When Mick and his group came to toast, they didnât toast everyone at the table. They only toasted the one with the deepest background at the table, and then raised their glasses to the others at the table.
In just two or three minutes, they were done with the table.
Watching Mick and his group walk towards another table, Clarissa couldnât help muttering, âWhat kind of toast is this? Itâs so short.â
She had been daydreaming about drinking with Mick, but her dream was shattered.
âLower your voice!â Francis quickly whispered to his daughter, afraid that her words would be heard by others and cause criticism.
âI didnât say anything wrong,â Clarissa muttered, âIsnât it customary to toast each person at the table?â
âDonât forget who they are,â Francis said. If it werenât for their business dealings with the Reed familyâs company, they wouldnât have been invited to this wedding. âBesides, if they really toasted each person at the table, with so many people at the wedding, when would they finish?â
âBut Iâ¦â Clarissa bit her lip and looked towards Mick again, the words stuck in her throat.
But how could Francis, as a father, not see through his daughterâs thoughts? âDonât be too proud, my dear. Some people are just for looking, not for getting.â
Clarissaâs face suddenly turned red. Her fatherâs words seemed to have seen through all her thoughts, making her feel embarrassed.
Can I only look at it?
Clarissa lowered her eyes, her gaze flickering. So what if she had a high status? It didnât mean that Mick couldnât be interested in her!
Besides, she could feel that when Mick came to their table, his gaze lingered on her for a while!
So maybe Mick was also interested in her!
Thinking of this, Clarissa felt secretly dissatisfied. She felt that her father underestimated her. Why couldnât she get a man like Mick?!
As long as she could seize the opportunity, she would naturally have a chance to get such a man!
After the toast, Mick could finally take a break.
As the best man, he was deeply exhausted at the moment.
If his own wedding was going to be this tiring in the future, he would rather keep it simple!
But this thought passed through his mind and he laughed at himself.
What was he thinking! He was actually thinking about his future wedding.
In the future⦠would he have a wedding? Would he even have a woman he wanted to spend his life with?
He had a younger brother and sister. Mason was already married, and Jasper and William had good relationships. Even if he remained unmarried for his whole life, there would still be someone to inherit everything from the Reed family. He didnât have to worry about being forced into marriage.
Moreover, given the familyâs atmosphere, even if he really had no interest in women for his whole life, his parents wouldnât force him to do anything.
But inexplicably, at this moment, Nancyâs face flashed through his mind.
Just then, a figure stumbled towards him and collided with him. When he caught a glimpse of the figure from the corner of his eye and tried to avoid it, he only managed to dodge the personâs body, but not the drink in their hand.
Suddenly, some of the drink spilled onto Mickâs suit.
The black suit didnât show the drink stains too much, but the white shirt underneath now had a light yellow stain because of the drink.
