French red wine, liquor, champagne...As long as there were people who toasted to Harry, he accepted them all and poured the wine into his mouth.
Harry toasted to all the guests on the first floor. Then he went to the second floor. Lola looked at Harry's face with concern. His usually expressionless face has now grown red.
"Don't drink too much wine! You'll get too drunk, Harry." Lola whispered to him with caution.
Harry firmly held her hands and reassured her. "I'm fine. Do you feel tired now? We could take some rest."
She shook her head. She was not tired. Instead, she felt very energized and very enthusiastic.
They held each other's arms and went upstairs. There were three long tables on the second floor. All the guests were Harry's friends and brothers.
"Wow! The bride and the groom are here!" Ben shrieked, attracting all the guests' attention towards Harry and Lola.
"Harry! You are awesome. Your grand wedding ceremony is on live broadcast all over the world. All the girls in the world are enthralled by your charm. Nobody will notice us, poor boys, now. Your poor brothers would have no chance to find a wife!" Eason joked. His face has turned red already. He probably drank too much wine.
Beside Eason, there was a woman whom Lola felt very familiar with. But she failed to remember who she was..
Harry exchanged good-nature banters with his brothers. The woman beside Eason walked towards Lola.
"Hi, Lola! Do you still remember me?" Ella clinked her glass to Lola while shyly approaching her.
Lola thought for a while. She still couldn't remember who she was. Ella looked at her bewildered face and gently smiled.
"I have been to brother Harry's office in D City before. We have met that day." Ella whispered to Lola's ears.
Lola suddenly realized that she was the woman she had met several years ago. When she went to Harry's office to send his clothes to him, she saw that the woman was sitting on Harry's legs.
Ella stared at Lola, who she has always admired and adored. Ella felt ecstatic that Lola now became the wife of her dear brother Harry.
Harry was such an indifferent man. But now... Wow! It was unimaginable to Ella that his heart would be totally captured by a woman.
"Oh! You are..." Lola did not know her true identity. But it seemed that she was not interested in Harry now.
Ella pointed at Eason, who was now forcing Harry to drink and said, "That's my brother. We grew up together. Last time, what you saw was not the real case. I was forced to do that. There was actually nothing going on between me and Harry. I hope you won't misunderstand that". Ella smiled in embarrassment. She was lucky that Harry didn't blame her last time. He had actually helped her.
Hearing this, Lola smiled gently and said, "At that time, I was worrying that you were a woman who he was having an affair with. We had already married before you appeared."
Ella also smiled. She said to Lola, "I will drink this up to make amends with you, then!" After Ella finished her words, she gulped down the wine.
This woman was bold and forthright. She might be a good girl. Lola looked at her and thought that to herself. "You can come over to my place when you have free time."
Ella shook her head while swallowing the last mouthful of wine. She said, "Sorry, I won't go. I will tremble at the sight of Harry. I will ask you out to go shopping and buy some gifts for your babies."
But the Harry she saw today was very friendly. It must be because of his love for Lola.
While Lola was talking to Ella merrily, Chuck was looking at them in mere silence. He was gazing thoroughly at Lola. It's undeniable that Lola was so beautiful tonight. Her beauty was really breathtaking!
Harry drank a lot at this table. Before he left them, Ben was still calling out, "Big brother. Join us to continue drinking tonight."
They would toast next to the top managers of the company. All the managers stood up when they saw the couple was coming over. Lola sensed that someone was gazing at her. It was Julie, who was looking at her with a faint smile.
Lola smiled back. She went to the private room of the second floor after finishing the toast.
