Namon noticed Trisha immediately and the smirk on his face widened. Mission accomplished. As soon as their eyes met, Trisha huffed and turned on her heel, walking away with an air of disdain. Namon smiled to himself, proud of his success in making her jealous.

Turning back to Amelia, he noticed her gaze lingering on the glasses of wine everyone seemed to be holding except her. She looked a little out of place clutching her hands awkwardly. Not wanting her to feel excluded, Namon grabbed a crimson-colored drink from a waiter and handed it to her.

"Sister in law. Here try this" he said cheerfully.

Amelia took the glass unaware it contained alcohol. Also Namon had no idea that she doesn't drink. Assuming it was some kind of mocktail, she hesitated at first but took a small sip. The taste was strange slightly bitter but there was something pleasant about it as well. Before she knew it she'd gulped it down in one go.

"Sister-in-law, don't drink it all at once-" Namon started to warn but it was too late. She had already finished the glass.

"It was... fine" Amelia said her timid tone replaced by something more carefree "Is there any more?"

Namon blinked in surprise. "More? Uh... yeah, but are you okay, Sister-in-law? Have you drank before-"

"I want that one!" Amelia interrupted, pointing enthusiastically at another glass of wine a waiter was carrying. Without hesitation the waiter handed it to her and before Namon could stop her she downed it just as quickly.

"W-wait, Sister-in-law-" he stammered, reaching out as if to take the glass from her, but she was already beaming at him, her cheeks flushed and eyes sparkling.

Amelia had a silly grin spreading across her face. She giggled softly to herself, her usual shy demeanor vanishing entirely. The alcohol had worked its way into her system much faster than Namon could have ever anticipated.

"Mr. Namon..." she began, narrowing her eyes as if deep in thought. "Sorry, What's your last name again?"

"Ryan" he said as he blinked his eyes

"Rin" she repeated, nodding as if she'd gotten it right

"It's Ryan, Namon Ryan" He corrected.

"Okay!" She nodded hearing his name properly

Amelia leaned closer to him still main a distance and whispering enough to let him hear "Thank you for the dessert! You are soooooo nice!"

Namon gulped. "Uh, thanks... but, Sister-in-law, maybe we should sit down? You know, take a little break?"

"You are sweet just like that Dessert, far sweeter than Edward, i meant in behaviour not taste okay? Understood?" She giggled at her own words "shhh, Dont tell this to your bestfriend or else he will eat me" she put her fingers on her lips

Namon's jaw dropped as he looked at her drunk sister in law. He glanced around, nervous that Edward might show up at any moment. "Oh no" he muttered under his breath.

Ignoring him completely she grabbed another glass from a nearby table, this time not even hesitating to take a sip. Her cheeks were now fully crimson, matching the color of the drink. He tried to stop and grab the wine glass but couldn't as all he got was an empty glass.

Namon's heart raced as he can't figure out how to handle the situation. "Sister-in-law, please- if your devil husband see this, then I'm dead! Come on i am not even married!" he whispered urgently.

"Don't worry you will get marry brother in law" Amelia just laughed, carefree and completely unbothered by the tension.

Namon was panicking, his hands fidgeting as he muttered to himself. "What do I do now? If I even touch her, Edward will kill me. If I don't do anything... Edward will still kill me"
