Chester softly exhaled a mouthful of smoke.
He tried to fight his split personality.
"What is everyone staring at? Start eating." Chester lifted his exquisite chin.
"Yeah." Only then did everyone recover from their senses. "President Jewell, it's been a long time since we had a meal together. Come. Let's all toast to President Jewell."
Subsequently, everyone took turns to drink a toast to Chester.
If that had happened in the past, Chester surely would not care to drink with them.
However, alcohol appeared to be the only thing he could use to numb himself today. As a doctor, he knew full well that he could not drink alcohol after having gastrointestinal bleeding, but alcohol could prevent him from losing his sanity.
Alcohol could prevent him from thinking about Charity all the time.
On the top floor, the server in the restaurant pushed a trolley of flowers and cake toward Charity.
Monte rose to his feet and received the flowers, from where he took out a beautiful diamond necklace and opened it. "Charity, this is for you. Can I put it on for you?"
Under the light, the man's handsome face was filled with affection.
Charity sipped on the red wine and said slowly, "Sure.”
Monte joyfully walked behind her and put the necklace around her next. Then, he slid his fingers across her ear lobe. “Charity, I'm giving you a necklace today, but this time next year, it'll definitely be a ring. Trust me."
"Will you really propose to me?" Charity lowered her head while playing with the pendant on the necklace.
Monte could not see her expression, but he was certain she was moved. “Of course."
"I hope you’ll do as you promised." Charity finally raised her head and looked at him seriously. “I’ll wait for you for a year.”
