Chapter 136
Is the first time in Maurice’s life where he was faced with the excruciating experience of being refused by a woman.
In his agony, he drove to Wyatt’s house as fast as he could.
When Maurice opened the door, he was greeted with the foul perfume of alcohol. He grimaced.
Although it was daytime, the blinds of the house were closed tight. The dim living room was littered with empty wine bottles.
Wyatt was on the sofa, his shirt unbuttoned and a coquettish woman in his arms. They were kissing passionately. His eyes were unfocused and his face was pink. He was obviously a playboy who gave way to his carnal desires in the daytime!
Wordlessly, Maurice rushed to Wyatt and punched him in the face.
The woman screamed as Wyatt fell to the floor.
Wyatt didn’t seem fazed by Maurice’s attack. He raised his head and gave Maurice a bloody smile.
As Maurice glared down at the delirious Wyatt, his anger bubbled over.
“Do you know that Eliana was in danger last night? How could you leave her there alone?” Maurice roared.
Wyatt could tell that Maurice was furious, but he didn’t care.
Wyatt stayed on the floor, leaning back on his arms. “So what? Eliana isn’t your girlfriend, is she?” he said casually. “She’s just a new toy that you haven’t lost interest in yet. People like us don’t deserve true love. Why are you deceiving yourself?”
He grabbed a bottle of wine off of the floor and took a big drink.
Wyatt’s words were like an arrow in the bull’s-eye of Maurice’s heart. Seeing his friend give up on himself just made him even angrier. He raised his fist, ready to strike Wyatt again.
The woman screamed again.
Wyatt made no move. He just sat there, waiting for Maurice’s blow.
Maurice’s fist changed its direction and collided with the wall.
“Please, you have to pull yourself together.”
Maurice had nothing more to say. He turned and left.
Back in the car, Maurice became more and more confused as he considered the situation.
Why was Wyatt giving up on himself? He had been fine just yesterday, hadn’t he?
Maurice remembered what he saw in the video that had been taken last night. Wyatt had met a woman who was wearing sunglasses. Then he had suddenly seemed to lose control and he cut off contact with Maurice.
That woman…
Maurice picked up his phone and called Corbin.
“Corbin, Wyatt met a woman at the restaurant last night. I want to know everything about her!”
Corbin was silent for a long minute, and then said, “Mr. Moran, that woman… That woman is Nicole Swift.”
So he was right. It was her.
A sudden idea brought a clever smile to Maurice’s face.
“It seems that we’ve finally found someone who can control this guy.”
Back at the house, Wyatt was still sitting on the floor with his eyes barely open. He looked distraught.
As soon as Maurice left, the coquettish woman came to her senses and rushed to his side to help him up.
“He really has a bad temper.” Wyatt wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and smiled.
“Mr. Todd, was that Mr. Moran?”
The woman was holding Wyatt’s arm, but her eyes were lingering longingly on the door Maurice had stormed out of.
Wyatt glanced at her coldly and sneered, “Quit dreaming. His heart has already been taken by another woman. You don’t have a chance.”
The woman was embarrassed. “Mr. Todd, don’t misunderstand me. I love you wholeheartedly. Look at you. Your face is all swollen. How can you walk the red carpet like this?”
Wyatt stood up and threw himself onto the sofa. “It doesn’t matter.” He paused and laughed to himself. “I’ve been beaten by him, but I still have to return his favor. He thinks I’m a sucker. I don’t even know which beauty will walk the red carpet with me.”
“Well, Mr. Todd, you’d better go now. Don’t keep that beauty waiting too long.”
The woman sat on his lap, wrapped her arms around his neck, and leaned against his chest in a coquettish fashion.
Wyatt raised her face to his. “I have you in my arms. Let her wait.”
“Mr. Todd…”
The woman blushed and closed her eyes to ask for a kiss. She didn’t see the coldness in Wyatt’s gaze.novelbin
