The More the Merrier novel Chapter 813

Chapter 813 I Will Drink On Her Behalf

“Let’s give Arissa a toast and see how much Benjamin can drink on her behalf,” Kingsley urged everyone.

When Benjamin shot them a look, they let out a loud guffaw.

“Arissa, no matter what, you have to at least drink one glass with us. Despite knowing you for such a long time, we’ve never managed to have one with you.”

Kingsley got to his feet and poured Arissa a glass.

She smiled. “I can’t drink much.”

“Just a sip is good enough,” Shaun replied with a grin.

Jonathan, too, approached with his glass raised for a toast. “Arissa, let’s drink!”

“Okay!”

Arissa had barely lifted her wine glass when a hand reached out to take it from her.

It was then that Benjamin switched it with a glass of orange juice. “You’re not allowed to drink, as you still need to take your medication later.”

Benjamin proceeded to warn everyone, “She’s taking medication to supplement her health, so she can’t have any alcohol.”

Kingsley and Jonathan gave both of them a look before turning their attention to Shaun.

The latter responded with a smile, “Arissa is indeed on medication right now. Let’s just drink among ourselves.”

“That won’t do. Since Arissa can’t drink, Benjamin should do so on her behalf.”

To everyone’s amusement, Kingsley flashed a cheeky smile at Benjamin.

“Fine, I’ll do it.”

Raising the wineglass toward Jonathan, Benjamin downed it in one gulp.

“Are both of you drinking?”

Benjamin’s piercing gaze swept across Kingsley and Shaun.

“Yes, of course we are. Since you have drunk with Jonathan, you’re not going to pass us over, are you?”

Kingsley let out a snort before refilling Benjamin’s wineglass and drinking with him.

“I want to drink three glasses with Arissa!”

While Benjamin glared at Kingsley, the amused Shaun and Jonathan admired the latter for his courage.

“Hurry up!”

Kingsley leaned forward and clinked glasses with Benjamin, who harrumphed before downing the drink.

“Shaun!”

Benjamin then drank one more with Shaun right away.
