Forbidden Love: Angel’s Seduction - Chapter 251
~ At Chou Family Mansion ~
Renz was sitting on his bed while leaning his back on the headrest. He closed his eyes to wash away the dizziness that he was feeling. In his hand, he was still holding the notes written by Alexa.
His mind was in shambles but he tried to remember what happened last night. As far as he could recall, he was drinking with Micaela and his friends in the Starlight Nightclub.
He drank beyond his limits so he got drunk. Then someone asked him to dance, pulling and guiding him on the dance floor. The noise and the crowd made him more drunk.
His memories were fragmented. Renz massaged his temples as he could feel the throbbing headache. The pill didn’t take effect yet.
Renz opened his eyes and looked down to read the notes once again.
[ Drink this med. It will help you feel better. ]
“Was it Selene? Was the person with me last… Selene?” Renz asked himself.
He could remember seeing Selene in the nightclub, pulling him out. They went to the parking lot and he hugged her.
Renz thought Selene was the one who brought him home last night.
Renz’s eyes widened as he remembered kissing someone in his bed.
“Was it Selene?” He asked himself again.
“Or I was just dreaming last night…” he murmured, having complicated feelings. It felt so real, kissing and touching her body. Just thinking about it, his body was becoming hot.
Reading the notes again, Renz shook his head. Someone wrote this note for him so someone came with him. That intimate moment might not be a dream. It happened!
‘Was I so drunk that I imagined Selene. There’s no way Selene would come into that Nightclub. Was it Micaela? Did I make out with her last night because I was too drunk?’ Renz covered his face while thinking about that possibility.
Renz was still figuring out who was the person who brought him home last night when his phone rang. The head butler put his phone on the top of his bedside table.
Renz reached out to answer the phone. It was a call coming from Micaela.
Renz: “Hello, Micaela?”
Micaela: “Renz, where are you? Are you okay? I’ve been calling you last night but you are not answering. I was worried about you. You suddenly disappeared last night, leaving the nightclub without informing us!”
Micaela sounded like a worried girlfriend right now.
‘So… the person is not Micaela.” Renz realized after hearing Micaela’s words. ‘But who was the woman with me last night? Was it really Selene?’ Renz suddenly got his hopes up.
Renz: “I’m sorry. I got drunk so I decided to go home.”
Renz nonchalantly said. His mind was now occupied by Selene. He wanted to call her to confirm whether she came to the nightclub last night or not.
Micaela: “How did you get home? Your car was left in the parking lot.”
Renz: “Oh, I was too drunk to drive so I just grabbed a taxi.”
Renz didn’t know why but he felt like Micaela was asking him too many questions. He didn’t have any obligation to answer all of them truthfully or give her explanations.
Renz: “Micaela, I’m sorry but I have to hang up now. Let’s talk some other time. I need to do something.
Micaela: “O-Okay… I feel relieved since you got home safe and sound.”
Renz ended the call right away. He was about to dial Selene’s number when he heard a knock outside his door.
“Young master, are you awake? May I enter?” It was the voice of their head butler.
“Uncle Santi, go ahead. Come in.” Renz said, allowing the head butler to enter his room.
Uncle Santi entered the room, greeting him with a faint smile. He was holding a tray of food for Renz’s breakfast.
“How’s your feeling now, Young Master?” He asked Renz worriedly.
When Alexa left the mansion last night, Renz continued calling Selene’s name. He was telling her not to leave him. He even cried in his sleep.
The head butler had no idea that Renz and Selene had already broken up. He just thought the two had some arguments because of Renz’s words. He wondered if Renz did something that upset Selene.
“I’m okay now. I’m feeling a little bit of nausea. But I think the med already took effect,” Renz said, reassuring the head butler.
Uncle Santi put the tray of food on top of his bed. “You were so drunk last night, young master. You will feel discomfort because of a hangover. Here… try this hot hangover soup. Eat your breakfast.”
“Thank you, Uncle Santi. Did I give you more hassle last night? I’m sorry about that,” Renz said apologetically while scratching the back of his head.
Uncle Santi let out a soft chuckle. “No need to apologize, young master. It’s understandable that you wanted to have fun once in a while. You didn’t give me any hassle. But I don’t know about your friend. She’s the one who took care of you last night in your drunken state.”
Renz frowned when he heard that. ‘A friend? He said she’s my friend? Not Selene?’
Renz was saddened when he learned that Selene was not the person who brought him home last night.
“Who’s my friend you are referring to, Uncle Santi?” Renz asked him curiously.
“Oh, She’s Miss Alex. That’s what she told me. She’s a beautiful woman just like Lady Selene. Lady Selene seems to know her. She claimed that you and Selene are her friends. She took care of you last night since Selene asked her to do so.”
The frown on Renz’s forehead deepened when he heard that. This was the first time he heard that name. Selene and Renz didn’t have a common friend whose name was Alex.
“Young Master, are you okay? Is there something wrong?” The head butler asked Renz upon noticing his silence. He looked like he was in a deep thought.
Renz shook his head and gave him a small smile.
“Nothing wrong, Uncle Santi. I’m just fine. Thanks again for this breakfast.”
Uncle Santi just smiled at him before saying goodbye.
Renz was lost in his thoughts, wondering about Alex’s identity.
‘Who is that woman? Selene is her friend. But how come I never meet someone in her friend circle whose name is Alex?’
