Chapter 119
After I entered the restaurant, I had already taken off my coat.
Maxwell looked at Stephanie, who was wearing long sleeves and long pants. Even though the style didn’t show her figure, he could still tell she had lost a lot of weight.
And she was afraid of the cold.
He handed the hot soup to her and said, “Eat some more.”
This meal was over pretty quickly.
Raul asked around, but he didn’t find out anything.
Other people were too.
“Buzz buzz…” Maxwell’s phone vibrated, and it was a call from Leonard.
Maxwell turned around to answer the phone.
At this moment, Estrella came up to Stephanie again.
Estrella took a glass of white wine from the tray of a nearby waiter and handed it to Stephanie.
“Not giving me face?” Estrella asked.
Stephanie didn’t say anything, reached out to take it, smelled it, and it really was some pretty good white wine.
So, she took a small sip.
DOO

“Try it again, I brought it back from Groena.” Estrella said with meaning, “Private collection, very expensive.”
She said. “And it was really meaningful.”
Stephanie looked up at Estrella.
“Relax, I didn’t add anything,” Estrella said with a smile. “Max’s here, I’m not that dumb.”
She looked at Stephanie and said softly, “I just wanted to see if you could taste what’s special about this wine.”
Stephanie frowned a little, and she tasted it again.
But even so, she didn’t find anything more special about it besides the quality and so on.
“Sorry,” Stephanie said softly.
But Estrella just smiled.
“So you really didn’t know anything,” Estrella said.
Stephanie was totally confused
Just like Estrella’s behavior today, it was weird for no reason.
“You told me, I understood.” Stephanie said.
Estrella just shook her head.
Just raised my hand and let her taste the wine again.
I saw I had already finished a glass.
Stephanie waved her hand. “I still have to go see Grandpa later, so I can’t drink anymore.

“Alright.” Estrella nodded.
She said. “After a while I’ll hold a wine tasting as my welcome–back party, so you and Max should come together.”
Stephanie thought for a moment, nodded, the cooling–off period wasn’t over yet, she needed to show up at this kind of event.
At this moment, Maxwell also finished his call and came back.
He grabbed a coat from the side and put it on Stephanie, then nodded slightly to Estrella, and the two of them finally left together.
The wind on the lake was strong at night.
Stephanie shrank back.
Just finished drinking, then got some wind, Stephanie felt a little dizzy.
“Grandma just called and said grandpa already fell asleep, so we couldn’t see them today. She told us to stay for the night and go see them tomorrow morning.”
Maxwell’s voice came from beside her ear, and Stephanie nodded. blankly.
Her feet felt a bit unsteady, and she wobbled a little.
The next moment, Maxwell held her steady.
The warmth of his body came through his clothes, and his strong and wrapped around her waist.
Stephanie stood firm and reached out to push Maxwell away.
She was just a bit dizzy, not really drunk.

Was
It was quiet all the way.
