Aria's POV
Aiden tore open the wrapper and popped the candy into his mouth.
He turned to look at me sitting beside him. "Not sweet enough. Bit sour."
"Oh?" I was caught off guard. "But it's clearly very sweet."
He didn't respond, instead fixing his gaze on the wine glass in my hand. "Not drinking?"
Following his line of sight, I realized I had only taken a small sip—the glass was still mostly full. His expression clearly conveyed the message: "If you don't drink it, I will."
I glanced at the two empty bottles beside him and quickly shook my head. "I am drinking." Without hesitation, I raised the glass and drained all the wine in one gulp.
After finishing, I couldn't help but let out a small hiccup. The rich aroma confirmed this was premium wine—such a waste to drink it so carelessly
