Back at The Precipice, Emmeline’s eyes were swelling after she cried.
Abel teased her, “You’re so ugly. If I knew this, I wouldn’t bring you back.”
Emmeline sniffed. “You promised to drink with me. If you don’t drink, you’re a puppy!”
“Alright, I’ll drink with you!”
“Yes, drink it!” Emmeline shouted, “You won’t do anything to me anyway!”
“What about you?” Abel narrowed his eyes. “You can’t do anything to me!”
“Don’t worry!” Emmeline said, “I’ll fall asleep if I’m drunk. I won’t do anything to you!”
“Then let’s drink!” Abel said, “Drink until you’re satisfied!”
Kendra did not say anything when she saw them like this.
She warmed the dishes again, put the wine on the table, and went upstairs to coax Quincy.
Abel filled the wine for Emmeline and himself.
“Drink!” Emmeline held the glass. “No matter what, just get drunk!”
“Okay!” Abel responded, “I’ll accompany you!”
One glass after another, Emmeline, who was not good at drinking, was drunk after a while.
She slumped on the chair without opening her eyes. She was still moaning and yelling, “Drink! Keep going, Abel! If you don’t drink, you’re a puppy!”
“Emma, you drank too much.” Abel picked her up. “You can’t cure all your worries with wine. Go upstairs and rest.”
“I’m not drunk.” Emmeline put her arms around his neck. “I can drink three more glasses.”
“You can drink it tomorrow. If you drink it again, you’ll feel uncomfortable and vomit.”
“I’m already feeling uncomfortable. But I feel better after drinking more. I don’t need to think about anything.”
“Fool.” Abel pinched her nose. “Why are you making trouble with yourself? Do you think drinking is fun? It’ll only hurt your body!”
