Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 87

Chapter 87 Enter The Twins, The Illegitimate Children Of The Ridges

After ending the call, Violeta retrieved her phone. She had only used Hayden as an excuse to end the conversation with her brother.

"Thank you. My brother wouldn't have felt at ease without your help," she expressed her gratitude.

Hayden wiped the beer stains off the back of his hand with two tissues and calmly responded, "So you see me as a tool?"

Violeta's gaze momentarily froze. "Huh? No, not at all."

It was then that she realized she had accidentally spilled beer from Hayden's glass.

"Should I pour you another glass?" Violeta picked up the bottle from the table, preparing to pour him more.

Hayden stopped her in time. "Why should I drink so much? This is alcohol, not a tonic."

"Fine."

Reluctantly, Violeta put down the bottle.

Hayden discarded the tissues and glanced at her, asking, "What brand of shampoo do you use? It smells nice."

"You mean the jasmine scent? That's not shampoo, it's essential oil. Do you like it? I can send you the link when I go back."

At that moment, Zoren, with flushed cheeks from drinking, approached them. "What essential oil? Are you guys going for a massage later?" Violeta covered her nose. "Ew, you stink!"

Zoren leaned closer and sniffed himself. "I don't! How can you say that, Vio? Come, smell me. Say I don't stink!"

He leaned forward to let Violeta smell his arm, but before he could get close to her, Hayden firmly grabbed his hand.

The pain made Zoren's eyes much clearer!

"Ouch! Hade, you really went all out, huh? Are we still buddies?"

Zoren pulled back his arm and shook it, wincing in pain.

Hayden asked, "Are you sober now?"

Jasper and Liam walked over to them. "He's asking for trouble, no wonder he's called a contemptible wretch."

Liam added, "That's right. Of course, Hade won't go easy on him."

Zoren turned his head and glared at them, "What are you guys bickering about?"

Jasper and Liam stuck out their tongues at Zoren.

When the two of them started acting silly, Zoren walked over, elbowing them and kicking their butts.
