Averie: “Okay. You should rest early in the evening, you shouldn’t have to wait for Ben Schaffer. Your second brother and I apply for this If he drinks late, it must be Ben Schaffer who asked him to drink.”
Gwen couldn’t help laughing: “My second brother is so cowardly in front of you?”
Averie: “I’ll be angry.”
Gwen: “Averie, you’ve trained my second brother so well.”
“If I go out so late, I’ll make it clear to him.” Averie had just taken a shower and was awake for less than a few minutes. Sitting on the bed at this moment, drowsiness struck immediately.
After talking on the phone, she was too lazy to turn off the light, so she just lay down and fell asleep.
Dining room.
Elyette took off the mask on Ben Schaffer’s face.
The bruises on his face have not disappeared, and he looks a little embarrassed.
“Can you drink like this?” Elyette asked.
“It doesn’t hurt anymore. I don’t take anti-inflammatory drugs anymore. You can drink it.” Ben Schaffer poured him some wine, “Your legs must be fine, right? Otherwise Averie won’t allow you to go out.”
Elyette: “Well, I told her I ‘ll have a drink tonight.”
Ben: “She agreed?”
Elyette: “Hmm.”
Ben: “Huh? Why is she so forgiving? I thought you could only drink secretly.”
Elyette: “Do you think I can drink alcohol secretly? If I drink or not, she can tell by smelling it.”
“Hahaha! You used to laugh at me with an old tree that has been single for more than a hundred years on the phone…Look at how you are being controlled by Averie now. I drink if I want, no one cares about me, and I don’t need to report to anyone.” Ben Schaffer mocked.
Elyette took a sip of wine: “Don’t you want someone to take care of your situation, and no one will take care of you?”
Ben: “Haha, you are being taken care of by a woman, and you are proud of yourself?”
“I drink too much and go back, my wife will take care of me. Of course I’m proud.”
Ben Schaffer: “…”
After two glasses of wine, the topic of the two went from fighting each other to opening their hearts.
Ben: “Elyette, I suddenly felt that I was stupid before. But I dare not tell others, I can only tell you…”
Elyette: “Tell me.”
“I thought I was waiting for Chelsea, Chelsea will eventually marry me. I’ve been wrong for more than ten years.” Ben Schaffer picked up the glass and continued pouring, “I haven’t dared to face this mistake until now. I’ve lived to this age, but it’s not a cloud. Gwen is smart.”
Elyette: “Chelsea is already dead, why do you still mention her.”
“Because I don’t want to repeat the same mistakes. If I chase Gwen, but Gwen keeps hanging on me, I have to stop the loss in time.” Ben Schaffer’s eyes Scarlet, “I don’t have many ten years to waste.”
Elyette: “Well.”
“Elyette, do you have any troubles now?” Ben Schaffer asked casually.
After asking this question, he wanted to withdraw, but unfortunately there is no withdrawal function in reality.
Elyette can’t be troubled now.
“Yes.” Elyette turned on the phone and showed him a picture, “Who do you think this picture looks like?”
Ben Schaffer took the phone, narrowed his eyes, and took a closer look at the picture: “This is not Layla. Is it?”
Elyette: “This is Rebecca and my child.”
Ben Schaffer: “Ah!”
Elyette took back the phone, “I don’t dare to tell Averie about this. I want to wait.”
“Wait for what?” Ben Schaffer was a little drunk, but suddenly sober.
Elyette said, “Wait until this child grows up a bit, and see if her appearance will change.How could Rebecca’s and I’s child grow up to look like Layla?”
“Yes! I’m also wondering. How similar Layla and Averie look, anyone with eyes can see at a glance. You and Rebecca’s daughter may be like you, maybe Rebecca but it’s impossible to look like Averie.” When it comes to excitement, Ben Schaffer can’t help but slap the table.
Elyette confessed, “Don’t tell Averie about this. Don’t tell anyone. I promised Averie that I would never go to Yonroeville again, nor would I take the initiative to contact Rebecca. If I keep my promise, Then I shouldn’t even mention Rebecca and that child.” The more Elyette drank, the more sober he became.
Every time he thinks of the child like Layla, he feels very distressed.
“Don’t worry, I’ll be tight-lipped.” Ben Schaffer put the bottle aside and poured a glass of warm water and said, “Suddenly I don’t want to drink anymore.”
Elyette: “Why?”
Ben Schaffer said helplessly, “If I’m drunk, who will comfort you? And I’m drunk, how can I go back later? Besides, I look at you, I’m afraid I’m drinking too much. Maybe I’ll call Averie later and ask her to pick you up.”
Elyette Immediately put down the glass: “She should be sleeping. We got off the plane today and went to Xander’s house. She didn’t sleep on the plane.”
Ben: “If I were her, I would feel very guilty.”
Elyette: “Xander’s parents didn’t blame her.”
Of course you can’t blame her. Who knows what happened to Xander’s death.” Ben Schaffer quickly turned the topic back to the child, “You said just now that you can’t go to Yonroeville in the future, then what about when Rebecca gave birth?”
Elyette didn’t answer his question, just glanced at him. “Well, I can’t go, Averie will definitely be angry if I go.”
Ben Schaffer shrugged, “If you want to see that child, I can go in your place. I’ll go secretly and not let anyone know. When I pass, I’ll show you the baby and do a paternity test for you, how about it?”
Elyette: “It’s too early to think about this issue.”
“It’s not too early. In a few months, Rebecca will give birth. If you don’t see it with your own eyes, who knows if the child really looks like Layla?” Ben Schaffer wanted to solve this mystery, “Or when you come to Bridgedale, I’ll pick up Rebecca and the child to come to Bridgedale with him and you can meet.”
Elyette felt that this proposal was absurd, “If I really want to see that child so much, I can take Averie to see it openly.”
Ben Schaffer teased, “Don’t talk about it, you don’t even dare to tell Averie what to talk about taking Averie to see Rebecca give birth to a child. Do you think Averie can be stimulated by this? No matter how much she says, do you think she really doesn’t mind? Even if she only hears the words Rebecca, I guess she is nauseated and want to vomit.”
Elyette’s thin lips pursed into a line, “According to what you said, wait until the child continues to grow up and see if it will change.”
Seeing his gloomy face, Ben Schaffer couldn’t bear it, and persuaded, “Don’t worry, you and Rebecca’s child will only be the same. It will be like you and Rebecca, but it is impossible to be like Averie.”
Elyette: “Well.”
Ben: “If it is really like Averie, it is a mutation.” Ben Schaffer smiled unkindly.
Elyette: “Variation? Is there such a thing?”
“I’m talking nonsense. How can I understand this?” Ben Schaffer touched his chin and said, “When Rebecca has a baby, I’ll go to Yonroeville to see. I’ll go and see it in your name, I’ll see it myself.”
“Whatever you want.” Elyette couldn’t control him.
“You said I’ll call Gwen later and ask her to pick me up, will she ignore me?” Ben Schaffer suddenly wanted to drink again.
“I don’t know.” Elyette gave him an idea, “You can try. If she ignores you, I can take you back to my house.”
“Okay, then I’ll try.” Ben Schaffer picked up the wine bottle with great interest, poured a little wine, “I’ll drink less and pretend to be drunk later. If I’m really drunk, I won’t know anything.”
Half an hour later
Gwen received a call from Ben Schaffer. She had taken a shower, was lying on the bed, and was reading a short video to decompress.
Ben Schaffer’s call suddenly popped up, and she sat up suddenly.
She picked up the phone, and Ben Schaffer’s voice came intermittently: “Gwen…I…I drink too much… Can you… Come pick me up?”
Along with these words, there was a wine burp.
Gwen seemed to follow the radio waves and smelled the pungent smell of alcohol.
“It’s so cold outside, so I won’t pick you up.” Gwen refused his request without hesitation. After refusing, her conscience was uneasy, and she added, “You can find a nearby hotel to stay in. What are you doing back here at night? It’s unnecessary.”
Ben Schaffer was irritated by her ruthless answer.
“Didn’t you drink with my second brother? Where’s my second brother? Drunk too?” Seeing that Ben Schaffer didn’t say a word, Gwen asked.
Ben Schaffer sighed: “Your second brother wants to take me back to his house. But his legs are not good. How can I ask him to help me with more than 100 pounds?”
