Chapter 149 Kate’s Crying
With that, Kate gulped down the wine and looked at Nathan. Pretending to be nonchalant, she said with
a smile, “Don’t forget to drink your own glass of wine as well.”
Nathan replied, “Of course, I’m not afraid of it.”
Upon finishing his words, he picked up the glass and gulped down the wine.
Before they could eat anything, Kate continued, “Olivia, don’t you want to drink with our new friend?”
Olivia understood that Kate was just trying to forget her sadness by consuming alcohol. At that instant,
she didn’t want the latter to put herself in a difficult situation or make her face the harsh reality.
As the owner of the house, no matter how much she disliked Melanie, she had to remain polite. Lifting
her glass, she proposed, “Come on. Since this is our first meeting, we definitely have to drink together.
I’ll drink this glass of wine for both of you. Miss Hopper, are you okay with a soft drink?”
“Sure, Olivia. Just call me Mel,” Melanie said as she picked up the glass from the table.

Finishing the wine as well, Nathan gazed at Kate and said, “Why did you come up with an excuse when
you just wanted to consume alcohol? No one will carry you on the back and send you home later.”
Laughing, Kate replied, “Stop spouting nonsense. You never carried me on your back before. Your
words might make your girlfriend misunderstand.”
Gazing at Kate, Olivia felt helpless. Kate might appear to be alright, but she must be utterly
heartbroken at the moment.
Thoughtless, Nathan replied, “Why do you refuse to admit it? When that jerk cheated on you some time
ago, you drank lots of wine and became wasted. I carried you on my back and sent you home.”
“I dumped him, okay?” Kate refuted.
Relentless, Nathan pursued, “Just say whether it happened.”
“I don’t remember it.”
Turning to Olivia, Nathan questioned, “Olivia, it happened, right?”
Smiling faintly, Olivia replied, “Both of you, stop it. Why do you talk about this topic in front of your
girlfriend? Aren’t you afraid that she’ll be jealous?”
Hearing that, Melanie magnanimously waved her hands.” It’s fine. I know that both of you are Nate’s
best friends.”
The dinner lasted for two hours as they kept drinking wine and did nothing else.
Two bottles of white wine were finished by three people. As light drinkers, Nathan and Kate became
intoxicated.
While Kate was lying on the table, Nathan managed to get up and said goodbye. Although he also
drank on behalf of Melanie, he could drink much more than Kate, so he appeared to be okay.
“I’ll take my leave. Olivia, please take care of Kate and make sure she’s alright.”
Olivia glared at him. “Just take care of yourself.”
Smiling, Nathan gazed at Melanie and said, “With Mel here, I’ll be alright.”

With that, he draped his arms around Melanie’s shoulders and tottered out of the house.
The moment the door was closed, Olivia felt as though she had been drained of all her energy. Maybe
she shouldn’t have made that call, otherwise things wouldn’t have come to such a point.
Walking up to the dinner table, she inquired, “Katie, how are you? Are you really drunk?”
“Have they left?”
With a flushed face, Kate wasn’t completely intoxicated yet.
“A girlfriend he’s only known for more than ten days has become as important as we are. Olivia, it
seems that you aren’t so important in his heart.”
Upset, Olivia hugged her and said, “You did a good job just now, as you didn’t embarrass yourself.
There’s no outsider now. Just cry all you want.”
Kate was smiling, but her eyes uncontrollably welled up. Raising her hand to wipe off her tears, she
replied, “Why should I cry? It’s a good thing, so there’s no reason for me to cry.”
Despite what she said, her tears streamed down her cheeks as she forced herself to smile.
Standing on the side, Olivia consoled, “Katie, stop it. Just cry it out if you’re upset.”
