After the liveliness ended, there was only loneliness left in him.
After that, Quill was no longer willing to go to Ernest's hto celebrate the New Year.
Because when he returned from Ernest's home, he had to face a big cold house. Although there were servants, there weren't any loved ones.
He was afraid that if he went there too many times, he would feel more and more lonely, so he stopped going. Of course, no one would know what he was going through, and no one would know how he felt. Vera didn't know much about his past. There seemed to be a flash of loneliness in his eyes when he said these words, but it was soon enveloped by other emotions. She desperately wanted to search for it, but it was gone.
"What are you looking atfor? Eat." Quill held her palm and pinched her gently.
He'd done such an action in front of her parents. Vera's face immediately turned red, so she stopped looking at him and bowed her head to eat immediately.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSeeing their interaction, David and Mabie couldn't help but smile.
In the beginning, everyone was a little restrained, but gradually, they started talking. David talked about work with Quill at first, then it gradually diverted to certain businesses. Quill kept a good attitude the entire time. Soon, David was in the mood to drink.
However, after his car accident, David decided to watch his health. As soon as Mabie heard he wanted to drink, she immediately gave him the side-eye.
"Aren't you watching your health? Why do you want to drink?" David slapped his thigh and said, "Quill's here, and I am happy, so I want to drink with him." Mabie didn't want to agree at first, but on second thought, Quill rarely came, and they would only be drinking once, so it wouldn't be a big deal.
So she agreed.
Seeing her father in high spirits, Vera could only get up and get the wine. She said to David, "Dad, although you're happy, you can't drink too much." "Go, go, go. Why you worrying so much?" Vera sat down next to Quill again and whispered, "My dad used to be good at drinking. Don't drink too much with him." What should she do if he drank too much or got drunk? How would he go back then? "Okay," Quill responded. He held Vera's hand firmly, and Vera's face turned slightly red. She tried to withdraw her hand, but Quill used sstrength, so she couldn't.
Because her parents were opposite them, Vera didn't dare to do too much. She tried to withdraw her hand a few times but failed every time, so she gave up.
After that, the two men began to drink. Mabie was worried about David's health, so when he was drinking, she went to the kitchen to make shangover soup for when they got drunk.
At first, David promised to only drink a little, but when he started drinking, it was non-stop, and the more he drank, the more high spirits he was. Most friendships between men were straightforward. No matter what kind of hatred they held towards each other, as long as they drank together, they would becgood friends and let go of the vigilance in their hearts.
And David was such a person. He used to think Quill was somewhat unreliable and had sprejudice against his identity. But when he saw Quill was willing to drink and chat with him, David's prejudice against him eased, and he kept talking to him.
"Quill, my boy..." Hearing this, Vera suddenly felt a little awkward. "Dad..." "It doesn't matter." Quill pinched her palm again and gave her a calm look.
After that, Mabie cout of the kitchen and called Vera over. It was only then Quill let go of her hand.
Vera ran into the kitchen.
"Mom, what's wrong?" "How's Quill's alcohol tolerance? Your father can really drink. What if..." Quill's alcohol tolerance? Vera felt a headache coming because Quill's tolerance seemed to be excellent. Before the two of them were dating, she stood in for Minerva to propose toasts with Quill. She forced herself to drink, and she even got drunk at the end. But she recalled Quill's steps were steady the next day. He was even the one who brought her back, and then...
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmVera was too embarrassed to recall what happened next.
Moreover, she was hurt by his words the next day. Even at this point, her heart ached, remembering those words.
"What's wrong?" Mabie waved her hand in front of Vera, and she cto her senses. Seeing Mabie staring at her, she shook her head and said, "Nothing, I was just reminiscing. Mom, Quill is good at drinking, but it's best if they don't drink too much." "That's no good." Hearing that, Mabie immediately becworried. "If your father found a person who's good at drinking, he'll make them go the whole night. I should have stopped him just now." "But didn't you stop him just now? Dad is in high spirits. Forget it. One night should be fine." Vera said. Although Vera was also a little worried, as it was bad if they drank too much, it shouldn't be a problem if it was only a night. After all, it was a special night, so Vera did not strongly prevent the notion.
"Fine, if they want to drink, let them drink. But Quill has to go to work tomorrow, doesn't he? You'd better tell him to pretend to be drunk. If your father sees that the other person is drunk, he will certainly not continue drinking." "I know, Mom."
Vera and Mabie cout of the kitchen with a bowl of hangover soup each in their hands. As soon as David smelt it he wrinkled his nose with dissatisfaction and said, "We just started drinking not long ago. Why are you already making hangover soup?" Although his words sounded a little reproachful, David's tone and eyes were full of helplessness, and there was no actual blat all.
"What? Can't I prepare it for you in advance? Am I supposed to only do it when you're drunk?" Mabie glared at David without hesitation. David was speechless.
"What are you talking about? How can I be drunk? All the neighbors know how good I am at drinking!" Vera also sat down by Quill's side
with a bowl of hangover soup. While Whytoward David and Mabie were talking, she quietly leaned toward Quill's ear and whispered, My father is not only a good drinker, but he is also competitive. He will only stop drinking if you're drunk." Hearing that, Quill put on a faint smile. He gave Vera a look and patted her hand gently under the table, reassuring her.
