“…But I see everyone else is drinking. I want to drink.” Averie rubbed her temples and paused, “Elyette, I seem to have something to tell you… Let me think… I suddenly can’t remember.”
Elyette looked at her drunk and still in pain, and his heart was twisted.
“Think slowly, don’t worry.” Elyette squeezed her hand and waited patiently for her.
“Elyette…What am I going to say?” Averie gasped, the more she tried to remember, the less she could remember, “I have something very important to tell you. ….. Really, I really have something to tell you … but I can’t remember anything now.”
Averie said with words in her mouth, the more anxious, and the end cried.
And the more she cry, the more she sad, and the more uncontrollable it becomes.
As long as she still has a sense of reason, she can control herself not to be so sad in front of Elyette.
She has held on for so long, she can continue to hold on. But now the alcohol controls her consciousness, and all her words and deeds are out of control.
Elyette watched her cry into tears, and the tears fell out of control. He wanted to say something to comfort her, but couldn’t say a word.
Averie saw that Elyette seemed to be crying too, so she took his arm and struggled to sit up.
“Elyette, don’t cry… It breaks my heart to see you cry.” Averie was slightly awake, plunged her head into his arms, and wiped the tears off his shirt, “I…I cried just now, I was angry with myself, I drank too much… I can’t remember anything, I am anxious… It has nothing to do with you… It really has nothing to do with you…”
Averie was obviously drunk, but she was still worried that Elyette would find out that she was so sad because of him.
“Elyette, I’ll just sleep… When I sleep, I’ll be able to remember what I’m going to say to you…” She leaned against his chest, Smelling his familiar and unique breath, his heart was floating in the air, and he calmed down a little, “Elyette, you hold me… I want you to hold me… I’m so sleepy.”
Elyette hugged her according to her words.
She closed her eyes with satisfaction and fell asleep in his arms.
Two hours later, Mike and Hayden returned home.
Chad and Elyette were sitting in the living room and seemed to be waiting for them.
“Chad, why are you here? When did you come here? You didn’t say anything.” Mike complained, “Where’s Averie? Didn’t she come back? But I see Ali smoking in the yard!”
Chad: “Averie is drunk and sleeping in the room. I’m here to pick up my boss.”
“Drunk?” Mike raised his eyebrows, “Why is Averie drunk? Also, where are you going to pick up Elyette?”
“I’ll take my boss to a party. I’ll be back in about two days.” Chad said blankly, “If Averie wakes up, just tell her that.”
“Oh. Why is it so sudden?” Mike scratched his head and looked at Elyette, “Can’t you wait for Averie to wake up and tell her?”
“She’s going to the Jones family’s wedding tomorrow, and she doesn’t have time to accompany me.” Elyette replied.
His answer was watertight.
“That’s right!” Mike accepted his explanation, but was worried, “But why are you suddenly going to the entertainment? Can you be entertained with this body?”
Elyette’s eyes fell on Hayden’s face, but he didn’t listen at all what Mike said.
He waited until now just to see his son Hayden one last time.
Hayden felt that his eyes were bold and direct, which made people very uncomfortable. His usual eyes were much more reserved.
“My mother won’t promise to let you go out to socialize.” Hayden looked directly at Elyette, trying to stop him from going out. Otherwise, my mother will be anxious when she wakes up and sees that you’re not at home.
“Your mother supports my work.” Elyette didn’t expect his son to take the initiative to speak up, which was a bit unexpected, but he would not change his mind, “Hayden, your mother rarely makes video calls for your younger siblings recently, so you have to make video calls for them often.”
Elyette, what are you talking about? You asked Hayden to make video call for them, can’t you make it yourself? Don’t you have a mobile phone now?” Mike said, he felt strange, “Did you quarrel with Averie? Otherwise why does Averie get drunk? She doesn’t like drinking.”
“Mike, please accompany her to the Jones’s wedding tomorrow!” Elyette looked at Mike and explained, “It’s safer to go with her alone.”
Mike: “…”
“I’ve already eaten dinner, you guys go have it!” Elyette had already explained everything he wanted to explain, so he was about to leave.
If Elyette didn’t leave, he was afraid that something would happen.
He glanced at Chad, and Chad immediately received his meaning.
“Let’s go first.” After Chad said this to Mike, he left with Elyette.
Mike watched them leave, turned around, and looked at Hayden: “Do you think your father is a little weird? I can’t tell you what’s weird… It feels weird everywhere.”
Hayden didn’t know how to answer. He also thought Elyette was weird.
Especially the way Elyette looked at Hayden was a little scary.
“I think Hayden must have quarreled with your mother.” Mike said firmly.
At this time, Ali walked in.
“No. They didn’t quarrel.” Ali explained, “How could my boss quarrel with Mr. Foster? Mr. Foster is her treasure now, and it’s too late for her to take care of her carefully! Even if Mr. Foster takes the initiative to quarrel with her, she will only bear it, and she will never quarrel with him.”
“You mean that Elyette took the initiative to quarrel with Averie?” A chill appeared in Mike’s eyes.
“No, no!” Seeing Mike’s misinterpretation, Ali blushed anxiously, “Mr. Foster has been recuperating at home. If he took the initiative to quarrel with my boss, you would have known it. You don’t have to wait for me to tell you.”
“Oh, let me just say, how dare he quarrel with Averie now that he is taking care of Averie?” Mike breathed a sigh of relief, and after a few seconds, frowned again, “You have been following Averie, do you know why she drinks?”
Ali: “This…”
“If you don’t know, then don’t do it! How could you not know about such an important thing?” Mike threatened.
Ali: “It’s not about Elyette. When she wakes up, you can ask her! If she has any worries, she won’t tell me. But I guessed it right away.”
……
Elyette and Chad went to the hotel.
“Boss, you’re not going back tonight?” Chad cautiously opened his mouth to break the silence, “Averie is drunk, don’t you take care of her? If she wakes up at night and sees you not there, she will definitely be anxious.”
“Chad, I want drink.” Elyette’s eyes were as deep as ink, looking out the window, “You accompany me to a bar!”
Chad: “Okay. But you can’t drink too much, I’m afraid your body can’t stand it.”
The two went to a restaurant near the hotel.
Elyette ordered two bottles of red wine.
He and Chad each have a bottle.
Based on Chad’s knowledge of his alcohol intake, he definitely couldn’t drink a whole bottle of red wine.
After drinking this whole bottle, he will definitely be drunk and unconscious like Averie.
Chad drank a glass of wine, the alcohol was on top, and he became more courageous.
“Boss, when you came out of Averie’s house tonight, you stared at Hayden for a while. Your eyes were very straightforward.” Chad said to himself, “You seemed to be eating Hayden. No wonder Hayden would take the initiative to talk to you.”
“I usually didn’t dare to stare at his face like this. I had never seen his face so carefully.” Elyette lowered his eyes and looked at the red liquid in the cup. “I could see it clearly today. He looked more and more that he liked me.”
“Yeah! Hayden was like you were carved out of a mold. Not only did he look like you, but his temper was also like you. you didn’t look at it. Hayden seemed to be cold, but he actually had a fire in his heart, he knew who treated him well.” Chad picked up the glass and clinked with Elyette, “Boss, don’t give up, okay?”
Although Elyette didn’t say anything more, but Chad could feel that Elyette was about to give up his life.
Elyette: “Chad, I thought you understood me.”
“Boss, I know you are in pain right now. But I beg you, at least for the sake of the child, be patient.” Chad squeezed the wine glass with his fingers. tight, and the heart tightens.
Chad wanted to say, he will find a way to tie Margaret, so that Elyette doesn’t have to worry about being threatened by Margaret.
But it wasn’t done yet, so Chad didn’t say it.
“Drink!” Elyette took a sip of wine and swallowed the bitterness.
“Boss, Brother Ben hasn’t married Gwen yet. You should at least wait… Brother Ben is like a brother to you. How could you be absent from his wedding?” Chad racked his brains to get Elyette to deal with this. The world is a little more nostalgic.
Even if he can live another day, that’s fine.
“Chad, don’t persuade me, and don’t tell anyone about this. After drinking this bottle of wine, I want to sleep well.” Elyette drank all the wine in the glass, then picked up the bottle, pouring wine on his own.
Chad swallowed tears in his stomach.
After Elyette finished drinking, he lay on the table drunk.
