Chapter 52 Safety

“If you’re anxious, sit closer to me, Darling. I don’t mind,” Finnegan offered.

After the couple entered the bar, they picked the most secluded table in the venue. It was clearly Bernice’s first time in a bar because she was sitting stiffly, looking as though she didn’t fit in with the surrounding.

“I mind because I’m worried you’ll take advantage of me.” Despite her words, she still inched closer to Finnegan.

However, he didn’t tease her about it. Instead, he wrapped one arm around her waist while. using the other to pour her a gla*s of wine. “Come, let’s toast.”

Bernice lifted the gla*s with a grin. “Be honest, Meanie. Are you trying to make me drunk?”

As the saying goes, one must be bold and meticulous when chasing after a woman! While I’ve never fallen in love before, I understand what that sentence means. In response, he nodded honestly. “I was thinking about that. Once you’re drunk, I’ll carry you to a hotel and make you a mother in ten months.”

She thought Finnegan would pretend to be at least a little gentlemanly.

To her surprise, he replied honestly, which amused her as she snickered.

It was evident Bernice wasn’t upset by Finnegan’s statement or thought he had a bad character.

Blushing, she toasted with him and spoke in a tiny voice. “While I won’t say no to intimate acts, I won’t give you what you want until that night, Meanie. This is my bottom line, so don’t try to force it to happen!”

She sounded as though she had spent all her courage near the end of her sentence before. emptying her gla*s in one go.

Finnegan smiled. “So, you’re saying I can do anything with you except for that one thing?”

“I didn’t say that. Just drink your wine.”.

After laughing, he emptied his gla*s, too.

The two were amid an emotional upswing, thanks to the atmosphere and the stimulation from the alcohol.
