“Sure, go ahead,” I replied.
With a nod, Jenifer made her way towards her husband.
Her poised figure soon blended into the crowd and disappeared from view.
After her departure, Brian approached us, his demeanor somewhat secretive.
“Carlos, Sally, I wish you both a happy marriage!” It was clear that Brian had indulged in the festivities; his face was flushed, and his steps wavered slightly.
His thick eyebrows and unshaven beard gave him aically rugged appearance.
Carlos burst intoughter at the sight of him.
“Ha-ha, Brian, who did your makeup? It’s quite a look!”
Brian, slightly bewildered, touched his face and replied with a hint of pride, “Mny did it for me.
It’s good, isn’t it?”
Theirughter continued for a moment before Carlos’ tone turned more serious.
“I heard about the drug development.
When are you getting out of prison? You can’t be there forever, especially with Mny.
She adores you, Brian.
Don’t let her down.
”
Caught off guard by the question, Brian hesitated briefly before responding vaguely, “Soon, I hope.
”
Debra’s POV:
“Brian, stop drinking!” Mny hurried after Brian, reaching for the ss in his hand.
He was unusually cheerful today, lifting the ss just out of her reach.
“It’s a rare chance for us to attend a wedding.
Let me drink a little more,” Brian implored.
Mny, hands on her hips, voiced her displeasure.
“But you’ve had plenty!”
“Not really.
Can’t have too much at such a joyful event,” Brian mumbled, striding towards the table.
His height and pace left Mny scurrying to keep up.
I noticed Brian endlessly drinking and mingling with guests from Roz Town.
His joy was evident.
Upon seeing me, a tipsy Brian ambled over.
“Debra, look after yourself.
You’re still weak from the tough childbirth.
It’s easy for you to fall ill.
”
I couldn’t shake the feeling something was off with him.
“Okay, I replied.
Once he moved away, I turned to Caleb, murmuring, “What’s up with Brian?”
Caleb responded calmly, “He’s just drained.
Developing the new drug in prison with Mny has taken a toll.
Now, he’s just unwinding.
”
But I suspected it was moreplex.
“Don’t you think he’s overly emotional?” I asked cautiously.Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org.
Caleb reassured with a smile, “Don’t worry.
Brian’s introverted.
After the misty forest incident, he’s been down, ming himself.
It’s fine for him to let loose a bit.
