Burning Passion: Love Never Die

Chapter: 60

“Who’s still sober? Please,” he asked in a drunk voice, “take Debbie back to her house.”

A boy in the corner stood up with flushed cheeks and immediately volunteered. He was not drunk — he was just shy. He finally had a chance to be with the girl of his dreams alone.

“I didn’t drink too much, so I’ll be the one to take her back,”

Gregory announced. He put his glass on the table and walked towards the drunk girl. This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

Jared was a little surprised and taken aback that it was Gregory who took the initiative, but he immediately dismissed his suspicion and told the volunteer, “She lives in the Esastin Villa.” Among all her classmates, Debbie only had four friends who knew her address: Jared,

Kasie, Kristina, and Dixon.

Upon hearing that she lived in the Esastin Villa, Gregory paused. He felt mixed emotions flooding him from within.

The place where Debbie lived was a villa where only the richest and most powerful people of Alorith resided.

He had started to wonder why the girl of his dreams lived somewhere so luxurious. ‘What kind of family is she from?’ he thought to himself.

Finally, he picked Debbie up and proceeded to the door. He hailed a taxi and gently placed the girl inside before getting in himself.

‘What a silly girl! How bold she is to be this drunk! What if someone planned to take advantage of her state?’ the boy thought.

He stared at her while she was leaning against him with her cheeks colored in crimson. It was as though she had blush on. His heart skipped a beat when he saw such a beautiful sight.

He had been her high school classmate for three years, but he had never talked to her before. She was exactly his type — her cheerful spirit and bubbly character had made him completely fall in Love with her.

After they had taken the college entrance exam, he had thought that she would select the College of Music, if not the Institute of Physical

Education. After all, she excelled at both fields. She was gifted and she had no idea how many people she could attract with these attributes.

Gregory, however, saw himself without talent in both. The only thing he could do for the girl he loved was cheer her on with everyone else whenever she ran in Long-distance races. Indeed, that was his only idea of loving her; from a Long, long distance.

When Gregory knew that Debbie had applied to the Economics and

Management School, he felt thrilled. He couldn’t contain his excitement. The thought of going to the same school and being in the same class with her again made his day.

During their freshmen and sophomore years, they hadn’t been in the same class. Luckily, the Gods heard and granted his plea; they became classmates again.

Suddenly, a memory flashed into his mind. Despite being one of the terrible students, with terrible grades, Debbie remained excellent in his eyes. She may be a bad student, but for him, she was

admirable in all other things. Thinking about this, he had always thought that she was too good for him, and he had never been confident enough to strike a conversation with her. He thought he was incapable and lacking in many ways.

Even then, the same thought lingered in his mind. With this, he decided to keep his admiration to himself until he became successful enough to finally confess. These thoughts played in his mind as he occasionally glanced at her sleeping face.

Half an hour later, they arrived at Esastin Villa. The taxi was hailed by the guards at the entrance and Gregory didn’t know what to do. They didn’t let them through until they saw Debbie who was sleeping in the back seat.

Frantic, he said, “Debbie, wake up. Which way should we go?” Reaching out to her, he tried to wake her up by shaking her shoulders.

“Debbie?” he continued.

Drunk, Debbie couldn’t utter a single word, nor hear anything he just said. After a long while, with not a single response from her, Gregory told the taxi driver to wait. Opening the door and pulling her out of the taxi, he carried her and walked towards the villa she lived in. His eyes continuously wandered, as he was in awe of what he was seeing
