William was surprised to notice Matilda’s change as well. She used to be a stuck-up lady who didn’t have much to talk about, even with someone her age, but now, she is making jokes with Logan. It feels like she has become a different person. Meanwhile, Richard didn’t chime in since he wasn’t close with them, but even so, he tried to fit in and laughed with everyone when they joked.
As soon as the wine was served, Logan happily filled in the glass of every gentleman present. I know they’re all driving home later, but how can they not drink on this special occasion? After that, William took off his vest and said in a relaxed tone, “I’ll get someone to take care of my car. Man! If this is not the best occasion to get drunk, then when should it be?”
Logan replied, “Of course! Come, help yourself! If you’re too drunk to move, you could always bunk down in my room.”
That’s thoughtful of him! Matilda turned around and gazed at Richard. “This is a wonderful occasion, so you should drink some as well. When we’re done, just get someone to pick you up.”
Richard responded with an affirmative hum. “Oh, don’t worry about me. I could take a cab back anyway, plus my home isn’t too far away either.”
