Chapter 855 Don’t Wanna Like Him No More
It was still awkward at this point. After giving it some thought, Alexander raised his glass and stood up. “I will take the chance to announce something to you, my friends. From now on, I will officially pursue Miss White. I hope we have everyone’s blessings.”
“Haha…” Feeling her heart sink, Narissa lowered her head and let out a bitter laugh when she heard Alexander’s announcement. See, even Alexander has forgotten about Elise, and yet Jamie still wants to protect her. If this isn’t love, I doubt true love even exists.
The order of appearances was really important. Narissa was doomed to not stand a chance since she only got to know Jamie after Elise did.
However, she had no hard feelings about losing to Elise. Loudly hitting the table and standing up, her natural resting-b*tch-face was emotionless as she stared at Alexander.
Just as everyone thought that she was about to kick up a fuss again, she surprisingly raised her glass, and a smile bloomed on her face. She then turned to look at Elise. “To be honest, I would have flipped the table over if it was some other woman that Alexander fell for, but I am willingly accepting this because it is you. I trust El would agree to it as well if she knew. I shall offer a toast to wish you both happiness.”
Narissa raised her head and shot down the whole glass of wine before she refilled her glass herself again. Her glass was pointed at Alexander this time. “Don’t think that I have forgiven you just because I am not objecting. I will come for your neck if you dare treat other women like you do Anastasia. Do you hear me?!”
“Don’t worry.” He raised his glass at her as well. “I will try my best to have her marry me.”
“Good. I wish you success. Now drink up!” Narissa unhesitantly threw the contents in her glass down her throat again. Alexander downed his drink as well. He had just sat down when Narissa had another glass with Danny.
“It is thanks to you that I got to the bottom of my dilemma, Danny. Let’s do three toasts. You have to drink, okay?! You will make me feel bad if you don’t!”
Danny, too, didn’t reject the alcohol since it had been some time since their circle had gathered, and his heart was bitter because of his one-sided love for Ariel.
The two of them went all out as they had toast after toast, and they were woozy after a few rounds.
No one knew that the corners of Narissa’s eyes were wet the whole time, whereas every glass of alcohol Danny had tasted more bitter than ever.
Jamie, who couldn’t care seeing Narissa treat herself so terribly, stomped out in a fit of anger. After getting into his car, he stepped on the gas, and had no regard for anything else as he zoomed to Bar Street.
Narissa wasn’t the only one who knew how to drink. And if she could do it, he could do it as well. He could do it even better than her. Now only that would make it fair.
…
Having a high alcohol tolerance could be problematic sometimes. Their dinner had begun before the sky had gone completely dark, and by the time Narissa was drunk, it was already 11.00PM.
With Alexander’s help, they finally carried the blacked-out Narissa home with all the strength they could muster. The intoxicated woman was still fidgety as she lay in bed mumbling this and that.
