Chapter 1578 Getting Drunk

After Aaron left the palace, he gave Bernd a call before heading to the bar. As it was less than three months since

Bernd completed his surgery, he couldn’t drink and could only watch Aaron do so.

At one in the morning, he wanted to send Aaron home when he saw that the latter had enough. However, Aaron

insisted on driving home alone and urged Bernd and his bodyguards to head home instead.

Failing to dissuade him, Bernd and his men went home first.

Once they were gone, Aaron found his car and got in. Instead of going home, he drove straight to where Alicia’s

school was.

The last time Carlos picked him up, he had decided to bring Alicia and her grandfather, Clement, back and settled

the latter in a place close to the school.

Alicia was nineteen that year and an economics major.

When Aaron arrived at the school, he took out his phone and dialed her number.

‘‘Who is it?’‘ Alicia answered her phone groggily as she had already fallen asleep.

‘‘It’s me.’‘ When Aaron’s deep voice rang out from the phone, Alicia was jolted awake. ‘‘Aaron!’‘

Upon hearing her suppressed yet delighted voice, he added, ‘‘Come out here.’‘

‘‘Are you at the school entrance?’‘ Alicia asked softly. After Aaron let out a soft grunt, she quickly climbed out of

bed and sneaked out quietly.

A delightful smile was plastered on her face as she made her way to the school entrance.

She had not expected him to call or remember the name of her school, for she had written them down in a hurry.

Thus, she wasn’t certain if he had remembered it from the note she wrote.

The moment she emerged from the school entrance, she saw Aaron leaning languidly against the car. The dim

yellow light above him accentuated the allure of his exquisite features. However, the loneliness he exuded suddenly

elicited her sympathy for him.

As their school was located in a secluded area, there was no one around since it was two in the morning. Running

up to him, Alicia broke into a sweet smile. ‘‘I’m surprised that you’re here.’‘

Regaining his senses, Aaron’s heart warmed at the sight of her mesmerizing smile.

‘‘Come with me. Let’s go for a drive,’‘ Aaron suggested before getting back into the car.

As she stared at the car, Alicia struggled to decide whether she should be sitting in the front passenger seat or the

back seat. After weighing her options for a while, she felt that the back seat was the more appropriate choice.

Noticing her hesitation, Aaron couldn’t help but look at her. The moment he saw her reaching for the back seat

door, he furrowed his brows and shouted, ‘‘Sit here.’‘

Responding to his instructions, Alicia circled around the car and got in the front passenger seat.

After she settled down, Aaron leaned closer so that his hand could reach over her. At that moment, they were in

such close proximity that they could hear each other breathing.

Subsequently, his abyss-like eyes met with Alicia’s.

Enamored by his gaze, Alicia’s heart began to pound so furiously that she felt as if it was going to explode.

‘‘W-Why are you looking at me like that?’‘ Just as she spoke, she knitted her brows. ‘‘Have you been drinking? Why

did you drink so much? Your wounds have not—’‘

When he saw her lips mouthing incessantly, he lowered his head with a frown.
