Renee''s words made Jamie feel even more guilty, and he subtly wiped off the sweat on his forehead.


    "Umm..." A sigh escaped Jamie as he decided toe clean, unable to see his childhood friend


    heartbroken like this." Well, it’s not what you think. My manor..."


    "Do you have wine? I want to have some wine!" Renee suddenly interrupted him, no longer interested


    in Jamie''s answer. She wasn''t an alcoholic, but she couldn''t stop drinking once she started. She would


    lose control of her emotions and do crazy things once she had some wine. When she was drunk, she


    would let her thoughts and actions run wild, and she knew she would feel more at ease in that state.


    Since she had let herself go, she might as well have more wine and get crazier so she could forget


    about everything once she woke up. At least, she didn''t have to worry too much about things then.


    "Wine?" Jamie''s body rxed when Renee stopped asking about the owner of the manor. He knew


    himself we 11—if Renee kept on asking, he might just confess the truth to her. He actually hadn''t been


    staying there, but he recently got a text from Stefan saying he wanted to purchase that manor to stay


    there long-term, but they didn''t need to transfer the ownership. In short, the manor was still owned by


    Jamie''s parents in writing, but the actual owner was Stefan. It was a risky business deal, and Stefan


    had only one request-that they don''t tell anyone he was staying there.


    Jamie had returned to clean up the things his family had left in the manor, but he suddenly got a call


    from Stefan that day requesting him to immediately move into the manor. Although he didn''t know what


    Stefan''s reasons were, he was too timid to ask about it, and just obediently moved into the manor.


    Then, he bumped into Renee, who had gotten drunk in the middle of the night and climbed up a tree to


    try and enter the manor.

    Jamie was no fool-he had read online about Stefan and Renee''s entanglement, so he quickly realized


    what was going on here. The whole affair had confused him, but he also felt sorry for them and what


    they had faced.


    "I''ve got a lot of whiskey here. Are you sure you want to have some?" Jamie raised his brows and said


    with interest, "If you do, I''ll get you some. You can tell me all about your problems." He did like a bit of


    gossip now and then, and he was hoping it could give him more insight about Renee and Stefan''s


    rtionship.


    "Stop talking and go get it already. I want a drink!" Renee yelled excitedly as she flopped down onto the


    sofa roughly. Before this, she didn''t know why some people became alcoholics, but at this moment, she


    knew how they felt... It was the feeling of wanting to drown your sorrows.


    Jamie soon returned with the alcohol. It was the strongest whiskey from his hometown, and when he


    unscrewed the cap, the strong scent of alcohol engulfed the living room. Renee acted like an addict


    and immediately snatched the bottle of whiskey, throwing her head back and gulping it down.


    After a while, Jamie asked tentatively, "Little girl, I''m curious about your situation with Mr. Hunt. Do you


    both love each other? You..." He was eager to learn more about their rtionship, but when he turned


    back to Renee, the words just died in his throat.
