The Queen They Buried

Chapter 492

Bowen stared at Aubree, who was clutching her wine glass and refusing to let go. He curved his lips into a smile and set his glass of red wine aside. “You’re drunk.”

When Aubree got drunk, she turned into a completely different person from her usual self.

Normally, she was sharp and sensible, but once she had a few drinks, she became clingy, unreasonable, and all her intelligence just flew out the window.

“No, I’m not drunk,” Aubree mumbled, pursing her lips.

She thought, ‘Bowen is the absolute worst. He is smiling at me like that, but he is not letting me drink and still grinning. What’s so funny? He is so annoying.

Aubree smacked Bowen right across the face, glaring at him fiercely. “Don’t laugh!”

Bowen was taken aback. The slap wasn’t hard enough to hurt, but he hadn’t expected Aubree to be so cute when she was drunk.

He let out a muffled laugh, barely managing to stop himself under Aubree’s “threatening” glare.

Bree, do you want a drink?” Bowen coaxed softly.

“Yeah,” Aubree answered right away.

“Only good girls get to drink,” Bowen said.

Aubree instantly sat up straight, chin lifted, her whole face saying, “I’m being good!”
