She arched an eyebrow slightly and smiled. "The seat is for you. You're welcome."
Seeing her smiling, I didn't want to ruin this warm and lively scene.
So, I just bit back the words.
Deliberately ignoring the people around me, I directed my attention to the food.
Suddenly, I heard a lot of cheering.
I looked over and saw three glasses of wine in front of Oliver.
He calmly took one of the glasses and drank it all in one gulp.
The people around him began to tease us again.
"Oliver will easily get drunk if he continues drinking like this. Amelia, talk to him."
"Yeah, Amelia, Oliver only listens to you."
Hearing their words, I pressed my lips, remaining silent.
I realized that today's party was not only a celebration of Kelly's birthday but also an opportunity for Oliver and me to reconcile.
I felt Oliver's gaze on me.
Seeing my silence, he continued drinking.
This could be considered a disguised form of surrender.
However, I remained indifferent.
I was unusually calm.
The people who were hyping us up began to sense something was wrong, and their voices gradually subsided.
Kelly came over and asked quietly, "Are you really not going to persuade him to stop?"
