Fearing that Kris Cooper might drink again, she hurriedly picked up some shrimp.

She originally intended to place it on Kris Cooper’s plate, but unexpectedly, he lowered his head and leaned his mouth directly toward it.

This childish guy!

Isn’t it obvious that he’s trying to show off their affection in front of Nathan Leafcastle?

Vera found it both amusing and helpless, so she could only raise her chopsticks and carefully deliver it to his mouth.

Men love their dignity, and she couldn’t embarrass him, especially not in front of Nathan Leafcastle, or else this prideful guy would definitely be unhappy.

Chewing on the shrimp fed to him by Vera, Kris Cooper stretched his arm across the back of her chair, lazily leaning back against it.

"Honey, I want more!"

Vera gave him a sideways glance but still reached out with her chopsticks to get him another shrimp.

Kris Cooper leaned back into his chair to receive it, his amber eyes seemingly unintentionally glancing over to the hillside not far away, catching Nathan Leafcastle’s expression in the corner of his eye.

Opposite them, Nathan Leafcastle watched them deliberately show off their affection, trying his best to appear calm.

"Nathan, you should eat something, too!"

Sally Dalton also noticed Kris Cooper’s behavior and understood in her heart that he was angry at Nathan Leafcastle, and it wasn’t easy to comment on it.

After all, when your man gets involved in a scandal with someone else’s wife, any man would be angry, it’s only human nature.

After giving Nathan Leafcastle some food, Sally Dalton took a bottle of wine and poured more for the group, then she picked up her small glass and stood up.

"This glass is for Mr. Cooper and Vera, sincerely sorry about the news from before."

Vera stood up somewhat flustered, "Miss Dalton, you’re too polite, it wasn’t really Brother Nathan’s fault. In fact, I should be the one apologizing... Brother Nathan, I... I’m sorry."

She didn’t explain further, but everyone understood, she was referring to the matter with Liliana Davis.

Kris Cooper seemed indifferent, in his view, Liliana Davis deserved it.

Nathan Leafcastle caught the expression in his eyes, growing more resentful inside, but he stood up from his chair, looking calmly at Vera.

"The past... let’s not bring it up again, you... endured a lot too."

"Yes, yes!" Sally Dalton chimed in quickly, "Let’s forget about the past and start anew. Come on, let’s toast and say, as you Nicosans say, let’s turn the page on past events, alright?"

Vera turned her face to look at Kris Cooper, and the other two also set their gazes on him.

Kris Cooper didn’t move from his chair.

"Kris."

Vera softly called his name, only then did he straighten up, raised the wine glass toward the three, and downed it in one gulp.

Then, he showed the bottom of his glass to Nathan Leafcastle, who raised his own glass to his lips and also drank it in one go.

"Wonderful." Sally Dalton smiled, "Now let’s eat!"

"Yes, yes, sit down and eat a bit, the two of you have had so much to drink, eat something so you won’t upset your stomachs." Vera added with a smile.

The four of them sat back down, and Sally Dalton took the initiative to ask about Kris and Vera’s childhood stories. Vera started sharing amusing childhood anecdotes, and even Nathan Leafcastle, who rarely joined in, chimed in with a few remarks, smiling occasionally.

Kris Cooper leaned back against his chair, lazily picking at the food now and then, looking somewhat grudgingly.

Vera shared a very amusing incident, and both Sally Dalton and Nathan Leafcastle burst into laughter, even Kris Cooper chuckled softly.
