Chapter 72 If you don't want to pursue her, I will
Louis finished his drink, his face filled with regret. Mark stared at him and cautioned, "Careful with your words, mate."
He glanced meaningfully at Ivan.
"The man who was with Haley just now might be unfamiliar to you, but I often hear about him," Louis wobbled his head and explained.
"He's from Country M, the typical heir of a wealthy family. People call him the Prince of Romance because he always has different women around him."
Mark looked disbelieving. "Is there actually someone more playboy than you?"
"Haley is not easy to mess with, yet she fell into Thomas's hands," Louis sighed, "It's such a waste for this beautiful woman to be matched with Thomas. The bar owner mentioned that a wealthy individual was scammed, seemingly referring to Thomas. You can imagine who this Mr. Ellen is, right?"
"What kind of person is Stein?" Ivan's cold gaze swept over. "Who told you that she fell for Thomas?"
"Isn't it obvious?" Louis said, "When two people embrace and leave together, they must be lovers."
Ivan's face turned colder, "She couldn't possibly be interested in someone like him."
He had come to drink tonight to ease his frustration, but seeing that scene just now only worsened his mood. He tilted his head back and downed another glass of wine. Louis and Mark couldn't help but exchange glances. Was he drowning his sorrows in alcohol?
"Hey, Ivan, you don't happen to have feelings for Haley, do you?" Louis whispered.
In their circle, playing around with different people was normal. One day they could be interested in a woman, and the next it could be a completely different woman. For example, Louis was interested in Haley today, but if she didn't pay attention to him, he would immediately pursue someone else.
But Ivan was different. Having known him for so long, it was the first time they had seen him interested in a woman.
"Ivan, if you really like Haley, we'll help you," Louis patted his chest. "With me around, you'll definitely succeed."
Ivan's thin lips coldly uttered a remark, "If you want to be a sugar daddy, feel free to pursue her."
Louis clinked glasses with Mark and cheerfully said, "Mark, whether Haley has a daughter or son, it would be great if it's a daughter. If I can win her over, won't I have another sweetie? Even if it's just for that, I'll put in the effort to pursue her."
With each word Louis spoke, Ivan's expression grew increasingly unpleasant.
...
Haley exerted a lot of effort, to get Thomas into the car, and finally brought him home. She threw him onto the couch, not wanting to bother with him anymore.
Thomas, attempting to lighten the mood, grabbed her wrist, pitifully pleading, "Haley, I feel terrible. Can you give me some hot water... and wipe my face with a warm towel? My head is spinning..."
Haley really wanted to throw him out. But considering that he didn't know anyone in Cuenca, she had no choice but to go fetch the water. Todd came downstairs and immediately noticed the kiss marks on Thomas' body and the strong scent of perfume.
His eyes narrowed as he asked, "Thomas, what happened?"
"Todd, I'm so miserable!" Thomas lamented, "I was drugged, deceived, and even beaten..."
Todd, although clever and mature for his age, had some knowledge blind spots. He furrowed his brow, "What?"
"Thomas, shut it. Don't corrupt my son!" Haley walked over and threw the hot towel onto Thomas' face.
