Chapter 813 I Will Drink On Her Behalf âLetâs give Arissa a toast and see how much Benjamin can drink on her behalf,â Kingsley urged everyone.
When Benjamin shot them a look, they let out a loud guffaw.
âArissa, no matter what, you have to at least drink one glass with us. Despite knowing you for such a long time, weâve never managed to have one with you.â
Kingsley got to his feet and poured Arissa a glass.
She smiled. âI canât drink much.â
âJust a sip is good enough,â Shaun replied with a grin.
Jonathan, too, approached with his glass raised for a toast. âArissa, letâs drink!â
âOkay!â
Arissa had barely lifted her wine glass when a hand reached out to take it from her.
It was then that Benjamin switched it with a glass of orange juice. âYouâre not allowed to drink, as you still need to take your medication later.â
Benjamin proceeded to warn everyone, âSheâs taking medication to supplement her health, so she canât have any alcohol.â
Kingsley and Jonathan gave both of them a look before turning their attention to Shaun.
The latter responded with a smile, âArissa is indeed on medication right now. Letâs just drink among ourselves.â
âThat wonât do. Since Arissa canât drink, Benjamin should do so on her behalf.â
To everyoneâs amusement, Kingsley flashed a cheeky smile at Benjamin.
âFine, Iâll do it.â
Raising the wineglass toward Jonathan, Benjamin downed it in one gulp.
âAre both of you drinking?â
Benjaminâs piercing gaze swept across Kingsley and Shaun.
âYes, of course we are. Since you have drunk with Jonathan, youâre not going to pass us over, are you?â
Kingsley let out a snort before refilling Benjaminâs wineglass and drinking with him.
âI want to drink three glasses with Arissa!â
While Benjamin glared at Kingsley, the amused Shaun and Jonathan admired the latter for his courage.
âHurry up!â
Kingsley leaned forward and clinked glasses with Benjamin, who harrumphed before downing the drink.
âShaun!â
Benjamin then drank one more with Shaun right away.
âBenjamin, thatâs not the way!â Kingsley teased with a mischievous tone.
Benjaminâwith a darkening gazeâwarned him in a deep voice, âKingsley, are you trying to get on my nerves?â
Kingsley chuckled in response, his eyes curving into crescents. âItâs rare to be able to gather like this.â
After giving them a look, Arissa said to Kingsley, âHe has a weak stomach, so itâs not a good idea for him to drink too much.â
Besides, this is someone elseâs wedding. It would be rude to drink too much till theyâre inebriated.
âLook at how much Arissa cares about you!â Kingsley beamed till his eyes couldnât be seen. âWeâll take Arissaâs advice and not go down this path with you.â
Benjaminâs lips curled as he gave Arissa a look.
Leaning closer to her, he whispered, âTheyâre no match for me when it comes to drinking.â
Arissa giggled as she whispered back, âEven then, you shouldnât drink too much.â
At that moment, Rosetta arrived with a glass of wine. âThank you for coming to my brotherâs wedding!â
âYouâre welcome, Ms. Adams.â
The More the Merrier Kingsley laughed boisterously as he clinked glasses with her.
When Rosetta walked over to clink glasses with Shaun, Kingsley stopped her.
âHey, thatâs not right. No matter what, youâre still the host today. Since your brother isnât free to drink with us, you should represent him by having a drink with every single one of us.â
Placed in a difficult position, Rosetta looked instinctively toward Benjamin.
However, Benjaminâs attention fell upon Kingsley instead. âYou can make an exception for Issa and me.â
His words caused Rosettaâs face to lose all color.
Does he not want to even drink with me?
âBenjamin....â
Benjamin turned toward her, his eyes emotionless. âMs. Adams, it would be more appropriate for you to address me as Mr. Graham.â
An awkward expression flashed across Rosettaâs face. âBenjamin, why are you being so distant? Are you trying to spite me on purpose?â
A frosty look descended upon Benjaminâs face. âWe donât know each other that well, so please mind your words, Ms. Adams. Otherwise, people might get the wrong idea.â
âYou!â
Outraged by his words, Rosetta shot Arissa a glare. Is he worried that sheâll misunderstand?
âBenjamin, itâs not like youâre my only choice!â
Benjaminâs lips curled into a mocking smile.
âStop right there!â
Rosetta stopped abruptly just as she was leaving.
