“To be honest, although Nora has been with us the past few days, she seems downcast and unenthusiastic. But now, she’s finally let loose. Let’s have a good drink today to celebrate Nora’s successful divorce and her return to the single life!”
“Come on, come on, we’re not going home until we’re drunk!”
With a smile. Lenora poured herself a glass of wine. “Well then, I’ll accompany you till the end.”
The three of them were engaged in conversation, sipping from one drink to the next.
Sophia was half–drunk, her words becoming less guarded. “Nora…burp….I knew all along that Zachary was no good… How could you put up with him for so long? If it were me, I would have kicked him to the curb ages ago. Wouldn’t it be better to use the breakup fee to support a couple of male models?”
“Come on, come on, let me show you my treasure. Shh.. don’t speak of this outside, I’ve never… never shown it to anyone else…”
Sophia, in a tipsy state, unlocked her phone’s encrypted album. “Look, these are all online heartthrobs that I’ve painstakingly collected. Check out this one, his pecs are huge, even bigger than mine…”
“And this one, look at its shape here, d’mn, it’s really something else…”
“This one… This is the perkiest butt I’ve ever seen…”
“With so many types to choose from, there’s bound to be one you’ll like. As for Tyrant Fuller, just forget about him!”
As Sophia introduced the male idols, each of her statements grew bolder than the one before.
Lenora’s face flushed, a sight that Fiona found particularly intriguing.
Lenora’s gaze was also drawn out of curiosity. However for some unknown reason, every time she looked at a photograph, she would subconsciously compare it to Zachary,
For instance, Zachary’s chest was well defined and firm Zachary was… naturally quite impressive at a length of eighteen centimeters. As for Zachary’s behind…
Lenora’s face grew even redder, hurriedly shaking her head, attempting to dispel her inappropriate thoughts.
After viewing photos of so many men, she still thought Zachary was the most perfect.
Some were overly muscular, built like a bear, while others were too slender, their muscles lacking any aesthetic appeal. However, Zachary’s physique was just right.
There were some who matched Zachary in physique, but they couldn’t quite compare to him in terms of looks.
She had clearly resolved to forget him, yet under the influence of alcohol, she found herself completely

The image of his face kept surfacing in her mind over and over again. Despite her determined attempts to dismiss it, she just couldn’t.
It would all be better once she was drunk.
Only when she was completely drunk, could she forget him.
Consider it her f
final act of intoxication for Zachary, a toast to her decade–long unrequited love that had quietly come to an end.
Unbeknownst to them, Zachary, who was by the side, had already turned livid.
Sophia couldn’t help but feel a chill surrounding her. She murmured to herself, “Isn’t the heater on? Why do I still feel a bit cold?”
After she finished speaking, she returned to the main topic. “How about we hit the bar tonight and try our luck? The North Epean folks are pretty interesting. I guarantee they’ll make you forget all about Tyrant
Fuller…”
Upon hearing those words, Zachary’s face instantly turned ashen.
Fortunately, he heard Lenora say, “Never mind about that…”
She felt that she couldn’t let herself go that far, also fearing she might catch a disease.
Zachary’s complexion had finally regained some color,
Sophia didn’t bring it up again, the trio continued their drinking and chatting, with the conversation revolving around the pictures on Sophia’s phone.
Lenora felt her head spinning after the drink, her instincts warning her that she couldn’t drink anymore. She was certain that another sip would send her spiraling into a drunken stupor.
Living in a foreign land, it was always better to stay vigilant.
She gently reminded Sophia and Fiona, suggesting that the three of them should share a cab back home.
In the car, Lenora was drifting in and out of consciousness, almost falling asleep.
Upon returning to her room, Lenora couldn’t wait to collapse onto the bed and inunediately fell into at deep sleep.
The room fell into a deep, hushed silence, cloaked in dim light.
Suddenly, the stillness was broken by the creak of a door opening and closing.
Zachary approached the cool edge of Lenora’s bed and gently took a seat.
Under the glow of the moonlight, he greedily admired her serene sleeping face.
At that moment, he could finally look at her openly, without any restraint, gazing directly into her eyes.

He truly missed her.

Zachary slowly reached out, gently caressing her cheek. He leaned over and planted a kiss on her forehead, unabashedly inhaling her scent–of course, all he could smell was alcohol.
This little drunkardi
Zachary gently pinched her lukewarm nose.
Thankfully, she hadn’t agreed to go to the bar. Otherwise, he couldn’t trust what he might have done!
The room was heated, yet Lenora was still bundled up in a thick cotton jacket. As she began to sweat from the heat, she let out an uncomfortable grunt, unconsciously tugging at her clothes.
Zachary unzipped the jacket, gently peeling her out of the down coat. He then helped her remove the sweater she wore underneath, followed by the thick leggings on her lower body.
She was left with only her thermal underwear on.
Unsure if it was due to the alcohol or the heat, her face was flushed a deep red. Her lips, rosy and slightly parted, revealed a set of pearly white teeth. Unconsciously, a soft hum escaped from her.
The thermal underwear she wore closely outlined the graceful curves of her body, accentuating alluring charm to an irresistible degree.

Zachary initially had no ulterior motives, he simply wanted to make her feel more comfortable.
But now, his breath was gradually becoming heavier, his mouth parched and tongue dry, his gaze and his mind was a complete blank.
fixed.
Especially when she would occasionally hum, it sounded like fuel being added to a fire in Zachary’s ears, growing more and more intense.
Unaware, Lenora turned over, shifting to his side, revealing the contours of her waistline in full display.
Zachary held his breath, unable to resist any longer, he turned Lenora over, leaned down and kissed her enticingly soft, rosy lips, effortlessly exploring them.
A sweet taste of wine graced his lips, a sensation he hadn’t experienced in a long time. Zachary couldn’t. help but lose himself in the intoxicating flavor, savoring her delectable essence.
“Um-”
Lenora’s complexion grew increasingly flushed, her breaths coming in short pants. She felt uncomfortable and opened her eyes, pushing at the person on top of her. “Zachary?”
Zachary froze all over, opening his eyes to find himself in close proximity with Lenora. Their gazes locked. in an intimate exchange.
He hadn’t expected Lenora to actually wake up and was about to explain.
To his surprise, Lenora closed her eyes again, murmung, “Why am I dreaming of you?… I don’t want to dream about you at all…”

Zachary was seething with anger, gritting his teeth. Seeing Lenora about to say something more, he leaned in, silencing her with a kiss. His lips met hers, roughly biting and sucking, his tongue taking command within her mouth, stealing her breath away.
“Mmm mmm-
His scorching breath fanned across her cool face, making her increasingly feverish. Unable to control herself, she tugged at her clothes.
Her collar was pulled down, revealing her modesty with a hint of shyness.
Zachary’s eyes burned red as memories of their intensely passionate moments over those three years flooded his mind. The dormant dragon within him stirred, eager to awaken after its long slumber.
He had kissed her cool check, then called out to her as he playfully nibbled on her delicate, fair earlobe.
Lenora gave an affirmative grunt, her body shuddering
Zachary’s heated lips trailed down her neck, slowly moving to her collarbone, then lower toward her chest. lifting her clothes.
Lenora let out an uneasy groan and, without thinking, mumbled, “Nellie, don’t bite..”
Zachary’s body stiffened, abruptly lifting his head. He asked in a deep voice, “Who is Nellie?”
