Yes, she was a bystander’s perspective.
But what about the parties involved?
Carrie turned her head to look not far away, where Enrico stood against the wall, his ink-colored suit draped in light, one hand hanging naturally, the gauze on it stained red.
His face was slightly sideways, expressionless as he looked toward Paige’s position, his eyes so deep that one couldn’t guess what he was thinking.
He had maintained this posture for a long time, as if the entire celebration had nothing to do with him.
And Paige, on the other hand, bias to melt himself completely in this banquet, smile did not fall from the face ever, raise hands and feet between noble and a thousand daughters, a vintage pure white gown eye-catching dazzling.
These two people … seem to be in two worlds.
Carrie withdrew her eyes and sat down in silence.
When Paige sister so calmly informed them of her brother-in-law’s decision, they sensed that something was wrong, but they still secretly hoped that, after so many things, perhaps the two parties involved are really looking away, is really doing a good goodbye.
But now it seemed that it wasn’t at all.
“Huh?” A puzzled voice came.
The table looked up to see Paige walking over with a coquettish smile on her glass, she stood up behind Carrie and looked at them with a smile in her eyes, “Why aren’t any of you drinking?”
Carrie instantly smelled the strong odor of alcohol that had gotten on her.
“Why are all of you drooping, come on, let’s have a toast, thank you for accompanying me Paige on this journey.”
Paige smiled and raised the glass in her hand to the center.
Carrie stood up and tried to take the glass from her, “Sister Paige, you’ve had a lot to drink already, stop.”
“It’s okay, it’s a happy day.” Paige laughed and tucked her glass back down, saying what she had said I don’t know how many times tonight.
“Don’t be like that Sister Paige.” Off to the side Cynthia stood up as well and looked at her sadly, “You’ve always been a very sensible person.”
“I’m not sensible after a few drinks?” Paige smiled and looked over, her speech still clear, “Then you guys are underestimating me, I’m just happy to have a few more drinks, didn’t you hear what Uncle Artie just said, back then we couldn’t even eat rice on Wind Island, the good times we have now are unimaginable, so I’m really especially happy today.”
She wasn’t a person who liked to talk a lot, but tonight, she seemed to have a lot of words in particular.
So much that it was uncomfortable.
The table looked at her in silence and Carrie turned her face away, her eyes sour.
Rafael sat at the table with the group and turned back, Enrico still standing there in that same pose, eyes still falling on Paige’s but not stepping forward to offer a word of advice.
“Come on, raise your glass up and let’s toast.” Paige stood there and continued to persuade.
Peak Club a few slowly stood up, none of them wanting to drink this glass, Nick looked at Paige and suddenly said, “Sister Paige, the manor’s collection of cars is abundant, didn’t you also promise to let us pick our favorite car and drive a few laps over the tarmac, we can’t afford to drink and drive.”
Hearing this, everyone nodded their heads, “Yeah, yeah.”
Paige thought for a moment, “Yeah, well, why don’t we head over there now?”
“Ah …”
The group was confused, they just didn’t want her to drink.
“Come on, I’ll take you guys to pick out a car.”
Paige dryly set aside her glass of wine and turned on her heel, her steps slightly askew.
Carrie and Cynthia looked at each other, Sister Paige was afraid she was already drunk.
Paige’s feet stumbled, she lowered her eyes, only to feel the hem of her white dress like a wave of water slowly fainting, turning into a lake, she fell into it.
Her wrist was suddenly held.
The lake disappeared.
Stunned, she slowly raised her face, only to see Enrico, who hadn’t intervened all night, standing in front of her, gazing into her eyes.
“Paige, you’re drunk.” He said.
Paige looked at him and smiled brightly, “No, I’m not drunk.”
“You shouldn’t drink so much.” He said.
“Alcohol is good.” Paige said with a smile, suddenly tiptoeing up to his ear, her voice soft but her emotions exaggerated, “Really, my heart doesn’t hurt so much anymore.”
“…”
Enrico’s body stiffened, his palms like ice.
When she finished, Paige took his arm and walked forward in a mushy manner, “Come on, Enrico, let’s go together.”
“…”
Enrico was almost forcibly yanked forward by her.
…
The night wind was cool and crisp on the sprawling tarmac of the estate, with rows of streetlights hitting the ground.
Hearing that Enrico had brought out the hidden cars, the guests at the banquet were excited and left the banquet to follow them to the tarmac.
The cars were driven out one by one and parked at the side, parked in four rows, a glance could not see the end.
None of them were of the same style.
All of them are high-tech cars, antique cars, limited edition cars … that can be called collectibles, and the array is countless times bigger than that of an automobile show.
Lights sprinkled over, the crowd was shocked by the scene in front of them, today came to The Gustin family’s villa manor, completely came to see a long time.
Some of the cars they have seen in the pictures on the Internet, not the high-definition version.
So many of them went forward, weaving in and out of the vehicles to admire them, letting out a stream of emotions.
The wind outside was a little chilly, and Paige stood there scrunched up in her thin gown, her head spinning.
A man’s suit fell over her shoulder, shielding her from the wind.
She cocked her head at the tall man beside her and smiled, “Thanks.”
Enrico looked at her in silence, reaching up to gather the lapels of her coat for her, looking down at her, his voice low, “Remember I owe you a present?”
“What?” Paige looked at him, bewildered as a child.
Suddenly, the lights on the tarmac dimmed and darkness fell under the canopy of stars.
“…”
Paige turned her head a little confused and looked out into the silent blackness.
Suddenly, lights flickered on and off in the darkness.
It was the taillights of a car.
Like a pair of cat’s eyes, soulful and well-behaved, they flickered beautifully into the night.
Then there was a great commotion, and a thousand lights slanting over all struck the center, illuminating it as bright as day.
Under the ten thousand lights, a convertible sports car was quietly parked there.
The body lines are smooth, the design is avant-garde and high-end, the car paint is special ice berry powder, the body is as fine as the starry sky, glittering, just one glance can make people’s teenage heart burst.
One more glance at the car label, instantly countless inverted breath sound came.
“Isn’t this the highest-end brand under the name of the Gustin Group consortium?”
“Not only, the car designed by this brand is never limited, either exclusive design, general point of rich people can not buy.”
“This color … Mr. Gustin is giving it to Paige, right?”
“This is also too good at giving, which woman can block such a gift.”
Everyone looked toward Paige in unison.
Paige stood by Enrico’s side, a pair of somewhat misty eyes staring fixedly at the sports car in a myriad of lights, a certain memory automatically jumping into her somewhat blank head at the moment.
