Chapter 918: Uncle, Don’t Be Afraid, Fight Back

The group returned to the wedding hall, where the ceremony was nearing its conclusion.

Tina, curious and restless, wandered over to the table where champagne was being served. She picked up a glass, determined to take just a tiny sip. She didn't believe that such a small amount could cause her to get drunk. Tall pyramids of champagne glasses were arranged in at least ten layers. Suddenly, one of the structures collapsed, sending the champagne tumbling toward Tina.

Just as she was about to leap out of the way, a pair of cool hands gently wrapped around her, pulling her to safety.

The flood of champagne cascaded behind her, the sound of the glasses shattering filling the air, and the sweet aroma of champagne wafting all around.

Tina glanced up and noticed the man who had rescued her. His hands had already withdrawn the moment she was safe. He stepped back, his amber eyes shimmering with a soft glow. A warm smile tugged at his lips as he nodded politely to her before quickly disappearing without saying a word.

Tina blinked, her thoughts lingering on the man. He was as strikingly handsome as Uncle Jared, and she found herself staring at his retreating figure in silent contemplation.

Just then, a pair of strong arms encircled her waist, lifting her effortlessly. Tina didn't cry out in surprise. Instead, her bright eyes sparkled with mischief as she looked at Jared. His sharp jawline was tense, his entire demeanor radiating a cool and distant energy.

He carried her outside the wedding hall to a spot where a swing was set up. Gently, he placed her down on the swing.

The breeze lifted Tina's curls, her delicate features glowing with a radiant smile.

Her voice was soft yet playful as she teased, "I wasn't staring at him on purpose. He saved me-I had no choice but to look at him."

Jared's eyes remained calm, his voice cold. "But after he left, you still kept staring at his back."

Tina blinked, her long lashes fluttering like butterfly wings. She hadn't thought of a good explanation yet when Jared's large, calloused hand cupped her face. Without warning, he kissed her fiercely, his passion overwhelming and dominant. His tongue delved into hers, claiming her completely.
