Floyd nodded with satisfaction. "Okay, we'll grab a drink together next time."
Kai strolled around and came over with two bottles of red wine. "Look! There's a lot of good wine in Lil N's place. Let's get drunk!”
Floyd coldly glanced at Kai. Grant also glared at him.
Kai did not know what he had misspoken about and felt aggrieved.
"You guys don’t wanna drink? Then I’ll drink it myself?"
Nicole blurted out. "You should be more familiar with the wine in that cabinet than I am. Quite a few of them were stolen from Dad's wine cabinet. Are you sure you wanna drink them?"
Floyd took a deep breath. His face turned red with anger. "Just wait till we get home!"
Kai pursed his lips and looked at Nicole in disappointment.
"What truth are you blurting now?"
Grant laughed lightly. "Do you think that we won't know if she doesn't say so? Last time when Dad wanted to drink on the spur of the moment, he searched the wine cellar for most of the night but couldn't find the vintage Chateau d’Yquem that he
collected. Did you hide it here?"
Kai saw that the situation was awry, so he turned around and ran.
Floyd was concerned that Clayton would see what a joke their family was. Otherwise, he would have kicked Kai viciously.
Clayton paused and smiled as he spoke. "I have a few bottles of good wine upstairs. I'll take them down for you all later. Unfortunately, I can't accompany you all t o drink since I'm still taking medication. Otherwise, I'll surely drink with everyone."
Floyd waved his hand and slowly exhaled.
"You don't need to accompany us to drink. We’re all family, so we'll enjoy ourselves anyhow. You don't have to be so polite. From now on, you can follow Lil N and call them your brothers."
Clayton was stunned. He immediately smiled with joy.
What Floyd implied was not simple. Floyd was acknowledging Clayton in front of everyone.
As long as the two of them did not break up, the Stanton family would not have any objection.
Grant nodded his head.
