Touched, Isaac gulped down his wine and Juliet immediately poured him another glass.
"Let's talk! We don't really know each other, after all," she said. "Lettell you about my family first!" Isaac studied her face under the candle lights and wondered why her attitude had taken such a tic turn. She had ignored him completely when he spoke to her in the morning, and had beca completely different person after he cback from work.
"Both my parents are from Ylore. I have an older brother and a younger sister. My brother is already working in our family company, and my sister is still in high school. Our family is slightly better than a middle-class family! Have you ever been to Ylore?" Isaac shook his head. "I usually go to bigger countries." "Yeah, Ylore is still developing and the culture there is quite conservative. My parents have high expectations for us, so girls from Ylore are usually more conservative. That's why I was upset yesterday..." Isaac blushed. "I'm sorry, Juliet! I didn't know that. If you had toldthat yesterday, I would not have acted so recklessly. If something else comes up in the future, let's make sure we talk about it. I'll let you make the call, okay?" She smiled shyly. "Isaac, I've told you about my family. You should talk about yours." "Sure. My family background is quite simple, though." "Let's drink this glass first." She raised her glass at him.

Juliet watched him and complimented, "you are so good at drinking, Isaac. I'm not really good at it, so I respect men who can drink, like you." Isaac was over the moon at the compliment.
"I'm not bad at drinking. I'm perfectly fine with drinking a bottle of wine on my own. If it's beer, I can drink a whole bucket," he bragged, before passing his empty glass to Juliet.
She lowered her eyes and thought to herself, it's a good thing that I bought two bottles of wine, then. If I had only bought one, I might not be able to get him drunk.' S The next morning, Juliet was woken by the ringing of her phone.
She found her phone and once she noticed that it was a call from her mother, she got out of bed and hurried into the bathroom to answer.
"Juliet, hurry back! Something happened to your dad!" Mrs. Sutton said.
Her legs gave in and Juliet had to support her body by leaning on the wall.
"What happened to Dad? Mom, what's going on?" Tears scrolled down her face.

Worried, she wiped her tears dry and called her older brother, who answered the phone right away.
"What happened to Dad?" "Dad is sick. He's in the ICU right now and the doctors said that he might not be able to make it," her brother explained. "Juliet, if you want to say goodbye to Dad, you need to chright away." S Juliet darted out of the bathroom and opened her closet to change.
ane Isaac had drunk too much the night before and was suffering from a headache. He struggled to open his eyes at all the noises and muttered, "Juliet... What's wrong?" "My dad fell sick. I need to go back to Ylore!" She changed swiftly and opened her purse to check that she had all necessary travel documents.
"All of a sudden? Do you needto cwith you?"
