Chapter 465 Uncovering My Wife's Secrets
- Mina Simmons stared at Preston Blake and pouted with dissatisfaction. "Who's drunk? I'm not drunk!" she protested. "Come on. I'll send you home now," Preston said immediately, knowing she was drunk. He felt regretful. If he had known that Mina had such a low tolerance for alcohol, he would not have let her drink in the first place. "I'm not drunk, for crying out loud. Eat more, Preston. You didn't eat the last time. Hurry up and eat more now," Mina urged good-naturedly. "I'm quite full," Preston replied. He quickly pressed the service bell for the bill. Mina stopped him immediately. "It's my treat. I don't want you to pay. Scan the QR code now. Where's the QR code? Scan it for me," Mina demanded; she was persistent. The waiter looked at Preston awkwardly. Preston held Mina to stabilize her while coaxing her. "Stop fooling around, Mina. It's my treat today. You can buy me dinner some other time."
- "No can do. Ms. Tuffin said that the two most important things in life are, to be honest, and to behave accordingly." Mina swayed as she spoke. Her eyelids and head felt heavy, and her feet were light and shaky. She then took out her cell phone and wanted to pay. However, her cell phone slipped off her hand. Preston almost toppled Mina off when he reached out to catch her cell phone. He quickly straightened up and got hold of her. Then Preston put Mina's cell phone in his pocket and swiftly paid the bill with his cell phone. Meanwhile, he called for a designated driver while holding Mina "Earthquake! Run quickly!" Mina shouted suddenly, feeling the surroundings spinning. Even the crystal chandelier shook uncontrollably. She grabbed Preston tightly and wanted to run. Then she pounced forward. Preston immediately grabbed her arm tightly, fearful that she might fall. However, he lost his balance, and both fell to the ground. Mina got up and exclaimed, "This earthquake is terrible!" She stood up and steadied herself. Before she could raise her leg, her body began to sway again. Preston quickly got up and steadied her. Feeling helpless, he wrapped Mina's arm around his shoulder for support.
- Unfortunately, Preston was much taller than Mina. Therefore, he had to bend slightly to support her, making him look like a hunchback. It was also awkward for him to walk that way. "Earthquake, run for your life!" Mina continued to mumble. Preston decided that the awkward position was not ideal. He would easily fall again. He removed Mina's hand around his shoulder and hugged her tightly from behind, pulling her into his arms to prevent them both from falling forward again. Preston finally managed to walk Mina to the parking lot. Suddenly, she began to make a gagging noise. Preston immediately helped her to the curb and patted her back gently. "Do you want to throw up? You'll feel better if you empty your stomach," he said with concern. "No, I don't want to throw up. I don't feel good. Ugh!" Mina started to retch again. Preston was helpless at this point. He held Mina up so she could throw up, but he was worried that the cold wind might get to her if she stood still for too long. "If you're not going to throw up, let's get in the car now," said Preston. Mina did not speak. Her eyes were half-closed, and her body swayed uncontrollably. Preston half supported and half carried Mina to the car. Not long after, the designated driver arrived in a small electric scooter.
