Chapter 258
Violet felt Patrick’s gaze. She became even more nervous for no reason. She looked at the cards in her hand and shook her head. After thinking for a while, she felt a little puzzled. Finally, she could only say, “I fold.”
Robert looked at Patrick.
Patrick gave him a warning look, indicating that he should not make things difficult for him indiscriminately.
Robert received his gaze and raised his eyebrows. “Patrick, are you going to bet?”
Patrick pulled a long face and took out his chips. “Yeah!”
Robert smiled and tidied up the cards in his hand. He picked up his phone and squeezed the cards together. He sent Patrick a WhatsApp message.
Robert said, “Patrick, you and Violet are ignoring each other. When are you planning to end your cold war? Do you need my help?”
Patrick casually held on to his hole cards and took a glimpse over them. He felt his phone vibrate. He took it out and took a look. Then, he looked at Robert with a deep
gaze.
Patrick said, “Don’t mess around!”
Robert said, “You have no conscience. Before you came, | had already told Violet about you buying this bar. | helped you so much. How can you misunderstand me like this? I’m so sad!
“And... Don’t you want to know how Violet treats you after you’re drunk? Will she care about you or leave you?”This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Patrick’s eyes flashed as he stared at Robert with an unreadable expression.
Robert was afraid that Patrick would not be moved, so he added another sentence.
Robert said, “Patrick, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Now that you’re drunk in front of her, if you black out, | can help you describe her reaction. It’s definitely worth. it. How about it? I’m afraid there won’t be such a good opportunity in the future!” Patrick saw that Robert had sent so many messages. In the end, he mercifully replied to him.
Patrick said, “Don’t go overboard!”
Robert immediately smiled.

Violet pursed her lips. “Previously, | signed a contract for a jewelry design program. The recording will start tomorrow. | have to sleep early!”
Robert did not expect this. He subconsciously looked at Patrick.
Patrick picked up his coat and stood up. He said expressionlessly, “I’ve been drinking. It can’t drive. I'll take your car!”
He stared straight at Violet as if the cold war between the two of them did not exist.
Violet frowned slightly and stood up. “Alright!”
Since Patrick had taken the initiative to speak, it was impossible for her to not give him respect on such an occasion.
Patrick turned around and walked out when he heard Violet's words.
Violet looked apologetically at Robert and Megan. “We're going home first!”
Even if Patrick wasn’t drunk, he couldn’t drive after drinking so much!
Robert curled his lips. “Don’t worry. Take good care of Patrick. He’s drunk!”
Violet saw that Patrick had already walked to the door. His footsteps were steady and did not show any signs of getting drunk. She looked at Robert suspiciously, nodded, took her purse, and left.
As soon as Violet left, Megan frowned and looked at Robert. “You're lying to Violet, right? No matter how | look at it, Patrick doesn’t look drunk!”
Robert smiled mysteriously. “You don’t understand. Some people look normal when they're drunk, but in fact... he’ll be exposed if you try!”
Megan frowned. She did not understand what Robert meant. She stood. up and said, “Drink slowly by yourself. I’m leaving!” Robert immediately put down his glass. “I'll send you off!”
Megan walked out without looking back. Robert quickly chased after her.
On Violet's side, she got into the driver’s seat and saw Patrick still standing by the car.
She lowered the window and frowned. “Aren’t you taking my car? Come up!”
Patrick looked straight at her. “Where should | sit?”
Violet looked at him with an unpredictable expression and said helplessly, “You can sit in the front passenger seat!”
Violet really did not understand Patrick’s reaction. However, she thought that Patrick probably took the initiative to speak tonight to ease the relationship between the two of them!
In the end, after Patrick obediently got into the car, she realized that she had made at huge mistake.
Patrick got into the car and sat motionless in the front passenger seat.
Violet frowned. “Put on your seatbelt and go home!”
Patrick turned to look at her and suddenly said, “Mom, don’t rush me. | said I’ll go home when | have time!”
Violet gripped the steering wheel as if she had been struck by lightning. She would. never have thought that Patrick, who looked extremely sober and spoke clearly, would call her mother.
She turned around stiffly and looked at Patrick. “What did you just call me?”
Patrick closed his eyes and said impatiently, “Mom, don’t bother me. I’m a little sleepy. I’ll sleep for a while!”
Violet swallowed hard. “What did you just call me?”
Patrick closed his eyes and ignored her.
Violet really believed it now. Robert was right. Patrick was drunk!
However, this was the first time she had seen a person imagine another as someone else when they were drunk.
She could not help but rub her face. Looking at Patrick with his eyes closed, she comforted herself that this must be a dream!
