Leonard finally understood. No wonder she has agreed to sing and drink with me. It was all for that child. him.
Although Pearl was an adorable kid, it was still none of his business.
He could not risk his future just for someone who was a total stranger to Leonard looked over at Matthew, who was not sitting too far away. He remembered the latter wanted to get Elizabeth drunk.
Therefore, Leonard lifted an eyebrow and looked at the woman next to him.
“Finish this bottle and I’ll think about it,” he uttered as he pushed over a bottle of strong liquor to her.
He observed her and wondered if she had the guts to do it.
Elizabeth looked at the bottle of liquor. Although she was not new to alcohol, the most she had drunk was three cups of white wine. She was also able to drink a pint of beer without getting tipsy. However, Elizabeth had never touched hard liquor before. Could I actually do it?
After thinking about it, she suddenly smacked her hand on the table.
“All right, I’ll drink it. Don’t forget your promise, Mr. Johnson.”
It’s just getting drunk, anyway. Pearl’s worth doing it. Moreover, I’m familiar with the people around me. Even Matthew’s here.
Elizabeth shook the thoughts out of her head and grabbed the bottle before downing it.
Matthew, who was observing her, uncrossed his initially crossed legs, while Nicolas looked at her in shock.
“Damn, Lizzy is incredible! Drinking from the bottle just like that?” Nicolas whistled in admiration.
However, Matthew got up and hurriedly went to Elizabeth, snatching the bottle away.
“Who allowed you to drink, Elizabeth?” he questioned.
Having the bottle taken out of her hands, she glared at Matthew. The bottle’s only half empty. Pearl’s life is depending on Leonard! Bearing that thought in mind, she stood up and snatched it back. “Leave me alone, Matthew.”
She then looked over at Leonard. “I’ll finish this, Mr. Johnson,” she promised.
Elizabeth took a few steps back to distance herself from Matthew. Then she continued to drink the liquor.
Matthew’s expression hardened as he a look at Leonard, who was sitting at the side. In response, Leonard raised his arms in mock surrender and mouthed, “Isn’t this what you wanted?”
Matthew did want Elizabeth to get drunk, but he did not want her to drink so much. She would definitely feel terrible the next day.
A while later, Nicolas walked over to Elizabeth and took a look at the now-empty bottle.
