Chapter 1100
Elliot did not expect Avery to be thinking of these things in her drunken state of mind. He stroked her reddened cheek with his hand, then said, “You’ve had too much to drink, Avery. Don’t you feel bad?”
“I do.” Avery gazed at Elliot with glistening eyes. “I feel really bad seeing your image ruined.” “I’ll be fine after a few days. I’ll ask the butler to bring some soup to sober you up.” Elliot’s heart ached as he watched Avery’s confused expression. “Lie down on the bed and don’t move around.” “Where are you going?” “I’m going to call the butler,” Elliot said as he dialed a number on the room’s phone.
The butler very quickly answered the call.
As Elliot asked the butler for some soup, he could barely finish his sentence when Avery cried out in a spoiled voice, “I want lollipop, Mr. Butler!”
The butler was taken aback.
Elliot turned around and gazed in frustration at Avery’s drunken face. “Are you sure you want a lollipop?” “I’m feeling really hot. If you don’t let me have a lollipop, then I’m taking my clothes off…” Elliot immediately hung up the phone.
He got a bowl of water from the bathroom to help Avery wash up.
She shoved his arm aside and threw him an annoyed look. “I’m dizzy… Don’t touch me…” “Are you doing to drink again?” Elliot lightly grabbed onto Avery’s chin and forcefully wiped her face down. “I know you’re upset that the wedding didn’t go as planned today, but a wedding is nothing but a formality. We still have many days ahead of us.” “Hmph. You just said it all.” Avery sobered up slightly after her face was wiped down. “You were the one who prepared the wedding. You spent so much time and energy on our wedding day… Don’t you feel it’s a pity?” “So what if I do feel that?” Elliot dunked the piece of cloth in the bowl of water, squeezed it out, then wiped Avery’s face again. “Henry’s probably sitting at home now feeling helpless and furious.”
“Serves him right!” Avery suddenly raised her voice. “The more they try to harm us, the happier we should live our lives!”
“That’s right.” Elliot saw her bloodshot eyes CPYNwjcf worried that she would have a headache the next day. “Are there painkillers in the first aid kit you brought over earlier?”
“What do you need painkillers for? Are you feeling pain anywhere? Let me take a look for you. “Avery grabbed Elliot’s arm and tried to sit up.
She sat up for less than two seconds before she fell back onto the bed again.
“Close yourself and get some sleep. The painkillers are for when you wake up tomorrow.” Elliot tucked her in, then said, “You’re not allowed to drink ever again.”
Avery narrowed her eyes as her gaze turned misty. She lifted her slender arm and placed it on top of her head while she babbled on lightly from time to time. Elliot could tell that she was suffering, but he could not endure it in her place.
He turned off the lights in the room except for a lamp on the nightstand.
About fifteen minutes later, Avery’s eyes were shut and her breathing turned even. There was a knock on the door and Elliot walked over to open it. The butler had shown up with some soup and a lollipop.
Elliot took the tray over from him, then shut the door.
The soup was kept in an insulated container, so Avery could have it later if she woke up in the middle of the night.
However… What was he supposed to do with the lollipop?
Avery was not having a peaceful sleep at night.
Her head was killing her to the point that she woke up from the pain after only sleeping for a little while.
When she opened her eyes, she saw Elliot elegantly eating a lollipop in the dimly lit room.
Avery immediately shot up in bed. “Elliot Foster! Are you eating my lollipop?!” She sobered up instantly. She remembered asking the butler for a lollipop, and the one Elliot was eating right now was most probably hers.
