Lyra's expression gradually froze, staring at him in disbelief.
The tone was a bit gloomy.
"You don't even believe me?"
Anthony snorted, "Silly girl, I'm kidding with you. Of course I trust you, but did you or Melvin prepare this wine? I can't trust him."
Lyra showed him the red wine glass that was already empty in her hand.
"I drank it all, and if the wine was tampered with, it should have been me who fall first."
Anthony did not speak, shook the glass of red wine in his hand and still did not drinking.
Lyra was a little upset. She muttered and looked at the whole bottle of red wine next to her, "Do you want me to finish the whole bottle of red wine like you did last time? So you can believe me?"
Anthony was silent.
Lyra felt wronged and acted rashly to reach for the entire bottle of wine on the table.
Anthony stopped her, "I believe you. Even if this bottle of wine is poison, I will drink it, because you are beautiful poison to me, and I have long been intoxicated."
He smiled dotingly and tilted his head to drink that glass of wine finally.
...
In the garden, Anthony's two men were standing in the doorway, like two statues.
Eleven took the initiative to talk to them.
"Bros, it's so late. You two haven't eaten yet, right? We made some barbecue in the backyard. Do you want to come over and try it together?"
The two men’s faces were cold and icy as they balked.
"No need."
Eleven was very patient, "Don’t fear. The lady has always been very affable. With her, Master Callahan will not be angry. It’s dinner time. With the relationship between Master Callahan and the lady, we will be a family sooner or later in the future. This is an early familiarization."
This time, the two hesitated for two seconds, "No need."
Eleven was worried that he didn't know how to continue to persuade them for fear of being perceived as too attentive.
He saw Twelve running over with two skewers of grilled pork and handed them to him.
"Eleven, tonight the kebab is particularly fragrant. You can try it first. The lady just said, tonight she and Master Callahan will get drunk. She let us have a nice dinner as well. We open two bottles of beer for you over there. Come on."
"Okay."
Eleven took the skewer and ate one in front of the two, and ate it with gusto.
Not many people can resist the charm of grilled pork. It was just too fragrant!
The aroma wafted down the wind to the noses of the two men, who stared at the meat in his hand, swallowed and faltered a little.
Eleven continued enthusiastically, "Bros, let's go. Tonight Master Callahan is expected to leave very late. I don’t know how long you two stand here hungry. All kinds of wine are available. Take a sip. Master Callahan will not be difficult for you."
The two looked at each other and eventually failed to resist the temptation of the barbecue and were led to the backyard by the skewers in Eleven's hands.
...
The meal lasted until after 10:00 pm.
Anthony and Lyra were chatting happily. His handsome face was red because of being drunk. And the previous deep blue eyes become a little lost.
"Lyra, I'm really happy that you've come around. There's no other man in this world who's good enough for you except me. We're a right match."
Lyra just smiled and didn't say anything.
Anthony looked at her affectionately, "When your mother died, I was not mature enough to protect you and comfort you when you were most helpless, but went to Security Agency to chase fame and fortune. I blamed myself for this matter for many years. Can you really forgive me?"
The smile on Lyra's face faded a little at the mention of the old story.
"Anthony you're so drunk, and you're starting to talk nonsense. It's late tonight. You should go back."
Anthony tried to continue to explain when Lyra called for Nineteen to help him get into the car.
Because both of his men had some wine in the backyard and couldn't drive, Nineteen, who had just eaten only barbecue because of his injuries, was the only one of the bodyguards who hadn't been drinking.
So he drove Anthony and his men back.
When the military service vehicle completely disappeared from Seaside Villa, Eleven quietly entered the villa.
Lyra was still sitting in the dining room. Her eyes were staring forward, which looked very cold. No one was knowing what she was thinking about.
