Chapter 87
“Good. If you can’t handle your alcohol, then you should just drink less, Melanie remarked. She deliberately phrased her words that way.
Edward nodded in agreement and said nothing else since there was really nothing to explain. Although he drank a lot last night, he knew exactly who he
had kissed.
If Timothy and the others discovered this, they would mock him mercilessly. Being scolded for kissing his own wife was pretty pathetic.
“Are you going to the boutique later? I’ll take you”
Edward didn’t have much to do that day. Since he couldn’t stand staying home, he figured he might as well head out for a bit.
“I’m not going to the boutique yet. I need to go get my driver’s license first, so you should take me.”
Edward agreed, and the two of them left the courtyard. After picking up her license, Melanie admired it with delight. She could drive the used car herself
The next time she needed to go to the neighboring city to stock up on goods, she wouldn’t have to ask Julia to go anymore.
Now that Melanie got her license, Edward drove them to the boutique. As a grown man, he didn’t feel comfortable in the boutique, so he left after saying goodbye.
Julia couldn’t resist gossiping when she saw Melanie.
“Melanie, be honest with me. Did Edward drink too much yesterday? Timothy told me they were so bummed because Edward looked completely sober when he left, while they were the ones who drank too much.”
Melanie’s ears involuntarily turned red when she recalled last night’s av

“A little. He was a little drunk.”
“ob, did he throw up when he returned home?”
Under Julia’s inquisitive gaze, Melanie reluctantly said, “I didn’t see him throw up, but judging by how he looked, he was Julia bobbed her head. She admired Edward even more now. The fact that he was still fine after being forced to drink proved he was certainly a man worthy of serving the nation.

“Hey, you absolutely can’t tell anyone about this. If my dad finds out, he’ll kill me. I’m only telling you because we’re close friends.”
Sophie had no choice but to appeal to their friendship.
“Of course I won’t. We’re friends after all. I definitely won’t tell anyone. Tell me the whole story. How did I not notice?”
Sophie had been holding it in for too long. Thus, she decided to reveal everything since it was already out anyway.
As her friend listened, her mouth was agape in shock
“What the back? I’m speechless. Your family adopted her, so you’re all family. How can she have such thoughts about your brother? That’s so gross.” When her friend said this, Sophie nodded in agreement.
