She smelled the strong scent of wine in his breath.
He had been drinking.
He looked at her with slightly drunk eyes and said frankly, "I was in a good mood today, and I drank a small glass of wine."
"You only stopped taking your medications today..."
"Yes, I stopped taking the medicine today, so I drank a little. "He said, wrapping his arms around her waist, "I'm going to sleep with you tonight."
"Okay, you've already been drinking; why should you be afraid of the flu?" She teased him, "Did no one will stop you from drinking?"
Elliot looked innocent. "No. They drank with me!"
Avery was speechless.
"Don’t be angry. The champagne I drink was not high in alcohol content."
"It's still wine! You start messing around once I take my eye off you. Fortunately, I didn't let you go to work. If you were allowed to go to work, I don't know what would happen to you."
Elliot looked at her angry expression, leaned down, and kissed her forehead.
"You've been chatting with Tammy tonight; what were you talking about!" His warm breath caressed her skin gently.
"I asked her why Jun didn't come, and she said her mother-in-law was hospitalized with high blood pressure. Did you know about this?" Avery liked his kiss.
She helped him walk towards the main bedroom.
"I also found out tonight that Jun was taking care of his mother in the hospital, so he didn't come."
"Tammy said that her mother-in-law might force them to separate." She frowned slightly, "Do you think we can help them? "
Jun’s mother wants a child, but Tammy doesn't want one. Their conflicts couldn’t be resolved. How can we help as outsiders? " Elliot said sharply, "You should persuade Tammy to plan for the worst and give birth to the child first."
"That's what 1 persuaded her to do. She wants this child, so she should be okay with that idea." "That's great." The two returned to the main bedroom, and Avery helped Elliot to sit on the sofa.
"I don't need comfort. I want to comfort you, but I don't know how." He pulled out the belt and put it aside.
She put the water basin on the table. walked up, and took off his pants.
The trousers he wore were loose, so it was easier to take them off.
She just needed to be careful when taking it off his left leg.
"You better stop comforting me. The more you comfort me, the crankier I become." She said lightly, "We need to be content with what we have. I am thrilled that you are by my side now. Just stop thinking about Ruby and that child, and I will be fine.
"Then don't think about it."
"Yeah." After taking off his pants, she picked up the shirt he threw on the ground and put it in the laundry basket.
In Bridgedale, the sun rose slowly from the east.
