Even After Death Novel (Olivia Fordham And Ethan Miller) novel Chapter 58

Chapter 58

Olivia reached out to the wine bottle. “You’re right. I should raise a glass to them.”

Almost instantly, Keith and Everly stopped her and warned her sternly, “No. You can’t drink.

She looked at Everly pleadingly. “I’ll only take a sip. It’s fine.”

Everly let go of Olivia’s hands when she read the determination in her friends‘ eyes.

Olivia poured herself a glass of red wine and made her way to the couple while Keith looked on with hesitation. With a smile, she said, “Mr. Miller, Ms. Carlton, I wish you a happy marriage. I’ll drink this toast whether you like it or not. Please consider this my congratulations in advance. I will not attend your engagement party.”

Then, she downed the glass of wine like the guest before her without looking at Ethan and Marina.

Ethan knew she was a lightweight who’d get tipsy from a glass of wine. Marina stood up with her glass and beamed. “Ethan and I will be happy. Thanks for your blessing.”

In what seemed to be a competition, she poured herself a full glass of wine and downed it like Olivia.

“Enough!” Two male voices echoed in the room. Ethan and Keith had to put a stop to the madness.

Keith grabbed the half–empty glass from Olivia and told Ethan, “For the sake of her health, I’ll drink on her behalf.”

Ethan, who had been silent, finally broke into an amused smile. “Who are you to her? What right do you have to drink on her behalf?”
