Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You Novel

Chapter 257 Without waiting for Andrews input , the two women eagerly ordered drinks .

The restaurant manager approached with a respectful smile to make suggestions .

Ms.

Rhodes , Ms.

Aicker , for refined young ladies like yourselves , Id recommend our premium wine selection , the manager suggested smoothly .

Its gentle on the throat and wont leave you feeling unwell .

Lauren scoffed at his recommendation .

Who do you think we are ? Bring us your best vodka ! Francesca slapped the table in agreement , adding Exactly ! Wine tastes like fancy water .

We want the strong stuff ! The manager turned helplessly to Andrew , clearly impressed that this mysterious man had earned the company of two of Jayrodales most prominent heiresses .

Andrew simply smiled and said , Let them have whatever they want .

Their happiness is what matters .

By the end of the meal , they had barely touched the food but had emptied two bottles of premium vodka .

Andrew was amazed at Lauren and Francescas tolerance .

The alcohol level was really high , yet each woman had finished an entire bottle .

Lauren leaned against Andrew , her breath sweet with alcohol as she murmured , Dr.

Lloyd , I have a secret Ive wanted to tell you .

Andrew , who had barely drunk anything himself , smiled and replied , Im all ears , Ms.

Rhodes .

11 Lauren moved closer , her perfume subtle and intoxicating as she gazed at Andrew until he felt almost shy .

Finally , she whispered softly , I … have fallen for you ! The simple confession caught Andrew completely off guard .

Looking at Laurens flushed face and stunning features , he found himself at a loss for words .

The alcohol had made Laurens thoughts fuzzy as she curled up against Andrews chest .

I dont want to marry into the Driscoll family , she mumbled .

Ive only ever liked Dr.

Lloyd .

I hope youll give me that King of Diamonds … With that , she drifted off to sleep while still clutching Andrews shirt .

Andrew could only smile wryly at the situation .

Did he just receive a drunken confession ? However , Lauren had mentioned the Driscoll family .

It seemed the Rhodes family had arranged a marriage alliance that she clearly did not want .

Fran , are you okay ? Andrew called out with concern to Francesca , who had also drunk quite a bit .

Looking up , he found she had already curled up asleep in her corner of the couch .

Andrew rubbed his temples , wondering what he was supposed to do now that both women had passed out from drinking .
