Hearing that, Kevin looked over, and it was the true that they were match.
“Yes, you are right. It’s a pity that they’re not together.”
“Oscar, I think they are match from the begging and I really wanted them to be together.”
Kevin couldn’t help admiring.
“I think they are match too, but it is useless, they are not in a hurry.”
Two men were gossiping, but their positions were consistent.
When Winnie came in, she went directly to the kitchen and was surprised to see two men standing idly.
“What are you doing? Why aren’t you cooking? Mr. Bennet said Leo and Emily were downstairs and would come up soon.”
“Look at the painting.”
“Look at the scenery.”
Two people said at the same time, although there was the literal difference, the meaning was the same.
“Crazy, you continue to look at the painting, I will cook.”
Winnie was puzzled, but she didn’t have time to play word games with the two men.
Downstairs at Daenerys’ house.
Emily arrived first, but had been waiting downstairs for Leo. To act well, at least they came up together.
Leo came in a hurry and found a parking space to park the car before he came to Emily.
The two of them walked together toward the apartment.
Emily walked silently. Leo wanted to speak but he did not feel it was the right time, so he had been silent too.
Suddenly Emily stopped and looked sideways at Leo. Then she spoke politely.
“I may need your help. I am afraid that we have to drink, and if I am drunk, find me a driver.”
Drinking could solve everything when she was in a bad mood. If Winnie did not let her drink, she wanted to be drunk once.
“Don’t be so polite. I feel strange when you talk to me like that.”
And Leo did not feel good.
“We are strangers, and I will be ill-bred if I am not polite. Don’t worry, I won’t be so polite when I’m acting.”
Emily didn’t see anything wrong with her. Although it hurt herself to speak like this, it was a basic etiquette when communicating with strangers.
“Emily, even if we have broken up, we can’t be so strange. Can’t we be friends?”
Leo could accept the word stranger. He wanted to make up for Emily, but as a stranger, she would not accept that.
Emily was silent. She did not want to make friends with the people who cheated her, or she would be cheated again, but looking at Leo’s sincere eyes, she did not refuse.
In this dilemma, she kept silent.
For a moment.
“Let’s go upstairs, they’re waiting.”
Emily did not give the answer, because her heart was very messy and painful, and she had lost the ability to judge.
Leo had expected that. He was disappointed but he did not intend to give up. He did not intend to give up the friendship and did not intend to let Emily be hurt.
Emily and Leo were the last to arrive. When they arrived, the table was already set, waiting for them to wash their hands and eat.
“Sorry, we are late. You can punish us to drink.”
Emily returned to her usual innocent and uninhibited personality, and no one could tell that they had broken up.
“I’m not going to let you off today.”
Winnie said to Emily.
“Leo, as I said, we have to drink tonight.”
Emily took the initiative to communicate with Leo, suggesting that he needed to find her a driver.
“Emily said on the way that you will ask her to drink today.”
Leo said gently and naturally.
Winnie was puzzled but did not take it seriously.
“You are wise, all of you have to drink today except Daenerys. Daenerys doesn’t have enough rooms. You have to find the driver early.”
Winnie was active because she wanted to make her heart excited. She did not want to feel depressed and put all her attention on Brian.
She was surprised to see Brian, but she was happy to see his face not cold and he was not frowning.
They were together to accelerate New Year in advance. And she was happy that she could accelerate New Year with Brian.
Daenerys joined in, dropping her head and stroking her belly.
“Come out, baby, I want to drink too.”
“Don’t worry, I will drink with you after you gave birth.”
Emily said and couldn’t help laughing.
“Does your boyfriend know you’re so bad? Leo, you should be careful.”
Daenerys could not help but smile. They had fun together. Seeing that Winnie laughed unrestrainedly, she was in a good mood.
“He needn’t be careful. I won’t marry him. I’ll wait for Oscar to be forty.”
Then Emily picked up the glass and took another gulp.
She wanted to marry a man who loved her. She can act temporarily to help Leo, but she would not live a lifetime in the love of others.
She treated everything with a free heart, but not love, so she would not marry a man who loved other woman.
All the people laughed, even Brian gave a light radian. Leo was the only one who could not laugh. He was the only one who knew that Emily was not joking or saying something angry. She meant it when she said she would not marry him.
It might be that she was in a good mood today, or the wine was sweet and mellow. After drinking a lot, Winnie was still sober. But Emily soon got drunk.
Emily did not admit that she was drunk, but still insisted to drink. Leo persuaded Emily.
“Don’t drink, or you will have headache tomorrow.”
“It doesn’t matter, I don’t have to go to work. Winwin, don’t drink. You have to go to work tomorrow.”
Emily thought Leo’s concern was for Winnie.
Although Winnie experienced too much suffering, at this time, Emily was particularly envious of Winnie, because two of the best men loved her.
But she was a tool for him, but at least it was worth something.
Emily comforted herself in the heart.
Winnie turned her head and smiled at Emily.
“I know I will get a headache when I drink too much. So today I’ve finished all my work for tomorrow morning...”
“Oh...Tomorrow morning you will be off. You’re smart. Let’s all propose for Winnie’s wisdom... pregnant woman, you can drink water.”
Emily suggested and everyone agreed.
