"Sam's girlfriend looks really good. How old is she? What does she major in? What is she doing now? What do her parents do?" A group of people began to curiously ask about Olivia.
Whenever relatives gathered, they liked to talk about these things as they didn't know what else to talk about sometimes, not that they had any ill intentions. Just like how they were asking about Olivia now.
They didn't have any ill intentions toward Olivia. As if Sam's actual girlfriend attended the wedding instead of her, they would be curious as well.
Hence, Olivia wasn't upset and was even ready to answer all the questions.
Unexpectedly, Sam, who had been silent, suddenly said, "When will the wedding begin? Shouldn't we be going in?" "Soon. There's still 20 minutes. You guys cin time. Why don't you go in and have a drink first?" Have a drink? Hearing that, Olivia smiled.
It would be nice to have a drink, she thought happily.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs the topic took a sharp turn, Emma looked at her son's straight face and only realized the relatives had asked too many questions. Young girls tend to be shy, so they'd be put in a difficult situation. Hence, she also hurriedly smooth things over. "Well, let's all go in. It'd be bad if we delay the ceremony." The group of people then walked in.
Olivia and Sam walked at the back. Olivia, who had been wrapping her arms around Sam's for show earlier, had now let go and maintained a distance from him as they were no longer the center of attention. "I'm telling you this now. This is your relative's wedding. If you want to throw away your dignity, that's your problem. I won't embarrass myself, so if I need you to cooperate, do it. However, you want to clarify to your parents, wait until we go back." Her voice sounded cold, devoid of warmth. Sam gave her a sidelong glance but did not speak.
"Did you hear what I said?" Unhappy, Olivia stopped and asked him, "If you don't agree, then don't go in. I'll take a taxi and leave immediately." Sam did not expect her to be so decisive. He stared at her for a while and said, "I agree. You're right. Since you're here, I won't let you embarrass yourself. I'll be honest with them after we go back." "Okay, it's a deal then." Although they had made a deal, both of them could not help feeling bothered due to the quarrel they had earlier. It was impossible that they'd talk rationally now. So after they entered, Sam was called away, and Olivia found a place to sit down.
Sam was a close relative, so he was called to the head table. However, Olivia didn't want to join him, so she sat at a random table despite Emma's persistent persuasion.
In the end, Emma gave in and helplessly said that she would cand find her later. After reminding her to eat, Emma then left.
There were several girls of Olivia's age at the table. When they saw how friendly Emma was toward her, they carefully asked about her.
"I heard that you are Sam's girlfriend? Is that true?" "You're gorgeous. How did you meet Sam?" Glancing at them, Olivia saw that they were her age, and it seemed that they were only talking to her because of Sam, so she said in a smile, "Just callOllie. I'm not his girlfriend." "Huh?" Their faces changed slightly. "But they said..." "I'm kidding." Olivia laughed and said, "I am his girlfriend. I was just messing with you guys. Why would I attend the wedding with him if I wasn't?" "True that. Ollie, what do you do for a living?" As Olivia replied, she noticed a bottle of red wine in front of her, and she was suddenly in the mood to drink. She first drank half a glass, then couldn't help pouring more for herself. Seeing the way she drank, the other girls couldn't help feeling astonished, "Ollie, do you drink often? Will I easily get drunk drinking this?" Olivia could tell these girls never drank in their lives. Hence, she explained patiently, "Red wine has got a kick to it, but you'll be fine if you drink a little. Best not to drink too much if this is your first time." In reality, she rarely drank too. It was just that since Tiana's Prince Charming frequently performed at the bar, and she was always asked to tag along, so she had learned to drink. "Okay. Thank you, Ollie." Eager to have a go, the girls drank along with Olivia. Soon, the wine on their table was completely gone.
However, it was Olivia who drank most of it.
When the other elders saw this, they couldn't help but say, "You girls, don't just drink. You have to eat something. What if you get drunk?" "Yeah, Ollie, you've drunk so much. You'd better eat sfood." Ollie shook her head; she felt fine.
"I'm fine. You guys eat. I'll drink a little more." When the servers brought the food, Olivia ordered more wine. Most of the guests at their table were women, so they were all drinking red wine.
However, things were different at the head table. They were mostly elderly men, so the liquor they had was intense. As Sam was driving, he didn't want to drink, but there was no way the others would let him off easily.
"It's your cousin's wedding today.
How can you not drink? Besides, if you are drunk, stay for the night.
Don't you feel tired after driving the whole day? Your cousin has booked many rooms upstairs. You can stay and rest."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSam originally wanted to refuse, but when the words were at the tip of his tongue, he suddenly remembered how unwell Olivia felt during the car ride, yet she didn't say a word about it but dry-heaved in the washroom. She was quite pitiful.
He didn't mind rushing back later, but what about Olivia? She was so unwell. It would be better for her to rest for a night and return the next day.
With the thought in mind, Sam did not refuse any further. In actuality, he his m was not a good drinker, and his Good capacity for alcohol was not very good. However, it was a special day, so everyone was drinking. He'd be a misfit if he didn't follow suit. They were all relatives, after all.
Seeing that Sam no longer refused, they began drinking happily.
His cousin and his newly married wife toasted him. When they drank, his cousin Budged him and whispered, "Dude, good for you. I saw your girlfriend. She is gorgeous." Sam paused for a moment before he smiled faintly and said, "Thank you." "C'mon, Sam, make an effort to marry her soon. I'll give you a chance to toast me."
