Chapter 1624: A War Without a Winner (Seventy-four)
When he opened his eyes again, Albert had a splitting headache. The feeling of being drunk was really uncomfortable. This was the first time he got himself drunk.
Covering his forehead with his hand, Albert's eyes swept around and found that he was lying in a somewhat unfamiliar living room, with something pressing on his chest. It was Valeria's cheek. The plump girl was hugging him tightly, and her whole body was almost squeezed together with his body.
After finally recalling the series of absurd things that happened last night, Albert struggled to prop up his body. His eyes stayed on the mature and attractive Catherine on his right for a moment, and then he looked away directly. For some reason, Albert had no desire.
Not far from here, Louise was curled up in a chair.
"Awake?"
A familiar voice suddenly sounded in his ears. Albert raised his hand to block the dazzling sunlight and looked at the familiar figure sitting in the armchair by the window in the living room reading.
Before Albert could speak, Valeria, who had been hugging him tightly, was finally awakened. She opened her eyes dazedly, and after covering her yawn, she habitually went into Albert's arms, as if she wanted him to hold her to sleep.
"Maybe, you should take another nap."
A glass of juice was brought to Albert's mouth, but he stretched out his hand to push it away.
"Lunch is ready. Are they awake?"
The door of the living room was pushed open again, and Katrina walked in. She swept her eyes across the chaotic living room, blinked at Albert and suggested: "You seem to be very tired. Why don't you take a rest and have lunch later?"
No
The voices of several people finally woke up the sleeping girls in the living room.
Catherine woke up with a shake of her head, and Louise, who was curled up on the cross chair, opened her eyes and sat up.
Everyone's eyes crossed in the living room, but the surroundings were surprisingly quiet, without exclamations, and even without talking.
Louise walked behind Albert, hugged him from behind, and put all her weight on him, as if only by his side could she feel at ease.
Catherine was also very tired. After looking at the three people hugging each other, she walked to Albert's side without thinking, pushed them to the carpet, and lay on Albert.
Looking at Albert surrounded by three girls, Isobel smiled and suggested: "You can take a hot bath first, and then take a nap after lunch."
The bathtub in the manor that was cast with the traceless stretching spell was large enough to accommodate six people taking a bath together.
Unfortunately, everyone looked very tired and no one had the heart to do anything.
After taking a bath, Isobel wiped Albert's body with a bath towel and asked with a smile: "How do you feel?"
"Very tired!" Albert told the truth, he was really exhausted.
Isobel smiled and kissed Albert's cheek and asked, "Besides that?"
"I can't remember. I really shouldn't drink. It feels terrible to be drunk." Albert muttered and leaned on Isobel's arms, wanting to fall asleep just like that.
Isobel touched Albert's head like coaxing a child and said, "Eat something first to replenish your energy."
After changing into a bathrobe and eating some easily digestible food specially prepared by the house elves, Albert lay back on the bed to catch up on his sleep.
This time, no girl came to disturb his rest.
After lunch, the other girls also returned to their respective rooms to rest.
When Albert woke up again, it was dark outside the window.
He stretched and yawned without any image, as if he had thrown away most of the fatigue accumulated from last night's revelry.
After a simple change of clothes, Albert planned to go eat something. When he passed by the living room, he heard the girls' silver bell-like laughter. When he pushed the door and walked in, the girls dressed in particularly cool clothes were sitting in the living room chatting. After discovering Albert, they stood up and surrounded him, gave him a kiss, and then pulled Albert to sit among them. "Let's have dinner first. You must be hungry." Isobel had asked the house elves to prepare a sumptuous dinner for Albert. In addition to the oysters that Albert didn't want to see recently, there were also steaks that had been cut into appropriate sizes, pork loins stir-fried over high heat, prawns steamed directly with oil, and white soup boiled with large fish heads. It can be described as a feast of fish and meat, that is... "Aren't you going to sit down and eat together?" Looking at the large table of dinner in front of him, Albert looked at the group of girls in front of him in confusion. "We have already eaten." Isobel explained. "Then this... I can't finish it, so it will be wasted." Albert raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Don't waste it, pick what you like and leave the rest to the house elves." Isobel seemed to have expected this situation and had thought of a solution.
Although Albert would specifically ask the house elves to prepare an extra portion for him, they actually didn't mind helping to finish off some of the leftovers from the banquet.
Albert ate very quickly and gracefully. In addition to oysters, he would add some to the plate.
However, this...
Looking at the heart-shaped steamed cake in front of him made of black beans, yam, walnuts, and sesame paste, Albert felt quite speechless. It is undeniable that he worked hard all night last night and really needed to replenish his body, but there was really no need to do this.
"What were you talking about just now?"
When Albert took out a handkerchief to wipe the corners of his mouth, he raised his wand and waved it gently at the dining table, sweeping away the plates on the table.
"That's a private topic for girls."
Louise's cheeks flushed slightly. She really didn't expect Catherine and Valeria to play so well, and even gave her a lot of advice to help her solve the problems she might encounter next.
"Including what happened last night."
Valeria did not shy away from Albert and reached out to touch him, but was slapped away.
"We talked a lot." Isobel smiled and talked about the topics the girls had talked about before, "about beauty potions, the opening of the witch beauty shop, vacation in the UK, last night, and the future."
"Louise is planning to have a child, and her family situation is similar to ours." Isobel paused and continued, "When you recover, accompany her first."
"Catherine also shared her first time with us."
After meeting Albert's gaze, Catherine was not embarrassed at all.
"I actually don't remember what it felt like at the time, anyway, it wasn't very comfortable." Catherine blinked at Albert and said, "But your skills are indeed much better, thanks to Isobel's willingness to share your life with us."
