Chapter 252 Avery’s nose felt a sharp pain as Elliot pushed her face into his chest. She checked out the room with her red nose and teary eyes.
Where’s Zoe? Why was Elliot left alone in the room? Wasn‘t she supposed to be taking care of her drunk boyfriend?
She pushed him away with her hands, but Elliot embraced her tighter than before.
“Don‘t leave me, Avery...” He lifted her up midair and begged with his voice, “I miss you so much… I‘ve missed you every day...”
Elliot muttered as he carried her into bed. Avery’s heart ached as she saw him like that. He was completely drunk! They said drunk words were sober thoughts.
Does it mean he had a place for her in his heart?
He pressed his body against her on the bed. He stared into her eyes lovingly. “Let go of me, Elliot Foster!” Avery breathed in and placed both her hands on his face, trying to wake him up, “Shea was crying at home because she needed you. Mrs. Cooper called me and she wants to...”
He pressed his lips against hers before she could continue.
Did he just ignore the part where she mentioned Shea? Didn‘t he care about her? Usually, he gets anxious upon hearing the name Shea, what‘s with him tonight?
She bit hard on his lips. The faint scent of blood lingered in between them.
“Elliot Foster, do you know what you‘re doing now?” Avery cried out with tears streaming down, “Shea is crying at home! Can you hear me? She‘s waiting for you to get home!”
Elliot pursed his bleeding lips as he gulped. His tears started falling down as Avery thought he was going to speak
His tears fell on her cheeks. “I heard, I heard! Avery, I’m not going home tonight. I’m staying with you...” His voice was determined though it was coarsened.
All of her defenses broke down as he said it. They kissed again.
Avery didn’t push him away. She had no energy to defend him anymore. She kept replaying the scene of his crying face. It was all too painful to bear.
