Love Command: Darling, Do You Yield?-Chapter 118 - 119 It’s Too Late 5 [Extra]

Brandan was feeling really down, so after work, he sought out Alex to vent his frustrations.

"You have no idea how bad that guy’s temper has been lately!" In the bar, Brandan took a sip of his drink and said to his friend, "Every time I go to her, she always manages to infuriate me!"

"Do you think it’s easy for me to go home after work every day and still get tormented by her?"

"Constantly arguing for a divorce—does she think marriage is something you get into and out of so easily?"

...

Unable to hold back, Alex took the glass from his hand: "Brandan, who are you talking about?"

Brandan glanced at him: "Who else could it be?"

"..." Alex wanted to say something but didn’t dare confirm, so he asked!

Brandan leaned on the bar counter, resting his chin in his hand, sounding a bit down: "I’ve apologized to her so many times, but she just won’t forgive me."

Alex said nothing, noticing that Brandan seemed somewhat drunk, his demeanor carrying a touch of childlike innocence, not as aloof and unapproachable as usual. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

"What happened between you two?"

... Brandan pressed his lips together, not answering.

Perhaps, deep down, he knew he had done something unforgivable, so he didn’t dare to answer.

"Brandan, do you like her?"

Alex asked gently, "Have you fallen for Iris Harris?"

Brandan was slightly taken aback, turning his head slightly to look at Alex: "What?"

"If you like her, then treasure her." Alex looked at him and said softly, "She deserves to be loved by you."

...

But Brandan remained silent, not speaking further, only to drink more and more.

After several rounds, seemingly very drunk, he finally whispered, "It’s already too late."

The truth he couldn’t admit during the day seemed only possible to speak aloud when most intoxicated.

He had long understood that her love for him had already been withdrawn.

No matter how much he acted out or tried to hold on, things couldn’t go back to how they were.

He had done something irreparable, completely breaking her heart.

She no longer... loves him.

Right? Deep down, he had known it all along.

No matter how much he tried to deceive himself, he had always been the most clear-headed.

Thinking of this, Brandan couldn’t help but laugh; he took a sip of his drink and seemed to choke, coughing as he covered his mouth, laughing softly, "Alex, I don’t know what to do. I’ve never encountered something like this, I... don’t know how to keep her."

Amidst the hazy lights, Alex seemed to catch a glimpse of a sparkle in Brandan’s eyes.

He paused for a moment, just about to take a closer look when Brandan’s body slumped down softly, collapsing onto the bar.

He had passed out drunk.

Alex gazed at his slumped figure, momentarily speechless.

In the end, it seemed that the trouble would fall to him!

*******************

After much effort, Alex managed to get Brandan into the car, sweating from exertion. He drove him to the Hyde Residence; it was late at night. Alex, being a good friend, searched Brandan’s pockets for the keys and let him in.

He was quite familiar with the Hyde Residence, but he didn’t know where Brandan’s bedroom was.

"Brandan, where do you stay?"

He asked while supporting him.

"This way..."

Brandan pointed in a random direction.

Accepting his fate, Alex dragged him over there.

"Here... right here...!"
