“Now you do.” The man smiled and extended the glass of wine.

“Thank you.” Emmeline took the glass out of courtesy. He should be someone from the Ryker family, I guess?

“You are very pretty,” the man said with a smile. “You caught my attention as soon as you entered the door. A toast to your charms.”

The man lifted his wine glass and took a sip, and Emmeline had no choice but to follow suit.

“Your three children look so outstanding. I’m very envious,” the man said.

“Heheh, thanks!” She was happy whenever someone praised her children.

“A toast to your three outstanding children.”

Emmeline did not refuse the toast and took another mouthful of wine.

“The way you defended yourself and your children earlier was admirable. That deserves another toast,” the man said with a smile.

Emmeline frowned slightly. Is he here just to make me drink? But what he said makes sense too. Another glass of red wine won’t hurt, would it?

Emmeline downed another mouthful of wine.
