Chapter 1313: I feel lost

Cassandra would rarely do something reckless, whether in this lifetime or the last. Finn knew her well enough to sense that something was wrong. She lived a carefully controlled life, and for her to suddenly break the rules she had set for herself—it worried him.

So, when she called, he came.

Cassandra knew he would.

After all, just as she knew him, he knew her. No matter how unfeeling and cold he seemed, he would always be there for her. No matter what.

As soon as Finn pulled over, he rushed into the exclusive bar Cassandra had asked him to come to. His eyes scanned the room until he spotted her slumped over the bar counter, her seat nearly tipping from the weight of her body.

"Cassy," he whispered before striding to her side. Just in time, he grabbed her arm to keep her from falling. "Hey, hey."

Intoxicated, Cassandra slowly blinked before breaking into a weak smile the moment their eyes met. "You came," she breathed, clutching his shoulders as she pushed herself upright. "Finn. Hello there."

"Cassy." His expression hardened, as if he were about to scold her. But in the end, he only sighed and glanced at the bartender. It was not the right time for scolding.

The bartender offered Finn an awkward smile and a nod. "I didn't serve her too many drinks. Just enough. But she's a lightweight-I didn't realize."

"I'll take her home now," Finn said, pulling out his card to pay for her tab.

The bartender processed the payment and returned the card before wiping down

a glass, watching as Finn helped Cassandra stand.

"I don't want to go home," she protested, trying to shake off his hands. "I want to drink more."

"Cassy, come on. It's already late."

"But I don't want to go home!"
