/ Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot Chapter 1468
Chapter 1468: 365: Seeking Your Own Death! _1 Chapter 1468: 365: Seeking Your Own Death! _1 Flora nodded with a smile, “Mom, you go busy yourself.”
Upon hearing this, Grace looked at Flora, instructing, “You take care of Norma.”
They were all daughters of her late husband's friends who came to celebrate her birthday, so she felt she must show some hospitality.
“Understood.”
After Grace left, Flora continued, “Miss Augus, since you know Vio, I won't go into too much detail. This is Vio's good friend, Diana Hershey, Diana as in the moon goddess, and Hershey as in the candy. And this is another one of Vio's friends, Fiona Knight, Fiona as in a flower, and Knight as in nobility.”
After she finished speaking, Flora paused for a moment, her gaze fell on Mr. White, “This is my uncle.”
'This is my uncle?'
Such a simple introduction?
Norma slightly knit her brows.
It seemed that Flora wasn't very tactful. She introduced Viola's friends in such detail, but glossed over the main character.
Norma raised a polite smile, greeted several people in turn, “Miss Hershey, Miss Knight, hello, I am Norma Augus. You can call me by my name directly.”
Diana Hershey and Fiona Knight shook hands with her, exchanging pleasantries.
Norma then turned to Mr. White, “Hello, Mr. White.”
“Hello.” Mr. White nodded at her.
They were originally playing a guessing game quite well, but the sudden addition of a person brought about a bit of awkwardness.
Flora continued, “Let's carry on with the guessing game. Whoever loses has to drink liquor.”
After speaking, Flora looked at Norma, “Miss Augus, would you like to join in?”
Norma nodded, “Alright.”
Of course, she wouldn't want to miss this opportunity to interact with Mr. White.
Flora continued, “Miss Augus, do you know how to play? Let me briefly explain the rules to you.”
In fact, Flora was not very fond of Norma.
But she couldn't show it.
A guest is a guest.
Moreover, Norma was the daughter of her late father's friend.
“Thank you, Flora.” Norma acted gracefully.
Flora briefly explained the rules.
“Understand? If you don't understand, you can ask me directly.”
Norma nodded, “Mm.”
If she couldn't even understand such simple rules, how would Mr. White see her in a new light?
“Let's get started then.”
The group began the guessing game.
“Ladies hello, three stars in row, four joyous wealthies, five top talents, six smooth successes, seven skilled talents…”
“Hahahaha! Vio, you lost! Drink up!”
Seeing that Viola made the wrong move, everyone was delighted.
Especially Diana.
Heaven knows, she had already drunk eight cups!
Viola picked up a cup from the side, drained the fruit wine in it, and after drinking, she turned to Flora, “Flora, this isn't strong, is it?”
Her last drunken experience had left her a bit traumatized.
“Not strong, it's only ten degrees.”
“That's good.”
Viola could handle her liquor pretty well, as long as it wasn't more than forty-five degrees, it wasn't a problem.
It seemed.
Only those who lost the guessing game had attention and the right to speak.
Norma narrowed her eyes.
The next round of guessing, unsurprisingly, Norma lost.
“Miss Augus, as a newcomer, maybe we can disregard this first drink?” Flora suggested.
Norma lifted her cup with a smile, “Since I've joined the game, I should respect the rules, but I don't usually drink, can I substitute it with tea?”
A girl who would drink freely in public was not considered good.
Especially in the presence of men.
If she were to lift her cup and drink heartily, it would be rather frivolous.
Norma was not such a frivolous girl.
She wasn't Viola either, who after drinking, still made a fuss asking about the alcohol content.
She found it utterly pointless!
Flora nodded, “Of course.”
Norma put down her wine glass, raised her teacup, and finished it all at once. After emptying the tea, she poured herself another cup of water and said, “I offer this cup of tea to everyone, I'm very glad to meet you all.”
The group lifted their cups together.
After their cups were put down, they resumed the guessing game.
The second round, Diana lost again!
But luckily it was just fruit wine, it didn't go to her head.
Norma knew she couldn't keep losing. As she played the game, she kept stealing glances at Mr. White.
The mature allure of a 32-year-old man was irresistible.
Many men over thirty had somewhat oily faces.
So, they were often referred to as middle-aged greasy men.
