True Love Waits novel Chapter 826

As a father, the only thing Carlos could do to help her out was to give her a shoulder to cry on. Unrequited love was the worst.

The car drove away and Terilynn's tears fell like rain. She stared out the window, her tears blurring the wonders of the city.

At the Huo Residence

It was almost midnight and the lights were still on in the Huo Residence. Neither daughter had come back yet.

Debbie waited for Carlos and Terilynn in the living room. Bennett opened the door and walked in. Later, Carlos walked in, Terilynn in his arms.

Debbie hurried over and asked anxiously, "God, she reeks of alcohol! How much did she have?" She turned to a housemaid. "Get some hangover soup upstairs—quickly."

"Yes, ma'am."

Bennett answered honestly, "Miss Huo drank nearly an entire bottle."

Debbie sighed. Then she followed Carlos upstairs.

Carlos carefully set Terilynn down on the bed, took off her shoes, and adjusted her sleeping position. Then he tucked her in.

Debbie took the hangover soup the housemaid had made for her. She walked over to the bed and asked Carlos to hold Terilynn, forcing her to take a few sips of the soup.

When the housemaid came back downstairs with an empty bowl, she happened to run into Evelyn, who just came back from work.

Evelyn could smell the alcohol in the living room. When she saw the empty bowl, she asked the maid, "Did Terilynn have another meal?"

The maid shook her head, "No, Miss Terilynn Huo came home drunk. Mrs. Huo just fed her some soup to sober her up."

"Drunk? Terilynn?"

"Yes, Miss Huo."

Evelyn frowned, wondering why Terilynn was drunk. She was just a student. "Okay. Thanks." Then she went straight to Terilynn's room.

Carlos and Debbie had just left the room and closed the door.

"Father, Mother, what's wrong with her?" Evelyn asked.

Since it was about relationships, it was more of Debbie's area. After looking at each other, she said to Carlos, "You need a shower. I'll come over later."

"Okay," Carlos replied. He knew his wife wanted to talk to their elder daughter in private. Evelyn had been working hard. Carlos was a little worried about her. Before going to his bedroom, he reminded her, "Since Terilynn has already turned in, maybe you should do the same. Don't stay up late."

"Okay, Dad."

Debbie led her back to Terilynn's room. The window was open, but she could still smell the stench of drunkenness. Not entirely alcohol, but a human component as well. It positively reeked.

Evelyn walked to the bedside and looked at her sister. "Who did she drink with?"

"She was alone."

"What's wrong with her?"

Debbie sighed. "I thought you knew. Terilynn has a thing for Tayson."

Terilynn had asked Carlos to appoint Tayson to be her bodyguard several times, but Carlos shut her down each time.
