NovelEnglishChapter 521 Mandy glanced down at herself.
Her clothes were perfectly neat-clearly, Liam hadn't taken advantage of her while she was drunk.
She groaned inwardly, her head pounding. She'd never had alcohol before and had no idea she'd turn into such a handful after a few drinks.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtToday was Claire's wedding, and swept up in the celebration, she'd indulged in a few too many glasses of champagne. She never imagined things would spiral like this.
Taking a steadying breath, Mandy forced herself to calm down. Liam, on the other hand, looked thoroughly disheveled his shirt askew, a lipstick mark on his collar, hair a mess. Guilt prickled her as she stammered, "I'm so sorry. I got drunk-I didn't mean for any of that to happen." Liam fixed her with an intense stare. "You think you can just apologize after what you did to me, Miss Mandy?" Oh no, Mandy thought, dread sinking in. Clearly, he wasn't about to let this go.
She couldn't really blhim. If the situation were reversed and she'd been harassed by a drunk stranger, she'd probably have called the police by now.
Face burning with embarrassment, she managed, "I really am sorry. I know there's nothing I can say to make it right, but if there's anything I can do- whatever it is, as long as it's within my power-I'll try to make it up to you." Liam almost laughed, though he kept a straight face. He was starting to enjoy teasing her like this. Maybe it wasn't exactly noble, but he had no intention of letting Mandy slip away. Something deep inside told him that if he let this girl go, he'd never find anyone else like her.

I nearly lost my virtue to you tonight. So how about this-why don't I becyour boyfriend from now on?" Mandy stared at him, utterly stunned.
That was it? She'd been bracing herself for skind of financial demand, or maybe a request for something impossible. But all he wanted was... this? When she didn't answer right away, Liam's confidence wavered. Was she about to reject him? He tamped down his nerves and pressed on "Remember in the car, you promised you'd granta request? Well, this is it. You be my girlfriend, I'll be your boyfriend. That way, what happened between us tonight will make perfect sense." Mandy blinked, finally snapping out of her shock. She looked at him-really looked. He was handsome, with the kind of features she'd always been drawn to. From the moment she'd first seen him, she'd felt an inexplicable pull.
She didn't dislike him. And after the scene she'd caused, it only seemed right to take responsibility.
Clearing her throat, she tried to ease the awkwardness. "Is that really all you want?" Liam nodded. "That's all. So-will you?" Mandy hesitated, then nodded slowly. "I... will." Liam lowered his gaze, hiding the storm of emotions in his eyes. At last she was his.

Liam's spirits soared. He smoothed out his wrinkled shirt and followed Mandy out of the lounge. Just as they stepped into the banquet hall, they ran straight into May.
