“Hold on, I think I left my bag at the reception. I'll go fetch it,"

Ariana apologized to Mitchel, who nodded understandingly, assuring her he could manage with Sarah.

Ariana hastily retraced her steps to retrieve her bag, while Mitchel provided support to the drunk Sarah outside.

The surroundings were enveloped in darkness, a chilly breeze whispering through the air. Sarah gradually regained consciousness, her intoxicated state causing her to mistake Mitchel for someone else.

“Why are you here?" She wavered, restlessly clutching his arm as she stumbled into his embrace, half-jokingly exclaiming, “You're not here to break up with me, are you? I'm a pitiful mess..."

Mitchel was speechless.

Seeing Sarah's state, it was evident she had mistaken him for another person. If he let go, she would certainly hit the ground, so he fought the urge to.

Sarah heaved a sigh and gazed blankly at Mitchel.

“Aziel, you can't break up with me!"

Seeing Sarah drunk and unruly, Mitchel felt a headache rising. He grabbed Sarah's arm to prevent her from falling but kept his distance from her.

He rarely spent time alone with women, let alone a drunken one. He was simply at a loss.

Just then, Sarah looked at Mitchel seriously. Her head was tilted, and she narrowed her eyes while mumbling something unintelligible. Her body swayed uncontrollably when suddenly, she shrieked, “You are not him!"

Mitchel was expressionless when he tried to calm her down, "Miss Flynn, stand still."

Sarah immediately panicked and struggled wildly. She tried to push Mitchel away but couldn't steady herself because of the alcohol. She staggered and stumbled a little before balancing herself again.

Mitchel knew she would fall the moment he loosened his grip. He frowned and sighed helplessly.

Left with no choice, he clutched Sarah's arms firmly and pulled her closer to stabilize her.

There was still some distance between them, and he was only holding Sarah's arms. However, from a different angle, they looked like lovers who just finished quarreling and were Locked in an embrace.

Coincidentally, Aziel, who had just arrived, witnessed the scene.

Aziel felt a thousand needles piercing his heart at the sight of them embracing. He felt his heart ache and shatter to pieces as he approached the two slowly.

Aziel stared unblinkingly at Sarah with his reddened eyes.
