Chapter 813 I Will Drink On Her Behalf

“Let’s give Arissa a toast and see how much Benjamin can drink on her behalf,” Kingsley

urged everyone.

When Benjamin shot them a look, they let out a loud guffaw.

“Arissa, no matter what, you have to at least drink one glass with us. Despite knowing you

for such a long time, we’ve never managed to have one with you.”

Kingsley got to his feet and poured Arissa a glass.

She smiled. “I can’t drink much.”

“Just a sip is good enough,” Shaun replied with a grin.

Jonathan, too, approached with his glass raised for a toast. “Arissa, let’s drink!”

“Okay!”

Arissa had barely lifted her wine glass when a hand reached out to take it from her.

It was then that Benjamin switched it with a glass of orange juice. “You’re not allowed to

drink, as you still need to take your medication later.”

Benjamin proceeded to warn everyone, “She’s taking medication to supplement her health,

so she can’t have any alcohol.”



Kingsley and Jonathan gave both of them a look before turning their attention to Shaun.

The latter responded with a smile, “Arissa is indeed on medication right now. Let’s just drink

among ourselves.”

“That won’t do. Since Arissa can’t drink, Benjamin should do so on her behalf.”




To everyone’s amusement, Kingsley flashed a cheeky smile at Benjamin.

“Fine, I’ll do it.”

Raising the wineglass toward Jonathan, Benjamin downed it in one gulp.

“Are both of you drinking?”

Benjamin’s piercing gaze swept across Kingsley and Shaun.

“Yes, of course we are. Since you have drunk with Jonathan, you’re not going to pass us

over, are you?”

Kingsley let out a snort before refilling Benjamin’s wineglass and drinking with him.

“I want to drink three glasses with Arissa!”

While Benjamin glared at Kingsley, the amused Shaun and Jonathan admired the latter for

his courage.

“Hurry up!”

Kingsley leaned forward and clinked glasses with Benjamin, who harrumphed before

downing the drink.

“Shaun!”

Benjamin then drank one more with Shaun right away.

“Benjamin, that’s not the way!” Kingsley teased with a mischievous tone.

Benjamin—with a darkening gaze—warned him in a deep voice, “Kingsley, are you trying to

get on my nerves?”



Kingsley chuckled in response, his eyes curving into crescents. “It’s rare to be able to

gather like this.”

After giving them a look, Arissa said to Kingsley, “He has a weak stomach, so it’s not a good

idea for him to drink too much.”

Besides, this is someone else’s wedding. It would be rude to drink too much till they’re

inebriated.

“Look at how much Arissa cares about you!” Kingsley beamed till his eyes couldn’t be seen.

“We’ll take Arissa’s advice and not go down this path with you.”

Benjamin’s lips curled as he gave Arissa a look.

Leaning closer to her, he whispered, “They’re no match for me when it comes to drinking.”

Arissa giggled as she whispered back, “Even then, you shouldn’t drink too much.”

At that moment, Rosetta arrived with a glass of wine. “Thank you for coming to my

brother’s wedding!”

“You’re welcome, Ms. Adams.”

Kingsley laughed boisterously as he clinked glasses with her.

When Rosetta walked over to clink glasses with Shaun, Kingsley stopped her.

“Hey, that’s not right. No matter what, you’re still the host today. Since your brother isn’t

free to drink with us, you should represent him by having a drink with every single one of

us.”



Placed in a difficult position, Rosetta looked instinctively toward Benjamin.

However, Benjamin’s attention fell upon Kingsley instead. “You can make an exception for

Issa and me.”

His words caused Rosetta’s face to lose all color.

Does he not want to even drink with me?

“Benjamin….”

Benjamin turned toward her, his eyes emotionless. “Ms. Adams, it would be more

appropriate for you to address me as Mr. Graham.”

An awkward expression flashed across Rosetta’s face. “Benjamin, why are you being so

distant? Are you trying to spite me on purpose?”

A frosty look descended upon Benjamin’s face. “We don’t know each other that well, so

please mind your words, Ms. Adams. Otherwise, people might get the wrong idea.”

“You!”

Outraged by his words, Rosetta shot Arissa a glare. Is he worried that she’ll misunderstand?

“Benjamin, it’s not like you’re my only choice!”

Benjamin’s lips curled into a mocking smile.

“Stop right there!”

Rosetta stopped abruptly just as she was leaving.
