Keegan took the glass and sampled the wine before downing the rest. He casually picked up a tissue and wiped his lips. Felicity observed as the tissue slowly soaked wet before Keegan disposed of it.
“Not bad,” Keegan commented.
Jaylene finished her drink with a bright smile on her face,” The groom really loves wine. He personally chose the drinks for this banquet. Each table has a different selection of wine, but they all taste exceptional.”
She gestured for a waiter and ordered another drink,” Keegan, do you want to try this one? It’s a fruit wine but packs more punch in terms of alcohol content. It also has a richer aroma.”
Keegan accepted it. He sniffed and said softly, “It’s very fragrant. I can smell the fruit.”
Jaylene smiled, “It’s my favorite.”
After a brief pause, Keegan raised the glass and finished it in one go. He sipped some water and remarked, “The taste is a bit bitter. It’s not as impressive as the previous two.”
Jaylene chuckled. “That’s because you downed it too quickly. Fruit wine should be slowly savored,” she said and demonstrated to Keegan.
Uninterested in Jaylene’s theatrics, Felicity stood on her tiptoes and glanced at Keegan’s glass.
As expected, it was half full just a moment ago, but the wine somehow increased despite him taking a sip earlier.
‘Did he spit the wine back into the glass?’ thought Felicity. She was sure Stella must have taught Keegan how to avoid alcohol.

“Ms. Saun, don’t just cater to Keegan. I like drinking too. Why don’t you give me some suggestions?” Vermont playfully said.
Jaylene smiled faintly, “Given your active presence in the business realm and your wide circle of acquaintances, I’m sure you’ve tried a variety of wines. I wouldn’t want to suggest something you’re already familiar with, Mr. Snyder.”
“Well, I never get to savor the taste when drinking during business. Despite looking like I drink a lot, I don’t know much about wine.”
He then pulled Felicity over and continued, “My girlfriend also doesn’t know much about it either. You might as well recommend us a few drinks that couples normally choose.”
Felicity’s eyebrows twitched. She glared at him, her gaze saying, “Who said I’m your girlfriend?”
Vermont held her waist tightly, signaling her to play along.
Jaylene glanced at Felicity and chuckled, “Your taste is indeed… unique, Mr.
Snyder.”
She had only seen Felicity a few times, mostly when Stella was present.
She knew about her relationship with Stella but did not understand why they were still friends after the Sauns announced Stella’s return.
From Jaylene’s perspective, Felicity lacked the standard feminine traits. She was impolite and spoke crudely. ‘How does someone as ordinary as her have the confidence to mingle in our circle?’ Naturally, Jaylene disliked Felicity, i
