Alexander happily wraps his arm around Evie’s shoulder and introduces, “My wife, Evie!”
The next second, I hear one after another—
“Hello, sister-in-law!”
“Sister-in-law!”
Evie is stunned by the scene.
She almost instinctively tries to hide, but Alexander holds her tight, leaving her no escape.
She just keeps smiling and responds, “Hello, everyone!”
According to Owen, Evie’s presence at that moment was like a commander reviewing troops.
Evie stares at Owen with wide eyes, as if looking at a monster, and replies, “Is there something wrong with your eyes?”
Of course, that happened later.
Right now, Evie only feels her heart pounding, as if it wants to jump out of her throat.
Just then, someone mutters, “Doesn’t she look like a minor?”
The next second, K lets out a whoop, and everyone bursts into laughter.
Alexander holds Evie close and introduces those brothers to her one by one.
One of them, Gavin, a rough-looking man about the same height as Alexander, is the oldest among them.
He says to Evie straightforwardly, “Sister-in-law, I was a bit worried when we first met. Hope I didn’t scare you.”
Evie shakes her head and comforts him, “No, you’re very cute!”
The room falls silent for a moment, then erupts into laughter the next second.
After that, every time Gavin sees Evie, he always calls her “Cute Sister!”
It always makes Evie cringe.
After getting to know everyone, Evie doesn’t seem so nervous anymore.
Besides, apart from Lucas, she knows Owen, who she’s quite familiar with.
After they sit down around the table, Lucas asks the waiter to pass the menu to Evie and tells her to order more dishes.
Evie habitually looks at Alexander.
“Order what you like, don’t be polite!” Alexander says with a smile.
“Evie, you’re welcome!” Lucas also says.
“I won’t be polite!” Evie says with a smile.
So she looks at the menu and orders two dishes.
“Evie, how can you be so polite? Order more!” Gavin says with a smile.
“You all have some. If there’s too much, we won’t finish it, and it’ll be wasted!” Evie explains.
“Alex, you’ve found a wife who knows how to keep house!” Gavin says with emotion.
“Don’t be jealous. After all, marriage is something you can’t get!” Alexander calmly responds.
Evie almost chokes at the dinner table.
Alexander is not being modest at all!
Gavin laughs, hugs his girlfriend Laila, and says, “My Laila isn’t bad either!”
Laila says with a faint smile.
She knows very well that she’s not on the same level as Evie.
The topic soon shifts, and the dishes come up one after another.
Alexander starts showing off again.
He helps Evie with the dishes, picks out fish bones, peels shrimp shells, and only feeds her rice.
Seeing this, Gavin, Lucas, and the others almost drop their jaws.
And Owen has been immune to this kind of abuse for a long time.
No wonder.
“Are my eyes playing tricks on me?” Monday asks Owen in a low voice.
“No, it’s not the first time I’ve been abused! Just get used to it!” Owen says calmly.
“Have I seen this before?”
“When I came back to China more than half a month ago, I was beaten to pieces.”
“When did Alex become so gentle?” Monday mutters, almost doubting his eyes.
“It’s all thanks to Evie’s teaching!” Owen thinks of the time he went shopping with Evie and can’t help but want to vomit blood.
“Why didn’t you get any news before?”
“What’s a lightning marriage?”
“...”
Lucas later orders several bottles of wine.
They’re the only ones who can drink at noon.
But today, the drinkers don’t seem to mean to drink.
In the name of seeing Mrs. Sterling for the first time, they take turns toasting Alexander and his wife.
Alexander doesn’t refuse and generously accepts, just drinking himself while letting Evie drink fresh juice.
Gavin says it’s too insincere and insists Evie must have a drink.
Alexander calmly replies, “Evie, she can’t drink.”
“Alex, that’s not interesting enough. I’m toasting you as a couple, not just you alone! Cute sister, am I right?” The last sentence is said to Evie.
Evie almost chokes on her own saliva.
Does “Cute Sister” refer to her?
“Can I just drink a little?” Evie answers innocently.
“Of course! Cute sister!” Gavin says with a smile.
Evie cringes again and takes the baijiu from Gavin.
“Thank you, Brother Gavin. I also wish you happiness and an early child! Cough...” Gavin suddenly chokes.
But Owen almost can’t sit still.
Finally, it’s not him being abused.
“Cute sister, you’re welcome!” Gavin replies in embarrassment.
Evie takes a sip and feels thirsty. Besides, the wine seems very good, so she gulps down the whole glass.
“Alex, you said Cute sister can’t drink, but look, she’s more generous than you!” Gavin looks at Evie’s empty glass and pours her another.
“I really can’t drink!” Evie says awkwardly.
According to the seating order, it’s Owen’s turn.
“Evie, I’ll toast you too!” Owen says to Evie, raising his glass.
“It’s not the first time we’ve met!” Evie says awkwardly.
She thinks this is the rhythm of lovers meeting, especially the blush?
“It doesn’t matter. The second meeting makes us more familiar!” Owen says with a smile.
Evie turns to look at Alexander.
Alexander puts his hand on the back of Evie’s chair and says faintly, “Just do as you please!”
Evie nods and wants to put the glass down.
Owen immediately protests that Evie can’t be biased. Gavin toasted her for a drink, and he toasted her for a drop.
Evie suddenly cringes again, a bit embarrassed, but still picks up the glass and drinks.
She thinks she’s going to get drunk.
As a result, Evie is not only not drunk but also energetic. She eats up all the dishes Alexander helped her with and the shrimps he peeled, as if what she just drank wasn’t wine but coffee.
At this time, Alexander picks up his wine glass and responds clockwise.
And it’s not just one toast; it’s one-on-one toasts.
“Alex, is this the rhythm of you wanting to get revenge?” Lucas says with some tears and laughter.
“Everyone is happy. When it comes to revenge, it’s very important! I’ll drink it, and you’ll do it too!” Alexander replies humbly, drinking first for the toast.
Because just now, they had been drinking for a long time. The women they brought naturally couldn’t drink juice. They weren’t baijiu or red wine, but also a cup of dry.
Gavin now has some regrets.
Who among them doesn’t know that Alexander is a typical grudge-holder, and they have been punished by him since childhood.
At this moment, he dares to break the ground on his head. He’s so tired of living.
