Atrophy of Love: Mr. Harris, Stop Fooling Around! novel Chapter 6

William sat on the sofa while staring at her. These people were great at causing malice. They handed her concoctions of alcohol with the highest alcoholic content. Even if she was good at drinking, it still hurt her spleen and stomach.

Audrey straightened her back at one side. She looked like a peacock celebrating her victory.

William could not stand it anymore when he saw her mixing another strong drink for Sophia. He frowned and snatched the drink away. He downed the contents of the glass in one gulp. The spicy drink was like a knife, burning from his throat all the way down to his stomach.

Audrey came back to her senses, and her face turned green. “Will? What are you doing? That’s for Sophia.”

William glared at her. He did not say anything. Instead, he walked in front of Sophia and helped her up from the sofa. “Come with me.”

Sophia’s wrist was in pain when it was being grabbed by him. Before she could react, he was already pulling her out of the room.

“W-William, where are you taking me?”

He ignored her and pulled her outside. He only let go until they were downstairs and out of Dream Club. Sophia had a bad leg, so she could not balance herself. When he threw her like that, she fell lifelessly on the ground.

The bricks under her were ice cold. The sub-zero temperature sobered her up. She lifted her head and looked at him in confusion.

William frowned when he looked at her in this state. There was a lot of disappointment in his tone. “Is it fun to abandon yourself?”

She was slightly taken aback.

“Since you’re so reluctant to leave this feasting and pleasure-seeking life and you want to work as a welcoming lady here despite knowing that people will laugh at you, then why did you hurt Leah back then? Was it worth it to destroy Leah and yourself for Charles?”

“Will….”

Audrey caught up to them. She was holding a glass of alcohol. When she saw what was in front of her, she felt her heart tighten.

Back then, William had relentlessly chased after Sophia just like how Sophia relentlessly chased after Charles. If Sophia had not crashed into Leah while she was confused, William might not have given up on her.

Audrey was scared. She was scared that William might still have feelings for Sophia.
