After I finally got my driver’s license, Noah suddenly called me, saying he had drunk too much at a business dinner and couldn’t drive, He wanted me, who had just got my license but refused to drive, to go pick him up.
On the phone, his voice was low and drawn out.
“You don’t want to come? It’s okay, I’m not used to others driving my car either, and I’m not used to riding in other people’s cars. If I really can’t, I’ll just drive home myself…”
“What? Drunk driving? You have a point. Then I’ll just sleep in the bar for the night, I don’t know who will pick up this handsome six–foot–tall guy, but it’s fine, really fine,”
Gritting my teeth, I took a taxi to the bar where Noah was. As soon as I entered, I saw him lazily smiling at his friends, not showing any signs of drunkenness. When he saw me, his eyes lit up and he waved at me.
“Melody!”

As I walked towards him, he was still grinning and introducing me to others, “Melody Brooks, my fiancée. You all must come to our wedding!”
I was nervous meeting Noah’s friends for the first time and nodded shyly at them.
Seeing that I had arrived, they all left. Noah hugged me and nuzzled my face, the smell of alcohol making me feel a bit dizzy too.
“Wait for me, I’m going to the bathroom. Then you can drive me home.”
I watched Noah go to the bathroom, wondering if I should find a waiter to keep an eye on him when suddenly a hand landed on my shoulder.
I turned around and came face to face with a drunk Paul.
“It really is you, you airhead!” Paul could barely stand straight, his eyes roaming lewdly over my chest as he snickered.
“Looks like you don’t like Adam that much after all. As soon as he left, you ran here to find men. I told you, you should have found me. I can
satisfy…” His words were cut short as Noah rushed over and punched him.
This punch also sobered up Paul. He got up, covering his face, but when he saw it was Noah, he didn’t dare to retaliate. He could only spit out a mouthful of bloody saliva hatefully.
“Damn it, what bad luck!
It’s
a
woman. It’s one thing for Adam to hit me, but you… you hit me for this kind of woman too.”
Paul hunched his shoulders, but his
eyes were full of malice when he looked at me.
“Mr. Chen, you don’t know! This girl tried to seduce me at the Lewis house before. She’s not a decent…”
But before he could finish his slanderous words, Noah kicked him to the ground again.
“Whether she’s good or not, I, her fiancé, would know. Do you need to run your mouth?”
Noah took out a wad of cash from his wallet and slapped it on Paul’s face.
“Take this and get your brain checked, you idiot.”
Noah got up, put his arm around my shoulders, and led me out of the bar, ignoring the painful cries behind us.
I looked at his profile, but remembered Adam’s cold and critical gaze from afar that afternoon when Paul slandered me.

“How about that, am I handsome?” Noah was grinning at me again. I couldn’t help but smile too. “Stop it, give me the car keys!”
Maybe it was because Noah looked so cool defending me that night, so cool that I even overlooked Paul’s words.
Overlooked that sentence about Adam hitting him too.
