Evelyn felt extremely embarrassed and quickly came up with an excuse, "The art exhibition just started in the morning, and I was required to be present everywhere, so I couldn't free myself for a moment..."

Most people, upon hearing this, would understand and give some face.

Susie, however, broke the silence and asked, "Wait a minute, didn't you just say that having old friends is important?"

Evelyn: "..."

She was choked and couldn't say a word.

That damn kid... If it weren't for Martin's sake...

Susie, on the other hand, asked again, "Evelyn, which statement of yours is true after all?"

Evelyn suddenly felt her throat blocked and her chest hurting.

This child must have done it on purpose, definitely!

When a child is over six years old, it is the most annoying time. At this age, children already know some things, but they pretend to be innocent and attack others.

Taking advantage of their age advantage, they made others feel awkward in every situation.

Evelyn could only look at Zachariah and said with a grievance, "Teacher, I..."

Zachariah waved his hand before she could speak, "It's okay, you don't have to be busy."

Evelyn: "..."

Wow, doesn't this imply directly agreeing with Susie's words, saying she's hypocritical?

Evelyn felt instantly aggrieved, especially with Martin present.

Susie did not ask any further questions. The fickle ghost looked at her, unable to determine whether Susie's arrival was intentional or unintentional for a moment.

The fickle ghost returned to Soul Calabash with this question and told it to the other ghosts.

The coward ghost smiled, "Of course, baby, it was unintentional. Who could be more innocent than our Susie?"

The fickle ghost secretly muttered to himself: "I believe you, my foot!"

The infatuated ghost smiled kindly and said, "This may not necessarily be the case. However, it is not necessarily a bad thing either."

Being consistently naive and making no progress, that is called stupidity.

The infatuated ghost believed that Susie had a kind heart, but when the little girl became stingy... well, it's hard to say!

"Sesame glutinous rice balls are quite good," the infatuated ghost inexplicably added.

The unlucky ghost: "What? Where?"

The ghosts: "..."

This unfortunate situation was somewhat foolish.

Outside Soul Calabash.

The dishes on the table had already been served. Susie had developed a habit of eating seriously since she was young, and she no longer got distracted while eating.

Martin and Ryan were chatting casually with Zachariah and Adrian, while Jinny focused on serving food to Susie, occasionally perking up her ears to listen to a few sentences.

Evelyn, on the other hand, was completely left out of the conversation. She didn't know if everyone was doing it on purpose, even the teacher didn't pay much attention to her.

Evelyn instantly felt a sourness in her heart.

She used to be the center of attention in any occasion in the past, but now she feels like she is invisible.

Evelyn forced herself to be energetic and picked up a glass of wine as she stood up. "Mr. Murray, thank you for hosting my teacher and giving him a chance to relax. My teacher is feeling unwell and cannot drink, so I would like to raise this glass of wine to you on his behalf!"

Martin glanced at her with indifference, the wine glass sitting on his right hand side, seemingly without any intention of picking it up.

Evelyn looked at Martin earnestly, holding the wine glass stubbornly in her hand.

She believed that no matter how aloof Martin was, he would not disrespect her teacher.

Martin lowered his gaze, and from a social etiquette perspective, it was indeed not good to refuse Evelyn's toast, after all, she was toasting on behalf of Zachariah.

He raised his hand, and his slender fingers just touched the wine glass.

Jinny suddenly leaned over and brushed past Martin's chest, picking up the glass of wine.

"Damn it!" She raised her glass and downed it in one gulp.

After finishing a glass, Jinny smacked her lips and poured herself another glass, bowing to Zachariah, "I'm thirsty!"

After finishing, he seamlessly straightened his bent body and then tilted his head back, taking a gulp.

The crowd: "....?"

Too suddenly, Evelyn was dumbfounded.

She was still immersed in the jealousy of Jinny just being posted into Martin's arms.

Jinny finished her drink and noticed that Evelyn hadn't touched hers yet.

"Cheers!" she stared at the glass in Evelyn's hand.

Ryan smiled slightly and said to Evelyn, "My brother drove here, and he will have to drive back later, so it's inconvenient to drink."

"I originally intended to substitute for my brother, but I also drove here."

So, Evelyn toasted to Zachariah, and his sister-in-law drank on behalf of his brother. No problem, right?

Evelyn's smile on her face almost froze, but she quickly regained her composure and exclaimed, "The affection between Mrs. Murray and Mr. Murray is truly admirable! I didn't realize it earlier, I'm really sorry..."

She discreetly glanced at the glass in Jinny's hand.

The general meaning is, this cup just now doesn't count, let's start over.

At this moment, Evelyn had such a thought in her mind: "Jinny, this fool, if I get her drunk, will she make a fool of herself at the table?"

Just as I was thinking that, I saw Jinny pour herself another glass and raise it up, saying, "Cheers!"

After saying that, he tilted his head back and took a gulp.

Martin: "..."

This little fool definitely didn't act like this because of Evelyn's provocation.

It was even less likely due to jealousy.

It was definitely because I thought the wine was delicious.

Martin couldn't say what mood he was in for a moment...
