Triplets’ Mighty Mom

Chapter 149 Kate’s Crying With that
Kate gulped down the wine and looked at Landon. Pretending to be nonchalant, she said with a smile, “Don’t forget to drink your own glass of wine as well.” Landon replied, “Of course, I’m not afraid of it.” Upon finishing his words, he picked up the glass and gulped down the wine. Before they could eat anything, Kate continued, “Camila, don’t you want to drink with our new friend?” Camila understood that Kate was just trying to forget her sadness by consuming alcohol. At that instant, she didn’t want the latter to put herself in a difficult situation or make her face the harsh reality.
As the owner of the house, no matter how much she disliked Melanie, she had to remain polite. Lifting her glass, she proposed, “Come on. Since this is our first meeting, we definitely have to drink together. I’ll drink this glass of wine for both of you. Miss Hopper, are you okay with a soft drink?” “Sure, Camila. Just call me Mel,” Melanie said as she picked up the glass from the table.

Lifting her glass, Kate said, “I will drink with you guys.” With that, she finished the wine in the glass. Finishing the wine as well, Landon gazed at Kate and said, “Why did you come up with an excuse when you just wanted to consume alcohol? No one will carry you on the back and send you home later.”
Laughing, Kate replied; “Stop spouting nonsense. You never carried me on your back before. Your words might make your girlfriend misunderstand.” Gazing at Kate, Camila felt helpless. Kate might appear to be alright, but she must be utterly heartbroken at the moment.
Thoughtless, Landon replied, “Why do you refuse to admit it? When that jerk cheated on you some time ago, you drank lots of wine and became wasted. I carried you on my back and sent you home.” “I dumped him, okay?” Kate refuted. Relentless, Landon pursued, “Just say whether it happened.” “I don’t remember it.” Turning to Camila, Landon questioned, “Camila, it happened, right?” Smiling faintly, Camila replied, “Both of you, stop it. Why do you talk about this topic in front of your girlfriend? Aren’t you afraid that she’ll be jealous?”
Hearing that, Melanie magnanimously waved her hands.” It’s fine. I know that both of you are Landon’s best friends.” The dinner lasted for two hours as they kept drinking wine and did nothing else. Two bottles of white wine were finished by three people. As light drinkers, Landon and Kate became intoxicated. While Kate was lying on the table, Landon managed to get up and said goodbye. Although he also drank on behalf of Melanie, he could drink much more than Kate, so he appeared to be okay. “I’ll take my leave. Camila, please take care of Kate and make sure she’s alright.” Camila glared at him. “Just take care of yourself.” Smiling, Landon gazed at Melanie and said, “With Mel here, I’ll be alright.” With that, he draped his arms around Melanie’s shoulders and tottered out of the house.
The moment the door was closed, Camila felt as though she had been drained of all her energy. Maybe she shouldn’t have made that call, otherwise things wouldn’t have come to such a point.
