Chapter 82 My Cousin

Seeing that Chandler was about to leave, Dante stood up. “W–What’s wrong? You haven’t even drunk much yet? Are you going back?”

He wondered if he had hurt Chandler’s self-esteem.

Chandler sneered and touched his cheek with the tip of his tongue. “It’s boring to drink with you.”

Dante growled, “We agreed to get hammered today!”

He was a little annoyed. After he carried Anne back home yesterday, to his surprise, she directly threw the divorce agreement over his head. Then, the door was locked, and he couldn’t get in at all. Unwilling to talk to him, she simply asked him to sign. Dante could only sleep in the living room.

However, there was something even more. Unexpectedly, while he was asleep in the middle of the night, Anne quietly had someone move the sofa he was lying on to the front door. She was so cruel that she kicked him out of the house.

Eventually, Dante was roused by mosquitoes buzzing around him on the grass outside the door, with over a dozen bites covering his body. He still had no idea why Anne intended to divorce him.

He only remembered that a month ago, he came home drunk at night and was halfway through a shower when Lola called. Because his cell phone was outside the bathroom, Anne answered the call. As soon as he came out, she asked for a divorce. It was really incomprehensible to him. He simply left his coat at Cedar Café while socializing in the evening. Lola called and mentioned this. Yet, Anne actually wanted to break up with him just because of such a trivial matter.

The music in the private room brought Dante back to his senses. Watching Chandler walking out, he frowned and said, “Chandler, are you really going back? You are impotent anyway, so wouldn’t you try not to bother yourself?”

Chandler stopped. He pivoted around, stared at Dante, and gritted his teeth fiercely. “Eighteen, and one hundred eighty. How dare you suggest I am impotent?”

Dante was stunned for a moment before giving a thumbs-up. “Length and minutes? Awesome! Chandler, you are hiding your abilities.”

Chandler turned away in silence.

Meryl slept at Anne’s house that night. In the afternoon, Anne mentioned that the newly purchased projector at her place was highly effective, inviting Meryl over to watch a movie together. After the last movie was over, it was too late, and Meryl decided not to waste time traveling home. Instead, she texted Chandler and stayed at Anne’s. They lay on a bed, chatting till very late.

The next day was Monday. Meryl was almost late for work. She rushed to the company and entered through the revolving door just as Dalton emerged from the opposite side. In a hurry, she ran very quickly.

Dalton looked back as if noticing her. Yet, he only caught a glimpse of a slender figure passing through the glass door and entering the elevator.

As Dalton didn’t move forward, Elias glanced back in the direction of his gaze but saw nothing. “We have to rush to the airport right now," Elias reminded him, "There’s some morning traffic. If we don’t leave immediately, we’ll miss our flight for this business trip.”

Only then did Dalton turn around. He pulled out his phone and looked down. It remained silent. Meryl hadn’t sent him a single message in the past few days. Dalton put his phone back into his pocket.

“Did you find out who her blind date was that day?” he asked.

Elias nodded. “Yes. You know that man, too. It’s Ethan.”

Dalton was shocked for a moment and then displeased. “Isn’t it ridiculous? Ethan is my cousin! She actually had a blind date with him!”

Dalton paced back and forth with the utmost anxiety. "Elias, do you think she is trying to attract my attention?”
