Chapter 33
Stella and the other women covered their mouths as they laughed, feeling extremely envious of Adaline. However, it was apparent that Stella organized today’s event so she could introduce Harry to Adaline.
Because Harry had taken an interest in Adaline, Kevan and Stella decided to set them up.
Next, the group introduced themselves while exchanging pleasantries with Harry.
It did not take long before the dishes were served. Everyone began tucking in. They began drinking and toasting each other across the table. Some were continuously toasting Harry in an attempt to curry favor with him.
After the group had been drinking for a while, Harry held up his glass to Adaline and said, “Ada, we’re destined to meet each other. I fell for you deeply at first glance. Come. Here’s a toast from me to you.” “Whoa, you’re so graceful, Harry. Ada, you’ve struck gold this time!” said a woman in envy.
“Ada is good–looking, and Harry is even more so. You guys will make a great–looking couple!” Stella chuckled and said, “Yes, a toast to Ada for finally finding her prince charming today.” “You’re right. They should be together!”
Together!”
Several people began to egg them on by shouting.
Harry looked at Adaline who was seated opposite him with a smile. He had never failed at wooing someone. On top of that, he had Kevan who set them up today. He believed that he would be able to bed Adaline today itself.
He was already growing impatient.
Adaline, on the other hand, grew even more embarrassed as she looked at Harry seated across from her and listened to the cheers around her. She declined his toast and said, “Harry, I’m really sorry, but I don’t drink.”
Everyone at the scene was stunned upon hearing that. Adaline had actually rejected Harry?
Harry’s expression changed drastically as well. He was infuriated. He had never encountered a woman who dared to reject him. He had plenty of experience fooling around with women.
“Have you lost your mind, Ada? This is Harry Lynch we’re talking about. Why won’t you have a drink with him?” Stella asked hastily as she glared at Adaline.
Kevan narrowed his eyes too. “Ada, Harry has taken it upon himself to offer you a toast. It’ll be
disrespectful to Harry if you don’t accept it.”
The group echoed, “Yes, yes. You must drink with Harry, Ada.”
Yet, Adaline refused to consume any alcohol. Upon hearing the crowd’s response, she said anxiously, “I’m sorry, but I really don’t drink. If I drink I’ll-”
“Who doesn’t drink, huh?” someone began to ask sarcastically.
In their opinion, anyone could drink and those who said they could not were only pretending.
It was apparent that Harry was angry. He said, “Are you disrespecting me, Ada? Have a drink if you aren’t.”
Harry beckoned Adaline. With his tone and expression, he was telling her that he was furious.NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
Adaline was panic–stricken. She did not dare to offend Harry. She could only pick up her glass and stand up after hearing his remark. “Fine. I’ll have a drink since you asked me to, Harry.”
Harry smiled.
Adaline lifted the glass and briefly hesitated before she parted her dainty lips in preparation to drink. She did not know if she could remain on her feet after this because she knew she would get tipsy the moment she started drinking.
