Chapter 650 Drunkenness
Johan Niles originally didn’t want to walk with Lucas Chambers holding him half-hugged like that, but seeing Connor also wrapped in an embrace, he could only endure the awkwardness and walk out wordlessly.Fortunately, the colleagues in the hospital were all smiling and greeting them. No one found it odd; instead, they admired them, thinking that the brotherly bond among the three was great.
They went to a barbecue place, ordered a bunch of skewers, and some beers, eating, drinking, and chatting away.
Johan Niles became completely happy; having someone to eat and drink with is one of life’s great joys!
He enthusiastically poured drinks for Lucas Chambers, watching with amazement as Lucas drank one cup after another with an unchanged expression.
Truly impressive drinking skills!
Johan Niles was drawn in as well, downing several cups in succession, and his fair skin started turning red.
Connor glanced at him and shook his head in resignation.
Lucas really wasn’t bluffing; he could drink thousand cups without getting drunk, while Johan Niles didn’t manage to get Lucas drunk but had already gotten himself drunk.
Connor drank very little; he had to go back and take care of Natalie Niles, always needing to stay alert and clear-headed as alcohol can dull the mind.
The three of them ate for more than an hour before parting, with Johan Niles already drunk under the table.
Connor said matter-of-factly to Lucas Chambers, "I’m heading back, I’ll leave Johan to you, look at how you got him hammered!"
Lucas Chambers felt quite wronged, "How did I get him drunk? Haven’t you seen me stopping him from drinking? He just wouldn’t listen!"
Connor didn’t care and handed over Johan Niles to him before going to settle the bill and leaving directly.
His woman was still waiting for him at home, not knowing if she was famished.
Her injuries were so severe that her movements were greatly impeded, her eyes couldn’t see, and staying home alone really worried him, making him want to rush back immediately.
But he couldn’t refuse Lucas Chambers’ request for dinner; otherwise, a single man eager to head home and not joining the meal with brothers would appear quite strange.
Now, at last, he could leave!
Connor stood on the street and looked back at the barbecue restaurant.
Through the window, Lucas Chambers had one arm around Johan Niles’ waist supporting him to stand, while his other hand was patting Johan’s face, seemingly trying to wake him up a little.
Johan’s face was red like a cooked shrimp, constantly mumbling something to Lucas Chambers.
Connor smirked mischievously, inexplicably finding the scene quite ambiguous, maybe it would be a lively night?
He hailed a taxi, and as he was driving home, when he got to the street in front of the villa, he could distinctly feel someone observing him, watching his villa.
When he reached the door, several bodyguards came forward to report: "Brother Connor, there are four people around in ambush, someone tried to break into the villa but we stopped them. They are quite skilled, if it comes to a forceful entry, we might not be able to win."
"Don’t worry, they won’t force their way in."
Connor patted his subordinate’s shoulder, "Swap the shifts, you guys take a break, have Jace and the others keep watch."
Among these four people, there must be some brought by Lucas Chambers; Lucas would never let his men break into his house.
If Lucas’ men won’t break in, neither would spies from any agency; both sides maintain a very delicate balance.
However, since Lucas’ people are here, his lie about his home being small with no space to sleep might quickly be exposed.
He must hide Natalie Niles somewhere safe to prevent Lucas from wanting to visit tomorrow and exposing her.
Lucas couldn’t care less about whether Connor’s house was big or small now; he helped Johan Niles out of the barbecue place and waited for his troops to come pick them up.
Drunk Johan Niles became exceptionally chatty, clinging onto Lucas’ neck refusing to let go, attracting quite a few gazes from the people in the shop and on the street.
Lucas sighed helplessly, "If you keep this up, my reputation is going to be ruined because of you."
