Claudia's

POV

"What a stupid fool!" Isaac rolled his eyes.

"Hahaha! Do you see her face? I think she's going to explode." Toby laughed from the side. Neil and Fiona did bring us a lot of jokes, so Toby and Isaac reached a rare consensus.

After a few rounds of wine, the atmosphere between us was unprecedentedly harmonious. Toby asked the bartender to put all his stock in the store. We drank for a long time. When my vision began to blur, I seemed to see that Isaac had secretly mixed Toby's cup with strong alcohol. Toby immediately fell drunk on the sofa.

"What a child. I thought he could drink a lot." Isaac looked at Toby with disdain.

"Actually, he can drink a lot. As long as you don't secretly pour him vodka."

"Oh, you saw it. I thought I did it secretly." Isaac leaned close to me and my face began to heat up.

"Tell me, what do you want to say to me if you make him drunk?"

Isaac's tone was full of nostalgia. "Do you remember the past? Neil never dared to talk to me like this."

"Are you sure it's not because you, the elder brother, are too fierce?"

"I'm very nice to him."

"But Neil has indeed changed. He helped me for a while. Although I don't know why, I am very grateful to him."

"I remember at that time. I begged him to help you."

"It was you?! Why?"

"Oh..." Isaac pressed his temples and recalled, "Because I couldn't protect you directly." I looked into his eyes. He was not joking. He was telling the truth. Why had he never told me?

I couldn't figure it out and immediately changed the topic. "And Fiona, she always stayed by your side and scared away all the girls around you."

"Yes, her voice was too loud. Caesar complained to me that he was going deaf."

"Then why did you let her pester you?" I asked without thinking.

"Because she is Beta's daughter, and I have been friends with her since I was a child. She was not as mean as she is now." He looked at me. "Wait, are you jealous?"

"Perhaps." My brain was soaked with alcohol to say such things.

"Claudia..." Isaac held my face. "I love you, you know." He kissed me. I could feel that he was gently biting my lips and then wrapping our tongues together. The breath we were holding was the smell of alcohol, hot and charming. Isaac's hand was groping behind my back. He stroked my back, then my waist, and then down. I put my hand on his chest. I could touch his hard and warm muscles and hear his heartbeat.

"Hey, we're closing the door!" The bartender called us at the door. "You can go home and continue." He pointed to Toby on the sofa. "Remember to take him."

"Damn it!" A low growl came from Isaac's throat. He hated being interrupted. I suddenly woke up a little. God, what was I doing? But I didn't let Isaac see my panic.

"Help me." I pointed to Toby on the sofa. "This is your fault, and I can't carry him." Isaac gave me a resentful look.

Isaac threw Toby on the bed in the room downstairs. He complained to me. "I didn't even know you were living together."

"He is my assistant. It's more convenient to live together."

"He didn't do anything to you, did he?"

"What are you thinking? He is my younger brother." In my opinion, it was like this.

Isaac seemed to have heard what I was thinking. "Alright, he doesn't think so."

After a strange silence, "So, are you going back now?" I asked Isaac.

"I sent you such a thing home." He gesticulated exaggeratedly. "Are you going to drive me out like this?"

"Well, sofa. Or you can sleep with Toby."

"Don't be so cruel." Isaac's low voice beat my heart. "As long as you don't want to, I won't touch you. Let me accompany you, just like before."

The reason I made this decision was mainly because of alcohol. Nicole kept saying in my head, 'Let him stay!'

"All right." Before I could finish my words, Isaac held me horizontally. "Hey! Who let you be like this! Put me down."

"Shh, it's time to sleep."

Isaac gently placed me on the bed, and he laid beside me. I smelled the familiar scent of cedar again, which soothed my nerves. I unconsciously leaned close to him, hugged his waist, and buried my face in his chest. Isaac gently passed his hand through my hair, and I fell asleep with his gentle movements.

When I woke up, Isaac was still asleep. His eyes were covered by the shadow of his eyebrows in the early morning sun. I carefully touched his eyebrows and combed his beautiful eyebrows with my fingers.

Then I saw a pair of golden-brown eyes. "Got you!" Isaac looked at me with a playful smile. He grabbed my hand that stopped on his face. My face suddenly turned red. I wanted to withdraw my hand, but he put my hand to his lips and kissed it. "Okay, stop!" I pushed him off the bed. "You should go, or it will be difficult to explain if you are seen."

"I have nothing to explain."

I continued to push him. "I have."

"You are not afraid of that boy misunderstanding, are you?" He was talking about Toby. To be honest, I was a little worried. In fact, I didn't want anyone to misunderstand.

"Anyway, you should leave quickly." I pushed Isaac downstairs, but Toby's door opened at this time.

"What are you doing here?" Toby looked at me and then looked at Isaac. "What did you two do last night"

"Toby! Don't be so loud." He was so loud that the people around would know that we slept together last night. I sincerely said to Toby, "No. Nothing happened." The agitated mood and the dizziness of the hangover came to me. "Why are you explaining it to him?" Oh God, they were about to start again.

"Well, hurry up and leave." I pushed Isaac towards the door.

"He saw me. Why should I leave? Wait for me to finish breakfast." Isaac was so calm that it made me angry.

"Get out of my house!" Toby continued to shout at Isaac.

"I don't think this is your house. This is our pack."

Okay, okay. My head was blown up by the hangover and their noise at the same time. I felt like I was going to vomit." Alright, you two! Stop arguing. "I pointed at Isaac. "You, leave quickly after breakfast." I covered my mouth and ran to the toilet. "Here you go." Toby handed me a cup of water. "It helps with a hangover."

I drank all the water in the cup in one go. Toby looked at me in surprise. "Are you all right? Actually, you don't have to drink so fast."

"It smells so good." I smelled the smell of butter.

"Yes." Toby's face was full of disgust. "That bastard is making breakfast."

I didn't expect this. I went to the kitchen and saw Isaac busy in front of the stove. Isaac knew I was coming. He shoveled the food into the pot and put it on the plate. Then he slid the plate from the end of the table in front of me. "Have a taste." Isaac continued to look back.

"He shows off again!" Toby whispered in a voice that everyone could hear.

"If you say another word, eat the air." Isaac said with his back to us.

Toby swallowed his saliva and opened his mouth but could not say anything else.

"I am very happy to see you two get along well." I cut open the toast on the plate with a knife, and the crispy outer skin of the toast made a tempting sound. Isaac should have wrapped the toast with egg fluid and then fried it with butter. "This is delicious. I didn't expect you to make this."

Isaac slammed the plate in front of Toby, who protested. "Hey!" Isaac sat beside me with his own plate and said, "If you live with me, I will give you more surprises."

"Dream on. I won't live with you just because of breakfast."

Isaac said without a trace of emotion on his face. "I can help you warm the bed." Poor Toby choked on the milk after hearing this.

"Don't be too narcissistic." I put down the knife and fork in my hand and was ready to leave the table.

Isaac grabbed me, who was getting up. I lost my balance and fell on him. He said, "I only do this to you."

"Take your hand away from her!" Toby grabbed my left arm and tried to pull me out of Isaac's arms.

"No." Isaac held my waist with one hand, and his other hand was still using a fork to insert a piece of vomit.

As the two of them pulled, my head hurt again. I shouted in my heart, 'Moon Goddess, save me. I don't want to spit out the breakfast I just ate.
