Chapter: 120

I was so surprised that I simply looked at him blankly. Wasn’t Caleb a proud Alpha? How could he choose to quit when he was only a step away from victory?

Carlos folded his arms over his chest and Looked at Caleb knowingly. He teased, “It seems that someone’s willing to lose face in the name of love.”

Caleb ignored Carlos. Addressing everyone in the bar, he said flatly, “Drinks tonight are on me.”

“Yay!” The audience burst into loud cheers. The heavy atmosphere in the bar was lifted.

Only Zoe, who was still standing by the referee’s seat, pursed her Lips in dissatisfaction. Eventually, she muttered something under her breath and walked over to the bar.

I was about to take Harlan and go, but the cheering crowd quickly surrounded him. They lifted Harlan up on their shoulders as though he was their hero for winning free beer for everyone.

“Harlan! Harlan!” they chanted excitedly.

The crowd shut me out, and there was no way for me to squeeze past them. In the end, I could only shout Harlan’s name from the sidelines. But there were too many of them cheering him on, and my voice was soon drowned out by the crowd.

In the chaos, someone shoved me and I fell backward.

I thought I was going to hit the floor. I closed my eyes and winced, waiting to feel the inevitable pain.

But unexpectedly, a pair of strong arms caught me. I fell into a warm, secure embrace.

A familiar scent filled to my nose, mixed with the faint smell of alcohol. I could feel the person was protecting my head with one hand, while the other was wrapped firmly around my waist.

I slowly peeled my eyes open, only to meet Caleb’s nervous gaze.

“Debra, are you okay?” His emerald eyes were bright, like gems twinkling under the sunshine. They were staring straight at me, filled with concern.

Stunned, I shook my head in a daze. “I’m fine.” “I’m getting you out of here,” Caleb said. He gently scooped me up and carried me outside.

Despite the surging crowd, he managed to shield me from the chaos as he walked to the exit with steady steps.

At this moment, it was as though the whole world had become hazy. ALL I could see was Caleb’s handsome face. When he looked back at me, it was as though he was looking at a rare and precious treasure.

My heart was beating so violently in my chest that I was worried I might have a heart attack.

Even I couldn’t deny the fatal attraction between me and Caleb at this moment. His intoxicating scent was making me go so crazy that I couldn’t think straight.

After walking out of the bar, Caleb carefully put me down. He Looked at me up and down as if to make sure that I was unharmed.

“Quit staring at me Like that. I said I’m fine.”

I pushed Caleb away uncomfortably and took a few steps back, putting some distance between us. “Thanks, I guess.”
