The waiter invited Nicole and Julie upstairs.
When Nicole entered the door, she asked, "Is that man really your boss’s husband?"
The waiter looked awkward and nodded.
"Yes, this isn't the first time Mr. Norton has come here to make trouble. From time to time, he would bring his
friends here to eat and drink without paying and even hit our boss. Our boss landed up in the hospital several times
because of him.”
'Then why don’t you call the police? Domestic violence is illegal."
The waiter shook his head in bewilderment.
Julie brought Nicole inside.
"I know everything that you want to know.’’
She whispered, "I'll tell you later. But you gotta thank Eric for earlier. Do you want to invite him over?”
Nicole glanced at her. "Isn't this your birthday party? You decide."
Now that the ball was in her court, Julie did not want to cause trouble.
Clayton seemed gentle and good-natured, but he could hold a grudge.
Julie did not want to offend Clayton.
She smiled and sat down next to Nicole.
"Forget it then. This is an intimate party, and I'm afraid he’ll feel uncomfortable when he comes.”
Kai was immersed in his singing and could not extricate himself from it.
Everyone cheered and applauded.
After the song, Kai prepared flowers and surprises for Julie.
Julie was happy and drank a few more glasses of wine.
Nicole joked with them and felt much more relaxed.
She gave Julie a customized limited-edition bracelet, which made Julie delighted.
Finally, everyone drank a little too much and started playing games.
Kai proposed a very tacky game - Truth or Dare.
It was mainly "Dares" because 'Truth" was not exciting enough.
Everyone was excited when they spun the turntable.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen it was Julie's turn, Kai proposed loudly, "Kiss the man on your right for ten seconds!"
Julie knew that the man on the right was Kai himself.
Everyone sighed.
'That's cheating!"
"How boring!"
Kai did not care about them because he had to be partial to his wife.
Thus, he leaned forward and kissed Julie for a while. Julie's face flushed.
In the next game, it was Nicole's turn.
Nicole's face froze, and she looked up at Kai.
Kai rubbed his palms, stood up excitedly, pointed at the door, and said loudly, "Kiss the first man you meet when
you open the door!"
Nicole's eyes widened in shock.
"Kai, I'm your sister!"
"I know that. Don't worry. What goes on here will stay here. I will always keep it a secret for you. We're having so
much fun, so don't you want to take this opportunity to indulge yourself?"
Kai really drank too much. His face was flushed, and he lost his reason.
He even tried to trick his sister.
'Fine!' Nicole thought as she glared at him angrily.
"What if it's a woman?"
Julie did not dare to go too far and quickly said, "Forget about it then. We'll consider it a pass."
Nicole looked at the couple and was so angry that she could not speak.
The rest of the group watched in excitement.
Ian laughed so hard that he spilled his glass of wine all over the floor.
"Kai, you should've told me to go outside and wait first!"
Lumi, who was next to Ian, twisted his ear and said, "I dare you to go!"
Ian kept begging for mercy.
There was laughter in the room.
Nicole was helpless. She could not just walk away at this time. Moreover, everyone drank, so it was not good to
spoil the fun.
She stood up and walked out slowly, praying that it was a woman that appeared outside the door.
Her hand fell on the doorknob.
Seeing her hesitation, Kai laughed recklessly and booed her.
"Sis, don't be afraid. You've become such a coward after you married Clayton. You weren't like this before. I’ll take
you out to more parties in the future..."
Nicole got a headache from his voice.
She simply opened the door.
The person at the door seemed to be standing there the whole time.
The man was tall and strong but with a gentle temperament.
The light from outside enveloped him.
The voices inside also leaked out of the room.
When Kai saw the man standing outside, he suddenly stammered.
"You shouldn't go overboard in games, Nicole. Family is more important. Right, Brother-In-Law?"
Who would have known that the person standing outside was Clayton himself?
Could this be any more of a coincidence when the subject of Nicole's dare was her husband?
Kai wished he could bite off his tongue.
When Nicole saw the man outside, her tangled and distressed look suddenly disappeared.
She rushed forward to hug Clayton and happily kissed him several times. Then, she looked at Kai provocatively.
"How’s that? I kissed him!"
Kai said, "Yes, yes, yes..."
He could barely hold his smile.
"Clayton, why didn't you tell us when you arrived so I could go down and pick you up?"
Julie could not help but roll her eyes at him.
"You're so useless!"
She stood up and walked over.
"Come on in! We were waiting for you."
Clayton's cold face softened slightly. He still respected Julie, who was Nicole's best friend.
After all, Nicole did not have many friends.
The ones Nicole kept meant a lot to her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmClayton walked in with a smile and handed over the gift in his hand.
"Happy birthday, Julie."
Julie took it over. 'Thank you! I'm glad you could make it. We were just joking earlier, so don't take it seriously."
Clayton nodded and stroked Nicole's hair dotingly.
Nicole hung on his body, and the couple sat on the side.
The few people who were booing just now learned that silence was gold.
Seeing that Clayton was not angry, Kai slowly let go of his guard and started playing again.
However, they just began drinking even more.
No one dared to let Clayton drink.
Nicole drank a few cups and felt dizzy, so she lay on Clayton's lap and squinted her eyes slightly.
Everyone cheered on the other side.
Someone started smoking, and the smell was very strong.
Nicole blinked, frowned, and wanted to raise her head because she felt uncomfortable. However, someone’s hand
pressed herdown.
That hand touched her hair gently and covered the lower half of her face.
Nicole could smell a warm scent of grapefruit and agarwood from Clayton's cuffs. This was the perfume that she
found someone to mix on a whim, and it was unique to him.
In an instant, Nicole felt much better without the smell of smoke.
Those hands were gently placed on her face, and they did not move away until the end.
He was deliberately blocking the smoke for her.
Finally, Nicole got up during the birthday song and stopped eating after having two bites of cake.
It was already late when the party was over.
Kai still did not party enough, but Julie dragged him home and cursed at him.
"Is it my birthday or your birthday?"
"Babe, I wish you could celebrate your birthday every day!"
"Oh, shut up!"
Nicole and Clayton followed behind.
When they left, they saw that there were only a few people. They walked in the direction of the bar and tapped on
the counter.
"How's your boss?"
The waiter paused and shook his head:
I'm not sure."
