Chapter 4538
When Rosalie’s hands began tugging at his shirt buttons, River finally seized her wrists with a low growl.“Rosalie, don’t play with fire.”He had allowed the kisses to be peppered across his face and neck. It was evidence to present to Grandpa Lafayette tomorrow, so that he could demand she take responsibility.However, he could not allow her to go too far. If she undressed him, his self-control would shatter. He was still a man, after all.Rosalie wanted to continue her efforts, but River pinned her against his chest. After a few weak struggles, she slumped into him, succumbing to sleep.Soon, the car arrived at Springfield Manor.Enzo parked and said, “Sir, the lights are all out. The family must be asleep.”River knew Rosalie’s health-conscious parents retired by ten sharp. Though Mr. Lambert’s banquet had not yet officially ended when they left, most of the guests had already left, so it was safe to say it was sufficiently late.“I’ll call Damian Lafayette.”River did not

Christian hurried forward, grabbing Rosalie's wrist as he apologized to River, “My apologies, Mr. York. Rosalie has had too much to drink. I’ll take her home now.”He tried pulling her away, coaxing gently, “Rosalie, let’s go. You’re drunk.”However, Rosalie wrenched free again, crowding into River's space with a tipsy grin.“Here, handsome, let big sis take good care of you. I love pretty boys like you the most. You’re so handsome.”Her hands roamed shamelessly, cupping his face and trailing down his neck, until River caught her wrists mid-descent.Staring at her giggling face, he asked Christian, “Why did you let her drink so much? This is how she acts when she’s drunk?”If she tried this on someone less scrupulous, she would be in trouble. Christian sighed.“After she spoke with you earlier, she was upset. She started downing every drink offered and even sought out toasts herself. I tried stopping her, but she wouldn’t stop.“She sent me to check if you’d left, worried you’d

Christian had promised Rosalie’s mother to keep her out of trouble, so while part of him was really curious to see if she would really become flirtatious when drunk, duty won out. He tried his best to steer her toward the exit.“The wine’s so good… Let’s have two more! Christian, you’re back! Come, drink with me. I’m in a mood.”Rosalie clung to his arm and dug in her heels, refusing to budge as she kept asking for more alcohol and praising the wine that night.Christian tightened his grip, coaxing her toward the door.“Rosalie, the party’s winding down. Everyone’s leaving, and we should too. I’ll drink with you another time.“If you’re upset, we can stop on the way home. You can scream into the night sky and get it all out. You’ll feel better.”Half-dragging, half-carrying her, he finally got her outside.“Wow—so many stars tonight… and the moon’s so pretty too! What a perfect night.”Rosalie stopped and pointed toward the stars. Then, without warning, she flopped against Chris

Christian could not stop Rosalie. In fact, she even covered for him, downing drinks on his behalf during toasts.Worried she would soon be wasted, he finally grabbed her arm.“Rosalie, let’s go. We’ll say goodbye to Mr. Lambert and head out. It’s late.”“Is River gone yet?” Rosalie suddenly asked.“No idea. Haven’t seen him in a while.” Christian paused, realization dawning on him. “Wait, did you drink this much because he pissed you off?“And why does it matter if he’s left? Are we not leaving before he does?”Was she really that fixated on River?Christian noticed her unusual preoccupation but did not mind. After all, they were not officially dating and were just testing the waters. If things did not work out, they would remain friends.“He’ll tattle to my grandfather,” Rosalie muttered.“Earlier, when I stepped outside for a bit, I threw a drink at him. And kicked him.”Christian was speechless for a moment.“You know, you really should be more considerate of Mr. Lamber

Rosalie huffed.“Please. Getting to know you was the unluckiest moment of my life.“You say countless women want to marry you, so why aren’t you hitched yet? Didn’t Ms. Saunders just track you down earlier? What, did you reject her too?”She was well aware of Ms. Saunders’ feelings for River, just like she knew many high-powered career women adored him.River met her gaze.“I’ve said before, I don’t like dating older women. Ms. Saunders is a great person, but she’s two years older than I am. Around her, I feel like a little brother. She’s too nurturing, too considerate.“It’s like she’s babysitting. I don’t enjoy that vibe.His eyes burned with a brighter flame as he added,“I prefer women like my wife.”The way he looked at her made Rosalie nearly upend her glass onto him.“Rosalie!” Christian’s voice called from across the garden in perfect timing to rescue her.She drained the last two glasses in one go, slammed them down, and stood as she said to River, “I’ll let you off

At the sight of River’s speechless face, Rosalie smiled triumphantly.Then, in the next breath, River pulled out his phone and said, “Give me your bank account number. I’ll transfer the money to you right now. Go buy whatever you want tomorrow, but bring back the receipts.“I need proof you actually spent my money on those things and didn’t just use it to pamper some pretty boy like Christian.“He’s not even half as good-looking as I am, Rosalie. Raise your standards. Don’t just pick any random person off the streets. If you’re going to keep a boy toy, at least pick one better looking than me.”Rosalie was speechless for a moment.“River, are you jealous?”Suddenly intrigued, she studied him.“Have you secretly fallen for me? Did you get jealous when you saw me turn up with Christian tonight? You’ve been targeting Christian all night, trying to smear him the moment you saw him.“You wish you could tear us apart immediately. I’m not wrong, am I? That’s exactly what you’ve been d
