Chapter 144 Always Thinking of Him
I gave him an apologetic smile. “Sorry, Uncle Frank. Dominic won’t be drinking. I’ll get him some juice later.”
Uncle Frank frowned. “I don’t blame you for not knowing your liquor, Lili, but this whiskey here is the good stuff. I specially bought it for this occasion. And you know it’s a family tradition for us men to toast each other at the family gathering.”
I tried to let Uncle Frank down easy. “I’m so sorry, but he really—”
Grandfather harrumphed loudly. “Lili, don’t coddle him. If he wants to drink, drink. If he doesn’t want to, he should say it himself rather than hiding behind his girlfriend.”
“Grandpa…” I pouted.
Dominic’s hand covered mine, taking it off the glass. “I’m fine.” He gave me a reassuring squeeze before addressing Uncle Frank. “I’ll have a glass, thank you.”
“Now we’re talking.” Pleased, the latter filled more than half the glass. “There you go.”
When Uncle Frank moved on to his next target, I elbowed Dominic in his ribs. “Did you forget about what happened the last time?” I hissed in annoyance. “We’re in the countryside. It’s a long way to a hospital if you get alcohol poisoning again.”
Although we did have the local doctor, a proper hospital would be quite out of the way.
Dominic’s expression was calm. “I know what I’m doing.”
As if! Internally, I was throwing my hands up in chagrin. If that were true, you wouldn’t have been hospitalized in the first place, nor would Benjamin and Yvonne tell me you’d nearly drunk yourself into an early grave.
Unable to resist, I pinched his leg under the table. “Just this one glass, okay?” I said warningly. “No seconds.”
He smirked. “Are you henpecking me?”
