Chapter 808


    “Another, to the brim,” said Sophia nonchntly as she brought the wine ss to Arthur, who was


    instantly amused. His gaze was fathomless yet crystal-clear under the lights, looking exceptionally


    charming.


    “Are you sure you know how to drink wine?” Despite doubting, he still poured her half a ss of sweet


    wine.


    Sophia didn’t want to stand on ceremony with him anymore. He would be someone else’s husband


    after the next sunrise; she couldn’t order him around anymore after that.


    “C’mon, fill it up to the brim. Don’t be so stingy.” She propped her chin up, looking all ‘I don’t get drunk


    easily.


    At that, Arthur topped it up, and as the liquid wasing up to the top, he asked with worry, “Are you


    sure you really want to drink this way?”


    “Ye-ap!” Sophia enunciated with a nod, took the wine ss from him, then chugged the entire ss of


    wine down again. This sure is good wine.


    Meanwhile, Arthur took a graceful sip, his gazetched onto her this whole time. Her soft long hair sat


    neatly on her shoulders, surrounding her stunning, fair face.


    Arthur fell into a momentary trance, thinking, The way this girl drinks sure looks fine.


    Sophia burped after chugging the entire ss of wine only to notice she was still sober, and she


    couldn’t help asking, “What’s the abv on this wine?”


    “Eight percent.”


    The answer led her to be frustrated. She wouldn’t get drunk even if she downed the entire bottle!


    “Don’t you have anything stronger in here?” she asked. “I want whiskey.” Arthur had only brought her


    here because he wanted to spend a bit more time with her. But who’d have thought she was now


    demanding liquor?!


    “That’s too strong. It’s not the type fordies.”


    “Well, I want it. With that, she searched the racks and found one with an abe of 48% in no time.


    After taking it out, she popped the cap open, then searched for a whiskey ss but to no avail. Thus,


    she just chugged straight from the bottle.


    Startled by thedy, Arthur dashed toward her and snatched the bottle of whiskey from her. “What, are


    you crazy?!”


    Sophia was doing fine until he snatched the bottle from her, causing her to choke and reflexively lean


    against the table, coughing violently. The next second, she felt a warm,rge palm gently patting her


    back.


    Tears instantly streamed down her cheeks, and she turned around to throw herself into his arms. Her


    actions stumped Arthur for a split second before he wrapped his arms around her and looked down at


    her.


    Her tears had dampened his shirt, but she couldn’t care less. She continued embracing him, wanting to


    behave

    presumptuously onest time, for she wouldn’t be able to anymore after his marriage the following


    morning.


    Meanwhile, Arthur stood motionless like a tree with his brows locked into a deep furrow, letting the


    young in his arms cry and hug him as she pleased.


    Suddenly, Sophia looked up, wrapped her arms around his neck, and stood on tiptoes. She wanted to


    kiss him, but he towered over her. She wouldn’t be able to touch his lips if he didn’t lower his head.


    She had acted on impulse, after all. Seeing that he wouldn’t lower his head, she began crying


    aggrievedly. But just as she was about to give up, Arthur lifted his arms around the waist while lowering


    his head, bringing their faces close together. They were so close their breaths interweaved, and the


    moment their eyes locked onto each other, time stopped.


    He was giving her the chance to do what she had yearned for.


    At that, Sophia held her breath, cupped his cheeks, and pressed her slightly trembling lips to his.


    Arthur closed his eyes and tightened his arms around her waist. He realized he liked her scent, and her


    kiss awakened a feeling within him, causing him to reflexively respond to her for a moment.


    Just like that, Sophia was pinned against the wine rack, and their raw emotionsid bare…


    Perhaps the alcohol had taken effect as well, as the kiss was like a ball of enveloping fire, zing yet


    inviting.


    Finally, Arthur released her, and Sophia also realized what they had just done. With that, she held her


    forehead while her mind went nk for a few solid seconds.


    Arthur, on the other hand, had grabbed the opened bottle of whiskey and chugged it straight from the


    bottle, wanting to use the icy liquid to put out his burning desire.
