In less than ten minutes, Clayton arrived at the bar.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The moment he stepped inside, he saw Sienna slumped limply over the bar counter. Her long hair was a mess, and her cheeks were flushed. In one hand, she was still clutching half a glass of alcohol. She was clearly drunk out of her mind.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Samuel lounged nearby, scrolling on his phone. When he saw Clayton, he raised a brow with a grin.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWow, that was fast,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Clayton walked over with a frigid expression. \u201cHow much did she drink?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Samuel shrugged. \u201cNo idea. She was already like this when I got here. If I hadn\u2019t kept an eye on her for you, some random guy would\u2019ve dragged her away by now.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Clayton didn\u2019t bother arguing. \u201cI\u2019ll consider that project proposed by the Steltons.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Samuel got up and made to leave. \u201cDeal. Bye now.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Clayton pinched Sienna\u2019s cheek. \u201cGet up.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t touch me. I\u2019m dizzy,\u201d Sienna mumbled, swatting his hand away.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Clayton sighed. He was about to hoist her up and leave when he noticed her phone light up on the bar counter.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ethan: \u201cClayton isn\u2019t right for you. Leaving sooner is better. If you\u2019re having trouble with the divorce, you can come to me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
As Clayton stared at the screen, he felt a vein pop at his temple. What kind of brother\u2013in\u2013law was Ethan to encourage them to get a divorce instead of helping them reconcile?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Without hesitation, he keyed in his birthday to unlock her phone. Then he deleted the message and scooped Sienna up bridal-\u00a0<\/p>\n
style.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sienna was so dizzy that she thrashed wildly in his arms. \u201cWho are you? Put me down!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Clayton answered without thinking, \u201cYour husband.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sienna squinted at him and reached up to pinch his cheek. \u201cLiar! My husband\u2019s been dead for ages!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Clayton was rendered speechless. This was just great. Even when she was absolutely wasted, she didn\u2019t forget to curse him. After much effort, he finally shoved her into the back seat. Sienna immediately started wriggling and trying to crawl out.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She slurred, \u201cTightwad! You\u2019re so stingy! You\u2019re a scrooge!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Clayton pinned her down and barked, \u201cSit still!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She only grew angrier when she was yelled at. \u201cWho do you think you are, yelling at me? I\u2019ll drive an excavator over and flatten your house!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Clayton laughed in spite of himself. \u201cYou? You can\u2019t even drive a car, and you want to operate an excavator?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He gave up reasoning with a drunk and slammed the car door shut.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Throughout the entire drive home, Sienna\u2019s tirade never stopped. She called him an iceberg, a narcissist, a cheapskate, a bastard\u2026 Her vocabulary was so rich that there were enough names to compile an encyclopedia of insults.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Clayton\u2019s grip on the steering wheel tightened as he silently chanted to himself, \u201cDon\u2019t argue with a drunk\u2026 Don\u2019t argue with a drunk\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
But Sienna only got more animated. In the end, she even leaned forward from the back seat to grab the headrest of the driver\u2019s seat.\u00a0<\/p>\n
X CLOSE\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 59\u00a0<\/p>\n
212\u00a0<\/p>\n
She shouted into his ear, announcing loudly, \u201cClayton, I hereby declare that you\u2019re fired! From now on, you\u2019re no longer my husband! I\u2019m going to find\u2026 find\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She stalled for a second before the name she was looking for came to her. \u201cFind Xavier!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Clayton slammed the brakes and whipped his head around. \u201cYou wouldn\u2019t dare!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The sudden stop sent Sienna tumbling back into the seat, but she still managed a final jab. \u201cJust watch me!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
With that, her head lolled to the side, and she finally passed out.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Clayton stared at her limp form furiously. He knew scolding her now was pointless, so he restarted the car and drove them home.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The moment they pulled up in front of the manor, Sienna woke up again. Like a koala, she clung to the car door stubbornly. I\u2019m not getting out! I refuse!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Clayton stood outside the car. The moonlight shone down on him, giving his shoulders a cool silver outline.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThen what do you want?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sienna stuck out her hand like a pampered princess. \u201cCarry me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Clayton stared at her flushed face for three seconds before finally giving in.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He turned around and crouched down while warning sternly, \u201cYou\u2019d better not throw up on me. If you do, I\u2019ll kill you.\u201d Triumphant, Sienna pounced onto his back and wrapped her arms around his neck like they were creeping vines.\u00a0<\/p>\n
