Chapter 501
That glass must have been at least 300 ml, and Steven almost filled it up for him.
Liam’s alcohol tolerance was poor. While others enjoyed drinking, Liam was simply suffering
When he finished the glass, his first reaction was to grab the cup and drink water, almost finishing half of it.
Celeste was speechless.
Sometimes she didn’t know whether to call Liam stupid or dumb. If he couldn’t drink, he shouldn’t force himself. He could have just spat the alcohol into the cup while drinking water, and no one would notice.
He didn’t even know how to be sneaky.
Celeste didn’t know that Liam had never needed to escape from drinking in his environment.
Celeste, on the other hand, was a bit of a drinking expert.
During college, she could drink half of the male students in her class under the table, not only because she had a good alcohol tolerance but also because she was good at deception.
Like drinking while spilling, pretending to drink water to spit out alcohol, carrying a super–absorbent handkerchief to wipe her mouth and spit alcohol, and so on.
She had thought of all the ways to avoid getting drunk. There was no such thing as never getting drunk in this world. If you didn’t get drunk, it was because you didn’t drink much.
She had never seen anyone like Liam who drank alcohol so honestly.
Steven had a good alcohol tolerance, so he didn’t chug it down either. When he saw Liam finish, he filled his glass again.
“It’s been a few years, and you still have a great capacity. Let’s have another glass.”
Hiram, who rarely had someone to drink with, wanted to pour himself another glass too.
But before he could touch the bottle, Janis said, “You’re joining Steven in this nonsense. You haven’t even eaten a bite yet, and you’ve already started drinking? Are we inviting Ms. Campbell to dinner or to watch you three drink?”
Hiram reluctantly looked at the glass of alcohol and had to put it down, “Steven, let’s eat first and drink while we eat.”
Clair also said. “Brother, Liams alcohol tolerance is average. Don’t tease him anymore.”
Celeste was surprised and looked at Clair.
Only those close to Liam knew that he couldn’t handle alcohol well. How did Clair know that?
Just as she was about to think more about it, she felt that she was being nosy. It wasnt any of her business how Clair knew.
Since his family members were all persuading him, Steven gave up.
Celeste glanced at Liam, whose ears were already slightly red, but his face wasn’t. He still looked normal.
Hiram was very talkative and was very fond of Steven and Clair. The siblings were both respectful and affectionate toward him, creating a family atmosphere that was truly enviable.
Perhaps because she had saved Clair, Hiram seemed particularly gentle with Celeste, asking her about her family and her work from time to time. The way he addressed her also changed from the initial Ms. Campbell to Celeste.
“Celeste, come on, try this shrimp.”
Hiram handed a plate of peeled shrimp to Celeste, “Eat more.”
Usually, he wouldn’t be so caring to young people, even with Clair and Steven, he never treated them this well. But somehow, today, he just wanted to feed this girl.
Celeste was flattered, took it with both hands, and whispered, “Thank you, Mr. Garcia.”
Liam frowned and looked at the plate of shrimp, “She likes to suck on the shrimp shells.”
Celeste was speechless.
