Come With Me

Chapter 228 Blessing

When I arrived home, Rogelio hadn't come back yet, and even Nancy wasn't at home.

"Why do you come back alone?"

Looking at Rosie who was standing at the top of the stairs, I was quite surprised. "Why are you home today?"

Rosie shrugged her shoulders. "My friends dated, fell in love, and went shopping. Today, no one cares about me at the same time. Why didn't my brother come back with you?"

I also went upstairs. "An important client came to the company temporarily, so he didn't come back in time. He asked me to come back first."

Rosie nodded and leaned over to me when I got close to her. "Sister in law, have you told brother about my request?"

I shook my head honestly.

Rosie looked a little disappointed.

I said to her, "You should at least let me find a good time!"

Rosie leaned her head on my shoulder and said, "Sister in law, I count on you to lead a happy life."

"No, please don't put so much pressure on me. I still don't like Kim."

"Of course you don't like him. You have my brother. How can you like him! If you like him, I can't let you be with him, not to mention my brother!"

I couldn't help shaking my head. "You are really 'poisoned' by that guy."

"Didn't you get poisoned by my brother?"

I couldn't help but feel a little depressed, thinking of the scene I saw Robbie today.

"I'll take you to a place."

I followed Rosie downstairs. She took me to open the door of a room on the first floor. The room was very small and there was nothing special. But with Rosie, I saw a ring-shaped staircase extending down in the corner of the room.

Rosie touched a switch on the wall and the dim yellow light was on. A spacious basement appeared in front of me, and there were many bottles of wine in it.

"What's this?"

"My wine cellar. All the wine here are collected by my father. They are all good red wines which have been preserved for many years."

Her hand swept over the wine rack and her eyes were fixed on something.

"My father is the only one who likes to collect such things in my family. My two brothers don't like wine. Few people come here in usual."

Although I could guess something, I still asked, "Then why are you here today?"

Rosie smiled at me. "What do you think we can do here?"

Rosie stopped, took out a bottle of red wine and said to me, "This wine has been preserved for 82 years. Would you like to drink with me?"

"Why do you want to drink again?"

Rosie skillfully found a bottle opener, took out two red wine glasses and sat down in front of a small round table in the cellar.

She poured two glasses of wine and shook the glass gently. Looking at the red wine inside, she said, "It's really good wine."

Rosie pointed at another glass of wine and said, "Would you like to drink some? Even if you want to have a taste of good wine, it won't be a loss to you!"

Rosie raised her glass and said, "Come on, I wish you and my brother a long and happy life."

Looking at the glass of wine, I felt a little sad again.

Perhaps it was because of the influence of the people around me that I learned to drown my own sorrows in wine.

Without any hesitation, I walked up to her and sat down opposite her. Then I picked up the glass of wine and drank it all up.

Rosie looked at me and smiled. "You are good at drinking. If brother is here, you can drink together."

Rosie poured me another glass and said, "Come on, for this second glass, I wish I can win Kim's heart as soon as possible."

We cheered up and drank it together.

Rosie continued to pour the wine and picked up the glass. "What should we wish for the third glass?"

I said with a glass of wine in my hand, "We have all been blessed. Then I wish your brother Robbie can have happiness in the future."

Rosie agreed. "You're right. Let's toast to my brother. I hope he can find me a good sister-in-law as soon as possible, a woman like you who could drink with me."

After drinking three glasses of wine in a row, I felt a little dizzy, and there were more requirements for the wine. I didn't need Rosie to pour the wine, but took the bottle and poured it.

"Come on, let's respect all my past happiness and unhappiness, like and dislike. Let them be the past, and let me never think of them again. I want to be happy in the future. I will manage my marriage well in the future, and I want to be happy."

Rosie clinked her glass with mine and said, "Both of us must be happy."

I don't know how long Rosie and I had drunk. I can't remember what I said later. I just vaguely remember that Rosie and I were supported out of the cellar.

"Look at you two! Jasmine, as the eldest daughter-in-law of the Luo family, if you are seen like this by outsiders, it will disgrace our Luo family."

I couldn't open my eyes. The outline of Nancy was partly visible in front of me.

"Mom."

"Humph! How can you serve Rogelio well when you are drunk like this? How to carry on the family name?"

In a daze, I heard Rosie ask, "Sister in law, my brother has been lying on the bed for a year. Is he okay?"

At that time, I was not sober enough to answer. "How...How do I know...?"

I just felt a little headache and wanted to go back to bed.

But Nancy's face enlarged in front of me. "You haven't slept with Rogelio yet?"

I didn't remember whether I answered or nodded. I only remembered that Nancy raised her voice, as if she was unhappy to call Maria and asked her to bring me a bowl of sober-up soup.

The bitter taste was stranger than the medicine that Nancy gave me this morning.

"I don't want to drink it. It's so bad."

I tasted it and almost spit it out.

Nancy didn't let me go. Instead, she winked at Maria and other servants, and they pressed the soup into my mouth.

I struggled a few times in pain. The bitter taste, coupled with the pulling of several people, made me, who was not very sober, regain a lot of consciousness.

The blurry image was much clearer.

Rosie's face was also flushed. Seeing that Nancy had asked someone to force me to drink the medicine, she asked, "Mom, what are you doing?"

"Your sister-in-law is drunk. I'll give her some sober-up soup."

"I want it too, mom."

"You are a girl. You don't have to drink this kind of thing." Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Rosie snorted, "Mom, you are unfair."

Glancing at us, Nancy said to the man who was supporting us, "Send the two of them back to their rooms. Don't make me feel annoyed to see them here."

When I was held upstairs, I vaguely heard that Nancy said to Maria, "When Rogelio comes back, let him go to Jasmine's room to see her."
