Chapter 1612
It happened swiftly - a man with the air of a restaurant manager made his way towards them.
Upon spotting him, he greeted with a smile and a slight bow, "Sir, right this way."
Craig followed to the private dining room 808. As the door swung open, he saw about a dozen people inside, a mix of men and women. But his eyes immediately found Aurora, who had dozed off on the table.
Given her well-known background, nobody dared to disturb her sleep.
"Is that Aurora's boyfriend?" A man seated not far from Aurora was the first to speak up.
The guy who had been in touch over the phone nodded, "That's him."novelbin
Craig, not much for words and having had a bit to drink, walked straight over, gently lifted Aurora in his arms, and made to leave.
No one dared stop him, but as Craig closed the door behind him, he could still catch the murmur of voices.
"How is he a match for Aurora? He reeks of poverty! What's he wearing, looks like a rag!"
"She's a Lopez heiress!"
"Let it be, just drop it..."
Craig carried Aurora and hailed a cab.
After giving Aurora's address to the driver, he glanced at her, sleeping soundly in his arms, and decided to head to his place instead.
If she were to be left alone and felt unwell, there'd be no one to look after her.
"Mmm..." As they neared his place, Aurora furrowed her brows, shifted, and then sleepily opened her eyes. "Craig?"
"Yeah."
"How... why are you..."
He pursed his lips, "You were drunk. Your friend called me to pick you up."
"Oh."
After a brief reply, she snuggled back into his embrace to continue sleeping.
Once the car stopped, Craig carried her out, and that's when Aurora came to again.
"How are you feeling? Can you manage on your own at home?"
He saw she was somewhat sober and thought of dropping her off at her place. "No!"
Given a chance to cling to Craig, she wouldn't pass it up.
His brow furrowed as he looked down at Aurora, leaning into his chest, "Stop it."
"I'm not! I really can't be alone!" She looked at him, her face flushed
from the alcohol, "Craig, carry
up. I can't stand."
Left with no choice, Craig had to carry her back to his apartment.
After setting Aurora down on the bed, he ent to turn on the water heater in the bathroom and then
boiled some water in the kitchen.
Returning to the bedroom with a mug of warm water, he was met with an unexpected sight as he opened the door-
By the time he was done, Craig was almost sober.
Aurora had stripped off her T-shirt and jeans, tossing them aside carelessly.
She lay on the bed in her underwear, uncovered, her porcelain skin and long legs exposed.
What was Craig thinking at that moment?
He was thankful he was the one who brought her back.
Otherwise, if that guy friend of hers had taken her to a hotel or something...
Who could have resisted?

But as he attempted to dress her, she suddenly gripped his wrist tightly. "Craig... can we try again? I promise, I won't say it hurts this time!"
