Keegan took the glass and sampled the wine before downing the rest. He casually picked up a tissue and wiped his lips. Felicity observed as the tissue slowly soaked wet before Keegan disposed of it.
“Not bad,” Keegan commented.
Jaylene finished her drink with a bright smile on her face,” The groom really loves wine. He personally chose the drinks for this banquet. Each table has a different selection of wine, but they all taste exceptional.”
She gestured for a waiter and ordered another drink,” Keegan, do you want to try this one? It’s a fruit wine but packs more punch in terms of alcohol content. It also has a richer aroma.”
Keegan accepted it. He sniffed and said softly, “It’s very fragrant. I can smell the fruit.”
Jaylene smiled, “It’s my favorite.”
After a brief pause, Keegan raised the glass and finished it in one go. He sipped some water and remarked, “The taste is a bit bitter. It’s not as impressive as the previous two.”
Jaylene chuckled. “That’s because you downed it too quickly. Fruit wine should be slowly savored,” she said and demonstrated to Keegan.
Uninterested in Jaylene’s theatrics, Felicity stood on her tiptoes and glanced at Keegan’s glass.
As expected, it was half full just a moment ago, but the wine somehow increased despite him taking a sip earlier.
‘Did he spit the wine back into the glass?’ thought Felicity. She was sure Stella must have taught Keegan how to avoid alcohol.
