Chapter 813


    Chapter 813 I Will Drink On Her Behalf


    “Let’s give Arissa a toast and see how much Benjamin can drink on her behalf,” Kingsley urged


    everyone.


    When Benjamin shot them a look, they let out a loud guffaw.


    “Arissa, no matter what, you have to at least drink one ss with us. Despite knowing you for such a


    long time, we’ve never managed to have one with you.”


    Kingsley got to his feet and poured Arissa a ss.


    She smiled. “I can’t drink much.”


    “Just a sip is good enough,” Shaun replied with a grin.


    Jonathan, too, approached with his ss raised for a toast. “Arissa, let’s drink!”


    “Okay!”


    Arissa had barely lifted her wine ss when a hand reached out to take it from her.

    It was then that Benjamin switched it with a ss of orange juice. “You’re not allowed to drink, as you


    still need to take your medicationter.”


    Benjamin proceeded to warn everyone, “She’s taking medication to supplement her health, so she


    can’t have any alcohol.”


    Kingsley and Jonathan gave both of them a look before turning their attention to Shaun.


    Thetter responded with a smile, “Arissa is indeed on medication right now. Let’s just drink among


    ourselves.”


    “That won’t do. Since Arissa can’t drink, Benjamin should do so on her behalf.”


    To everyone’s amusement, Kingsley shed a cheeky smile at Benjamin.


    “Fine, I’ll do it.”


    Raising the winess toward Jonathan, Benjamin downed it in one gulp.


    “Are both of you drinking?”


    Benjamin’s piercing gaze swept across Kingsley and Shaun.


    “Yes, of course we are. Since you have drunk with Jonathan, you’re not going to pass us over, are


    you?”


    Kingsley let out a snort before refilling Benjamin’s winess and drinking with him.


    “I want to drink three sses with Arissa!”


    While Benjamin red at Kingsley, the amused Shaun and Jonathan admired thetter for his courage.


    “Hurry up!”


    Kingsley leaned forward and clinked sses with Benjamin, who harrumphed before downing the


    drink.


    “Shaun!”


    Benjamin then drank one more with Shaun right away.


    “Benjamin, that’s not the way!” Kingsley teased with a mischievous tone.


    Benjamin—with a darkening gaze—warned him in a deep voice, “Kingsley, are you trying to get on my


    nerves?”


    Kingsley chuckled in response, his eyes curving into crescents. “It’s rare to be able to gather like this.”


    After giving them a look, Arissa said to Kingsley, “He has a weak stomach, so it’s not a good idea for


    him to drink too much.”


    Besides, this is someone else’s wedding. It would be rude to drink too much till they’re inebriated.


    “Look at how much Arissa cares about you!” Kingsley beamed till his eyes couldn’t be seen. “We’ll take


    Arissa’s advice and not go down this path with you.”


    Benjamin’s lips curled as he gave Arissa a look.


    Leaning closer to her, he whispered, “They’re no match for me when ites to drinking.”


    Arissa giggled as she whispered back, “Even then, you shouldn’t drink too much.”


    At that moment, Rosetta arrived with a ss of wine. “Thank you foring to my brother’s wedding!”


    “You’re wee, Ms. Adams.”


    Kingsleyughed boisterously as he clinked sses with her.


    When Rosetta walked over to clink sses with Shaun, Kingsley stopped her.


    “Hey, that’s not right. No matter what, you’re still the host today. Since your brother isn’t free to drink


    with us, you should represent him by having a drink with every single one of us.”


    ced in a difficult position, Rosetta looked instinctively toward Benjamin.


    However, Benjamin’s attention fell upon Kingsley instead. “You can make an exception for Issa and


    me.”


    His words caused Rosetta’s face to lose all color.


    Does he not want to even drink with me?


    “Benjamin….”


    Benjamin turned toward her, his eyes emotionless. “Ms. Adams, it would be more appropriate for you to


    address me as Mr. Graham.”


    An awkward expression shed across Rosetta’s face. “Benjamin, why are you being so distant? Are


    you trying to spite me on purpose?”


    A frosty look descended upon Benjamin’s face. “We don’t know each other that well, so please mind


    your words, Ms. Adams. Otherwise, people might get the wrong idea.”


    “You!”


    Outraged by his words, Rosetta shot Arissa a re. Is he worried that she’ll misunderstand?


    “Benjamin, it’s not like you’re my only choice!”


    Benjamin’s lips curled into a mocking smile.


    “Stop right there!”


    Rosetta stopped abruptly just as she was leaving.
