Everyone had been pushing Nathan to drink all night long, but he had been indifferent to it. Now, he


    was standing in for M and drinking.


    Everyone apuded and cheered enthusiastically. They found it more exciting than watching


    M drink.


    “Whoa, what’s happening?”


    They changed their strategy and followed what Cameron had done. One after the other, they went to


    toast M. She didn’t know how to refuse and relied on Nathan to take care of the


    drinks.


    Fenna was bbergasted. Grabbing Nathan’s hand, Fenna said, “Nate, you’ve got to stop drinking.


    Everybody was asking her to drink, and she didn’t ask you to help her.


    M sat there, watching as Nathan’s cheeks turned red from the drinking. She had never been. to a


    gathering like this before and had no idea how to handle it.


    Cameron pulled Fenna aside with augh. “Fenna, leave Nate alone. He rarely drinks these days. The


    last time was such a long time ago”


    Someone elseughed. “Yes, that’s true.”


    “That’s enough.” Nathan put down the ss and scowled at Cameron.


    Cameron smirked. “What? I’m not asking you to drink. I’m drinking with Wanda.”


    He handed another ss of wine to M and said, “Wanda, you’re something else! You’re the first


    person to push Nate over his limit. Impressive. I must toast you for it.”

    After downing his wine, Cameron handed another ss of wine directly to M.


    Nathan reached out and blocked the wine. Cameron pushed further, and M’s lips met the back of


    Nathan’s hand. She shrank back in embarrassment.


    Nathan took the wine away and stared at Cameron. He emphasized each word, “She doesn’t


    drink.”


    “It’s only one ss. She’s not going to get drunk.” Cameronughed and patted Nathan on the


    shoulder. “Even if she did, you’d still b


    here, wouldn’t you?”


    Nathan finished thest drink. He put the ss down and pulled M to her feet. “You guys carry on. I’ll


    take her home first.”


    All of them were trying to convince him to stay. just got here. Why take her home so early?”


    “She hasn’t eaten or even drunk anything yet. Why are you taking her home?”


    “Let her stay. Stay-”


    Fenna stood up, gave M a displeased look, and interrupted, “Nate, let me send her home.”


    “It’s okay. We’re leaving now,” Nathan said as he led M out.


    Cameron seemed helpless. “We haven’t even begun. Are you guys really on your way?”


    M followed Nathan out in a hurry. Her eyes were fixed on Nathan’s hand that was holding hers. His


    hand looked particrly good, and a warm feeling filled M’s heart.


    “Nate, I can get a taxi on my own. You should go back to your friends,” M said.


    “I’m not going back.” Nathan’s voice was gentle and low.


    Looking around, M realized he was leading her toward the estate.
