Reclaiming Her Heart

Chapter 836 Ashbourne Manor

"Raymond, dude, cut it out with the booze. You're gonna be plastered if you keep this up." Alex tried to step in, shooting a look at Paul and the usually silent Victor. "Come on, you guys, back me up here. Don't leave me hanging." Paul was still scrolling through songs, not even looking up. "Never had my heart broken, can't relate. Let him drink, getting wasted might help."

Out of the four of them, none had ever been in a serious relationship.

Victor was always too busy to bother.

Alex, on the other hand, would hook up with any pretty girl he met, no strings attached. It was just a mutual thing.

Raymond, who seemed the most chill, was actually the one who fell the hardest.

So Alex gave up, watching Raymond chug three bottles back-to-back.

Afterwards, he took it upon himself to get everyone home.

"I wanna go to Ashbourne Manor." Raymond slumped in his seat, staring blankly ahead. "That's where we used to live together."

Alex knew the place, so he drove there without a second thought.

By the time they got there, it was already 1 AM.

He rang the doorbell and shot a text to Selena: [Penny, Raymond's hammered and wants to see you. He's at the gate of Ashbourne Manor. I'm leaving him here; you deal with it.] After sending the message, Alex really left Raymond at the gate and took off.

Raymond stood there alone, leaning against the wall, until Fiona came out with some people after getting the message.
