Chapter 16 There Seems to Be a Man

“Wait!” Alex quickly stopped Caroline as she was about to end the call.

He calmly lied, “Reuben can’t make it due to some issues.”

Silence enveloped Caroline before she responded, “Alright, send me the address.”

Twenty minutes later, Caroline stepped out of the car at the entrance of Wild Sides.

Both Alex and Lucas were waiting at the club’s entrance, supporting Evan, whose head was hanging low.

Caroline furrowed her brow as she approached. When she noticed the peculiar redness on Evan’s handsome face, she confirmed that he was indeed drunk.

However, she was just 170 centimeters tall. How could she support Evan, who stood at 190 centimeters?

Alex pushed Evan into her arms and asked, “Ms. Shenton, did you meet the woman Evan has been searching for?”

Lowering her gaze, Caroline replied, “Yes, I did.”

Alex smiled and said, “It’s likely because of her that Evan resorted to drinking tonight, though I’m uncertain of the exact reason. Please take him home and take good care of him.”

Suddenly, Caroline’s heart was filled with excruciating pain.

However, that pain seemed slightly less prominent than before.

She offered a faint smile to Alex before she struggled to leave with Evan.

Once they were a distance away, Lucas immediately exclaimed, “Alex, have you lost your mind?”

Alex raised an eyebrow. “What’s the matter?”

Lucas indignantly pointed at Caroline’s retreating figure. “You know very well that Evan drank because of Ms. Shenton, yet you claimed it was because of his first love.”
