Chapter 44
Shane remained in a drunken slumber before groggily waking up at noon. Before opening his eyes, he caressed the smooth back of the woman in his arms, saying repeatedly, “Ally…”
He opened his eyes and saw Amber before him. He jumped in fright before shoving her aside.” How could it be you?”
Meanwhile, I sat on the table nearby, swinging my legs gently. It was as if I was there to watch the farce unfold.
I was no longer as furious as I had been when I saw this kind of scenario again. I merely felt calm and nonchalant.
As the sun shone through the floor–to–ceiling window on my body, I realized that my body seemed slightly more translucent.
I seemed to understand why I appeared beside Shane after dying. Perhaps most of my life revolved around him while I was still alive. Even if he had hurt and betrayed me, I still couldn’t let him go easily.
My obsession with him caused my soul to be uncontrollably bound to his side. When I saw his true colors, my initial reluctance to accept the truth slowly turned into calmness.
On the day I was truly able to let go of Shane, that was probably also the moment I would. disappear from this world.
Amber lay on the bed with an aggrieved look, her gaze filled with hurt. After all, the first thing Shane did was push her aside once he saw her.
“Shane, I was very worried after seeing you leave with such an odd expression. That’s why I dropped by to visit you. Who knew that you would assume I was Ally after getting drunk? We…
Shane massaged his temples with a terribly pained expression. It was as if he hadn’t wanted to have sex with Amber. I merely found it funny. A man couldn’t get it up if he were truly drunk.
Shane had Amber in his arms as they went for a few rounds last night, each round lasting longer than the previous. I noticed how happy he had been. Why was he acting innocent?
Amber sobbed quietly from the side. “Shane, I really never thought of ruining you and Ally’s relationship. I didn’t want to, but you kept calling for Ally after getting drunk. I felt really bad. for you, so I…”
In the end, Shane still couldn’t bear to see Amber cry, so he pulled her into his embrace. not your fault. I was wrong.”
Amber lay in Shane’s arms with a slight smirk. That was the sign of a winner
“It’s
“Shane, once Ally’s back, you should build a good life with her. I won’t bother you two again.”
“Abbie, how could I bear to let go of someone as kind as you are?” The two spent a long time. exchanging sweet words in bed before Shane suddenly remembered he had asked Devon to buy tickets for today’s flight to Gildford.
Although it was Shane who overslept, he still furiously gave a call to Devon. “Why didn’t your remind me? It’s your fault that I missed my flight.”
Devon realized long ago that Shane and Amber’s relationship was far too intimate. Last night’s incident had proven his point.
Both had spent the night together alone. Sparks flew, and with the help of alcohol, no explanation was needed for what Shane and Amber did. Devon wasn’t that foolish to not have known what they did last night.
Sorry, Mr. Lundberg. I didn’t want to disturb your sleep, seeing how drunk you were last night.”
“You’re truly getting more useless these days.” Shane sighed before continuing, “Whatever. Change my flight to the neighboring city and find another way into Gildford.“.
“Will do, Mr. Lundberg.”
Amber tugged at Shane’s hand from the side. “Shane, let me come along with you to pick up Allison. I wish to apologize to her in person. Once she’s vented her anger, she’ll return with you.”
Relief was written all over Shane’s face. His eyes were filled with affection and pity. “If your sister was half as thoughtful as you are, I wouldn’t have such a headache.”
