Chapter 833
Yeager suspected Bernard was teaming up with Cedric, but he wasn’t quite sure
Without time to ponder, he quickly grabbed a bottle of wine and made his way to Bernard
He poured some red wine into Bernard’s glass, then poured himself a glass.
“Mr Laurence, let’s have a drink”
Just now, he had offered Cedric a full glass of wine. Breaking his own rule once, he had to keep it up.
So, the glass he offered to Bernard was also filled to the brim.
Yeager drained his glass in one go, while Bernard only took a sip. It seemed like a gesture of respect
for Yeager, yet also a bit awkward
Yeager was good at reading the room, so he didn’t say anything He just glanced at the wine glass, then
smiled friendly at Bernard
“Mr. Laurence, take your time.
Yeager wanted to leave after finishing his drink, but how could Bernard let him go so easily?
“Aidyn also wants to drink with you, hope you don’t mind?”
Aidyn, who was engrossed in his food, immediately put down his fork and knife and picked up his wine
glass when he heard Mr. Laurence called his name. He stood up and approached Yeager

Aidyn had a strong build. When he put his arm around Yeager’s shoulder, there was nothing Yeager
could do but to be dragged to the corner to drink.
Eleanor glanced at Yeager, who was being forced to drink by Aidyn, and wanted to say something but
found her hand being held by Bernard
“Don’t worry, Aidyn knows his limits”
“I know”
Eleanor’s gaze fell on Hailey who kept her head down
“I’m womed that Hailey would feel upset since Yeager is her boyfriend.”
Bernard’s intention was to gauge Hailey’s level of concern for Yeager
If, even in such circumstances, Hailey still showed sympathy for Yeager, then Cedric had no chance at
all.
Unaware of Bernard’s motives, Eleanor stood up and approached Hailey, offering comfort
‘Hailey don’t worry, Aldyn won’t let Yeager drink too much.”
“Um. Hailey responded, feeling unsure and at a loss for words
Caught in an awkward situation, Hailey found herself torn. If she knew that Bernard was aiding Cedric,
stopping Aidyn from pressuring Yeager to drink would mean opposing her good friend’s husband. Yet, if
she allowed it to happen, she would feel guilty for betraying Yeager’s pleading eyes. Hailey felt trapped
in a dilemma.
From Bernard’s perspective, Hailey’s internal conflict suggested that Yeager wasn’t as significant in her
heart, leaving an opening for Cedric
Recognizing this, Bernard lifted his gaze and subtly signaled Aidyn with a wave of his hand.
“Take it easy”
Only then did Aidyn pat Yeager’s back with a laugh
“Dr. Yeager, you can hold your liquor pretty well Next time we’ll have another good drink, but that’s
enough for today”
“Alright”
After being forced to drink several glasses of red wine, Yeager seemed a bit tipsy
Aidyn chuckled inwardly. Yeager can’t hold his liquor yet dared to provoke Cedric in front of Mr.
Laurence He didn’t know where Yeager got his guts
After putting down the wine bottle, Aidyn turned and went back to his seat, picked up his fork and knife,
and continued eating
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe hoped to finish eating quickly and then go to sleep
Nina, sitting opposite Aidyn, gave Aidyn a thumbs up.
“You’re really something”
“Huh? What makes me something?”
Aidyn asked Nina curiously while eating
Nina turned her thumb toward Yeager
“You managed to get Hailey’s fiancé drunk, that’s something!”
Upon hearing this, Aidyn stopped cutting his steak and looked at Nina
“Don’t you feel sorry for Haley’s fiancé?”
“Why should I feel sorry for him?”
Nina felt she still preferred Will
“I thought you’d lose your mind at the sight of a handsome man
“Humph, I’m not like that”
Well, this kid knows her own mind
“Alright, stop talking to me, I need to eat!”
“You’re such a foodie_”
Nina pouted, lifting her eyes to Hailey who was pouring sobering tea for Yeager
“I still think Cedric and Hailey are a better match.”
