Serenity and Zachary York novel Chapter 2868

Before Julian could respond, Quinn’s voice traveled from the top of the stairs.

“Food’s ready!”

Zoey called from the kitchen.

Everyone immediately entered the kitchen and clambered over each other to carry out the ingredients Zoey had prepared for the meat fondue.

Apart from Dave, who was not around, everyone sat around the table and dug into the piping-hot fondue.

Will even grabbed a bottle of good liquor from his dad’s collection and four small cups, asking Zoey, “Mom, is it okay if we have a bit to drink tonight?”

“If you don’t plan on going out after this, I’ll allow you to have a small glass each. Any more than that is a no-go.”

If they had too much and got drunk, their work tomorrow would be affected.

Will hummed in acknowledgment and said, “Okay, just a small glass then.”

A little was better than nothing.

“Quinn is a girl, so you should drink less.”

Will only poured half a glass for his little sister.

Quinn was very dissatisfied with this. “Yeah, I’m a girl, but my alcohol tolerance isn’t any worse than yours or Mark’s. I can remain rational after a small glass.”

“If you keep trying to bargain for more, I’ll only give you a sip. Julian can have that glass.”

Will used the authority of an older brother to control his sister’s alcohol intake.

After he finished pouring, he leaned in close and whispered into Quinn’s ear, “If you drink only a bit and stay sober, you can ask Julian if he’s being sincere once he’s drunk. They always say that a man is the most honest when he’s drunk. He’ll definitely be honest if you ask him when he’s drunk.”

Later on, as her children grew up and started attending preschool and primary school, she could not go visit her parents as much for the sake of her kids’ studies, so all she could do was grit her teeth and endure. It was okay indoors with the heater on, but no matter how many layers she wore when she went out, she always felt so cold.

Julian said with a smile, “I’m not afraid of the cold.”

Will said, “If Julian feels cold, just let Quinn hug him and feel her burning passion. He’ll definitely feel like it’s summer then.”

“Will!” Quinn exclaimed.

Will was teasing her.

A blush slowly overtook her face.

Will burst out laughing. “You’re blushing so hard from such a small glass of liquor. I think you’d better stop drinking. I’m scared you’ll get drunk at the slightest sip.”

Quinn was speechless.
