Ch.1539 Chapter 1543 - When Love Comes Late

So, even though Arthur was a seasoned player, Neville held his own.

The game ended in a tie.

Pleased with the match, Arthur complimented Neville.

âYouâve got a knack for cards, huh? You must play quite a bit.

Neville responded with a humble grin, âIâm flattered, Mr.

Jones.

Youâre the toughest opponent Iâve faced.

He then gave Kassidy a significant glance, hinting at her to get the contract ready.

Catching the hint, Arthur waved him off.

âNo rush.

Youâve made the trip here; letâs not dive into business just yet.

How about I give you a tour first?â

Neville frowned.

He really wanted to wrap this up quickly, but Arthur was his client, and he felt he couldnât just say no.

He gave a reluctant nod, saying, âAlright, thanks a lot.

Arthur slung an arm around Nevilleâs shoulder.

âYouâve got a lot to discover here.

Iâm sure youâll start to enjoy it all in no time.

With that, he led Neville to a car, and they set off.

After about half an hour, they pulled up in front of a winery.

Arthur walked in, with Neville and Kassidy in tow.

âWelcome to the biggest winery in town.

Youâre in luck.

Thereâs a wine-tasting event today.

Itâs the perfect opportunity to try our finest wines.

You really shouldnât skip it.

Neville just nodded in response.

Once inside the party, Arthur grabbed two glasses of wine from a passing waiter and handed one to Neville.

After tasting the wine, Neville commented, âThis is quite good.

Arthur didnât stop there.

He continued to introduce Neville to more wines, and without really noticing, Neville ended up drinking quite a bit.

Finally, Arthur turned to Kassidy, offering her a glass of wine as well.

âMiss, would you like a drink?â

Before Kassidy could say anything, Neville grabbed the glass and smiled.

âMr.

Jones, sheâs not much of a drinker.

Let me drink to your health instead.

Arthur didnât push further.

He lifted his glass, replying, âThanks.

Throughout the party, Arthur avoided talking about the contract, focusing instead on enjoying his drinks.

Neville and Kassidy found no opportunity to bring it up.

Eventually, without having reached any agreement with Arthur, Neville ended up completely drunk.

The wine tasting came to an end, and Kassidy supported a now unconscious Neville.
