    “Dr. Sherwood, hasn’t anyone taught you to offer a drink to others before pouring your own?”


    “Is that so?”


    Jayden retorted but received no response. He calmly picked up the bottle and poured himself a drink.


    “Well then, I’ll pour myself one first.”


    As Jayden raised his ss to drink, Preston’s fingers suddenly tapped the table.


    “Fill it up.”


    If he wanted to force him to drink in front of everyone, he would have to suffer the same fate.


    “Okay.”


    Jayden didn’t say anything and nodded. He put down his ss, picked up the bottle again, and filled up


    his ss.


    “Senior, this is a high-proof drink I brought from the nightclub. Can you handle it?”


    “I can.”


    After giving Harper a gentle smile, he raised his ss and drank it all in one gulp.


    Seeing Harper frown and look worried about Jayden, Preston was so angry that he picked up his ss


    and finished the drink in one go


    He drank too quickly and identally choked. He coughed and looked for tissues, appearing quite


    embarrassed.


    The napkins were within Harper’s reach. She hesitated for two seconds, but eventually took one out


    and handed it to Preston, who sat opposite her.


    The two exchanged eye contact, but Preston looked away from her face and towards the tissue,


    naturally reaching out to take it.


    “Thank you.”


    The polite and distant words created a distance between the two, making them seem like the most


    familiar strangers, without any


    further conversation.


    After finishing his drink and putting down his ss, Jayden nced around and asionally stole a


    look at Harper’s expression while holding her phone. His face changed slightly, but he didn’t say


    anything


    Seeing the tension between the two, Henry quickly raised his ss and suggested that everyone have


    a drink together, which eased the atmosphere quite a bit.


    With Grace, who was always a happy person around, everyone ate, drank, joked around and yed


    with the pups, and things seemed to be going well


    However, this harmonious atmospherested only briefly, and then Jayden said to Harper, “My family


    would like to meet you, Harper Do you have any free time?”


    Taya and Ste nced at each other and then looked at Harper, who kept her head down, eating


    When Jayden tried to persuade Preston to drink earlier, Taya thought it was not a good idea.


    Now, she felt it was even worse for Jayden to ask Harper to meets family in front of so many people


    Most of the people present knew that Preston was Harper’s ex-boyfriend, and although it didn’t mean


    much, she sensed that Jayden’s words had some underlying intention


    Taya wanted to the person who would apany Harper for the rest ofContent ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.
