"What? Who…… doesn't want to live?" Patricia shook her head and stared at Tom, confused. Shaking her head was a big mistake, because she was immediately overwhelmed by vertigo. She gripped the side of the car, hoping to stop the world from spinning.

  "This is getting ridiculous. Don't drink and drive!" Tom snarled at her. He couldn't help it. He kept telling himself that he didn't care about her at all. But here he was, practically yelling at them not to drink and drive. Why was he driven to do this?

  "Patricia, let's go." Sitting in the car for a long time, Michelle was getting impatient. So she decided to say something.

  "Michelle, look at this guy! He looks like Tom, huh?" Though she was standing, Patricia wasn't stable at all, and almost fell down. Tom rushed to rescue her, and caught her before she hit the pavement. He regretted it, because he wanted nothing to do with her.

  "Who? I can't see him clearly. I'll check him out," Michelle said and opened the door, trying to get out. But somehow, she almost tripped over the door. She caught herself, mercifully, before she fell. But she wasn't exactly light on her feet either.

  They must have been talking about him while they were drinking. They didn't recognize him now, but they kept comparing his appearance to Tom. He wasn't sure how he felt about that. So was Patricia talking about him behind his back with her friend? And why?

  "Ha ha! Maybe I'm wrong. Tom…… Tom's a cold fish! He wouldn't talk to me, unlike this guy," Patricia said and laughed at her own joke, half-mockingly. She laughed, but her face looked sad.

  "No, Patricia. It's really him!" Michelle tilted her head and studied Tom carefully. The longer she looked at him, the more she felt that this man was actually Tom.

  "Really? Let me get

  Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.

  To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.

  "As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."

  She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.

  Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.

  r? Good. Then she's yours. I'll drive Patricia back to her place." Tom did not have the heart to leave Patricia alone. She might do something dangerous, or worse, find someone dangerous. If something happened to her, he wouldn't know how to explain it to Leena, much less Patricia's mother.

  "Why should I be responsible for it? Why did you let them get drunk in the first place?" Luke said to Tom. But his eyes were staring at Michelle, with a burning anger. If looks could kill, she would have been a corpse.

  "Come on! I didn't drink with them and didn't get them drunk! Just like you, I came across them. What kind of guy do you think I am?" Tom was originally just angry. Now he felt more insulted thanks to Luke's teasing.

  "Hey! You guys. Are we invisible?" No one wanted to be ignored. Michelle was no exception. So although she was tipsy, she still remembered to stand up for herself. She was getting impatient, and tried to boot.

  "It's always the ugly ones who have to work hard to get attention," Luke teased Michelle coldly. Despite this, he still accepted Tom's proposal. He would make sure she got home safely, trusting that Tom would do the same with his drunken charge.
