Lover’s Lament: Please Come Back To Me Book - Chapter: 850

Alis smiled and placed her hand in his, allowing herself to be helped up.

The proximity to Shawn made her nervous.

She couldn’t help but stare at him, causing his expression to darken.

The atmosphere grew more charged, but Alis quickly snapped back to reality. She feigned drunkenness and leaned against Shawn’s shoulder.

“Shawn, I’m sorry. I’m intoxicated and feel quite dizzy. I promise I’ll do my best not to ruin your clothes.”

Shawn’s expression hardened. “You’d better not vomit in my car.

Alis promised that she wouldn’t, closing her eyes and wrapping her arms around Shawn’s shoulders, ensuring he couldn’t escape her embrace.

Before leaving the lounge, Shawn noticed that Alis seemed to have ‘fallen asleep.

“Alis? Are you still awake?” he asked.

Alis gritted her teeth and kept her eyes shut, hoping that if she appeared truly drunk, Shawn would feel compelled to take care of her.

She was taking a gamble.

With a resigned sigh, Shawn lifted her into his arms. This time, Alis won.

Shawn frowned as he looked down at the woman smiling in his embrace, a hint of disdain on his lips.

Alis seemed to be increasingly clueless, unable to even convincingly fake drunkenness.

Shawn judged her silently in frustration but chose not to confront her. He exited through the side door, carrying Alis with him.

Their departure caught the attention of several people, including Denton and Phoebe.

“Is that Alis Wilde? And she’s with Shawn Murphy,” Phoebe said.

Denton nodded in agreement. “It’s Likely just as you suspect.”

Denton and Phoebe allowed themselves to talk about Alis and Shawn for minutes.

“Phoebe, the engagement party preparations are almost wrapped up. You’ll receive your dress soon, and feel free to make any alterations you like.”

Denton steered the conversation towards their upcoming engagement.

Phoebe’s face lit up with a shy smile. “Time really flies. To be honest, I never thought I’d be getting engaged this soon. I wanted to focus on my own business and make Oasis Jewelry a global brand.”

Denton gazed at Phoebe with affectionate eyes. “You can still do that, Phoebe. I’ll support you no matter what.”

Phoebe smiled playfully. “If you try to boss me around after we’re married, I’m outta here. And I’ll find someone younger and more handsome. I’m rich enough to do as I please.”
