my dad and mom now.” She pushed herself up and tried to leave. | can walk, no problem. However, walking when she

was drunk felt like stepping on clouds. She had only taken a few steps before losing her balance and falling right into Julian's arms.

He quickly placed his arm around her waist and helped her back to her seat. “Don’t go around. Stay here.”

Jessie was cute when she was drunk. She patted her cheeks, her eyes telling a hundred stories at the stime. Then, she

huddled closer. “Mr. Gilmore, can | ask you something? It's private, but | promise it’s just a question. | won't tell anyone.”

“What is it?”

“Are you dating Eva? Is she your girlfriend?” she asked curiously. The only one who was rumored to be dating him was Eva, the

actress he had worked with many times. Jessie wanted to know if they were dating for real.

“Is that important to you?” Julian narrowed his eyes.

She chuckled. “Not really. Just wanna know. You don’t have to tellif you don’t want to.”

“No, we are not dating. Eva and | are only partners,” he answered seriously.

Jessie blinked. Oh, he denies it. That means it's merely a rumor. He's still single.

Right then, Brandon and Maggie approached them. The old couple felt for Jessie seeing her getting this drunk, though they were

also amused. Lots of people had raised a toast to her earlier, and she had no idea how to deal with them, so as a result, she had a

bit too much to drink.

“Where's Queenie? | don’t see her anywhere. She could've helped Jessie upstairs,” Brandon said.

They still had to entertain many guests, so they couldn't leave. Just then, Jessie stood up. “Don’t worry about me, Dad, Mom. | can

go upstairs by myself.”

“No. You are drunk. | don’t want anything to happen to you.”

She then turned around to look at the man by her side. “Can you taketo my room, Mr. Gilmore?”

The Silversteins felt a little awkward. She's really drunk. She’s actually asking Julian to take her to her room. That's inappropriate.

Julian was awkward as well. This wasn’t something he should do. After all, he was a guy, and she was a girl, not to mention a drunk

one. There was no way he would say yes, not when her parents were around.

However, Maggie smiled. “We're counting on you, then. Queenie’s not here, and we can’t leave. So, we'll leave her in your hands.”

Bewildered, Brandon looked at his wife, but Maggie shot him a look. Hey, | want him to marry Jessie. Let him do something for her,

alright?

The husband immediately caught onto her intention, and he patted Julian's shoulder. “We're counting on you, Julian.”

Well, if they're trustingso much, | guess | have to do this. Julian nodded. “Of course, Mr. and Mrs. Silverstein. I'll take care of

her.”

“Go on. There are too many people here. She should get srest.”

With that, the Silverstein couple left. As soon as Jessie stood up, Julian offered his arm for her to steady herself. She held it as he

led her to the lobby.
