Serenity and Zachary York novel Chapter 2587

Quinn said to Will, “If you dare to drink, Mom will sell all the fine wine we have at home.”

Quinn enjoyed drinking as well, but her tolerance was rather low. Her mother did not allow her to drink, emphasizing that she was a girl and that her poor alcohol tolerance could lead to accidents.

Will chuckled and whispered, “That’s why we need to keep Julian at home. He’s a guest and he brings us suppers. In return, we can share a drink or two without getting too drunk. This way, it won’t affect our work the next day, and Mom won’t complain.”

It was an ordeal for an alcohol enthusiast to resist drinking.

Will thought of the last incident with Julian. When Julian came over, everyone in the house drank with him except Quinn.

They had to use Julian as an excuse to satisfy their craving for alcohol. After all, the Crawford men could not overrule the lady of the house, their mother Zoey.

Julian laughed and said, “During my stay here, if you feel like having supper, just let me know and I’ll bring it back for you. As for alcohol, you can have a drink or two but don’t overdo it. Your mother was right about not allowing you to drink too much; it’s for your own health.”

Julian wanted to please his future brother-in-law but could not risk upsetting his future mother-in-law either

Between the two, Julian was definitely on his mother-in-law’s side.

Will said, “We won’t drink every day, only have a bit when we crave it. Mom’s here, let’s change the topic.”

Hearing the familiar sounds of Zoey’s footsteps, Will reminded Quinn and Julian not to continue discussing alcohol. They would not want to risk her overhearing and giving them an earful.

Julian fetched his luggage, went in with the Crawford siblings, and met Zoey. Julian politely greeted her, “Mrs. Crawford, I’m here to disturb you again.”

Zoey warmly welcomed him inside, saying, “It’s no bother at all! Quick, come in and wash your hands so we can eat. Quinn mentioned you wanted to taste my cooking, so I’ve got them all ready.”
