Night comes.
Restaurant private room.
Brooklyn pours drinks for Louis and Violet.
"She can't drink."
Louis said in a light voice.
Brooklyn gave Violet a slight glance.
Violet curved her lips and was about to explain when Louis had already poured plain water for her.
"She's pregnant."
Hearing this, it dawned on Brooklyn.
"So that's it. Congratulations to both of you on becoming parents again."
"Thanks."
Violet smiled, looked at the glass of plain water, and said helplessly, "Can't I have some juice?"
Drinking plain water, how tasteless in the mouth.
"The juice is too cold, it's cold now, so it's better not to drink it."
Louis speaks softly, but his tone has a hint of incontestability.
Violet took a somewhat depressing sip of the bland plain water.
She felt like she didn't marry a husband, but an extra dad who was in charge of her!
She has no human rights to eat, drink, shit and be controlled.
"I'm not drinking today either, so I'll drink tea with you."
Louis saw Violet's depressed look and hooked his lips at the corners of his mouth.
Violet gave him a look, and the depression in her heart dissipated.
"Mr. Johnson, Helena, then I'll drink to you and your wife with tea instead of wine."
Brooklyn ate exchanged the wine for tea and spoke with a smile.
Louis picked up his cup of tea, Violet also picked up her cup of tea, and the three of them clinked.
"Mr. Johnson, thanks to your connection, now my father has the intention to train me as the heir of the Scott Group."
Brooklyn put down his teacup with a twinkle in his eye.
