Chapter 1500: It’s Okay If You Get Drunk

When the atmosphere in the restaurant was unusually silent, Isla Lane returned after finishing a call with Benjamin Shaw, but she did not sit back in her original seat; she stood not far from the dining table.

"Uncle! Aunt! Something suddenly came up at home, so Charlotte and I will be leaving now. Sorry for disturbing you today." After speaking to Sophia Wood and Christopher Turner, Isla Lane turned her gaze to Charlotte Shaw and said, "We’re leaving."

As she spoke, she subtly gave her a glance.

Even if Isla Lane hadn’t signaled her, Charlotte Shaw would have stood up cooperatively because she realized a new situation had occurred when she heard her mother’s exclamation earlier.

"Uncle! Aunt! I’ll leave with my mom, and I’ll visit you another day." After finishing her greetings, Charlotte Shaw stood up and, as she left her seat, didn’t forget to say goodbye to Alice Turner and Thomas Fisher, "Alice! Thomas! I’m leaving, you all stay."

With that, she left her seat and walked towards her mother.

"Have your meal before you leave."

Seeing Isla Lane and Charlotte Shaw about to leave, Sophia Wood hurriedly stood up, leaving her seat to follow and persuade them to stay.

Alice Turner also wanted to get up to persuade them to stay, but Thomas Fisher held her hand tightly, not giving her the chance, even her dissatisfied sideways glance couldn’t change his mind.

"Let’s have a meal together another day. Something really came up today." Isla Lane waved her hand at Sophia Wood, who was catching up to persuade them to stay, indicating she should not come closer.

"In that case, I won’t insist." Sophia Wood was actually just being polite, and since the mother and daughter wanted to leave, she couldn’t exactly force them to stay.

Sitting in her seat, Alice Turner wasn’t indifferent either. She waved goodbye to the mother and daughter who were about to leave, "Goodbye, Charlotte! Aunt!"

"Goodbye, Alice!"

"Goodbye, Alice!"

Hearing Alice Turner bid them farewell, Isla Lane and Charlotte Shaw waved goodbye in good spirits.

Seeing the good interaction among the three, Thomas Fisher’s expression was not so pleasant; he watched the mother and daughter walking out of the restaurant with indifference.

Christopher Turner noticed Thomas Fisher’s unhappiness. To divert Thomas’s attention, he picked up the wine bottle to pour him a drink, "Thomas! Have another drink with Uncle."

Before the words were finished, he had already filled the glass with wine.

"Okay."

Hearing Christopher Turner talk to him, Thomas Fisher withdrew his gaze from the restaurant door, tilted his head to look at his father-in-law. In that moment, his expression brightened up.

Thomas Fisher happily drank with his father-in-law, as if he had forgotten what had just happened, immersed in joy.

"Alice! Have a drink with Uncle too."

Suddenly a glass of wine appeared in front of her, pulling Alice Turner out of her daze; she frowned and pushed away the glass, held by Thomas Fisher in front of her, "I won’t drink."

This fellow! It’s intentional.

Before Alice Turner could take a breath, Thomas Fisher brought the glass of wine to her again, "There are no outsiders now, it’s okay for us to have a drink ourselves. Besides, it’s fine if you get drunk, we’re at home anyway."

He pushed the glass of wine closer to her lips, making his intention for her to drink quite obvious.

"I still have things to do tonight, so I can’t drink." Alice Turner decisively pushed the glass away once again.
