MY GORGEOUS WIFE IS AN EX-CONVICT

Chapter 22

Toward the end, Claire felt that her mind was in mess. She was having difficulty controlling her hands and feet. Even her voice began to stutter.

“Join me for a drink…” When her glass was once again filled to the brim with wine, she shakily presented the glass of wine in front of him with a bright smile.

Looking at her, he knew that she was now drunk.

He had seen her drunk once in the past. However, it was not the same as this time.

Back then, he did not like anyone else touching the object of his game.

Now, his gaze was fully focused on her every smile and movement of her brows. He knew that she was drunk and that her behavior now did not carry any meaning, but he still asked, “You want me to drink?”

“Yup.” She nodded her head firmly. “Drinking alone… is so boring. Drink with me, please.”

His brows lifted. Such a cutesy voice would never be heard when she was sober.

“Say it again. Repeat what you said just now.” He lifted his hand and brushed her lips with the tip of his finger.

“Drink with me…” she mumbled. Her almond eyes looked at him with a scarlet gaze.

“Okay…” he softly replied. He used a pampering tone that he had never noticed before.

Isaac took the glass from claire and drank from it.

Her smile shone brighter as she reached for the wine bottle to pour herself another glass. She was about to down that as well.

This time, he raised his hand to stop her. “Sis, you’re drunk. You don’t need to drink anymore.”

“Don’t need… to drink anymore?” she mumbled, looking drunk.

“Yes, you don’t need to drink anymore.

“But…” She cocked her head to the side, trying to figure out what she missed out. After some time, she suddenly recalled. “Then… isaac, will you release my… uncle and the rest?”

She completed her sentence in broken pieces.

“I will,” he replied. After all, he had promised her. Since he had seen how she looked like when drunk, then he should fulfill her wishes to let those people go.”

He took the glass from her hand and drank from it.

She must be very drunk. Otherwise, she would not have called him Isaac again.

He just never realized how much he enjoyed hearing her call him isaac The way she gently called him isaac’ made him feel that someone was watching and waiting for him within the darkness that shrouded him.

She smiled again in an extremely sweet manner. Then, she slumped against him as if she had completed her mission. Her arms curled around his neck.isaac, I’m… I’m so sleepy. I feel like… sleeping…”

She mumbled before she fell asleep in his arms.

He looked down at the sleeping beauty in his arms.

When she was sober, she would always be so alert against him. Now that she was asleep, her guards against him could be put down.

“Sis, you look much cuter when you’re drunk,” he mumbled as he lifted his hand to sweep away the stray hairs on her forehead.

Her cheeks were a shade of camel red from all the wine she drank. Her almond eyes were shut, but it emphasized her curved lashes, tiny nose, and supple lips. She looked so attractive right now.

His heart wanted to prove that as it thumped faster.

Isaac lowered his eyelids slightly before he reached for his jacket that was placed aside. He draped it over her body. He then carried her and left the room.

Her face was buried in his embrace as she continued to sleep soundly. When he reached the car park, nathan was already waiting by the car and respectfully opened the car door for them.

Isaac carried claire into the car.

Not far from there, two people were also walking toward the car park. When they witnessed the scene, Blake raised his brows in disbelief.

‘Looks like isaac has a woman now. Looking at the way he’s carrying her so carefully into the car, that woman must have an important place in isaac’s heart.

Alexis who witnessed the same thing had a different thought.

She might not have seen the face of the woman in isaac’s arms, but she saw the pair of shoes that the woman wore. She remembered that claire had the same pair of shoes.

‘Don’t tell me that isaac is carrying claire?!’

She remembered seeing claire and isaac together at claire’s rented house previously. Sudden unrest rose in alexis’s heart.

Isaac’s car left the car park, and alexis also followed Blake into his car.

“Blake, earlier… Was that isaac, president of Landford Group?” alexis asked purposefully.

“Yup, it’s him,” Blake replied dryly.

“Then… Do you know who he was carrying?” She continued to pry.

He turned his head slightly, and his gaze landed on her face. “Why? Are you curious? If you want to know, then why don’t you ask him the next time you see him?”

She did not have the guts to do that! “I’m just being curious and simply asking.” alexis sheepishly smiles.
