Zivon sensed her tightening her hand around his arm and he said in a low and indifferent voice, “Jenna has done them all a favor.”
He was implying that she did not need to worry because they were all very good to Jenna.
But no matter how friendly they were, they were still big shots.
She really did not know what kind of bad luck she had to be implicated in this kind of matter.
Xavia had a headache. She took a deep breath before following Zivon into the private room.
The table in the luxurious and magnificent large room was filled with all sorts of wine and delicacies. The wealthy and reputable women who were seated inside were all dressed very well and they were all very elegant and noble.
But as soon as they saw Jenna, all of them had a gentle smile on their faces.
“Jenna is here. We waited a long time.”
“It’s normal to be busy since it’s a wedding but we will have to punish you by making you drink three glasses of wine.”
“The first lady is right. Jenna, drink three glasses of wine.” Ava rounded up the situation and she immediately asked someone to pour three glasses of wine.
Xavia’s eyes widened as she looked at it.
Three glasses!
She did not know how to drink!
Zivon naturally understood and he took the initiative to say, “We got delayed because something came up for me. Let me drink instead.”
Several ladies immediately smiled brightly and said, “Young Master Burton, you feel distressed for Jenna and you are spoiling your wife?”
“I really did not expect Young Master Burton to do a good job in his career and also do so well as a husband.”
“Alright then. Young Master Burton can drink on Jenna’s behalf on account of his love for his wife.”
“But you cannot just drink it like that. You should cross arms with Jenna and drink the three cups of wine.”
What?
Cross arms and drink?!
What generation was this? They still had to cross arms and drink?
Xavia was embarrassed.
One of the ladies said, “Look at you guys. You’re still stuck in the old thoughts. The young people nowadays do not cross arms and drink anymore.”
Most importantly, they were all of a very distinguished and high status. She could not afford to offend any of them!
What should she do?
Xavia looked at Zivon with her pitiful eyes once again to ask for his help but she realized that this man was being as noble and indifferent as he ever and he had no intentions of helping her at all.
That’s right. This was Jenna and his wedding and he would not refuse.
“Jenna, don’t be so reserved.” Ava carefully touched her arm.
It was already impolite for them to be late just now and they would not be respectful if they did not cooperate and play along with the game now.
Ava’s urging tone carried a trace of command.
Xavia was in a dilemma.
In the end, Ava could not stand it any longer and she fed the wine to Xavia’s mouth directly.
Xavia was completely helpless as she was being forced because it was impossible for her to back out now. So, she could only smack her lips before she plucked up the courage to drink the wine. After that, she leaned over and stood on her tiptoe…
And she kissed Zivon’s lips…
