Chapter 266 - Father is here!

Seraphina blinks and sighed heavily at the person who claims to look after her but now sounding asleep on the bar counter.

"*sigh* weakling." Seraphina hissed in between her hiccups. Based on her calculations, Rex won't take long before his arrival. Thus, even though Seraphina was itching to ditched Wren alone, alas, thinking about his seemingly overrated reputation, she might as well guard him and wait for Rex.

Soon, as expected, Rex who's surprisingly still wearing a formal suit without any crease on it arrived. His keen eyes immediately caught the seemingly two drunk kids on the bar stool.

Rex didn't had to exert effort on finding them as the supposed nightclub isn't as lively and wild just like in country y.

Taking stride towards his boss and subordinates stand point, Seraphina was slowly balancing her unbalanced stance while Wren on the other hand was too wasted.

Though they would occasionally catch up over drinks, it is rare to see Seraphina as Luciano getting drunk if not needed. Hence, to him, Rex slightly understood the burden she was carrying getting heavier to the extent that she would asked the help of alcohol.

Sensing that someone approached her, Seraphina raised her head to see Rex blank yet exquisite profile staring back at her. Grinning to her right-hand man, Seraphina let out a few hiccups then shakes the unconscious Wren.

"Psst, father is here." Seraphina seemingly whispered yet, her words still reached Rex as it came out as a shout. Fortunately, Wren was too wasted to know or else, he would be complaining about injuring his ears for sure.

"Hmmm!" Wren only groan to the sudden shaking of his world. Though he was too drunk to know what was happening, he could still feel a turbulent motion that makes him a little nauseous.

"Damnit," Seraphina rolls her eyes then shifts her gaze back on Rex who was silently standing few steps from them, unmoving.

Raising her brows as her face bears the are-you-just-gonna-stand-there expression to Rex which magically made Rex resumed from moving and assisted Wren.

Since Rex is physically fit and was used to lifting weights, it didn't made him exert more effort to carry Wren in his broad shoulders. Seraphina on the other hand refused his helping hand as she can still walk on her own albeit staggering.

On the establishment parking space, Seraphina was about to hitch on the first car she had seen but was halted when Rex grabbed her upperarm.

"Not that." He inexpressive informed which made the drunken Seraphina made and 'o' shaped on her lips as she slowly nods in understanding.

Considering that Seraphina might just break into the next car she will mistaken as their ride, Rex didn't let loose on her upper arm and drag Seraphina slowly so she can keep up. While Wren on the other hand was on his shoulder like a bag without a life. If only they didn't exit the nightclub, they would think that Wren was a corpse --killed by an elegant psychopath.

Soon, they finally reached the specific car. Thanks the heaven and Seraphina was obedient while being dragged by Rex while Wren isn't even worth to mention.

Hitching inside the car, Seraphina perched on the front passenger seat while Rex safeguard Wren on the back seat. Not minding Seraphina fiddling on the radio and turning the radio and listen to whatever ballad song it was playing that Rex don't take interest.

After glancing at Seraphina who was still unbuckled, Rex reminded. "Seat belt"

Alas, Seraphina only hummed along the song resonating from the radio indicating her indirect refusal. Since she already ignored him, Rex started the engine as he already reminded Seraphina -- whether she abide it or not, that's her choice.

Though Rec already knew where Seraphina was living, base on her current state, it's best not to send her to that place. Hence, since he couldn't decide, he inquired. "Boss, where would I drop you off?"

"You decide." Seraphina answered as she repositioned her seat to a more comfortable one and closed her eyes. To her, it really doesn't matter where would Rex take her as she only wanted to rest as she has been lacking sleep.

To this point, Rex already understood what she meant hence, since he already familiarized himself and aimlessly drive the whole day throughout the whole city to know possible in and outs, moreover, scanning the whole neighboring cities and countryside maps -- Rex stepped on his pedal after quickly making a decision.

When morning came, before opening her eyes, Seraphina could hear the sounds of the waves which made her brows knitted even before her eyes cracked open.

Squinting her eyes to adjust her sight to the light, Seraphina subconsciously turn to the opened window and saw the seashore's beautiful morning waves.

Surely, Rex considered and understood her current instability and her mini actions. To think that he did drove all night just for her to unwind made Seraphina appreciate his gesture.

After all, this beach takes at least 4 hours drive from Central City.

Since her attention was in the waves that were not violent but rather lively coming forth and back made the side of her lips curled upward --not noticing a blanket that she didn't remember they had was covering her.

"Urghhh!" Wren groan on the back. By the looks of it, he was experiencing a hangover. Fortunately, Seraphina doesn't seem to experience the worst hangover -- just a mild mind throbbing, nothing more nothing less.
