Obedience No More He's the One I Deserved novel Chapter 165

There were five of them in the group. Back in high school, they drew lots to decide who was number one, two, and so on. The oldest was overseas, then Ethan, Brogan came third, and Alex ended up fourth.

Alex never truly accepted his spot. But since he couldn't beat anyone in a fight, he had no choice but to stay number four.

Brogan walked over and greeted Dawn with a smile. "Alex has always been a little weird. Don't pay him any mind."

Dawn shook her head. "Of course not. He's hilarious."

Hearing that, Alex puffed up, straightened his shirt, and lifted his chin. "You hear that? She says I'm funny. You guys just don't get it. Right, Dawn?"

He just let her treat him like a big brother, and now he was acting like she was the big sister.

Ethan placed the utensils in front of Dawn. "The chef here is a special invite from the Langleys. Try it out. If you like it, we come here all the time."

Brogan added, "You can eat here anytime. They'll even deliver if you ask."

Alex grumbled, "Why do I never get that kind of treatment?"

Alice balled up a napkin and tossed it at him. "Turn into a girl, and you'll get it. Want to try?"

Their bickering made the room lively and noisy, and Dawn felt her mood lift. All the tiredness from hiking earlier seemed to vanish.

Dawn had a couple, and her cheeks flushed pink.

The guys went off to play board games, while Alice sat beside Dawn with her drink. She whispered, "Hey, you two officially got married yesterday. Was last night wild?"

Dawn froze, caught off guard.

Indeed, no matter if it was guys or girls, conversations always seemed to come back to relationships.

She downed her drink in one go, voice barely above a whisper. "Not wild at all. We were about to start, but something came up, and then I just fell asleep."

"Asleep?"
