Chapter 80.Â
Before he finished talking, an empty bottle smashed on his forehead, splitting his skin open.Â
Armando looked scary cold. He kicked the guy over and said, “Get lost!”Â
Xavier realized something was wrong and told the waiter to drag the guy out. What a fearless idiot. Who didn’t know Jovana was Armando’s bottom line? Don’t even talk about touching her-just looking at her too long could make that guy go crazy.Â
After this little episode.Â
Armando sat on the leather sofa, downing drink after drink, getting totally wasted, sending voice messages on his phone over and over, mumbling nonstop-Â
“Vana, baby, don’t ignore me…”Â
“You talk to me, I was wrong…”Â
“Don’t go, don’t go, okay…”Â
“Don’t go…”Â
A grown man actually just started crying like that.Â
In the end, it was Xavier who was afraid he’d drink himself to death here, so he threw away the bottle inÂ
his hand.Â
“You said what was going on with you today?”Â
Xavier couldn’t help sighing and dragged Armando upstairs.Â
At that moment, the door to the private room suddenly opened-Â
Juliette wore a white cotton dress and walked in carefully.Â
After seeing Xavier, she greeted him softly, “Xavier is here…”Â
Xavier frowned. He didn’t exactly dislike Juliette, but he didn’t really like her either.Â
“Why did you come?”Â
Juliette didn’t say much and just walked over to help Armando.”Xavier, let me help him upstairs.”Â
There’s an apartment upstairs, they stayed there a few times before.Â
“You go back, you don’t need to worry about this.”Â
Xavier didn’t let Juliette get her way.Â
Even though Armando really did spoil Juliette a lot most of the time.Â
But today he got drunk because of Jovana, and if he saw himself with his lover Juliette tomorrow morning, wouldn’t he feel even more guilty?Â
“What are you standing there for? Let’s go.” Xavier didn’t give her any room to argue.Â

Juliette was upset, biting her lip in frustration, not knowing what to say.Â
In the end, there was no other way, so I had to turn around awkwardly and walk toward the exit, looking back every few steps…Â
Suddenly, Armando suddenly ran over, hugged her, and his thin lips rubbed against her ear.Â
“Don’t go, don’t go, stay with me…”Â
Xavier said hey and went over to help him, but got pushed away.Â
Armando had practiced kick-boxing since he was a kid, and he had really strong hands. How could Xavier be a match for him?Â
“Xavier, I’ll stay with him, don’t worry.” Juliette held the man and smiled.Â
Armando held her tight like a big dog, kind of guarding her.Â
Seeing that, Xavier didn’t say anything else and just threw out, “Just don’t regret it when you wake up tomorrow morning!”Â
After saying that, he glanced at Juliette and left.Â
Juliette felt pretty uncomfortable being looked at like that.Â
What did I not regret after tomorrow?Â
If Armando had to be with Jovana, would he have been with her?Â
Jovana had a plain personality, like plain boiled water. Even women thought she was boring, and she couldn’t have kids either. In every way, she just couldn’t compare to her.Â
He would only regret meeting her too late!Â
She took a deep breath and finally felt a lot better. Then she helped Armando upstairs to the private room, put him on the bed, and helped him take off his clothes.Â
Looking at the handsome man in front of her, she just couldn’t hide the love in her eyes.Â
She leaned down and kissed his cold, thin lips.Â
Armando felt it, his big hand slid into her soft hair, and he kissed her even more passionately.Â
He kissed her forehead, nose, and lips.Â
Devout and sincere.Â
So gentle that people just wanted to drown in him.Â
“Baby, I loved you the most, don’t leave me…”Â
Juliette went all weak and held on tight to his strong back, “I’ll never leave you…”Â
It was past 2 a.m.Â
Armando was woken up by thirst, “Water… water…”Â
“What?” Juliette rubbed her eyes, looked up at him, and murmured softly.Â

Hearing that sound, Armando suddenly opened his eyes and saw he was lying in bed holding Juliette. Clumps of tissues were on the floor, and the lingering scent in the air showed everything that had just happened.Â
Armando’s temple throbbed. He had never despised himself like this!Â
He just bullied Jovana, got kicked out of the house, and now he’s already shacking up with his lover!Â
“Mando, you wanted some water, right? I’ll go get it for you now…”Â
