Maria fiddled with the dice in her hand, a teasing smile forming on herlips.
“After all these years, you still remember this?
Before Alvin could respond, a few of his drunk friends nearby suddenly chimed in loudly, “How could Alvin forget? When you two were dating, this sentimental fool only had eyes for you!”
Hearing this, Alvin instinctively tumed to glance at Ira, and his expression darkened. He immediately snapped at them, “If you’re drunk, go sober up! Stop saying nonsense!
The men were startled and paled, suddenly realling that bra was present. They quickly tried to smooth things over..
“Drink less, the game isn’t over yet!–
“Come on, nest round!”
The frozen atmosphere finally
ally returned to normal.
After suppressing his emotions, Alvin returned to the sofa and picked up a glass of juice, offering it to Ira.
Ira didn’t say anything, nor did she ask any questions. She simply took the glass and sipped it quietly.
Her calm demeanor seemed to unsettle Alvin, making him feel uneasy.
He was about to explain when another round of muckus empted from behind them.
“Marialost! I’ll draw! I’ll draw!”
“Let me see.. the card says it’s a truth question. If possible, would you get back together with your ex?”
The room fell silent as Maria’s gaze turned to Alvin. She smiled and then spoke slowly,
“Never Ever Again.”
Those four words dropped like stones, and the entire room’s atmosphere dropped to freezing point,
No dor
one dared to speak
Maria, however, seemed unfazed. She casually demanded to start a new round of the game.
While the group reluctantly played along with her, they kept stealing glances at Alvin, who was sitting them, his face dark and nearly ready to blow up. They didn’t dare make a sound.
In the latest round, Maria lost again
When it came time for her to accept her punishment, Alvin could no longer control himself. He grabbed her hand and stormed out of the room.
The people at the table seemed to have expected this, so no one asked any questions, They just went on with their own games.
But fra, through the large windows, could see the two figures arguing outside and hear the heated, muffled voices of their confrontation.
Watching this, a complicated emotion flashed in Ira’s eyes.
Inheribemory, Alvin had always been indifferent, with a lazy, nonchalant smile hanging on his face.
After knowing him for eight years, this was the first time she saw him completely lose control-
And it was all because of Maria’s words, “Never again.”
It seemed that when you were not loved, everyone was equally pathetic.
Eventually, the argument seemed to exhaust Alvin, and in a huff, he stomped off without looking back
When Maria came back fenide alone, everyone called that the party had come to an abrupt end, and they quickly started finding excuses to leave.
Ira, the one left behind as the guest of honor, also stood up amidst the chaos.
Before lewing, she made a quick trip to the bathroom
