Free Web NovelChapter 528: Chapter 528: Mika Summers VS Tristan Grayson (28)
"Ahem... Leo, I won’t butt in on things between you two. You can handle it yourself. I’m just giving you a friendly warning—it’s best not to let a fight with your woman last overnight." After saying her piece, Aria Joyce ignored her brother and walked toward her bedroom.
’A fight that lasts overnight???’
Perhaps Leo Joyce was just a glutton for punishment. It was clearly that woman who had started being unreasonable first, and it was she who had pushed their relationship back to its freezing point.
’But he still couldn’t stop thinking about her. He couldn’t help but wonder what she was doing right now, whether she regretted what she’d said to him tonight...’
’He was always the one to back down and apologize first. This time, that woman was clearly in the wrong. Shouldn’t she be the one to apologize first?’
’But he also knew full well that if he didn’t swallow his pride and admit fault, that woman would probably stay angry at him for the rest of her life.’
’He’d already brought her to his family home today. Weren’t his intentions clear enough?’
’Couldn’t she just wait for him to slowly erase Amelia from his heart...’
A great anger surged in Leo Joyce’s heart. The more he thought about it, the more agitated he became.
He snatched the keys from the table and stormed out of the house.
「Half an hour later, at Siren’s Night.」
The moment Leo Joyce reached the second floor, he was hit by the sound of pounding music. A devilish smirk touched his lips as he took a drink from a passing waitress’s tray and downed it in one go.
Ever since he’d gotten together with Tiana, he rarely came to the second floor, usually heading straight for the top floor to play cards.
But he was in a foul mood today, so he had no choice but to come here to unwind.
Siren’s Night was his turf, so he’d barely taken a few steps onto the second floor before some young heirs started pulling him over for a drink.
He didn’t refuse, following the man straight into a private room.
As soon as they entered the room, the man pulled out a cigarette and offered it to Leo Joyce.
Leo Joyce let out a cold laugh and took it. He leaned back on the sofa, his eyes narrowed as he watched the crowd outside.
’He never used to understand why Amelia Avery would come to a bar and party all night, wrecking her body, whenever she was upset.’
’But now, he got it.’
’Because this place was full of people who had no idea how they were supposed to live for tomorrow.’
’And now, it seemed he didn’t know what he was supposed to do with his tomorrow, either.’
’Before, he could spend all day revolving around Amelia Avery. When he was bored with nothing to do, he’d play a few hands of cards. His only pleasures in life were Amelia Avery and gambling.’
’But now, with Tiana in the picture, his old life had been completely turned upside down.’
’When he was happy and when he was sad, Tiana was there. When he wanted to talk, Tiana was there...’
’He used to be the one listening to Amelia Avery pour her heart out, but later on, it became Tiana listening to him pour out his.’
’He told her everything, whether he was happy or sad.’
Thinking back on all the little moments he had shared with Tiana over the past few years, Leo Joyce suddenly felt a sour ache spreading through his chest...
’If he really lost Tiana, what would his tomorrow look like? What would the rest of his life be like?’
’When he was happy, who would he share it with?’
’When he was sad, who could he confide in?’
"Young Master Joyce, a toast to you!" At that moment, a woman holding a wine glass draped herself over Leo Joyce.
But the words had barely left the woman’s lips when Leo Joyce abruptly shot to his feet...
