Chapter 759 - The Right Woman In The Wrong Time (1/2)

”I'm sorry for crying again ... I promise, this is the last time. Thank you for staying with me for the past few days. I'm indebted to you forever,” Marie whispered.

When Nicolae heard how Marie repeatedly mentioned the word debt, he felt uncomfortable. Nicolae did not like that Marie kept thinking she was now indebted to him. For him, what he did was just common decency.

However, he held back and said nothing. At present, he thought words were not important and are of no use. He only wanted Marie to be able to vent all remaining sadness so that the girl was relieved.

It was night when they both returned to the land. For a moment, Marie and Nicolae stood awkwardly. They had accomplished their goals today. Mrs. Lu had been cremated, and her ashes had been scattered into the sea. Now, they no longer had anything to do with each other.

”What can I do for you now?” Nicolae asked softly, staring at Marie, who was sitting pensively on the passenger seat of his car.

His voice was soothing, and his eyes gave Marie comfort. For a moment, she was dazed when their eyes met.

”I need a drink. Today was especially really hard,” Marie said quietly.

”Fine. We can stop by the Sky Bar if you want,” Nicolae said.

”Yes, please.” Marie nodded.

He agreed with Marie. Today was a pretty hard day. He had not been in such a situation so intense for the past three days.

Because he was driving, Nicolae knew that he could not drink much. He had to make sure that the two of them could go home safely to their apartment on Robertson Road.

When they arrived at Sky Bar, Nicolae asked for a table hidden in a corner so they could get privacy. He actually didn't like women who drink a lot, but he knew tonight was an exception because Marie just lost her only parent.

Nicolae will allow the grieving girl to vent her sadness by drinking wine or c.o.c.ktails to calm down. After all, he would make sure Marie would stay safe.

”You don't want to drink?” Marie asked when she saw Nicolae only ordering juice.

Nicolae shook his head, ”No, I'm driving.”

”How about just one glass?” Marie offered. ”It sucks drinking alone. If we stay here and drink for an hour or two, when we go home later, the effects of the alcohol you drink would wear off.”

Nicolae wanted to refuse, but seeing tears dripped her cheeks, finally, he relented. The girl was right, he thought. Drinking one small glass now won't have much effect on him when they went home later. And if he was uncomfortable driving, he could always activate the driverless mode in his car.
