"What happened?" Shaun questioned Allie head-on as she got out of the car.
Allie glanced at him and did not say anything. She opened the car door and looked at the unconscious Lindsey inside. She then reached out and pulled up one of her arms as she said to Shaun, "Give me a hand."
The two of them pulled the drunk Lindsey out of the car. The effects of the alcohol were getting to Lindsey. Earlier, she still looked fine when she was lying down. Now that she stood up, her cheeks were flushed and she also began to mutter inaudible words. She suddenly began to be active.
Seeing that Shaun’s face was gloomy, Allie did not want to lose an ally at this time, so she explained, “She’s in a bad mood, so she drank one too many.”
In fact, Shaun could already tell without her telling him.
The person beside him reeked of alcohol and was still struggling restlessly, trying to get out of their grasp.
Shaun did not even have to ask to know why Lindsey was in a bad mood. After all, Zayn's scandals these days were nothing new.
He was actually guessing Zayn’s motive behind this and it had also become a joke in the industry. After all, no one would respect a powerful business mogul that was involved in so many scandals.
At that moment, Shaun suddenly felt heartbroken seeing Lindsey drink herself to a mess because of this.
"Careful, Linds. Lean on me. Don't move."
When Lindsey heard his voice, she struggled even harder and said in a clear voice, “Zayn Guggenheim! Don’t touch me!”
Shaun paused in his footsteps and his face sank.
At the side, there was a smirk on Allie’s face. The more Lindsey agitated Shaun, the greater the chances of her plans succeeding later.
"Lindsey is so drunk that she doesn't even recognize anyone. She even thinks that you’re Zayn. All she thinks about is Zayn Guggenheim." Allie sighed seemingly unintentionally. "If she had seen more of the good in others, she probably wouldn't be so deeply hurt by Zayn now."
Every word Allie said hit Shaun where it hurt. Shaun had also thought about it countless times. ‘Why couldn’t Lindsey see how good I am to her? All she cares about is Zayn...Even if she got hurt and even after dying once, her heart was always chained to Zayn Guggenheim.’
Shaun’s heart had long been filled with uncontrollable anger and resentment. ‘Why is it only Zayn Guggenheim?! Why can’t it be me?’
After saying that, Lindsey did not move further until Shaun put her on the bed. She suddenly reached out and tugged the hem of Shaun's shirt. "Don't go..."
Shaun was not sure if she was talking to him or her beloved Zayn Guggenheim. His face was gloomy as he looked at Lindsey. He said, “Don’t move, I’ll get you a cup of water.”
However, Lindsey persistently tugged on his shirt. Her eyes were shut, but she looked quite stubborn.
This was a scene Shaun fantasized about for a long time, but at that moment, he just felt very uncomfortable.
He sat down at the edge of the bed and took Lindsey's hand. His voice was gentle like a lover's murmur as he said, "Alright, I'll be right back. Aren’t you thirsty? I'll go get you a glass of water."
Somehow, his words made Lindsey pout and her voice sounded like a soft purr as she said, “Water...”
After that, she obediently let go of Shaun’s shirt.
Once Lindsey’s grip loosened, Shaun immediately got up to go to the kitchen since Allie was watching over Lindsey.
