Chapter 136 Pretending To Be Drunk

"Hey, wake up

Rose nudged Jonathan's arm, trying to push away the arm and body pressing on her. However, each attempt failed.

For a second, she suspected that he was doing it intentionally, but his eyes were closed, and the alcoholic scent lingered in his breath. He seemed genuinely drunk.

After a few more attempts, Rose gave up. Instead, she closed her eyes, and it wasn't long before she fell asleep. When her breathing evened out, Jonathan finally dared to open his eyes.

His eyes were clear and bright, showing no signs of insobriety. He was just pretending to be drunk. It seemed like this was the only way he could stay by her side.

However, Rose was jolted to reality when her phone rang. Worried about waking Jonathan, she quickly grabbed her phone from her bag and answered it, tiptoeing out of the room cautiously. She returned to her room before putting the phone to her ear with peace of mind.

The impatient roar from the other end of the phone stunned Rose. She had been so anxious that she didn't pay attention to who the caller was. It turned out to be Jamie.
