Chapter 2106
Carter's eyelid twitched, and he quickly interrupted Vermont. "Have some water. Do you want me to walk you to the washroom?"
Vermont pushed him away and rested his hand on Marshall's shoulder. "I really don't understand. What's so good about that woman? She got married to someone else right after breaking up with you. What exactly do you see in her?
"Is it because she was pregnant with your child when that accident happened, so you've been feeling guilty and can't forget about her?"
Carter had a sudden urge to stuff the dice into his mouth to shut him up
How come I didn't realize this guy talks so much when he's drunk? Does he even know what he's talking about right now?’
However, Marshall's expression remained calm. He took a sip from his glass and calmly asked, "Who is Willow?"
"Do you really not remember? Why aren't you willing to get a new girlfriend and settle down if you don't?" Vermont poked his chest as he added," When Felicity and I went shopping the other day, we bumped into your mom.
"She knew I had a girlfriend and said to me with a sorrowful face, "You've settled down too. I wonder, when is Marshall's turn." You can never imagine how downhearted I felt when I heard that."
Vermont downed another glass as his eyes turned glassy. He grabbed Marshall's arm and continued in a hoarse voice, "Indeed, there are some things we can never say to our elders.
“But none of these would've happened later if your family were more lenient.
"That child would be about seven years old now, huh? If I had stayed in Rivera back then, I'd do everything I can to save that child for you.”
Although Marshall looked very composed, Carter noticed a slight ripple in the glass he was holding, suggesting that he was not as calm as he appeared.
Then, Carter reached out and took the glass from Vermont's hand before offering him a cup of water. "Stop drinking, or you won't be able to walk later. Everyone here has been drinking, and nobody can drive you home."
"Tsk." Vermont clicked his tongue. "Are you saying that I can't hold my liquor? I don't need anyone to drive me back. Instead, you two can drink all you want tonight. I'll get you both home safely later. Also, I promise that Lena and Mrs. Moore won't nag you about it."
Carter laughed. "What about you? Is Ms. Thompson not going to scold you? N
