?Chapter 789:


    But where was her friend?


    Levy clicked his tongue in mild amusement. Flossie seemed genuinely innocent,cking the sophistication to employ any strategies other than initially staining his clothes.


    She could have easily seized the opportunity to shed tears in front of him, pleading for him to stay. Or perhaps she could have held onto his suit, using it as an excuse to see him again in the future. She even had the option to request a ride home, citing safety concerns about being alone at night.


    Many of his ex-girlfriends had resorted to such tactics. But Flossie didn’t. She came hesitantly and left straightforwardly.


    Levy couldn’t help but cover his face and chuckle at the thought. He truly couldn’t fathom why she had the audacity to make advances toward him. And he couldn’tprehend why someone like him would be appealing to a woman with such a timid nature.


    The ambiance at the banquet exuded warmth. Upon Levy’s return, his girlfriend immediatelytched onto his arm, as if afraid he might slip away.


    “Levy, I quite like the girl from earlier. She’s my type. Can you pass me her phone number?” the young man beside Levy asked, smiling as he spoke.


    Levy merely nced at him, offering no response. This man was nothing more than a serial dater, clearly unsuitable for Flossie.


    The man persisted in asking for Flossie’s contact information.


    “She is a friend of Ellie’s. Are you sure you want to pursue her romantically?” Levy inquired.


    The man promptly conceded, retreating in embarrassment. Ellie was fiercely protective of her friends, and he dared not make advances toward them.


    As Levy savored his wine, he contemted whether he would have shared Flossie’s phone number with the man if she had not been friends with Ellie. Likely not. A yboy typically indulged with more adventurous women, while a simpler girl was better suited for affection and care.


    As the central figures of the evening’s festivities, Baylee and Marvin found themselves continuously served copious amounts of alcohol. Initially, the intention was to get Baylee drunk, yet to everyone’s surprise, even amidst a group of drunken people, Baylee remained remarkablyposed and spirited.

    Ultimately, it was Marvin who intervened, forbidding Baylee from consuming any more alcohol.


    “I’ve never seen Baylee drunk before. I can’t believe they’re trying to get her drunk,” Ellie remarked to Kaiden in a hushed tone.


    Kaiden, indifferent to Baylee’s alcohol tolerance, cast Ellie a meaningful nce. Ellie swiftly understood the yful insinuation in his gaze.


    “I’m not naturally good at drinking,” Ellie murmured. “Baylee used to drink on my behalf at parties. You should thank her.”


    Upon hearing that, Kaiden clicked his tongue. He felt a slight sense of difort, though he couldn’t pinpoint the cause.
