Watching Charlie's expression, Grace scoffed, "I'll gouge your eyes out if you don’t stop looking at me that way!"
Right after, Mark stepped in, followed by Summer who walked behind him.
"The stars of the day have finally arrived! We truly shouldn't judge a book by its cover. Who could have ever thought innocent-looking Summer was so wild behind our backs!" Referring to the night of the incident before, Grace mocked Summer as she faced her.
Since she did not dare to mock Mr. Valentine, she could only tease and make fun of Summer.
"You better zip it, Grace! You’ve said enough!” scolded Summer lightly as she felt embarrassed.
"I don't get what you meant by that. All I know is I wasn’t invited to a wedding I was supposed to attend, s o you have to compensate me somehow. As your punishment for not letting us know about the marriage, how about you kiss Mr. Valentine in front of us for 2 minutes? Starting now!"
Summer felt her head throb and told her off, "Stop fooling around!"
"Stop fooling around? Do you think that's possible for me?" Grace bickered playfully. Raising her brows, she continued, "Don’t you think that it's incredibly hurtful for me as your closest friend to be the last to know about you getting married?"
Agreeing to what Grace said in her head, Summer could not form her response.
Sherman also butted in, "I think so too, so I agree with the punishment!"
Signaling Billy, she bumped her shoulder to his. As someone submissive to his wife, Billy nodded immediately, "I agree as well."
Charlie raised both of his hands as he said, "Same here."
"Great! And that's four versus two. We win!" said Grace as she snapped her fingers with a smile on her lips. Turning towards Mark, she said, "Mr. Valentine, this punishment isn't too much, right?"
"It's not at all," Mark replied as he gave a small smile.
"Just as I thought, Mr. Valentine is an understanding person. However, I won’t let you two get off the hook b y just French kissing. That’s too boring. How about we have Mr. Valentine feed Summer some of this wine here while kissing?"
