Renee timely held him back, preventing him from hurting himself, "It's not your fault, it's my own doing. I...in any case, don't blame yourself, it really has nothing to do with you."
Had she not said this, it would have been better; the more she said it, the more Austin felt pained.
He believed Renee was trying to help him, which led to the current situation, bearing this hurt.
"What do you plan to do now? What did Adam say? Is he going to take responsibility?" Austin was distraught; he didn't want Adam to be responsible, but if Adam wasn't, he would be furious.
Renee lowered her head, most of her face shrouded in shadow, speaking in a low mood, "He didn't say anything, I said not to make him responsible. We're all adults now, he was just drunk, and I know about his girlfriend now, he really likes his girlfriend. I hope he pretends nothing happened, so he can live without any psychological burden."
