True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 1518

Pedro, who had been observing in the dark, came out with a smile, "Ladies and gentlemen, dinner is ready. I'll serve it to you at once. Would you like some wine?"

"Wine?" Maria was puzzled, "Why would we want to drink wine? What's wrong with you, Pedro? Why are you allowing us to have alcohol?"

Gary was slightly startled as well. In an instant, he understood Pedro's intentions.

It turned out that he wanted them to be drunk so that they'd reveal their deepest secrets.

Pedro had always been thinking about setting Gary up with Celeste. He was even more worried about their matters compared to Gary's own parents.

Gary and Ernest's gaze swept towards Pedro. He didn't avoid their gaze at all. He met Gary's gaze and even winked at him.

Gary did not know whether to laugh or to cry. He could not be bothered to answer Pedro.

Ernest's gaze was equally sharp. He glanced at Pedro, observed his surroundings, and seemed to have understood something.

Celeste was the only one who had always had her head drooped as if she hadn't listened to what they had said.

Pedro went on to ask, "The two masters don't seem to have any objections. Let's have a drink. Is red wine alright?"

"I won't drink." Maria immediately shook her head, "I promised Liam that I wouldn't drink a drop of alcohol."

Everyone shot her a glance with great contempt.

Maria didn't feel ashamed and continued bluntly instead, "You guys enjoy. I won't drink."

Celeste raised her head and announced, "I won't drink either."

Pedro smiled and said, "Misses, the two of you are drinking alcohol at home. What are you afraid of?"

Celeste smiled faintly and said, "I'm afraid that you would be too worried."

Pedro felt embarrassed, "Uh, Miss Celeste, you've learned to joke."

The corners of Gary's lips twitched. He looked up at Celeste. It seemed that he had teased her too much that day.

Ernest revealed a smile on his face as he witnessed the scene before him unfold. He didn't say anything, but he certainly didn't expect Celeste to refute Pedro in such a manner.

Maria burst out laughing, "That's right, Pedro, you're acting strange. It's inappropriate to pressure girls into drinking."

"Alright then. The ladies won't have a drink. Master Gary, you'll be having some, right?" Pedro shifted his gaze to look at Gary.

"Yes." Gary nodded, "I'll have some."

Celeste frowned slightly.

Ernest probably didn't want Gary to feel embarrassed, so he too replied, "I'll have some as well."

"Alright." With that, Pedro left.

The food was served in no time.

The four of them sat around the table and ate together.

Gary and Ernest both drank some wine. The two of them even clinked glasses. Their etiquette was so on point that no one could comment on anything.

Maria looked at Gary and then at Ernest, blinking as she seemed to be deep in thought.

Celeste ate quietly without saying much. She was well-behaved.

Of course, she would also lift her gaze to look at Gary from time to time.

He had chugged down several glasses of wine, but he did not seem to be drunk at all.

Celeste exclaimed to herself. Did he drink a lot when he was in the United States?

At the thought of how he smoked and how skilled he was at drinking, Celeste could not help but feel a little startled and worried.

After looking at Gary several times, she found out that he was really skilled at drinking. He had already downed two glasses without realising it.

Compared to Ernest, he was much more skilled.

With countless doubts, Celeste was quick to finish her meal to find that Gary was still drinking. Since Ernest had already started enjoying his meal, he no longer accompanied Gary.

Gary was still drinking.

And it seemed that the more he drank, the more he couldn't stop drinking.

Not only did he drink, but he also stared at Celeste with complex emotions in his eyes. It irritated Celeste.

"Gary, stop drinking." Ernest felt that it was about time he stopped Gary, "If you overdrink, it might harm your health."

"It doesn't matter." He shook his head, "I'm happy today. It's fine to drink a little."

"You've drunk almost a whole bottle," Ernest reminded.

Seeing Gary in that state surprised Ernest.

Gary smiled and stared at Celeste.

Feeling annoyed, Celeste stood up and walked over to him. She reached out for his glass and ordered, "Stop drinking. Finish your meal."
