Steal my heart by Savannah Kade

Chapter 210 Three Years for Three Years vs a Defamation Post on a Forum

Humbert was feeling very shocked and his feelings were indescribable. He was listening to his best friend squabbling nonsense, "If only I didn't drop my phone...", "If only I didn't move the nightstand away when I picked up my phone..." Humbert had a clear image in his mind, his best friend moved the nightstand away when he was trying to pick up his phone, and accidentally came across this hidden secret. "If only I didn't drop my phone..."

"If only I didn't pick up my phone..."

Humbert clenched his fist, he was getting annoyed listening to his best friend repeating the disheartening "If only..." again and again. Caden was like a useless and dispirited middle-aged man whose wife had left him and whose son had died. Humbert felt like punching his best friend and beat the sense out of him. But he couldn't do it.

"If only... If only I realized it sooner!" The whole time, Caden was very pessimistic, he was acting like a coward and was just running away from his problems, giving himself excuses. Finally, he cried out what he was really feeling deep down!

If only he realized it sooner, would the situation right now have changed?

Would his lovely wife be right next to him, along with his sweet children?

Humbert looked at Caden, his best friend of many years. He never saw Caden in this state before.

Humbert's eyes flickered, he stood up abruptly and strode towards the exit.

Wilson was a worker who fulfilled his duty well and was rule-abiding. He waited outside of the corridor which was 3 to 4 meters away from the room. Humbert walked out of the room and saw Wilson, he said emotionlessly, "Follow me."

Wilson hesitated briefly, but Humbert walked pass him without a pause. Wilson glanced at Caden's room, he gritted his teeth and decided that he had no choice but to turn around and follow Humbert. "Mr. White, where are we going?"

Wilson followed Humbert downstairs, seeing that Humbert didn't even slow down his pace, Wilson quickly ran after him. But Humbert quickened his pace, he was silent the whole time and finally stopped in front of a small door.

"This..."

What beneath this was...

Wilson knew that Humbert was familiar with the Shaw manor, he could only follow behind Humbert. They walked down the winding stairs that led to the basement.

The stairway was dark and it led directly towards the basement. The basement was lighted with warm yellow lights that weren't too bright, the basement also had a strong alcohol smell to it.

Humbert didn't hesitate, he walked towards the end of the wine rack and took one bottle of wine after another, he shoved it into Wilson arms until he couldn't hold anymore. Humbert then held 4 bottles of wine himself, he still wasn't saying anything, he just turned around and left.

Wilson didn't understand what was going on at all, all he could just follow behind Humbert. They both reappeared in front of Caden's bedroom, Humbert kicked the door open and threw the wine bottles that he was holding on the bed. He was rough and didn't care that his action might easily break the wines that probably cost a fortune.

"Wilson, put done those wines and you can take your leave."

"But Mr. White, the master is..."

"Put down those wine and get out. I will take responsibility for whatever that happens, if he dies, I'll die with him." Humbert glared harshly and coldly at the butler, Wilson was having cold sweat as he gritted his teeth because he was responsible for Caden. Humbert was a respected and prestige person, but even with his promise Wilson wasn't assured, it wasn't his principal to walk away like this.

Humbert quietly held out his hand and took the wine bottles away from Wilson's hand seeing that he wasn't going to do what he said. He threw them onto the bed, the bottles were hitting each other and the noise they made give people the shivers.

Wilson was driven out of the room by Humbert as he was pondering about what should he say. Before he could even react, the door slammed shut right in front of his face heartlessly.

Humbert's expression was frigid. In the room, he quietly took the two bottles of whiskeys on the bed and twisted them open. He held out his hand and gave one bottle to the haggard Caden who was sitting on the floor by the bedside, "Come, I'll drink with you."

Though Caden kept looking at his palm in a daze as if he didn't hear Humbert at all.

Humbert squinted at Caden who was right next to him, he straightened out his leg and used his feet to kick him, "Hey, drink."

If Humbert were to do something forceful and insulting like this towards Caden normally, Caden would beat him up already. Not to mention that Caden was a prideful man, an average person wouldn't stand up to another person kicking them like that. But the Caden right now just wouldn't react to anything.
