Chapter 1269

    Marion opened a bottle of whisky and poured full sses for everyone.


    Randy raised his ss and said, "To Caleb."


    "To Caleb," the others echoed.


    Erica, known for her drinking prowess, downed her whisky at one go. Debra followed suit, though she wasn''t used to drinking strong spirits. Marion was thest to drink, finishing his with a straightforward ease.


    The four of them sat around the table, staring at the dishes spread before them.


    Erica clicked her tongue. "Honestly, how did Caleb get to his age eating this kind of junk?"


    Randy chimed in, "Exactly. I stopped eating this stuff after high school."


    Erica muttered, "Was it because abalone and lobster didn''t suit his taste? No. It''s because he couldn''t chew them."


    Everyone burst intoughter.


    "Come on, let''s toast to Caleb." Randy raised his ss again.


    Tonight, it seemed like there were too many unsaid words between them. They all poured out their hearts.


    Randy pped Marion on the shoulder. "Seriously, how did you deal with Caleb''s temper all these years? He was ruthless with everyone, and he must''ve been even harder on you."


    Ericained, "Exactly. He always made me stand in military posture as punishment. If my moves weren''t perfect, he''d make me do 200 leg lifts."


    "I didn''t have to do that," Marion replied inly.


    His calm response instantly triggered them. "What? Why not?"


    "Because I''m smarter than you," Marion replied with a straight face.


    "If you weren''t my buddy, I''d smack you right now," Randy muttered through gritted teeth.


    "And if you weren''t my cousin, I''d flip this table right here," Erica echoed.


    Debra chuckled at the exchange.


    As the drinks flowed and the night

    everyone was tipsy.


    food on the table had been


    "This burger was great," Randy mumbled. "Tasted just like when I was a kid."


    Erica pointed to the empty tes,


    wobbling as she spoke. "The


    fried


    chicken and the skewers were


    perfect to go with beer."


    "But for me," Randy added, "the pizza was the best. It always reminds me of home."


    He reached for another bottle of whisky, his flushed face glowing under the starry night sky.


    "To Caleb. Rest in peace," he said before smashing the bottle on the ground.


    Erica grabbed her bottle and followed suit. "Caleb, rest easy."


    Marion finished his whisky, then picked up a bottle and smashed it hard against the ground.

    managed to retain a shred of rity.


    As dawn broke, the four of them finally sumbed to the alcohol, slumping into their chairs and falling asleep.


    Half-asleep, Debra felt someone drape a nket over her. She opened her eyes to see Marion already awake.


    Overnight, a faint stubble had grown on his face. Debra reached out, her fingers brushing against his chin.


    "I don''t like seeing you like this. Last night was thest time."


    "Alright."
