Chapter 564
Andrew couldn't fathom why he disagreed. Perhaps it was just the thought of
Aubree getting married, and giving another man those looks she had given him.
It made him feel unbearable.
Tessa's heart sank completely. Just then, Andrew's phone started ringing. She
beat him to it, noticing that the caller was Aubree.
What a dramatic scene it was. One woman with whom he’d shared passionate
nights; the other, someone he'd promised to look after for life. On this strange
night, they were suddenly brought together.
Tessa hit the answer button, and a strange man’s voice came through. “Hello, is
this Aubree’s brother? She's had a bit too much to drink. Could you come pick
her up?”
In this
A sneer crossed Tessa's eyes. “Why don't you send the address to another friend
on her phone, named Brielle? She'll come get her.”
“Alright, I won't disturb you further.”
After ending the call, Tessa managed a smile, holding her emotions in check.
“Aubree’s plastered. You're not thinking of going now, are you? I've already had
the bartender contact Brielle. Andrew, tomorrow's your birthday. Are you planning
to stay here or go celebrate with someone else?”
Andrew's Adam's apple bobbed, a flicker of guilt for an inexplicable moment of
hesitation. “I'LL spend it out with you to ensure you're well. Didn't you love that
clam chowder at that restaurant? I'll book it just for us, just the two of us."

Tessa breathed a sigh of relief. In the past, Andrew had only spent his birthdays
with her. Maybe he didn't really like Aubree, and that was fine. Her lips curved
into a small smile. “Yeah, I knew it. You still like me best.”
Andrew didn’t speak; he just held her and gently patted her back.
When Brielle’s phone rang, she was already half-asleep, clinging tighter to Max.
She heard the ring, rubbed her eyes, and saw Max taking her phone and talking
to the person on the other end. “Yeah, I got it. Someone will be there to pick her
up.”
After hanging up, Max met Brielle’s gaze.
“Who was that?”
“Someone from the bar is calling to say Aubree’s drunk at Tequila Sunset. Don’t
worry, the staff there are responsible.”
At that, Brielle perked up. “How did she end up drunk?”
Max glanced at the clock on the wall. “It's past midnight. Today's Andrew's
birthday, but Tessa’s been unwell lately. I guess he hasn't been around much.”

Brielle felt a mix of annoyance and concern for Aubree, so she reluctantly got up
and started dressing. “I'm going to check on her.”
Max followed suit, and as Brielle watched him dress, warmth flooded her heart.
She couldn't resist giving him a quick kiss. “Are you driving me there? Don't you
have a meeting early in the morning?”
Patrick had mentioned before going to bed that his meetings would start at five
and go until noon, dealing with a critical phase in an overseas acquisition. His
schedule was about to be turned upside down.
“I can't leave you alone.”
Brielle felt a wave of affection. How could Max be so wonderful? What kind of
luck had she stumbled upon to have him in her life?
Max grabbed his jacket, put it on, and noticed her daydreaming. His brow
furrowed, “Stomach still hurting?”
“No, let's go.”
