Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 1638

Chapter 1638 Tipsy

Julian raised his glass and tapped it against Jessie’s. As soon as she finished the glass, Maggie came over to get her. She wanted to introduce Jessie to the guests. Queenie and Nigel went over to the restaurant, and a few more young women quickly crowded around Julian. Even a few older ladies came over to ask if he was married. They were keen to introduce their daughters to him!

He was somewhat exasperated, but he remained pleasant and amiable the whole time.

At the restaurant, Nigel and Queenie sat down at a table after filling their plates. As they took in the view of the night sky, Queenie exhaled in joy. “We’ve finally reunited.”

“That means we have time to consider our future now.” Nigel stared at her with his dark, affectionate eyes.

She looked back at him a little guiltily. Amid all the commotion of finding her sister, she ended up neglecting him a fair bit. She nodded and agreed, “Yeah! I’ll bring it up with my parents.”

“I’ll bring my parents to your house three days later to formally ask for your hand in marriage,” he informed her of his plan.

Queenie’s cheeks grew a little warm as she nodded shyly. “Okay.”

Meanwhile, back at the grand hall, Jessie followed her parents around as they introduced her to everyone. The guests were very warm and welcoming, and she ended up drinking a lot each time they toasted her, leaving her feeling rather tipsy.

At last, while her parents were caught up in conversation with a few other guests, she made her escape. She wanted to look for Queenie but couldn’t find her anywhere. Jessie felt a little light-headed and decided to take a seat. One of the young men, who wanted to approach her, immediately seized this chance to come over.

“Are you alright, Miss Silverstein? Allow me to take you to the lounge to rest.”

“It’s alright. I’m fine, thank you,” she declined politely.

“But, you seem drunk to me. Are you sure you’re alright?” The young man didn’t want to miss this opportunity. Since she was drunk, it was the perfect time for him to make a good impression!
