As the night fell deeper, the silence grew thicker. Hugo and I stayed in our respective seats, casting each other a look every once in a while. He had stopped talking since we would end up arguing, draining the both of us each time.
I looked down, my thumb playing with each other. "Were you trying to start an affair with me?" I asked, breaking the prolonged silence.
"An affair?"
"Wasn't that the reason you are here with me and not with her?"
"Mhm... no? I cannot hurt my wife." My brows furrowed as I set my eyes on him, watching him tilt his head back. "She's too kind for that."
"If she's too kind for that, why did you drag me here?"
Hugo cast me a side-eye. "Want to have some drink? It looks like you won't pass out with just one glass now."
I remained silent and looked away. Even when I didn't answer, Hugo poured himself a glass and slid it on the table to me.
