Chapter 208 She Doesn’t Want to See Me Again

The treasure boxes on the top floor were much better than the ones downstairs. These antiques had to
be carefully taken care of since they were all treasures and could be destroyed by the slightest
mistake. Unlike the ones downstairs, those on the upper floor were real antiques. They were kept in
glass cases with the names and history of the antiques affixed to them.

Ainsley and Manuel browsed on the top floor for a long time and finally bought an antique.

After leaving, Ainsley looked at Manuel in surprise for a long time. “Why are you helping me?”

“I’m helping both your family and myself.” Manuel’s eyes were deep and gloomy.

Ainsley did not ask much. She figured that it had things to do with profits,

It was the fact that the Wade family and the Gage family went way back. However, it didn’t mean
Manuel was happy to see the Wade family surpass the Gage family.

After sending Ainsley home, Manuel returned home as well.

Roman had been restless all day in Pearl Hotel. Lainey’s appearance kept emerging in his mind.

He couldn’t remember what had happened at his place that night. Yet he could remember Lainey’s
slightly flushed face, which was alluring and charming.

“Roman, why are you in a daze?” Manuel asked.

Roman came back to his senses and handed the soup in his hands to Manuel. “I’m not. I wasn’t
thinking about anything.”

Manuel looked at Roman doubtfully and thought, I didn’t ask you anything, did I?



Manuel pulled a solemn face, and right now, he didn’t have time to probe further into Roman’s matter.
Ainsley’s cold face occupied Manuel’s mind. Although she had been less hostile to him after they went
to Ink Garden, what he wanted was far more than that.

Manuel took the soup and left, while Roman slumped in a chair. Roman had been absent minded all
day today. He thought, perhaps I’ve been too bored, and after that night with Lainey, I couldn’t get over
her.

This is not normal. In all my years, I’ve never missed a woman this much. I can’t stop thinking about
her.

Late at night, Roman went to a club to get drunk again.

His friends were all in the dance pool, swaying, and the neon lights were constantly spinning. After
drinking a few glasses of wine, he felt dizzy already.

“Roman, drinking here is so boring. Why don’t you dance with us?”

Roman poured himself another glass of wine. “I’ll pass. You guys go ahead.”

Soon, he was wasted and fell on the seat while murmuring Lainey’s name non-stop. Seeing him like
this, his friends. were a bit worried.

Having finished her work at the factory, Lainey drove home. She had never taken the Salter Group
seriously, and she had never shared her family’s burdens.

It was only after she went to the factory and stayed there for a while that she knew how tough life was
for Jaydan.

She was exhausted. She was just about to open the door and enter when she was stopped.



“Ms. Salter, can you not go yet?” A strange man stopped her.

Lainey took a deep breath and suddenly remembered the bad memories of that day. She was relieved
to see that the man’s eyes were harmless. “What is it?”

The man hurriedly said, “Roman is drunk and has been calling your name. Can you come with me to
see him?”

“No!” Lainey refused decisively, opened the door, and was about to leave. Even hearing Roman’s name
terrified her now. She didn’t mean what happened that day, and she believed it was the same for
Roman as well. He must be as

regretful now as she was.

Yet when she was about to enter the door, Roman showed up, st*ggering, and grabbed her hand.
“Lainey, don’t go!”

Similar to Lainey that day, he also had blushed cheeks right now.

He was reeking of alcohol, and Lainey pushed him away in disgust. “Roman, what are you doing
here?”

A storm of fragments of memory came upon her, and memories that she did not want to recall came to
her and kept playing in her mind.

“Lainey, don’t go.” Roman had a splitting headache.

His friend said to Lainey, “Ms. Salter, he is yours now.”

As soon as they finished speaking, they ran off. Lainey gawked at them in shock. “You…”



Just as she was about to leave, Roman grabbed her arm. She was dumbfounded and pushed him
away. “You… What are you doing?”

“You want to leave just like that? You took advantage of me. Are you running away from your
responsibilities?”

Roman held her arm tightly.

“Which one of us is the one taking advantage here?” Lainey wished she could push him to the ground.
She thought, I

am the victim here, OK?

Roman clutched her arm, unwilling to let go.

Lainey looked around and was very worried. She thought, we are at my family’s downstairs. What if my
parents see

us?

“What do you want to do? Let go of me!”

Lainey awkwardly pushed away Roman’s hand and hurriedly entered the building.

Manuel drove out of Matteo’s place with the soup dejectedly, He tried to give it to Ainsley, but she sent
him home

without even opening the door.

He thought that after their trip to Ink Garden, Ainsley would treat him better. Yet he was wrong.



He went home with the soup in frustration. To his surprise, he saw Roman lying on the ground in front
of his place.

He frowned and helped Roman up. “Roman, wake up.”

He smelled a strong odor of alcohol on Roman and knew that Roman was drunk. But why did Roman
come to him?

“Manuel, you’re back.” Roman slowly opened his eyes.

Roman held Manuel’s hand and slowly stood up, walking unsteadily. “Manuel, drunk with me.”

Roman was not satisfied with how drunk he was. He wanted to be completely unconscious. In such a
way, he could no longer remember Lainey’s appearance.

Coincidentally, because of Ainsley, Manuel was upset as well. He said softly, “OK.”

Late at night, Manuel and Roman sat on the sofa in the open air with wine bottles on the table. They
did not even need

glasses.

Manuel smiled bitterly and said, “What happened to you? Something to do with relationships?”

Roman trembled, even including his hand holding the bottle. He laughed and said, “That’s ridiculous!
Only fools are trapped by love.”



Manuel took another sip. “I can’t think of anything else besides this.”

“What about you? You are not in a good mood today. Are you still quarreling with Ms. Easton?” Roman
said in a daze.

Manuel pursed his thin lips and smiled aloof, “It’s not a quarrel, technically. It’s probably true that she
doesn’t want to see me again…”

Manuel’s eyes dimmed, and there was a rare fatigue in his eyes.

The two drank ceaselessly. They were drinking beer, which failed to satisfy Roman. He grabbed a
bottle of red wine from Manuel’s wine cabinet and poured the dark red liquid into the glass. The wine
was full of a bitter, sweet smell

with a rich scent.

Red wine was supposed to be savored, yet Roman only wanted to get wasted. He drank it all in one
gulp, and the liquid slid down his throat in an instant. The wine tasted s*icy and dry, and he coughed
hard.

After the second glass, he finally fell drunk on the sofa, and the glass slipped from his hand and fell to
the ground, which was luckily grass.
