As soon as she finished speaking, she looked up and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp. The bride makeup on her face made her face look even more exquisite.
But the man beside her had been indifferent, and his eyes were empty. There was no trace of light in his brown pupils.
It was like a doll whose soul had been taken away, with a pair of dull eyes.
As if she had been oblivious of him, Adriana kept toasting to the guests. It made people feel sad. Even the bridesmaid could only watch her fight alone.
Her eyes gleamed with hope, like her last hope, which was directly shattered by the bridegroom's indifference.
She turned around to toast. When she saw Consuela stand up with a glass of drink, the anger on her face instantly appeared, as if she had been buried alive.
Raising the glass, Consuela smiled awkwardly and said, "For some special reasons, today I have to replace wine with this drink. Congratulations!"
What made her even more embarrassed was that Adriana didn't appreciate it at all. On the contrary, she was kind of making trouble for her. "You're also a straightforward person, Consuela. Today might be the only big day in my life. Are you ready to go through it like this?"
She stared at the orange juice in Consuela's hand with a contemptuous smile.
She just wanted to find faults with Consuela.
Raising the glass, Consuela was stunned and didn't know how to reply to her. A lot of people were watching them. The cameramen had taken many photos of them to capture this moment.
The woman had no choice but to smile, "I'll drink with you next time."
She was thinking about making a fuss about this matter when the man standing next to her coughed and stopped her. He looked at Consuela, half smiling.
Then he stepped towards the people next to her and began to toast, completely ignoring them for a moment.
Consuela put down her raising hand and raised her head to look at the man, who was wearing a bridegroom's suit. She wanted to thank him, but he ignored her again.
It was not until the two left that Selina began to tell Consuela, "Damn it. Even blind people could say your special situation. She must be doing it on purpose. I really want to teach her a lesson."
While she was speaking, she put her hand on Consuela's pregnant belly.
Consuela didn't know what to say. She didn't stop her stroking. After all, she didn't mean to offend her.
Sitting on the other side of the woman, Stacy looked at the two persons who were toasting to the others and started to smack her lips. "It seems that the rumor we heard before is not true. If she really has a child, how dare she drink like this?"
Not to mention whether she dared or not, her parents had to teach her a lesson.
All of a sudden, these people were awakened by the words. They began to discuss in a low voice, so that everyone at the table could hear them, but the outsiders couldn't figure out what they were talking about.
Stacy, however, wiped the bowl with a napkin, and began to eat slowly.
Only when someone asked what she wanted, she inserted a few words, and the silence was so unusual.
Looking at the girl in front of her, Consuela asked in a whisper, "Monitor, do you like Terence?"
Her question was so directly and without any subtlety that made the person who was chewing raw and tender seafood almost slap her with her back hand.
After calming herself down, Stacy stared at her and replied, "I guess at the beginning, everyone in our class, except you, had a crush on him."
Consuela nodded, seeming to acquiesce in this matter.
