Immortal's Love Story novel Chapter 10

But during those years on the island, I often felt a loneliness that nothing could shake off, as if life had suddenly lost its meaning, its direction.

Games bored me, beautiful scenery no longer excited me, and even food no longer brought me joy. The only thing that could help me sleep peacefully at night was a small glass of liquor at midnight.

So I opened a small bar, named "Endless."

I didn’t put much effort into running it, but business was decent.

Tonight, a few regulars came in, and we started drinking and playing Truth or Dare.

I lost. "Dare."

They egged me on, "Go find a handsome guy and ask him if he's up for a night."

That was too bold for me, so I refused.

"Just say it, and then we'll explain to him."

Not wanting these youngsters to think I couldn't handle it, I downed a glass of liquor and began scanning the room for a target.

A young girl pointed in a direction and said, "Sis, that one looks good. I caught a glimpse when I went to the bathroom earlier—absolutely top-notch, no regrets even if it turns serious!"

I was a bit tipsy, and the dim lighting in the bar made it even harder to see clearly.

But from the back, his figure looked decent. Since it was just a joke, and they'd explain afterward, I didn't mind.

So I walked over to him casually.

"Hey, handsome, up for a night?"

The guy turned around, looked me up and down, and grabbed my hand. "Arielle."

Although I was drunk, I hadn't completely lost my senses. When I saw him, I was so shocked that I quickly turned to leave.

But Eric tightly wrapped his arms around my waist. "If you leave again, I'll go crazy!"

The bar's staff and that group of friends thought I was being harassed and rushed over to help, some even ready to beat Eric up.

I feared the situation would escalate, and I was even more afraid of Eric getting hurt, so I had no choice but to stop everyone.

"We know each other."

After that, I brought Eric back to my place.

I poured him a glass of water, "Drink it, stay the night, and leave tomorrow."

Eric replied, "Just like that? Do you have any idea how hard it was for me to find you?"
