Chapter 976 Pretending to Be Drunk

Carl casually sat down on a chair beside Leonardo. Carl seemed to be tired and made some noise
when he sat down.

They could smell alcohol on his breath. Leonardo frowned and turned to look at him, "How much did
you drink?"

"Half a bottle..." Carl was a little dumbfounded. He stared at Leonardo for a long time before saying
these three words. Then he said inarticulately, "Liquor."

Carl murmured, and he even turned his head to make faces at Rosie.

Rosie curled her lips and said somewhat disdainfully, "Uncle Carl, you're so childish."

Carl tittered and looked a little silly.

Leonardo's eyebrows furrowed tightly as he looked at Douglas, "Go find the waiters and ask them to
prepare something to sober him up and deliver it over."

"No, no, no." Carl hurriedly interrupted when he heard this. He propped himself up and sat up, "I'm
okay!"

He whispered in Leonardo's ear, "Jessica will be here soon."

Although Carl was whispering to Leonardo, Carl was so drunk that he forgot to lower his voice.
Everyone in the room heard him.

Hearing this, Rosie became excited, "Auntie Jessica is coming?"

Carl put his index finger before his lips and made a silent gesture. Rosie turned to look at Summer with
a puzzled expression. She was confused. Why was Uncle Carl so strange?



Summer smiled and said to Rosie, "This is Uncle Carl's secret."

"Secret..." Alright, she wouldn’t ask anymore.

Leonardo did not care what Carl said. He still asked the waiter to cook for Carl.

"No! I don't want it!" Carl made noises on the chair like a child.

Leonardo couldn't stand any

more, so he raised his foot and kicked Carl, "Be quiet."

Carl hissed and lowered his head to knead his feet.

Summer glared at Leonardo, "Why did you kick him?"

"To wake him up." Leonardo coldly glanced at Carl, "It's useless to pretend to be drunk. How about
drinking another bottle of wine?"

Carl stiffened and raised his head with a light cough. Carl smiled with embarrassment, "Leonardo, don't
tear me apart." Carl sighed as if he didn't know what to say.

"Aren't you drunk?" Summer looked at Carl in surprise.

Leonardo explained in a light voice, "His drinking capacity was trained since he was young. It's not
easy for him to get drunk."

Summer was speechless, "What do you want to do?"

Carl scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "Nothing. I just... She hasn't spoken to me for a few e
days."



The room was unnaturally silent, as they all turned their gazes to Carl.

"What are you guys looking at me like this? I'm just..." Carl suddenly lowered his voice. "There's
nothing I can do about it."

Summer leaned back gently, not knowing what to say. Carl and Jessica circled around, but they were
not together.

Douglas smiled mischievously, and then he shouted in surprise, "You haven't been with Jessica yet?"

Carl was stunned for a moment, and then said coldly, "Douglas, shut up."

At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Carl immediately leaned back in his chair, his arms
weakly drooping down, pretending to be drunk. He turned around and said to them, "Here she comes.
Don't tear me apart."

After saying that, Carl closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.

The next moment, the door was pushed open, but the person who entered was not Jessica.
