Daniel was stunned by Waylon and Doris. They treat each other like family. The way they talk and react couldn’t lie. I feel like an outsider. He said, “I would like to have red wine. Thank you.”
“Sure, we can try the ones I bought,” said Waylon.
Doris took the wine out; it was two bottles of Domaine de La Romance Conti. She said surprisingly. “Mr. Adelmar, are you sure about it?” It costs at least half a million dollars as soon as I open them!
Waylon said calmly, “Our distinguished guest is Mr. Daniel. How could we serve him low-class wine? Go ahead and open both of them.”
Doris had no choice but to obey what he said; she took off the tags on the bottles and opened them. She poured the wine into a decanter.
Daniel sat uneasily on the chair; he felt uncomfortable. They treated me politely, but I felt something was off. Maybe I was imagining things.
After a few minutes, Waylon picked up the decanter and said, “You are older than me; I should serve you.” He poured the wine for Daniel.
Daniel was flattered; he held the glass with both hands. He said, “Thanks, Mr. Adelmar. Although I am a son at the official, I knew I was nothing in front of Waylon! He is a nobleman by nature.
Waylon served himself and asked Doris, “How about you? Do you want some?”
Doris quickly shook her hands and said, “Thanks for offering, but I can’t get close to the kids if I smell like alcohol.”
Sure, you will have some juice then.” Waylon poured her a glass of apple juice.
The three toasted. Daniel said, “Congratulations to Doris for finding a new house! I wish for your happiness!”
Thank you, Mr. Daniel.”
Waylon said, “I shall wish you again. I wish for the safety of you and the kids. I hope you guys are healthy and wealthy
Doris was touched; she raised her glass with Waylon. She said, “Thanks. I have been troubling you.”
