Chapter 866 Rosetta Tags Along

“Of course, I’ll drink!” Kingsley replied before clinking glasses with Benjamin. With that, the latter placed his wine glass down and gestured for everyone to start tucking into their meal.

Just as they were enjoying the food, Aaron finally turned up. “Oh! Everyone’s here!” he exclaimed, albeit rather sheepishly. “I’m the latest, aren’t I?”

“Not at all! We’ve only just started. Come on in!” Kingsley greeted warmly. Aaron promptly did as instructed, and only then did the group see who he had brought along.

“Hi, guys!” Rosetta said cheerily. Needless to say, everyone was shocked, especially since they thought Aaron would show up with his wife. No one had expected to see Rosetta instead.

Kingsley’s smile quickly faded as he glared at Aaron. The latter, on the other hand, looked utterly helpless. While Shaun and the rest nodded politely in response, Benjamin ignored the woman and turned his attention to Aaron.

“Take a seat, Aaron. We’ve only just begun!” As a glint flashed across her eyes, Arissa hurriedly chimed in, “Yes, please join us! We’ve only just started eating.”

“Thank you, Arissa!” Aaron replied smilingly before sitting with Shaun and the others. Rosetta followed suit and was about to take the empty seat beside Benjamin when Ethen jumped up from his.

“Here, Ms. Adams. You can have my seat!” After giving up his seat so Rosetta could sit with Aaron, Ethen quickly plopped himself down next to Benjamin.

The smile on Rosetta’s face froze for a moment, but it wasn’t long before she recomposed herself and nodded cheerfully. “Sure!”
