But in front of everyone, how could she ask?
Wouldn't that just cause discomfort for herself?
She endured for so long, pretending nothing happened, only to have it ruined by Emerie.
Damn Emerie!
"Emerie, try this, the juice is quite nice," Benjamin quickly offered Emerie a glass of juice, mindful of her heart condition, as she never touched alcohol.
"Sure." Emerie wasn't aware of any issue with what she just said, happily taking a sip, "It really is quite tasty."
Such innocent words almost made Ophelia grind her teeth in frustration.
How old is Emerie now, can't she be a bit more sensible?
Does she still think naivety is cute?
This is called stupidity!
Benjamin was trying to smooth things over, but those around them had heard Emerie's words, dealing with her was manageable, but what about James?
Ophelia glanced anxiously at James, internally resenting Emerie for causing trouble for him.
