Chapter 29 West nodded immediately . " You're when he's drunk , so how about we- " Let's bring him to my place . " Norwo deep voice . " You've heard him calli word , he's going to come after me Norwood and Alaric were longtime knew West and Claudia . Coupled with his reserved nature , h during conversations and would ge up , though , his tone made it hard f Just like now . Meanwhile , Claudia was staring at Chapter 29 I Can't Understand You always felt disliked by him for some reason . But he's good friends with Al , so maybe it's just my imagination . West was at a loss for words and spoke up for her , " Al's drunk and might not even remember what he said when he wakes up . Why do you have to take it so seriously ? " After he said that , he giggled and looked toward Claudia . " Plus , you're also a man , so you can't be as meticulous as Claudia when taking care of Al . I think we should send him to her place . " Norwood did not say anything further and looked at West with his dark gaze . " I said , send him to my place . If you're worried , you can stay at my place to take care of him . " At that , West argued , " Norwood , why are you- " " It's fine , West . Let's just go with Norwood's idea and send Al to his place ." Claudia smiled . " Norwood is more mature than us , so it'd be better if he takes care of Al tonight . I wasn't thinking straight earlier . " Chapter 29 I Can't Understand You Once she finished her words , she gave Norwood a kind smile , but inside , she was furious . Norwood was one of Alaric's best friends , so she did not want to offend him , as doing so would only make things hard for herself . Naturally , she would not hinder herself like this . Following that , everyone helped Alaric to Norwood's home . Once they finally helped the drunken man settle down , Norwood said , " It's the middle of the night , and it's not appropriate for a young woman like you to stay with three men . West , send her home . " West was dumbfounded . " But didn't you say that we can stay over to take care- Before he could finish , Claudia interrupted him . " West , let's go . Norwood's right . It's not appropriate for me to stay here . " While scratching his head , West sent her home accordingly without 3/10 Chapter 29 I Can't Understand You another word . After sending Claudia home , he plopped onto the couch at about 2.00AM . When he saw Norwood coming out of the room , he asked , " How's Al ? Is he doing okay ? " Norwood grabbed a bottle of cold water from the fridge and drank it before setting it down . " He seems fine . He hasn't woken up . " " Cool . " West felt relieved but soon thought of something and pouted . " Norwood , I can't seem to understand what you were thinking tonight . You knew Claudia likes Al , and Al likes her back , but why did you stop us from bringing him to her place ? " While sweeping his gaze across West , Norwood replied , " If your brain is still intact , you wouldn't think of sending a married man to a single woman's home . " " So , what if we did ? It's not like you don't know what's going on with Al . He Chapter 29 I Can't Understand You and Victoria aren't exactly married anyway . " Norwood stared deeply at West and questioned , " How do you know that ? " After a scoff , West replied , " Of course , I know . Let's not talk about anything else but what happened tonight . You called her and said Al was drunk , right ? Then , you asked her to come over , but what happened ? Did she appear ? I didn't even see her shadow . " 5/10 When mentioning this matter , Norwood felt confused . When he suggested Victoria come over , her attitude did not sound like she was unwilling to do so , so why did she not show up ? The truth was , while West was sending Claudia home , Norwood phoned Victoria again . This time , it took him two to three calls before reaching her . Then , he noticed her voice had turned cold , and her attitude was completely different from before . " What's the matter ? " Chapter 29 I Can't Understand You While he was surprised by her sudden change in attitude , Norwood seemed to have caught on to something and asked , " Did you come over ? What did you see? " The other side was silent for a moment before speaking up again , " I didn't head over . Since you're with him , please take good care of him . " After saying that , she hung up . At first , he thought Victoria was a relentless woman , but it took him a while before he finally realized the meaning behind her words and began analyzing what had happened . If Victoria did not head out as she said , she would have asked about what she ' should have seen ' when he asked her that question instead of keeping quiet . Also , she would not have said she never went out in such a tone . When he returned to his senses , he heard West still complaining about her . 6/10 Chapter 29 I Can't Understand You " How can such a cold woman compare to Claudia ? Claudia is Al's savior and almost gave up her life to save him back then . The scar from that incident is still on her hand . If I were Al , I would marry her . " " Are you combining favor with feelings ? " " Why can't I ? Claudia is so pretty . Any man would fall in love with her , let alone a man she saved . So , what if I mixed them up ? " At that , Norwood did not intend to argue with him and returned to his room . The long night passed . When Alaric awoke the next day , he felt a dull pain in his head . Even his ability to think had turned sluggish as he looked at his unfamiliar surroundings and sat up . 10:48 Mon , Chapter 29 I Can't Understand You " You're awake . " Norwood placed a glass of warm water before him . " Drink up . " Seeing that it was him , Alaric felt a little disappointed but also relieved . He pursed his lips before finishing the glass of water in one go . After he finished , he held the glass in his hand while frowning . Moments later , he looked at Norwood . " What happened last night ? " " Have you forgotten ? You were drunk , so West and I brought you here . " Alaric was dissatisfied with that answer and frowned , but he did not say anything . Since he did not speak up , Norwood did not say anything either and simply stared at him . As his good friend , he was eager to see how long Alaric could hold in his question . Like how Norwood envisioned , Alaric looked up at him after not hearing what he wanted to hear . Something was concealed in his eyes as he parted his thin lips to ask , " What happened next ? " 8/10 10:48 Mon , 19 Jun Chapter 29 I Can't Understand You Norwood answered seriously , " What happened next ? Nothing . " Alaric stared at him with his dark eyes upon hearing that . At that moment , Norwood seemed to have suddenly remembered something and said , " That's right . She came . " " She ? " When Alaric heard that , he perked up his ears , and his previously dimmed eyes suddenly brightened a little . " Yes . She said she wanted to look after you , but you asked me to bring you here , so I did . " Alaric frowned . " When did you become so obedient ? " " I have no choice but to listen to you . " Norwood exasperatedly added , " After all , bringing a grown man like you to her home will affect her image ." Hearing that , Alaric finally realized something was amiss . " Who is the ' she ' 9/10 10:48 Mon , 19 Jun Chapter 29 I Can't Understand You you're talking about ? " ࿄ ར £ 80 % ●
