They Want Me Back When It's Too Late (Jessica and Brian) novel Chapter 283

Chapter 283

Chapter 283

Without waiting for conversation, she found herself a booth and sat alone, letting the burn of the alcohol take the place of everything she couldn’t say

It didn’t take long for others in the bar to notice her.

“Hey there, gorgeous. All alone? Mind if I join you for a drink?”

Sana, already tipsy from the whiskey, slapped away the hand that had landed on her shoulder without hesitation.

“Back off. Don’t touch me. Men are all bastards!”

Just the thought of how she’d once tried to play matchmaker between Brian and Jessica made her blood boil. Brian didn’t deserve Jessica, not even close.

Back then, seeing him visit the hospital every day, she’d actually believed he was genuinely remorseful, hoping for reconciliation. But he already had a child with his mistress and still had the audacity to harass Jessica. It was beyond shameless.

“Get lost. All of you! Get the hell away from me!”

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Fueled by alcohol and pent–up rage, Sana stood up, grabbing her bottle and waving it threateningly at the group of men who had started circling her.

She wasn’t wasted yet, and she could read their intentions a mile away.

The men backed off without another word, and Sana let out a scoff of contempt before collapsing back into her booth.

She raised her glass again, like it was the only thing in the room that hadn’t betrayed her, and drank deeply.

After that little outburst, no one dared to approach her again.

One glass of whiskey turned into two, then three. It didn’t take long for the liquor to hit her hard. But Sana refused to admit she was drunk.

“Jessi… oh my poor Jessi…” she sobbed as she poured herself yet another drink.

“Here, let’s have one together, Jessi… after we drink, you can cry all you want. No, wait, you can’t drink. You’re pregnant, I’ll drink for you. I’ll take it all… oh, Jessi… why is your life so damn unfair?”

She downed her glass in one gulp, then looked across the empty booth and burst into a crooked smile.

“Jessi’s not even here. God, I’m such an idiot… heh, what a fool…”

But her laughter didn’t last. It curdled quickly into grief when she remembered why Jessica wasn’t there. She was pregnant with Brian’s child. And Brian, in the meantime, had gotten his mistress pregnant too.

The bitterness came rushing back. “You must be angry,/Jessi, right? You have to be… how could you not be?”

Even as an outsider, Sana could barely contain her fury.

Jessica, who had to live through it all, must have felt far worse. And yet she’d kept it all in.

Sana had only stumbled upon a single glimpse of what Jessica was enduring. Who knew how many other humiliations Jessi had suffered quietly?

The more she thought about it, the more it broke her heart.

Jessica was too good, and those people just kept hurting her.

“Why?” she muttered, the question lost somewhere between a whisper and a cry. “Why does it have to be like this?”

Chapter 283

Head thrown back, she poured herself another drink. Then another. And another. Before long, she was completely drunk,

Eventually, her head slumped forward, arms sprawled across the table. She didn’t move for a long while.
