Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 1383

In front of Andrew, everyone else was not worth mentioning—just dust beneath his feet. To put it bluntly, they were nothing.

Kevin beamed. "Perfect. Just perfect! Andy, then it's settled between our families! Come on, let's raise a glass and celebrate the Wrights becoming sworn brothers with you!"

Kevin grinned from ear to ear, lifting his wine glass high. At this point, the Wrights practically worshipped Andrew, treating him like a king.

So, Andrew could not really refuse—he clinked his glass against Kevin's with a polite smile. He said smoothly, "I should be the one thanking you, Kevin. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have ended up with such a remarkable godson. But hey, let's not get too sentimental—cheers to you. Bottom's up!"

Kevin burst into laughter. "You're too kind! Cheers, let's drink till we drop!"

The drinking went late into the evening, and it was already around 8.00 p.m. when it finally wound down. Kevin offered to take Andrew to their private country club for a full massage and relaxation session, but he politely declined.

Andrew wandered off by himself, planning to catch a ride home. However, before he could reach the curb, Christina and her family came rushing up behind him.

"Andrew, wait! Don't go yet!" Leroy was the first to speak, though he started with a scolding tone.

However, as soon as the words reached his mouth, he backed down, suddenly meek. The man who once barked at Andrew like he was nothing did not even dare raise his voice anymore, afraid one wrong word might get him decapitated with just a snap of Andrew's fingers.

"Is there something you need?" Andrew's expression was cold as he glanced at them.

Irene stepped up first, nervously smiling. "Andrew, sweetheart, I just want to sincerely apologize for everything."
