Her eyes met his in a silent plea.
Brian remained nonchalant, holding wine with his left hand while his right hand soothingly massaged her leg.
His poised demeanor exuded the refinement of a gentleman, skillfully concealing his discreet actions under the table.
A blush spread across Rosalynn’s cheeks as she pinched his hand, urging him to cease his movements.
A smile tugged at Brian’s lips as he clinked glasses with Calvert.
“When did Barlow come?”
“About a month ago.” lhy did he come here?”
“To visit me.”

Brian harbored a grudge against Barlow.
She was in trouble due to Calvert.

Calvert was so inebriated that his eyes glazed over and his speech slurred.
Brian appeared his usual self, but anyone who knew him well could tell he was on the verge of drunkenness.
“Enough, you can’t drink anymore. Let’s get you some rice.”
Rosalynn cleared away the wine bottles, intending to serve the men bowls of rice.
“No, I’m not hungry. Rosalynn, I need to sleep off the drink.”
Calvert, surprisingly coherent, belched and attempted to stand up.
Rosalynn hurriedly supported him. “Are you sure you don’t want some rice?”
“Yes, but I could do with another drink.”
