Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2756

Make A Night Of It

At that very moment, Abelyn was nonchalantly guzzling wine.

Good heavens! She must have gone off her rocker! Incensed, Joan went right up to her face and glared at her. "Let's go!"

"Huh? Where to?" Abelyn asked dubiously as she turned and looked at the person before her.

By then, she was already inebriated.

"Let's go home, Abelyn!" Joan's voice was laden with a mixture of emotions on the verge of explosion.

All of a sudden, the bartender came over. "Who are you?" he demanded provocatively as he eyed Joan. "I'm her friend."

"Well, I'm her boyfriend!" The bartender put on a cocky expression while mixing drinks.

Hah! He's merely a bartender in a nightclub, so what's there to be cocky about?

"So, you're her boyfriend? Alright, let me ask you this. What's your interest in Abelyn?" Joan's voice dripped with scorn.

As a matter of fact, compatibility in terms of social statuses was paramount. Everyone should know their place, or there wouldn't be any meaning in life.

"Hey, what are you trying to say? You're making it sound as though I have some ulterior motive. We like each other, okay? You know nothing, yet you're yapping here. How ill-mannered!" the bartender retorted in chagrin.

Well, well... he's really something else! But on second thought, anyone who works in a nightclub can't be guileless!

Joan threw Dustin a helpless look before shifting her gaze back to Abelyn. "Are you going to leave with me, Abelyn?"

The moment that question fell, Abelyn sprang to her feet.

"Joan Watts!" she snarled coldly. "Why must you keep browbeating me time and again? What did I do wrong? I just fell in love with a man, no? What's the big deal about it? Did I commit murder or arson? I didn't break any law! I'm just dating, so why must you both object?" she roared as she pointed at the two people before her, her face flushed bright red.

"What should we do, Joan? From the look of things, Abelyn isn't going to leave with us." Dustin nudged Joan beside him in a slight panic.

Oh God, what should we do about Abelyn? Why did she suddenly become so stubborn? As Joan stared at the woman before her, melancholy blanketed her face.

"You want to drink, yes? Alright, let's make a night of it!" While saying that, she dragged Abelyn to the corner at the side.

"What are you doing? Let go of me! Why are you getting handsy with me? Help! Someone is molesting me!" Abelyn was already drunk, so she had no idea who exactly was hauling her to the corner. Dustin, on the other hand, was gripped by puzzlement as he gaped at the two women's backs. What's happening here? Is Joan going to drink with Abelyn? But isn't she here to persuade her home? As he pinned his gaze on them both a near distance away, his expression reflected his astonishment.

"Don't drink, Dustin. I'll drink with her. If both of us end up sloshed later, you're responsible for sending us home!" Joan asserted. Knowing that Abelyn would never go home right then, she decided to drink with her.

At long last, understanding dawned upon Dustin, and he nodded firmly in agreement.

With that, the two women started competing among themselves.

"Are you sure you manage, Joan? I remember that you can't hold your liquor," Abelyn teased.

Hah! What nonsense! Lifting the wine glass, Joan gulped down the contents in one go before casually wiping her mouth. Suppressing the burning sensation in her throat, she declared, “How was that? Good enough for you?"

"Excellent! Just because you were so sporting, I'll have another round as well!" As Abelyn said that, she raised the wine glass beside her and guzzled everything.

Good gracious, she has really lost her mind! She has already drunk so much, yet she's still drinking!

"Don't force it if you can't take it anymore, Abelyn," Joan coaxed in concern.

"No way! Who said I couldn't take it? I can still drink several more rounds!" Abelyn picked up another glass of wine while saying that.
