Lilith saw him walking over and stood up with her purse in hand. Judging from the way Ben walked, it was obvious that he was
drunk.
Back when they had just known one another, Ben bragged all the tabout how he never got drunk, but his tolerance for alcohol
was indeed rather impressive in the past. However, as he grew older, his tolerance decreased along with it.
"Honey!" Ben walked toward her and opened his arms for a hug.
Lilith instantly wished that she could find a hole to bury herself in when she realized what he was doing. "How much did you
drink?" She took his arm and sat him down. "I'll go talk to Mike. Let's go home! Your mom thought that you were going to get drunk
until late at night and was worried sick!"

She turned to look for Mike, but Ben wrapped his arms around her waist and refused to let go.
"Honey, don't go... Don't go anywhere... Stay with me... You didn't spend twithat all today. I'm heartbroken..." Ben said,
rubbing his blushing cheek against her dress.
Rendered helpless, she said, "it's my brother's wedding day today. You and | both needed to look after the guests! How much did
you drink? How can you get yourself so drunk..."
"Honey, are you ashamed ofbecause I'm too old?" Ben said while sobbing. "I don't deserve you... | know that..."
"Hey! Quiet it down! Everyone is listening!" Her ears started the burn as her entire body felt as though it had been lit on fire.
If she was strong enough to carry Ben, she would have carried him out. She started to sense the others' eyes on them, everyone
looking as though they were enjoying the scene. Though she knew that none of them meant bad and would not spread the word
about this, she still felt embarrassed as she didn't think it was appropriate to talk about such private matters in public.
Ben was a proud man and if he sobered the next morning only to be informed that he had said such things in front of all the
guests, he would want to slap himself in the face.
"lI don't care... | don't care about them... | only care about you... Lilith... Can you stop being so ashamed of me... | feel so horrible
every tyou laugh at me... | feel like crying every single time.... | might look tough... but I'm really fragile... My heart is made of
glass when I'm with you..." Ben felt increasingly upset and started to cry.
Lilith was stunned. Not only did he start crying, he had used her dress to wipe his tears.
She desperately wanted to kick him off her, take her purse and flee the scene; unfortunately, he kept his arms locked around her

"Tammy! Help me!" Lilith spotted Tammy recording from afar and shouted frantically.
Jun tapped Tammy on the shoulder. "Tammy, stop recording! Lilith is calling out to you for help!"
"How am | supposed to help? Ben is too strong forto deal with! Go find a few bodyguards and carry him out!" Tammy
commanded.
Jun rubbed his nose sheepishly and went to look for the bodyguards, knowing that Lilith would lose her temper if they did not send
Ben away immediately.
Shortly after, two bodyguards cand dragged Ben out of the event hall.
Lilith felt as though her spine was about to snap in half.
