First Love Only? I Left Him First, Now the CEO Can't Let Go novel Chapter 140

Chapter 140: Chapter 140: Sleeping With Her

The melodious sound of violin playing in Scalinda continued.

Caleb Lockwood sat in his seat.

No one was sitting across from him.

His hair, face, and expensive tailored suit were all wet.

Because someone had thrown a drink at him.

The person who splashed the drink had left in outrage long ago.

Caleb Lockwood wiped his face with a handkerchief and continued dining, his face showing no expression. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

At this moment, his phone rang, and the caller ID showed it was Patrick Rhodes.

The basement bar of The Sheridan Grand Hotel.

Caleb Lockwood had just arrived when he saw a tall whiskey tower placed in front of Claire Shaw, with Patrick Rhodes sitting next to her, his expression indicating he was trying to persuade her not to be impulsive.

Not far away, Zachary Aldrin and several other friends were having fun with their female companions, behaving rather inappropriately.

"Brother Lockwood..."

Patrick Rhodes was the first to notice Caleb Lockwood and immediately stood up, pulling Caleb towards Claire Shaw.

"Sis-in-law, Brother Lockwood is here..."

Patrick whispered in Claire’s ear, only to be pushed away by her.

"Who is your sister-in-law? I’m not... your sister-in-law is Serena Jennings, she is your Brother Lockwood’s legally wedded wife... Who am I? Just a fool being played with feelings... First love... what a joke..."

"You’ve had too much to drink."

Caleb Lockwood tried to pull Claire Shaw away, but she shook off his hand.

"Don’t touch me!"

Beside them, Patrick didn’t dare to breathe loudly.

This was the first time he saw Claire Shaw so emotionally agitated with Caleb Lockwood.

But he could understand Claire Shaw.

Because today, the entire internet was abuzz with the explosive news that Serena Jennings was Caleb Lockwood’s wife, which made Claire’s position embarrassingly awkward.

It was inevitable Claire would drown her sorrows in alcohol given her mood.

"Don’t stop me, I want to drink more..."

Claire Shaw seemed to be putting on a drunken act, but she wasn’t actually drunk.

While putting on the act, she secretly observed Caleb Lockwood.

Caleb’s expression wasn’t good, as if he was angry.

But she couldn’t tell if Caleb was angry because of her drunken antics.

Caleb wasn’t in a good mood, and logically, tonight wasn’t suitable to carry out the plan.

However, with the explosive trending news tonight, drowning her sorrows in alcohol seemed the best excuse. Claire didn’t want to miss the opportunity, so she had to take the risky step.

She picked up a glass from the whiskey tower and handed it to Caleb.

"Drink with me."

Caleb took the glass, only to pour the drink out.

"You should go home."

Caleb’s tone and expression were stern.

Claire shrugged with a smile.

"You won’t even have a drink with me anymore... Fine, I’ll drink alone."

Claire picked up another glass, which was quickly snatched by Caleb.

"Fine, I’ll drink with you."

Caleb downed the whiskey in the glass.

A fleeting smile of triumph flashed in Claire’s eyes.

Together, she and Caleb consumed the entire whiskey tower.

"Now that we’ve finished the drinks, let’s go home."

"I don’t want to go home... Not like this..."

Claire’s voice choked up, tears flowing like broken pearls.

Caleb realized that Claire’s parents were also staying at Claire’s home, and going back in such a state wouldn’t be appropriate.

"Patrick, get me a room upstairs."

"Sure, I’ll do it right away."

After Patrick left, Caleb supported Claire as they went up.

Her face buried in Caleb’s shoulder, she couldn’t help but smile.

She specifically chose this place because the hotel above made it convenient to get a room.

The room lit up warmly and invitingly when the key card was inserted.
