“He came back and went out again after greeting us. Call him and ask if he’s coming back for dinner,” Aurora said. “Okay, I’ll contact him.” Cecelia dialed Remington’s phone. The call went through, but no one answered. She had to send him a text message asking if he would come back for dinner. After the message was sent, she didn’t get a reply from him. Cecelia couldn’t help but worry. She contacted Fredric and learned from Fredric that Remington was drinking with his friends at Grande Club and wouldn’t go back to the Nelson Residence for dinner. “Aunt Snow, Remington is with his friends and won’t come back for dinner. Let’s have dinner first!” “Okay.” … At Grande Club. Remington got together with Sam, Jimmy, Rupert, and Jonathan, the owner of Gleam Gallery. There was also a fashionably dressed woman in the box. She was Sam’s sister, Fiona. Fiona majored in fashion design abroad and just returned home today. Her brother Sam booked a box at Grande Club to welcome her back and invited Remington and other friends to come over. Fiona was the little princess of the Cosby family, who always got what she wanted. She used to like Remington, but was stopped by Sam. After all, Remington only had Lilian in mind at that time, and Sam didn’t want his sister to waste her time on Remington. “Do you have any plans for coming back this time? Maybe you can work in our company, and I arrange a job for you.” Sam asked his sister. “My major is fashion design. I don’t need your help. I want to find a job on my own.” “Okay, whatever you want.”
Sam didn’t say anything. Fiona glanced at Ariella, the fat girl sitting next to Rupert, and a look of disgust flashed in her eyes. She lowered her voice and asked, “Sam, why does Rupert like that fat girl?” “Everyone has their own preferences. Don’t interfere with his affairs.” Sam said. “What a poor choice of partner.” Fiona sneered coldly and turned her head to Remington, who was sitting on the separate sofa, feeling a little secretly pleased. As the saying goes, those who are close to the water tower get the moon first! Among her brother’s friends, the ultimate rich guy Rupert was taken by the fat girl; Jimmy was the best actor and women’s prince charming, but unfortunately he was too eccentric and cold towards her; Jonathan was too artistic and he spent all day in galleries, so they wouldn’t be temperamentally compatible. Her favorite was Remington, who was handsome, wealthy, and very manly. And he came from a powerful family, making him the perfect husband. She used to like him, but her brother didn’t allow her to pursue Remington. Now that Remington was divorced and she had graduated, her brother should not stop her anymore. At this time, Remington, with a dark face, was drinking from cup to cup. The phone in his chest pocket vibrated from time to time, and he knew who was looking for him, but he didn’t answer it. He wanted to let that woman know how important he was! Seeing Remington like this, Fiona asked her brother, “Remi seems to be in a bad mood. Did he quarrel with his girlfriend?” “I don’t know.” After Sam invited Remington here, Remington didn’t say anything and just drank in silence. His air of being unapproachable made people stay away and not dare to ask questions. Fiona stared at Remington’s profile. The more she looked at him, the more she felt that he was the most attractive one among the men present, and the more she liked him in her heart.
She picked up the glass and walked over, saying sweetly, “Remi, are you feeling down?” Hearing Fiona’s voice, Remington gave her a sidelong glance, but didn’t say anything. “Remi, we haven’t seen each other for three years, right? I studied abroad in Ferndale for three years, and I not only miss home but also miss you guys!” Regardless of whether Remington would listen to her, she continued, “When I was abroad, I heard that you had found a girlfriend. Her name is Cecelia. She also gave birth to three children for you. I really didn’t expect that.” “Not three, but four.” Remington finally spoke up and corrected the number of children. “Oh, yes, four children. Remi, you are very lucky.” Fiona laughed awkwardly. Not far away, Ariella noticed that Fiona was chatting with Remington. She felt a bit depressed that Cece wasn’t there. If she hadn’t heard from Rupert that Cecelia would be coming, she wouldn’t have been tricked into coming. “Cece won’t come, I’m leaving!” Ariella grabbed her bag and was about to leave, but Rupert pulled her back and she fell into his arms. The solid weight was almost too much to bear. Ariella was a little flustered and wanted to get up from his lap as quickly as possible, but unfortunately, her hand touched the wrong place again. “Hiss…” Rupert’s body froze and he gasped, “Fatso Ariella, you–“ “I’m sorry, I don’t mean to…” Ariella turned red and scrambled to get up and run outside, literally running away in terror. “Hey, stop right there!” Rupert ordered her to stop, but she did not listen to him. She was obviously a fat girl, but she ran faster than a rabbit. Rupert could only let his brothers continue to drink, and he ran out to chase after the fat girl.
There were fewer people in the box, so Fiona went to chat with several other handsome men, asking them all kinds of questions. It seemed that she wanted to flirt with every good-looking man except her brother. Remington didn’t know how many cups he had drunk until he got drunk and got up to leave. Seeing his unsteady gait, Sam stepped forward to hold him. “Remington, are you okay? Do you want to go home now?” Remington said in a petulant tone, “No!” “Then go upstairs to the private room and have a rest. I’ll take you up!” Sam guessed that he and Cecelia had a conflict, so he drank to drown his sorrows and didn’t want to go home when he got drunk. Then Remington had to stay at Grande Club tonight. As the two walked outside, Fredric saw Remington come out and asked, “Mr. Nelson, are you finished? Are you going home now?” “I don’t want to go home. Leave me alone!” Seeing Fredric’s face, Remington felt like seeing Jersey at this time. And he vented all the anger that had been bottled up in his belly on Fredric. “Don’t bother me here… I’m annoyed by your sickly appearance… Pretend! Keep pretending…” Fredric was speechless and going to be depressed! Their Mr. Nelson thought he was an eyesore? And Mr. Nelson also said he was sickly? Did he look sickly? He didn’t pretend either! “You guys go downstairs and wait! I’ll take Remington upstairs to rest and let him calm down alone.” Sam helped Remington upstairs. Fredric and the others had to wait in the car. Maybe Mr. Nelson would go back to the Nelson Residence when he sobered up later. After Remington lay down in the private room, Sam returned to the box and continued to drink with his friends. When Fiona saw her brother coming back, she inquired, “Sam, did you send Remi back?”
Sam replied, “No, he’s drunk and resting upstairs in my private room. Don’t bother him!” Fiona nodded without asking any more questions, but she was already making some calculations in her mind. Remington was drunk and lying in her brother’s private room. Wasn’t this a perfect opportunity? Fiona really didn’t want to miss such a great opportunity, and not long after, she took the excuse of going to the bathroom to leave the box while everyone was drinking. She quietly went upstairs and found the service desk on the floor where her brother’s room was located. She asked for the room card under the name of Sam’s sister, “I’m Sam’s sister. My brother asked me to come up and get something. Can you give me the room card?” The room service staff knew their boss’s friends very well. After listening to Fiona say that she was Sam’s sister and checking her ID card, the room service staff handed over a supplementary card to her. Fiona successfully obtained the supplementary card from the room service staff and swiped it to open the door…
