Chapter 652 Susan Drinks with Theodore

Oscar and Hannah went back to the sitting room hand in hand, while Susan walked in front of them, and began murmuring when she saw the over-jubilant decorations. She teased it all but somehow, it didn't sound annoying. She babbled on and on and walked over to the garden. The lights in the garden looked brighter at night.

Susan was frozen when she came to the dining table. She hadn't expected Theodore would be here, let alone Manuel. She thought Hannah would turn down everyone else since she had said no to her. She thought Hannah would spend the night with Oscar alone.

Susan looked back at Hannah furiously. Both Theodore and Manuel were invited, but she was ruled out. She wondered if she was still Hannah's best friend. She felt abandoned and hurt.

Hannah could see Susan was mad but she'd got nothing to speak for herself. She had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "Take a seat, Susan."

Susan stood still, hit the ceiling and gnashed, "Hannah, we're not best friends any more, are we?"

"Nonsense! Of course, we're best friends!" said Hannah immediately.

"Then why did you turn me down but invite them?" Susan was deeply hurt.

Theodore cut in while Hannah was about to explain, "Hell, don't you know the reason yourself?"

Susan stared at him ferociously.

"Didn't you see that? Manuel is here!" said Theodore deliberately.

Manuel, who was bending over the table, had sat up. He glanced at Theodore, pursed his lips and said nothing.

"So what?" Susan got pissed.

"Don't you know what you've done?"

"It's no big deal. We just broke up..."

"It was a divorce." Theodore corrected.

Susan gritted her teeth.

"Fine. It was just a divorce. No fuss about it. It's not the end of the world. We should move on."

"Yeah. Right. It was only a divorce to you, but to Manuel..."

"Theodore," Manuel interrupted, "enough. Things between me and Susan were not as bad as you thought."

Susan looked at Manuel and knew he was stepping in for the rescue but she felt bad to hear his very indifferent voice.

At the time, Hannah stepped forward to smooth things out, "Susan, take a seat. See? Theodore is drinking alone. You came just in time."

"No need. Thanks! I'm good."

"Are you afraid that I'm gonna knock you out?" said Susan. Susan wasn't mean or petty. Sometimes, she had a big heart and she wouldn't split hairs. She wouldn't stay mad for long. Hearing it, Theodore was provoked, "Are you kidding me? Think of it! You've been wasted every time you drank with me!"

"Not this time!" Susan sat down across from Theodore, "You'll be stoned this time! I'll win!"

"Funny!" Theodore picked up the wine glass, "Bring it on!"

Saying it, he handed a wine glass to Susan and the two of them began drinking. One second ago, they were still teasing and fighting each other. Right now, they were like drinking buddies. Hannah looked at them and giggled, "Jesus! They are very much alike!"

Oscar glimpsed at them and agreed.

"Theodore is very different from you and Manuel." Hannah looked him up and down and thought Theodore was supposed to be maturer.

"Don't be fooled by his playfulness. He can handle it well when something is up."

Hannah thought of it and couldn't agree more. She turned to Theodore for help whenever she was in trouble and he had never let her down. Indeed, one couldn't judge a book by its cover. Susan was as restless as Theodore, but she was far less capable. Hannah sighed softly, wondering when Susan could finally grow mature.

Theodore and Susan were drinking and laughing and arguing at the dining table. They had made themselves the focus of the night. The rest three of them had been used to it and just let them have it their way.

It was getting late at night. Oscar went back to the room with Hannah, leaving the three of them in the garden. Manuel watched them leave and looked kind of desperate. Theodore and Susan were drinking, while he was sitting beside them, restrained. He checked the time and thought it was time to go since the host and the hostess had also left.

"Where are you going?" Theodore stopped him when he stood up.

Susan seemed to have glimpsed at him but she took her eyes off him the next second and looked away on purpose.

"Home." Said Manuel calmly.

"What about me? Aren't you gonna wait for me?" Theodore said unbelievably and looked like he was shocked to be left behind.

"You are having fun, right?"

"So? You still have to stay with me. Or, Susan and I... Well, you are going to stay and see who is going to win!" Theodore said seriously.

Manuel was speechless.

"You are not going anywhere!" Theodore insisted.

Manuel had been used to be bullied by Theodore since he was little. He was the youngest among them and Theodore didn't have the balls to mess up with Oscar. So, he became the doormat. Manuel stayed, watching them drinking. He thought they were ruining their health by drinking like a fish, and guessed it wouldn't be over until one of them was down.

Manuel couldn't take it any more. He took over their wine glasses and said, "OK. So much for it!"

"No! Susan isn't drunk yet!"

"I won't be drunk!" Susan stood up and looked like she was going to knock him out.

"Nonsense!" Theodore taunted, "I'll knock some sense into you, so you'll know your position!"

Saying it, Theodore grabbed the wine glass and tossed it off. Susan didn't chicken out. She reached out to take over the glass but Manuel took it away when she just touched it.

"What are you doing?" said Susan angrily.

"Time to go home." Said Manuel coldly.

"I'm not leaving til Theodore gets drunk and admits his defeat."

"Enough now." Said Manuel seriously.

"Who are you to make the call? Who the hell do you think you are to me!" Susan burped and stared at Manuel. Her eyes were misty but she still put on the airs.

"I'm nobody to you." Said Manuel calmly. He was a little mad at Susan's attitude but he wasn't emotionally attached to her. He put on a straight face and said, "I'll call Henry to pick you up."
