When William and Emelie toasted the table of old friends, everyone stood up.
Elias curiously asked, "Will, what are you drinking? Is that sparkling water?"
He wasn't even talking about William's inability to handle alcohol. With 99 tables of guests, if the newlyweds drank real alcohol, they'd be out cold long before the end.
However, this wedding needed them to stay on their feet. So, their drink was substituted with something else, which everyone tacitly agreed to.
William glanced at his glass and smiled. "Sparkling water."
Emelie raised an eyebrow. "Mine's alcohol."
Her drinking tolerance was like Schrödinger's cat. Half a bottle of whiskey could knock her out if she wanted to be drunk, but when she didn't, she could drink forever.
Everyone was impressed.
Elias said, "That's why you should just listen to Ms. Pierce from now on, Will. Join us in the Cult of Brainless Wife Worship"
William pondered about it. "Is it just you and me in this cult?"
Elias slung an arm around his shoulders. "There's Jayden too."
Jayden declined with a laugh. "I'm not joining."
Elias looked at him in disbelief. "You're refusing?"
He quickly tried to stir the pot. "Did you hear that, Ms. Smith?"
Yelena Smith, Jayden's wife, was a graceful, beautiful, and intelligent woman. She was also the heir to a century-old pottery family business.
She smiled at her husband. Everyone who knew her understood that the prettier her smile, the more dangerous her thoughts.
Jayden quickly cleared his throat, wrapping his arm around his wife and saying softly, "The name of this cult sounds like it's for people with low IQs and mental issues. Darling, you wouldn't want your husband to become like that, would you?"
If Ashley wasn't around, Jayden would've just said, "You wouldn't want me to end up like Elias, right?"
Yelena kept smiling.
Jayden was known as the most emotionally intelligent and socially savvy of their Capebatt City clique. He was always navigating situations with ease.
However, in front of his wife, all his tricks failed. He was awkward and flustered.
He definitely didn't want to sleep on the couch tonight, nor did he want to lose the privilege of caring for their daughter once they returned home.
