Sumr Sutton held her own glass and tilted her face back to drink it all.
It seed like she was trying to bolster her courage, drinking two or three glasses in succession.
Adrian Walyon was aware of her tolerance for alcohol and feared she might overdo it. He wanted to stop her, but Sumr Sutton slowly stood up.
The corners of her lips curved into a smile, bright in the night like the fleeting bloom of a flower, yet indescribably bitter. "Adrian Walyon, I want to know, do you still love ?"
She no longer called him Watt, but Adrian Walyon.
Watt stared at her stiffly, saying nothing.
Sumr Sutton stepped back two steps, arriving at the railing.
The sea breeze gently blew, brushing her face and tousling her hair, her red lips appearing even more enchanting in the night.
"If you love , I want you to choose between and the Winslow Family. Will you agree?"
After a pause, she suddenly added, "If you don’t love , then I’ll jump from here!"
She spoke decisively, and Watt’s eyes widened in shock, seemingly unable to believe what he had heard.
"Answer !" Sumr Sutton raised her voice.
What she was actually asking was not for him to choose between her and the Winslow Family; she wanted him to acknowledge his identity and return to her side!
Sumr Sutton was actually gambling, forcing him to admit his love for her. She didn’t believe Watt would watch her jump into the sea with open eyes.
Watt lowered his gaze, seemingly struggling with sothing.
His silence lasted too long, causing the expression on Sumr Sutton’s face to gradually solidify.
"You are no longer the man you were." The corners of her lips twitched with sarcasm, her heart even more bitter. "The old Adrian Walyon was buried at sea along with that accident."
"Sumr..." Watt’s lips moved, his voice a bit hoarse.
Before he could say anything, Sumr Sutton suddenly turned, climbing onto the railing.
Then, in Watt’s terrified gaze, the hand holding the railing released, her body falling straight toward the sea—
She said she’d jump, and she really jumped, without a mont’s hesitation, decisively and directly.
At that mont, she was drunk, two to three glasses of alcohol were enough to make her intoxicated with her tolerance.
In such a state, falling into the sea, the consequences were obvious.
She was risking her life!
All to force Watt to admit he loves her!
As a woman who once cherished her life so much, she could face life and death so calmly when it ca to him.
Watching her body fall into the sea at that mont, Watt’s heartbeat almost stopped instantly.
"Sumr—" A heart-wrenching voice echoed over the sea as Watt’s body lunged toward where Sumr Sutton fell, trying to catch her but just a step too late.
Sumr Sutton’s body fell straight into the sea.
Thunk!
A huge splash echoed over the sea, and upon falling, she didn’t struggle at all, subrging straight into the seawater.
Watt’s mind didn’t even have ti to process anything. As Sumr Sutton’s body sank into the sea, there was imdiately another splash, and Watt’s body followed into the sea.
The area where the restaurant was located had shallow waters; Sumr Sutton had assessed the safety before jumping.
She loved Adrian Walyon, but as long as he was alive, she wouldn’t be foolish enough to disregard her own life.
If she were gone, how would she continue to love him?
Sumr Sutton wasn’t gambling her life; she was gambling with Watt’s heart!
