NovelEnglishChapter 410
Aubree lay on the bed, her long hair spilling out like a waterfall, her cheeks tinged with a rosy flush. Bowen
watched her for a moment, then sighed and resigned himself to taking care of her.
He reached out to help her take off her shoes, knowing that reasoning with a drunk person was a lost cause.
Aubree’s eyes were misty, her brows furrowed in clear displeasure as she kicked out at him.
Bowen was caught off guard and loosened his grip, so he missed her foot. She landed a kick right in a rather
awkward spot. His expression shifted, but the kick was so light it didn’t really hurt. It was just embarrassing.
The real problem was that Aubree seemed to find it amusing. After that first kick, she didn’t pull her foot back.
Instead, she rubbed it against him a couple of times, like she was playing around.
Bowen's neck muscles tensed, veins standing out as he shot her a smoldering look.
She'd gone all out for the class reunion tonight, wearing a long coat over a deep red knit dress that reached her
ankles. Now, with her movements, the hem slid up, revealing her calves and thighs. Her skin was luminous like
jewelry under the light. It was impossibly alluring.
Bowen was still holding her foot, his fingertips gliding over her exposed skin, lingering on the top of her foot as
he gently rubbed it a couple of times.
“That tickles, Aubree complained, trying to pull her foot back, but Bowen wouldn't let her go.
Aubree burrowed under the covers. The alcohol made her feel miserable. She let out soft, coquettish whimpers

He leaned down and pressed his lips to hers.
‘Is she really this much of a handful when she’s drunk? Bowen thought, feeling even more stifled by the fact that
Aubree was doing all this unconsciously.
He kissed her hard before finally pulling away. “You little troublemaker, using your drunkenness as an excuse to
light a fire under me, huh?”
Aubree blinked, her mind sluggish and clouded by alcohol. She could barely process what Bowen was mumbling
about.
She couldn't make sense of it, and she didn’t care about it.
She suddenly swung her hand and gave Bowen a slap. “Shut up!”
Bowen was stunned by her attitude, then let out a helpless, exasperated laugh.
There was nothing he could do since she was his girlfriend. He felt that spoiling her was his job. Even if she left
him burning. up with frustration, in the end, he could only resign himself and head to the bathroom to cool off.
The next morning, all Aubree felt was a splitting headache.
‘Drinking always getsinto trouble, she thought. Remembering that Bowen had cto pick her up last night,
she let out a long sigh of relief.
If he hadn't shown up, she probably wouldn't have made it hat all. They'd forced way too much alcohol on
her.
Rubbing her temples as she got out of bed, she spotted a sticky note from Bowen on the nightstand. He'd
already left for work
As she headed downstairs, the smell of Carol's breakfast was so good it made her mouth water. After all that
drinking last night, her stomach was practically growling from emptiness.
“Alvin, aren't you supposed to be in class?” she asked, surprised to see him sitting at the table.

“I took the day off to look into something.” Alvin replied.
“Is it about what happened at the orphanage last time?” Aubree asked.
“Yeah,” Alvin said. After getting the list, he'd already tracked down where most of those people were now. A faint
smile appeared on his usually expressionless face. It wouldn't be long before he found all those people from back
then.
“Well, congrats!” Aubree said, “Hey, | took a day off from school too. My flight to Stdlichen Strand is this
afternoon.
“Hope this round of financing goes off without a hitch.”
At the Bree Technology office in Stdlichen Strand, Aubree sat in her office chair, pressing a hand to her forehead
The hangover still hadn't fully faded. Tomorrow, Sheldon would be arriving in Stdlichen Strand.
At that moment, she watched in silence as the fire department guys bustled around nearby, doing their routine
inspection.
The inspection wasn’t strange, but the way they were picking at every little thing was definitely suspicious.
They’d gone over the entire building, inside and out, not missing a single corner.
