When She Stops Playing Nice

Chapter 356

“No,” Gabriel replied without hesitation.

His response made Ethan feel awkward. Ethan smiled coldly and said, “Alright, that’s fine.”

Neil said, “Ethan has his own successful career. That is something to celebrate!”

Neil glanced at Isaac, signaling him to bring a few bottles of good wine.

Isaac quickly complied. Just as Neil was about to pour himself a small glass for a sip, Gabriel interrupted and said, “Dad, have you forgotten? Gina instructed you not to drink while you’re recovering.”

Neil, craving a drink, replied, “Just a small glass would not hurt.”

Gabriel frowned and reminded him, “Dad, just because Gina isn’t here doesn’t mean you can indulge and ignore her advice.”

Neil, who was eager to have a taste, tried to ignore Gabriel’s words, but Gabriel took out his phone, ready to call Gina.

“Stop, stop, alright, I won’t drink. You all can have some,” Neil said, feeling a bit wronged. He did not want to bother Gina over such a minor issue, especially since she was handling important matters abroad. He did not want Gina, who was far away in another country, to worry about his health.

Displeased by the interaction, Harry found it absurd that Gina could still affect their family dinner even when she was not present. He thought of her as a persistent nuisance, like a lingering ghost.

He remarked, “It’s just a small drink. Is it really necessary to be so strict? Isn’t that also bad for his health if it makes my brother unhappy?”

“Between alcohol and a bad mood, Gina knows which one affects health more,” Gabriel retorted sharply, not showing mer towards Harry.

Harry’s expression darkened, and he felt a surge of anger.

“Alright, alright, let’s not argue over this. I should not be drinking now anyway. I’ll wait until I’m fully recovered. I shoul listen to Gina. Otherwise, I won’t be able to drink at Gabriel and Gina’s wedding, which would be a real regret!” Neil said he felt overjoyed at the thought of Gabriel and Gina’s wedding. As he grew older, he cherished such hopes.

‘A wedding?

‘It’s not certain that woman will even get into the Jackson family, Harry thought to himself.

Not wanting his moment of glory overshadowed, Ethan started discussing his efforts on the project with Neil, which helped the latter part of the meal pass without further disputes.

However, Gabriel seemed a bit distracted. He was wondering what Gina was doing far away in Mosnioca.
