Chapter 179: Interlude
It took them a while to leave, but Adrian ran out of energy once his ex-family left and collapsed on the sofa. He wasn’t delusional to think their meeting would have been any better, yet he didn’t know confronting them would drain so much out of him.
"You really ripped into them, huh?" George said, joining him on the sofa. "But then again, I expected you to be angry after so long."
"Shut it, asshole," Adrian replied, before they both broke down laughing.
The girls were a bit taken aback by their reaction. They had never seen Adrian laugh like that, and George noticed their curious gaze.
"Allow me to introduce myself," George said, exaggerating his greeting by bowing to the ladies. The name’s John Cen—I mean, George Jones, this idiot’s childhood friend, probably his only one."
Adrian rolled his eyes as quick introductions were made. But he knew George wasn’t lying. He was the only friend who saw him as something more than a bank.
Adrian’s life perfectly represented the words, ’I don’t have many friends. I just know some people.’ But George was the exception and always treated him as a friend.
While Adrian was lost in his thoughts, George couldn’t help but comment that Adrian had done well for himself, making a harem to get over one girl.
Thankfully, Adrian was the only one who heard him; otherwise, it would not have been good for George’s health.
However, the girls were quite interested in learning about Adrian’s past. George, the expert wingman he was, told them Adrian’s most humiliating childhood stories, which made them all laugh, including Adrian.
For a moment, he forgot about everything that happened hours ago. George ordered some food for them since the staff had left along with the rest of the family, but Adrian wasn’t worried about it.
