Chapter 21 Giving Someone Away

At this moment, a figure quietly entered and changed the positions of a few glasses of wine.

After finally pulling Bailey back from the crowd of onlookers, Xavier hinted to Julia to quickly let Bailey drink.

Julia immediately picked up the wine in front of Bailey and herself. She said angrily, “Although you’ve misunderstood me, I’m not angry anymore. Why don’t we finish this wine in one gulp and forget about this matter? Can we?”

Zachary’s voice sounded in her ear. “Don’t worry and drink.”

“Okay!” Bailey’s lips curled up slightly. She took the wine from Julia’s hand and finished it in one gulp.

Julia instantly heaved a sigh of relief and drank the wine in her hand.

Xavier’s body, which had been stiff from nervousness, slowly relaxed. He looked at Bailey with smugness in his eyes and he finished the wine in his glass in one gulp, his heart filled with joy.

Zachary, who was watching the surveillance camera, could not control his urge to beat Xavier up even though he had already tried his best to suppress his emotions.

On the other end, Xavier called for Bailey to eat quickly lest the food turned cold.

At the side, Julia ate her food silently. From time to time, she would look up and peek at the two people who were obviously affectionate to each other. Her heart was filled with jealousy.

Thereafter, something seemed to have happened to Julia’s body. A hot stream of air slowly spread out from her lower abdomen, making her body go limp.

On the other hand, Xavier also felt a slight change in his body. He thought that the medicine must have taken effect. He looked up at Bailey and felt that the medicine should have had an effect on her as well.

Xavier was about to hint to Julia to find a chance to leave when Julia couldn’t hold her chopsticks any longer and fell limply onto the table.

Bailey looked frightened. She quickly got up and shook Julia, who was already in a daze. Then, she turned to Xavier and said, “Julia must be drunk. I’ll send her back first.”

Bailey was about to say something when she fell onto the chair too.

Xavier quickly went to help Bailey up and looked at Julia in disdain.

Bailey quickly pushed Xavier and said, “Don’t worry about me first. Bring Julia back first. No, no. Get a hotel room for her nearby. If she goes back like this, she will definitely be scolded by my second uncle and second aunt.”

Xavier frowned and refused. “How could I leave you here alone? Aren’t you a little drunk too? I’ll send you to the hotel first before picking her up.”

Xavier estimated that the effects of the medicine were about to hit. He could not waste time here.

Fortunately, there was a hotel beside this private restaurant. It was a good time for him and Bailey to settle their matters first, so he would just leave Julia here first.

In the end, Bailey pushed Xavier away and said angrily, “I told you, bring Julia to rest first. You can look for me later. Julia is the most important, do you understand?”

Xavier staggered from Bailey’s push. He still wanted to approach her, but she was unwilling. She even looked like she wanted to hit him.

Xavier had no choice but to help Julia up. Then, he said to Bailey, “Then don’t leave here, do you understand?”

Bailey nodded impatiently. Seeing that Bailey had not completely lost consciousness, Xavier helped Julia out. He wanted to move quickly and send Julia to the hotel first. Then, he could follow the plan and spend time with Bailey in this room.

As soon as Xavier left, Bailey’s misty eyes woke up. She held her chopsticks and continued to eat the dishes on the table. To be honest, these dishes were quite delicious.

Zachary’s mocking voice sounded in her ear. “Bailey, are you stupid? You’re still thinking about eating at a time like this. Aren’t you afraid that there’s still medicine in the food?”

As Bailey ate happily, she said indifferently, “What are you afraid of? Aren’t you still watching? With you around, I’m very relieved. I don’t think you’ll watch your spoils of war be dragged away by others, right?”

Initially, Zachary was quite happy with the first sentence, which meant that Bailey trusted him. However, when he heard the next sentence, Zachary could not help but curse inwardly. As expected, this woman was scheming. She was definitely going to win him over.

Zachary watched as the anxious Xavier booked a room in the hotel beside the restaurant and hurriedly brought Julia to find the room. “Are you sure Xavier won’t come out to look for me? What if he’s clear-headed and comes back after settling Julia down?” Bailey questioned vaguely as she bit the food in her mouth.
