Young Brother-in-law Is Now My Husband

Noah shook his head, "Did Lijun send you here saying how I must be working and drinking?"

"You guessed it, that means you know you were doing the wrong thing."

Noah said nothing on it and warned, "Stop emptying those beers. I bought it for myself."

Jake sat unaffected, swirling the can in his hand, "What is troubling you?.. Why you are torturing yourself being like this and not able to sleep at all?"

Noah frowned at the stubborn guy. "Don't draw conclusions on your own, Your Highness. Do you think I can not order more of them for myself?"

"Do it, and I will make sure to finish them all as well."

Noah was aware Jake would do it for sure and finally calmed down to get it in a peaceful way, "What will it take for you to leave?"

"Stop working and go sleep without drinking," Jake answered with a determined gaze as if he would not take no for an answer. 

Noah rolled his eyes as it was annoying being ordered by someone and this someone he could not let drink too much. He cared for him. "Fine. Now leave."

"I don't trust you," Jake said and opened another can, showing him that he won't stop drinking. 

Thud!

Noah shut his laptop screen and stood up. "I am going to sleep. Stop drinking and leave at once."

Jake nodded and watched Noah leaving and going to his bedroom. 

Click!

Jake heard the sound of door locking and chuckled, "Does he think I will barge in his room?" he emptied down the can in his hand as his eyes carried the pain he was feeling, "heartless asshole."

Noah was in bed for an hour but could not sleep. 'Did he leave? I didn't hear any sound coming from outside. He must have left. It's been an hour already or he would have made at least some noise.' Noah could not be at peace and got out of the bed to check on Jake. 

When he reached the living room, no one was there but… 

"What the fuck? Did he just finish all of these cans?" 

There were so many empty cans left on the carpeted floor with an empty carton left on the sofa.

"Where is he?" Noah looked around the living room but Jake was not there, "He sure would not even be able to walk properly." Noah anxiously checked everywhere in the room but Jake was not there. He looked at the shoe stand, "His shoes are not here. Did he leave in a drunken state?"

Noah put on his slippers and left home. He got into the elevator and went to the parking lot. "His car?" Noah searched and found it, "It's here," he sighed a relief that Jake at least didn't drive in his drunk state but, "Where did he go?" He pulled out his cell phone from the pocket and dialed Jake's number. The phone kept ringing but no one picked it up. "What the…"

In frustration, he ran hands through his hair and went to the security to enquire if they saw Jake leaving in any cab. The security guard was dozing off. "What…How can he sleep?" Noah shook him and asked, "Did you see my friend, the blond-haired guy came with a red sports car? The car is here but he is not. Did he leave in the cab?"

"I..am sorry, Sir. I happened to fall asleep. I didn't see anyone," the guard replied apologetically. 

Noah gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, "You…" and only sighed, "Okay, take me to the security room and I will check the camera footage."

"The room is locked as the incharge of it is on leave and the key is with him," Guard replied only to hear Noah exclaim, "Key? The security room uses keys and locks instead of a digital locking system with a password. Such a high class building with all facilities and this….?" Noah was so angry that he himself didn't know what he was talking about. Worry about Jake was killing him. "Pathetic," he cursed in front of a guard and hurried out of the main gate to check if he could  find Jake by chance but the entire road was empty. 

"Let me first call his assistant if he left in the cab," Noah dialed Jake's assistant's contact number and upon enquiring he got to know Jake was not in the hotel.

"Hotel is not far from here then? Brother Tian is still in England so he can't go there."

Noah hired one cab and searched for Jake along the roads till a certain distance as he could guess till how long a drunk guy could walk if he went by walking. After a while, the assistant once again confirmed that he could not find Jake. 

"Where did this guy go?"

Noah felt restless and regretted the way he acted with Jake but anger was taking over him as he gritted his teeth. 'The moment I find him, I am gonna beat the hell out of that royal asshole.'

Noah returned home feeling all frustrated. It's been more than two hours now since he last saw Jake before going to his room. He sat helplessly on the sofa, "I am sure going to beat him," and continued to stare at the ceiling while leaning at the back of the sofa.

He realized he could not be calm like this as he wanted to see Jake. 'Worrying and missing him like this is the worst thing I can ever feel. Why can't I just stop it?'

He stood up and looked at the door of another room which used to belong to Jake. His things were still there though Jake was living in the hotel. Sighing, Noah walked towards that room to ease that feeling of missing Jake. 

The moment he entered the room, his eyes left wide open as no word could make its way out of his mouth.
