Chapter 140 Play Poker

Triston had just received a stern lecture from Branden, and he was finally behaving himself. Now Triston sat obediently beside Aidan. He kept sneaking glances in the direction of Branden.

Triston looked at Branden with curiosity. But he didn’t dare to size up Branden openly. He could only steal glances cautiously.

Although Triston had known for a while that Branden had taken an interest in Catherine, he hadn’t expected Branden to take action so swiftly.

In Triston’s view, Catherine looked incredibly youthful. Branden was quite audacious. Aidan noticed that Triston wasn’t touching his drink. Triston just sat there and gritted his teeth. Aidan found it oddly amusing.

Aidan poured two glasses of whiskey and handed one to Triston.

“Mr. Lambert, have a drink.”

Triston glanced down at the glass and realized it was whiskey. He instantly felt a bit nauseous. “Take it away. I don’t drink this stuff.”

Seeing his reaction, Aidan felt curious and couldn’t help but tease him. He asked playfully, “Oh, look who’s refusing a drink now? Mr. Duncan gave us a big surprise today. Did it inspire you to quit drinking, Mr. Lambert?”
