Taking the cue, Ji Yan stepped out of the car.
The moment the door clicked shut behind Ji Yan, the car fell into silence again.
Ella moved to get away from his arms, only to stumble back down again. Her face was slightly flushed and her eyes were hazy.
Moonlight caught her unfocused eyes, flickering like they were searching for something that wasn't there. She seemed to be lost in her own mind.
Something seemed to have dug its claws inside Adrian's heart. His lashes lowered, hiding the storm that stirred in his eyes.
In the next moment, he supported her, "Drunk?"
Ella blinked, her gaze shifting onto Adrian as she quietly shook her head, "...Just a little wine… I am not drunk…"
Adrian tucked her hair behind her ear, "Lies."
Ella's lashes lowered, a tear sparkling on her lashes.
Adrian's fingers curled into a tight fist behind her back but his face remained impassive as ever, not relaying a single violent thought that consumed his head.
