GoodNovelChapter 104 After a while, I turned to Liam. "How about we grab a drink? My treat." Liam glanced at me, looking a bit surprised. "You? Drinking?" I turned my head and gave him a mock smile. "Not only can I drink, I bet I could drink you under the table. Want to test it out?" "Seriously? You?" Liam took the bait, immediately turning the car around. "Alright, let's see." Soon, we arrived at a club. It wasn't normal business hours yet, but with Liam's money, he quickly got us a private room and ordered an entire lineup of colorful drinks.
I wanted to drink and vent all my frustration. When the server brought the drinks, I grabbed a glass, poured myself a drink, and downed it in one go.

But Jack's manipulation had leftfeeling awful. I needed to vent, to drink until I was drunk, and then pick myself up to fight again. Liam wasn't much of a drinker, and after a few glasses, he was already rambling nonsense. Holding a glass in one hand and a cushion in the other, he slumped beside me.
"Eve, why should the grudges of the past generation be carried by the next?" he asked. "If someone has a kid but doesn't love them, why even bring them into the world?" I felt dizzy as I curled up in the corner of the couch, hugging my knees. I thought about what he said momentarily, then shook my head. "I don't know." "Right?" Liam's expression turned somber. "I've thought about it for many years and still haven't figured it out. I thought a straight-A student like you would have the answer." He gavea crooked smile, then flopped onto the couch, crossing his legs and shaking them on the coffee table. "Turns out you're just as clueless as I am." I hated being called clueless. I worked my way into one of the top universities in the country through sheer determination, and I was the second-highest scorer in Yardville.
"I'm definitely not as clueless as you!" I grabbed a pillow and whacked him in the face. "I was a top student! Keep talking nonsense, and I'll hit you again!" Caught off guard, Liam choked, making an oddly pig-like squeal.
I couldn't help but burst out laughing.
He stared at me, stunned, sitting upright with his bangs standing straight up from my hit. It made him look exactly like stroublemaker in a soap opera. "Why'd you hit me?" I laughed even harder. Seeinglaugh so much, Liam started laughing too.

The ceiling was designed to look like a night sky, and I began counting the stars one by one. When I reached 118, an answer suddenly cto me. "Liam." "Yeah?"
"They don't love us, but we can love ourselves. Liam, we just have to be if ourselves. Even if there are ΟΠmountains ahead, we'll climb over them. We'll get through all the hardships one day."
I waited for a response, but Liam didn't say anything called his nagain, but there was still no response.
A few moments later, the room was filled with the faint sound of snaring. I turned my head to see Liam fast En.
