Chapter 2806
"Yeah, they won't stay mad at you for long once they know that you're happy and doing well for yourself," June
chimed in.
After all, most parents had only one wish for their children - for them to be happy and successful.
"Yes, I will," Cherry nodded.
She knew her parents wanted nothing but the best for her, and she was willing to make concessions with everything
except for her relationship. Once she had set her mind to being committed to one particular, she would absolutely
not settle with others. Unlike other people, this was a compromise she would never make.
"Alright, here's to your happiness," Lulu said, raising her glass first.
"Thank you," Cherry responded, and lifted her glass as well.
Others then followed suit, toasting to Cherry and wishing her well for the years to come. But like every farewell
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇttoast, this one carried a tinge of sadness too, and the atmosphere soon became less festive.
After putting their glasses down, Cherry motioned for everyone to start digging in. While they were at it, Lulu
decided to lighten up the mood by coming up with topics for everyone to chat about.
"How about we play a game?" Lulu suggested after noticing how crestfallen everyone looked.
"What game?" June asked, her interest piqued.
"How about Truth or Dare? Those who fail to answer truthfully or perform the dare must drink," Lulu proposed.
Although farewells were melancholic by default, Cherry was leaving for the sake of her future and happiness. As
such, everyone should pipe down on the gloomy faces and offer their blessings to her instead.
"Okay, let's play Truth or Dare," everyone quickly agreed.
Lulu then grabbed a spoon and placed it on a small plate. She gently spun, causing it to spin until it stopped and
pointed at Samuel.
"Ah-ha, it's Samuel!" everyone exclaimed cheerfully. "Truth or dare. Come on, Samuel, pick one." "Fine, I'll pick
Truth," Samuel shrugged, following the rules.
Lulu's eyes twinkled as she suddenly turned to look in June's direction." Okay. Now spill the beans! When was your
first kiss with June?" "Lulu!" June instantly blushed and glared at her. "Samuel was the one who lost, not me."
June was sitting there, wondering if Lulu's question was a punishment for Samuel or her.
"Hahaha, I'm asking Samuel," Lulu remained unfazed, and began chortling even more loudly.
"Are you sure it won't come around to you later?" Samuel asked Lulu with his brows raised upon noticing that June
was not totally on board with him answering the question.
Lulu choked for a moment and instinctively turned to look at Spencer. Lulu's question might be a Pyrrhic victory,
and if she was not careful, what went around would come around.
"Alright then, let's change the question," Lulu backpedaled.
Everyone burst into laughter and continued the game. After a few spins, the spoon stopped and pointed at Tia's
general direction.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTia's face became red with nervousness at an instant.
”1-1’11 take the drink," she stuttered.
With that, she took her glass and emptied it in a single gulp.
"Hey!" Lulu stood up in an effort to stop Tia, but it was already too late by then. "Even if you admit defeat, you don't
have to drink so quickly. Be careful. You might get drunk."
Tia wiped the corners of her mouth and said, "It's okay." "Let's continue," Lulu spun the spoon again.
Something weird occurred soon after. Ever since Tia admitted defeat and drank for the first time, the spoon started
acting like it had been enchanted, consistently pointing at Tia whenever someone spun it. This left Tia with no
choice but to keep drinking.
"June, you should spin it," Lulu suggested.
She gave June the spoon, as she did not have the heart to keep making Tia drink. However, no matter who took
charge of the spoon, the result would always be the same: it would always stop at Tia. It had even become so
apparent that everyone began to exchange puzzled glances at what was happening.
"Erm, maybe you should choose Truth? I could ask you some simple questions, Tia," Lulu suggested.
She was afraid Tia would be inebriated if the game continued at the rate it was going.
