"Hold up!"
Ellinor immediately stopped her.
The red wine Patricia was about to drink halted at her lips, and she asked in surprise, "What's up, Ellinor?"
Ellinor seemed a bit worried, "I remember Ms. Howard has a cold constitution; why are you drinking iced wine? You could have this room temperature juice with me that Mrs. Howard prepared especially for us."
Patricia laughed awkwardly, "Ellinor, you stick to your juice. I want to toast you, so how can I replace wine with juice? This cold constitution is an old problem of mine; having a bit of wine occasionally is no big deal."
Ellinor disagreed, "You toast me with wine, and I respond with juice, which might seem insincere. How about we both don’t drink?"
After saying so, Ellinor was about to put down the juice in her hand.
After seeing this, Xenia and Patricia became extremely anxious.
If Ellinor didn't drink the juice, wouldn't their efforts be wasted?
Finding such a good opportunity again would not be easy.
Patricia forced a smile, "I think you make a good point. Ellinor, I'll join you in drinking juice then! Mom, pour me a glass of juice too; I want to thank Ellinor for saving Grandpa's life."
Xenia was taken aback, she didn't expect her daughter to make such a decision.
This juice was mixed with a large amount of saffron, it was harmful to a girl’s health.
Ellinor smiled, "Now I can comfortably toast with Ms. Howard. Mrs. Howard, why haven't you poured Ms. Howard a glass of juice yet?"
