Nate was already at the door, and he stopped for a second when he heard Stephen saying that, but strode away at once.
There was a faint smile on Stephen's lips. He did his best to live his head and said to Ethan, "You're the only happy man among us. You can get what you want, but we? We can never get what we want..."
Ethan pressed a bell, and a waiter came in soon.
"Sir, may I help?"
"Two bottles of whiskey."
"No problem."
The waiter sent two bottles of whiskey inside and cleaned the broken pieces of glass on the ground out.
Ethan poured two shot glasses of whiskey for Stephen and himself in person.
"This is to thank you for taking good care of Kylie," he said and drank it up.
Stephen remained silent with a faint smile on his face, then took the shot glass before him and drank it up.
Ethan filled the shot glasses for them. "And this is to thank you for you've given a safe Kylie back to me."
Stephen was struck dumb for a second, but still didn't say a word, and drank the whiskey up.
He drank it like he was drinking water. After successive three shot glasses, he stood up all of a sudden and strode to the washroom.
Before he could close the door, he threw up at the toilet.
Ethan, who always stayed clean, walked to him at a slow pace, then patted his back for a while before giving him a glass of water.
Stephen didn't raise his head because his eyes were full of tears now.
Ethan hated him, but Ethan chose to forgive him for the sake of Kylie.
If he continued to interfere in their relationship, he would be a shameless backstabber.
Stephen fell slowly down to the ground. He held the toilet and said in a low voice with the help of alcohol, "Ethan, let me say it again. If Kylie can't be happy with you, I'll take her away even though I'll take the bad guy."
He was still reluctant to say something to wish them good.
Luckily, Ethan understood him.
He patted on Stephen's shoulder. "If you dare hurt Dinah, we're no longer brothers." After that, he walked out of the washroom and made a call. "Royal Private Club. Come and pick your man up."
Before Dinah could say a word, the phone was hung up. She changed her clothes without delay, then drove out of Empire Hotel as fast as she could.
Stephen opened his eyes in dizziness and found himself lying on a sofa in Royal Private Club, while Dinah was playing a mobile game aside.
"You're finally awake." Dinah gave him a glance, then continued to play her game.
"What time is it now?" Stephen sat up, rubbing his temples.
Dinah was busy playing the game. "Probably, it's past four."
Stephen took the glass of water on the table. When he was about to drink it, he asked again. "It's already afternoon?"
Dinah snorted, "It's four am."
Stephen's body stiffened a little, then gave Dinah a quick glance. Did she stay by my side for a whole night?
Dinah seemed to know what he was thinking in mind, but she stared straight at the screen of her phone. "Don't think too far. I came here not to keep your company, but the Internet connection here is much faster than that in your hotel. I'm in fierce competition, so I can't tolerate a slow Internet connection."
Stephen put the glass back on the table, then raised his hand to smell his breath.
"Stop it now. Don't you know you're smelly?" Dinah kicked him. "I've brought your toiletries. Go clean yourself!"
Stephen took out the toiletries bag on the table, then walked to the washroom. However, it smelt even more unpleasant in the washroom, and Stephen turned the ventilators on with a tight frown.
Dinah was sure he would stay in it for a long while, so she changed the mobile page at once, and sent a message to Kylie.
Dinah: He's awake. What should I do next?
Dinah didn't notice the time was already six am, not just four am, until the message was sent out.
To her surprise, Kylie replied within a second.
Kylie: Arouse his sympathy.
Dinah: Did you stay awake last night too?
Kylie: Nope. I just woke up. Is Ethan by your side? He drank last night, so I kicked him out, and he slept in the guest room.
Dinah snorted with laughter. Kylie really got whole control of Ethan, and Dinah dreamed of stealing Stephen's heart one day.
The door of the washroom was opened, and Dinah turned the page of the mobile game back at once. She gave him a glance, then said, "There is clean clothing in another bag."
The Royal Private Club wasn't an ordinary hotel, but it provided everything here, including 24-hour hot water in every private room.
Nevertheless, Stephen was used to using the brands he liked, so Dinah brought his toiletries here. As for the clothing...
Once Stephen saw the clothing, he thought of the picture when Dinah was naked in the bed in the early morning, and he flushed once more.
Dinah logged out of the mobile game, and asked Stephen, "How to explain it to your mother?"
"Explain what?" Stephen looked at her.
"We stayed outside all night."
Stephen was quiet for a while, then said, "We played cards together in a friend's place."
Dinah pointed at Stephen and pinched her nose. "You smell like you've soaked in alcohol. She'll know you've drunk a lot once you appear."
Stephen gave her a glance, then took the bag of clean clothing, walking to the washroom to take a shower.

Kylie felt satisfied reading Dinah's messages when someone knocked on the door of her room.
"Mrs. Parker, someone wants to see you." It was Lucy.
Kylie put on a coat, then opened the door. "Who?"
"A man in a khaki trench coat." Lucy moved her hand in the air. "Probably that high, and he's wearing a pair of glasses."
Hearing that, Kylie got nervous.
She knew the man in the khaki trench coat didn't appear at the door of the B\u0026B by accident, and it was impossible that Lauren suddenly disappeared for the shooting of an advertisement in another country.
Kylie changed her clothes as fast as she could and asked, "Where is Ethan?"
"Mr. Parker went running in the early morning, and he's not back yet." Lucy helped Kylie put on her clothes and followed her walking downstairs.
When they just arrived on the first floor, Ethan walked in with a wet towel around his neck. He seemed so sexy after exercising.
"You got up so early?" Ethan strode to Kylie.
"There..." Lucy wanted to say something, but Kylie interrupted her. "Today is a good day, and I want to have a walk outside."
She secretly pulled a corner of Lucy's clothes.
Although Lucy didn't understand why Kylie lied to Ethan, she knew Kylie would never hurt him.
Therefore, she echoed, "Yes, look at the bright sunshine!"
Ethan held Kylie's hand like she was a fragile vase. "Be careful."
"Don't be too over," Kylie said. "I'll just have a walk in the front yard."
"Great, I'll take a shower." Ethan kissed her forehead, then went upstairs.
"Where is the man?" Kylie asked Lucy in a low voice.
Lucy guided her, walking to the front yard and pointed at the door. "There. Oh, he's gone!"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
