He Clings to Me Every Night-Chapter 592 - : Red Wine Soaked in Brandy
Chapter 592: Chapter 592: Red Wine Soaked in Brandy
Suddenly, everyone stared at Olivia Jenkins in surprise.
After a few seconds of stupefaction, it’s only then that Adam Howard snapped back into reality, “Sister-in-law, please sit down! The menu’s here, have a look and pick out anything you want to eat. No need to stand on ceremony with me.”
Olivia accepted the menu Adam handed over and passed it to Abigail Anderson. freewёbnoνel.com
Abigail, who had no intention of being polite, ordered an additional holder crab, two lobsters, and extra-large Alaskan king prawns.
Adam lightly arched his brow and suggested, “How about we add a spotted grouper?”
Abigail shrugged nonchalantly and replied, “I’m fine with that. Just so you know, I can eat a lot. It’s a seafood feast, and it won’t make you gain weight, so feast on it worry-free.”
Without a moment’s delay, Adam instructed the manager to serve another spotted grouper, specifying it to be the largest one.
Olivia looked sharply around at everyone present, “Why aren’t you all eating? Why are you just looking at me?”
Martin Wallace chuckled and teased, “Sister-in-law, you seem a little different tonight.”
Olivia grinned slyly and jokingly responded, “So you’re saying I look even prettier? As long as you’re not frightened by me, that’s okay. I’m familiar enough with you guys to not be shy or formal around you. I’m going to start eating.”
Olivia began to eat the salmon on her plate. Adam respectfully poured a glass of red wine for her, “We three men are having XO, would you like to join us?”
“We’ll stick with the red wine. This green dragon lobster can also be put in the hotpot to cook, it’s good.”
Other than Abigail, the three men were unwaveringly fixated on Olivia, who was engrossed in her food, seemingly unaffected by Daniel’s absence.
It was quite peculiar tonight, Daniel’s wife was here, yet Daniel who was always inseparable from his wife wasn’t present for dinner.
If he’s not with his wife, what else could he be doing instead?
Could it be that they had another quarrel and are back in their cold war?
Suddenly, Martin gave Adam a nudge under the table.
Adam gave him an innocent glance back: I also have no clue what’s going on!
Abigail, all the while eating, observed the slightly quirky group of men across from her, “Why aren’t you guys eating? Staring at us eating? Are you guys watching us eat like it’s a mukbang or something?”
Olivia chimed in, “I get the feeling you guys are acting surprised. Or is there something you want to say but aren’t able to? Speak up then, otherwise, I reckon you lot won’t be able to eat peacefully tonight.”
Adam awkwardly laughed and shook his head, “Nothing of the sort, let’s eat everyone. Sister-in-law is indeed getting prettier and the big hostess is also quite charming. But alas, the flower has its master. It’s just a little regretful.”
Abigail swiftly rebutted, “Stop with the sweet talk, just eat. The cream of the mega king prawns is plentiful, just the way I like it. I’ve really enjoyed tonight’s meal, thanks for the treat.”
Adam and the others, glanced at each other for a few seconds, then picked up their glasses, “Come on, let’s toast, here’s to everyone’s enjoyment.”
After the toast, both Olivia and Abigail finished the red wine in their glasses.
Just then, Olivia’s perfect eyebrows drew together a little in thought, “Adam, what type of red wine is this? I feel like the taste is a bit off, the tannin isn’t pure, and the astringent flavor is indescribable, as if it has a hint of spiciness.”
Adam, with an unwavering face, craftily fibbed, “Sister-in-law, this is a new wine. I haven’t tasted it before; it was a gift from a friend. I opened it for the first time to try it tonight.”
Olivia: “I’d recommend you don’t buy this sort of wine again, the taste isn’t good. While having salmon and seafood, pairing it with this wine is manageable, but if you were to have it alone, it wouldn’t do.”
The taste of brandy-infused red wine was obviously much more inferior. But Adam simply smirked, raising a brow, and decidedly kept his lips sealed.
This type of wine will definitely hit you quickly!
