Chapter 436
Melody also drank half a glass of wine. Her fair face
instantly blushed like a red apple.
When Adina saw the kids drinking wine, she found it inappropriate if she did not drink any.
She raised her wine glass. When she was about to drink, Alden reached out to stop her. “Mom, I’ll drink for you.”
Duke frowned . “You’re just a kid. How could you drink wine? Let me do it.”
He grabbed the wine glass.
Mr. Brown quietly nudged Duke’s shoulder. “Master, Ms. Daugherty wants to toast to you. How can you drink on her behalf?”
Duke seemed to have suddenly realized what was going on.
“Young Master Alden, you’d better not drink red wine. This wine is very strong, so children can’t handle it.” Mr. Brown took the wine glass from Duke before he passed it to Adina again. “Ms. Daugherty, you can just take a sip as a formality.”
Adina toasted to Duke before she took a sip of the wine.
This wine was full of flavor. The taste lingered on the lips
and tongue. She could not help but take another sip.
Duke cast a glance at her before he drank all the red wine in his glass at once.
The meal was over just as the sky turned dark.
Adina wanted to leave.
But Mr. Brown walked over, smiled, and said, “Miss Daugherty, you drank alcohol, so you can’t drive. Why don’t you stay here tonight?” Adina found herself speechless.
She finally understood why Mr. Brown had kept persuading her to drink wine during dinner just now. So, this was what he was intending to do.
She massaged her forehead. “I’ll call a chauffeur.”
Mr. Brown fell speechless.
How could he forget that there was a chauffeur service?
