Chapter 505

The next second, Sarah yanked her hand away like she had touched something scorching hot. Her hazy eyes stared at him in suspicion.

"Are you... the big bad guy?"

Zachary frowned slightly before realizing-she was talking about him.

He let out a sigh and, with a hint of indulgence in his voice, said, "Yes, I'm the big bad guy. And I've come to take you home."

"No, I've got no home to return to..." she murmured.

His gaze darkened slightly, and his voice softened even more. "Sasa, you do have a home."

She muttered something incoherent, then suddenly mumbled, "Big bad guy, I don't need you. Go take care of your Miss Wilson."

Her words were slurred, her eyes half-closed, her thoughts drifting aimlessly.

Zachary knew she was completely drunk. Without another word, he gently pulled her up. "I'll take you home."

He led her out of the bar, but when he tried to help her into the backseat of his car, she resisted.

Shaking her head furiously, she plopped down onto the pavement, refusing to get in.

Tears welled up in her eyes, and she looked up at him, pitiful and aggrieved.

In that instant, Zachary felt his heart soften into nothing.

He crouched down and helped her up again. "Alright, no car then. Your place isn't too far. How about we walk?"
