NovelEnglishWas he not afraid at all? As soon as the whiskey hit the table, Adler downed it in one gulp. Seeing Adler's flustered and panicked state, Odie scoffed from across the table, "Coward." "What? Who are you calling a coward!" Adler suddenly mustered up his courage, pointing at Odie. "Don't think just because you've known Colby longer that I won't punch you! I'm telling you, I'm Colby's best man!" "Who cares about competing with you for Colby? Punch me, I dare you." "You!" Just as Adler was about to make a move, Angelo, fearing trouble, quickly stepped in. "Today is Colby and Sophie's big day, don't cause a scene!" he pleaded.
"... You're right." Adler suddenly felt wronged. "Colby's finally tied the knot, and here I am, still single! How is that fair!" Seeing Adler feeling sorry for himself, Angelo didn't know what to say to comfort him, so he just patted Adler on the back. But that was a mistake. With a pat, Adler vomited all over.

"Ugh!" Angelo, who always hated foul smells, felt his whole body go clammy and nearly retched. "Adler! What are you doing!" Angelo pushed Adler away disdainfully. What kind of people are Colby and Sophie surrounded by? A bunch of oddballs gathered together! "I'm sorry... really sorry!" Adler was somewhat unsteady on his feet, while Odie looked at Adler and Angelo, silently rolling his eyes.
Except for that old man, what a bunch of fools! "Here they come! The bride and groom are coming to toast!" someone shouted.
Everyone looked towards the corner, only to see Colby and Sophie had changed into their toast attire and began to toast the guests. Naturally, the first stop was the main table. Sophie saw the vomit on Angelo and then glanced at Adler, whose face was flushed from drinking. She immediately understood what had happened but didn't point it out, acting as if she hadn't seen anything. Together with Colby, they kneeled to offer tea to Grandfather Lennon.
"Grandpa, please have stea," Sophie said, handing the teacup to Lennon.
Lennon, seeing his beautiful granddaughter-in-law, was overjoyed and immediately accepted the teacup. However, when his gaze felt up on Colby Lennon's expression turned stern. "From now on, you must do everything in your power to treat Sophie well. The Russell family may be no more, but Sophie is now a part of our Costello family. You can't mistreat her, and you can't let others do so either, understand?" "I will protect Sophie with my all and treat her well for a lifetime," Colby promised.

satisfaction. Just when Sophie thought the grandfather and grandson had a harmonious om relationship, Lennon suddenly patted Colby on the shoulder. "Go and toast. If you don't toast at least a hundred tables, you're not a true Costello man!" Sophie twitched her mouth. Truly a grandfather who dotes on his grandson.
Odie leaned back in his chair, casually pouring himself a glass of vodka. Colby shouldn't this drink be one you both toast to me?" he said.
Adler chimed in from the side, "Odie, don't be shameless. If it wasn't for you, they would have married a long tago!"
