Chapter 194
Fuior byd narrowed his eyes as he had never felt this kind of atmosphere before. The woman’s sweet smile became his view, and her happiness directly affected him as he became very happy too.
Erica had caught Elliot looking at Anastasia a few times, and this made the former green with envy. So, she also intentionally laughed out loud, yet she failed to elicit a response from him.
Sitting off to the side, Alex carefully hid his love for Anastasia as he knew that Elliot also liked her very much, judging from the man’s gaze.
After singing, Francis got back to the table and immediately raised his glass to toast Elliot. “Young Master Elliot, I’ll toast you on behalf of me lacking as a host.”
Quickly, Elliot stood up to reciprocate his toast. “You’re too kind, Mr. Tillman.”
Upon seeing Francis down his glass entirely, Elliot, whose glass was also filled with beer, did the same and finished it too.

“Anastasia, quickly refill the president’s glass. Make it full,” said Francis.
However, Erica, who was beside them, had a bottle of red wine ready. “Let me pour it, Dad!”
Not in the mood to argue over this, Anastasia let the woman fill Elliot’s glass to the brim. Upon seeing that, Elliot frowned.
“President Presgrave, I’m a close friend of Francis. It’s rare to see such a capable young individual like yourself, so I would like to toast you too.” The man beside Francis stood up and raised his glass, his voice full of pride.
Standing up again, Elliot raised his glass half-heartedly, with the man adding, “I’ll finish my glass, but you can drink howevermuch you want.”
Since it was a close friend of Francis, he would also be considered a senior to Elliot. So, out of respect, the latter also finished his glass as well.
Seeing him drink two full glasses of alcohol made Anastasia immediately recall that he had a weak stomach, yet Erica was already refilling his glass yet again.
As Anastasia tugged on his sleeve, Elliot naturally leaned toward her.
“Don’t drink so much. You have a weak stomach, remember? You might just upset it again,” said Anastasia caringly.
A smile appeared in Elliot’s gaze when he heard that. “Miss-Tillman, are you worried about me right now?”
Looking at him, Anastasia then saw another senior beside her father had stood up, and her heart skipped a beat. Don’t tell me that every one of Dad’s friends is going to toast Elliot?!
Elliot came from a distinguished background. Meanwhile, these people were likely alcoholics from the looks of their beer bellies. In this kind of situation, it was customary to always toast the wealthiest around the table, as a person of stature was a respected person. Hence, Elliot became their target to toast to.
