The Captain I Married by Chance novel Chapter 63

In the midst of the boisterous crowd, those two voices weren't particularly loud.

But someone fell silent, and then one by one, everyone else did too.

The crowd's gaze darted back and forth between Colin and Nathan.

Someone with less tact just blurted out the question, "Colin, Captain, how did you both know Dr. Hayes can't drink?"

The moment the words left his mouth, he was met with scornful glares from those around him.

Realizing his mistake, the man clamped his mouth shut, lowered his head, and pretended he hadn't said a thing.

"Ahem."

Into the silence, Colin was the first to speak.

"I heard Julia mention that Dr. Hayes can't drink at our last get-together."

"You should have juice instead."

As he spoke, Colin handed a newly opened bottle of juice to Nora.

Nora felt a bit awkward. She took it with a faint smile and said, "Thank you."

Colin immediately blushed.

The sharp-witted people in the room watched the exchange between Nora and Colin, and a series of teasing noises filled the air.

"So you remember something Julia said? Colin, I know you have a good memory, but do you really remember trivial things like that?"

"Don't tell me you have a little something for our Dr. Hayes?"

"Ooh, no wonder I heard you volunteered for the special task force. Trying to use your position to get close to her? You sly dog, I knew you were up to something!"

Being teased like this by everyone made Colin's face turn beet red.

"Hey, don't talk nonsense!"

"Are we drinking or not?"

"We're drinking!"

Seeing Colin change the subject, everyone shared a knowing smile.

"You can act tough now, but just wait until you're drunk. I bet you'll spill everything."

"Alright everyone, no holding back! Colin's being cagey with us. Let's all go at him. I refuse to believe he can hold out against all of us!"

The lively atmosphere returned.
