Chapter 764 You Must Have Three Drinks

Caroline nodded. “Okay, I’ll text Neil.”

Neil swiftly texted her back.

Nell: [Got it, Carol. But I’ll be late.]

Caroline: [it’s okay. I’ll help you give him a present too.]

Neil: [Okay.]

After shopping for a long while in the shopping mall, Caroline and the others finally picked a few gifts that were relatively more useful for Scott.

Scott arrived at Angelbay Hotel early in the evening. After ordering their dishes, he waited at the hotel’s entrance.

Approximately ten minutes later, he spotted Caroline’s car.

Scott approached and greeted them. As Caroline and the others emerged from the car, they each congratulated Scott.

However, Paige avoided making eye contact with him. She offered a stiff smile and little else.

Observing Paige’s unusual behavior, Scott walked over and smiled. It seems like something’s bothering you today, Paige. Are you feeling tired due to your pregnancy, perhaps?”

Paige turned her gaze elsewhere and replied, “No…”

After a moment’s thought, Scott asked, “Is it because of that expression I put on the other day?”

Confused, Paige looked at him. “No, Scott. You genuinely looked frightening!”

“I apologize,” Scott said awkwardly, “I didn’t mean to scare you.”

Scott’s usual smile gradually eased Paige’s concern.

Paige chuckled and teased, “I might reconsider our friendship If you make that scary face again! It’s the look of a villain“”

Scott nodded and assured, “Certainly.”

Paige’s emotions quickly shifted, and she could even exchange playful banter with Scott.

Upon entering the private room, Scott presented two bottles of red wine he had prepared. “Do you fancy a drink tonight, Kenny?”

Kenny’s eyes lit up. “Hell, Scott! It’s been ages since we had a drink together! Can you really drink tonight?”

Smiling, Scott replied, “Yes, I’ve informed the hospital not to contact me, even in emergencies.”

Excitedly, Kenny helped uncork a bottle of wine. “Fantastic! Let’s make it a memorable night!”

He then turned to Caroline. “Would you like some too, G?”

Caroline smiled and agreed, “Of course, 111 have Paige’s share as well.”

Paige licked her lips, staring at the red wine. “I want some too…”

“No, you can’t,” Caroline, Kenny, and Scott said in unison.

Paige desperately lay her head on the table, venting her frustration. “This is unfair! You guys get to drink, but I can’t!”

Caroline tried to console Paige. “Once you’ve given birth and stopped breastfeeding, well gather again for a drink, alright?”

“Will that day ever come? Paige looked at Caroline with a pitiful expression, and Caroline nodded. “Yes. I’m certain it will.”

“Great!”

Kenny poured wine for Caroline while Scott ordered a glass of juice for Paige from the waiter.

Paige rose excitedly, her baby bump evident. “Today is a happy day for Scott. Il raise a toast to you with juice and congratulate you on your promotion to director! May you prosper and save more patients

Caroline and Kenny stood up to congratulate Scott as well.

Scott, holding his glass of wine, smiled and joined in the toast. “Thank you, guys.”

Caroline added, “May our friendship endure!” Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

Kenny chimed in. “Indeed! Let’s be friends forever!”

Paige echoed their sentiments. “We’ll stay together forever!”

However, Scott merely smiled, saying nothing as he clinked glasses with them. But he briefly fixed a complex gaze on Caroline before leaning back to finish his wine.

Afterward, he downed it in one gulp.

Neil arrived during the meal.

Observing Neil, Kenny stood up somewhat unsteadily. “You’re late, Neil! You owe us three glasses of wine!
