Chapter 1853: Two grooms

"You’re drinking too much," Hugo said with concern, noticing Max chugging down drinks like a man parched in the desert. "If you keep doing that, you might end up very drunk even before the night ends."

Max huffed, glancing at Hugo, clicking his tongue before emptying his glass.

"Damn you," Max cursed under his breath. His gaze shifted towards where Ginnie was seated, glaring daggers at Kiara and Lily.

Why them?

Well, Kiara’s only sin was dating this jerk Hugo! Meanwhile, he resented Lily for even trying to befriend Kiara, knowing full well that her best friend, Ginnie, was in love with Hugo.

Was Lily even a friend?!

"After all the effort I’ve put in..." he grumbled, pouring another glass of wine.

Setting up dates for Ginnie and Hugo had become routine. Some days, Hugo declined, and other times, Ginnie was too busy to respond. Yet, Max persisted in trying to spark something between them.

It didn’t matter how many times he orchestrated these meetings for them. However, Hugo still pursued Kiara, despite Max’s relentless warnings about her. And now, at Nina’s wedding, poor Ginnie had to pretend she was unaffected.

"Do they think what I’m doing is easy?" Max lamented, his heart heavy with bitterness. "I have to suppress my own feelings so she can be happy. But damn it!"

He drowned his sorrow with wine, feeling overwhelmed. His heart ached knowing he had chosen Ginnie’s happiness over his own desire to pursue her. For him, her happiness was his happiness, but so was her despair.

While Max drowned his sorrow, Hugo nudged Dean. "Hey, is he alright?"

Dean, sipping his wine, raised an eyebrow at Hugo, glancing at Max, who seemed to be drinking more than was wise.
