Chapter 600 Farewell Toast


    Chapter 600 Farewell Toast


    Colin slightly raised his brows when he heard Abbot’s words.


    Not getting a response from Colin, Abbot continued through gritted teeth, “A man should be honest and


    kind. You can’t seek happiness from other people’s pain.”


    Colin asked in a deep voice, “Are you talking about Ethan?”


    Abbot said, “I was referring to…”


    Before he could finish his words, Colin looked up at Ethan and said in a righteous voice, “Ethan, Abbot


    was referring to...”


    Colin was interrupted because Abbot reached out and pinched his thigh fiercely. Abbot said, “Let me


    tell you a joke.”


    Everyone at the table simultaneously looked toward Abbot when they heard his words.


    Having no choice, Abbot deliberated on the wording for a while, coughed, and then said, “A poor guy


    changed his phone number. He nned to joke with his girlfriend and sent her a message: Love is


    destined. Do you want to know about your fate with him? Then send you and his real names, such as


    Tom and Susan. The consulting fee is 5 cents per time. Several minutester, this poor guy received


    his girlfriend’s and his best friend’s names…”


    The private room was enveloped by dead silence when Abbot finished the words.


    Faye tried hard to suppress herughter.


    Violet looked awkward.


    While Colin and Ethan looked interested.


    Colin chuckled and then said meaningfully, “This story is very connotative.”


    Ethan asked, “Is that poor guy surnamed Waylon?”


    Colin teased, “Luckily, his surname is not Farrell or Bond.”


    The two chimed in with each other, which amused Faye and Violet. To suppress theirughter, they


    lowered their heads and took a sip of water.


    No matter how awkward the process was, at least the result was good.


    The tension in the private room was alleviated because of Abbot’sme joke.


    After a while, all the dishes they ordered were all served on the table. Abbot pulled his chair toward


    Colin and said in a low voice, “It was just a joke.”


    Colin nodded and said seriously, “I understand.”


    Abbot continued, “It doesn’t have any connotation.”


    Colin nodded with a serious expression and said, “I understand. It has nothing to do with you and


    Matthew.”


    Abbot was rendered speechless.


    Being choked by Colin’s words, he gritted his teeth and picked up his cutleries, preparing to enjoy the


    dishes. But he waspletely dumbfounded when he saw the colors of the dishes.


    They were all green. Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.

    Even though not all dishes were green, they were decorated with some green ingredients.


    Abbot felt speechless. He turned around, looked at the waiter standing at the door of the private room,


    and asked, “Did you change the chef?”


    The waiter replied politely with a smile, “Mr. Carter, we didn’t.”


    Abbot continued, “When did you begin to decorate Boston lobster with green leaves?”


    The waiter replied, “Mr. Waylon says it’s spring and proposes to add the green color to every dish


    because it’s a symbol of vigor.”


    Abbot asked, “Is it the same for every guest?”


    The waiter replied honestly, “Nope. Only this room.”


    Abbot was lost for words.


    He clenched the cutleries silently. Colin, who sat beside him, kicked his calf under the table and said,


    “Eat. Life must have a green color.”


    Abbot took a deep breath when he heard these ridiculous words. He asked Colin, “Is there a green


    color in your life?”


    Colin replied without any expressional change, “I don’t need it. Moreover, I''m allergic to the green


    color.”


    When Abbot was about to retort to Colin, Violet, who sat opposite him, suddenly raised her goblet and


    stood up. With a smile, she said gently, “Thank you for your hospitality today.”


    Violet gulped down the wine in her goblet after finishing the words.


    She was very unrestrained when drinking the wine, which was quite different from the image she


    showed to them at usual times.


    Violet then put down the goblet. Before other people could pick up their goblets, she took the wine


    bottle and poured another ss for herself. Then she raised the goblet and said, “It’s a great pleasure


    to get to know you guys. Thank you for taking care of me when I’m in Cocanel.”


    When Violet first toasted them, everyone thought she did that out of politeness.


    However, when Violet toasted again, they all felt it abnormal.


    Especially Ethan, his face immediately turned gloomy.


    After drinking the second ss of wine, Violet picked up the bottle again, preparing to pour the third


    ss of wine for herself.


    Much to her surprise, Ethan stopped her by putting his palm on the back of her hand with a cold


    expression when she raised her hand.


    Violet’s fingers trembled slightly. She tilted her head to look at Ethan.


    Ethan raised his eyes to take a nce at her, stood up, grasped her wrist, and pulled her toward the


    door.


    Violet immediately brushed. She called, “Ethan.”


    Ethan said in a cold voice, “We need a talk.”
