HIS REGRET (Ex-Husband wants Me Back) novel Chapter 1047

“Young Master Josh, should we go back home or to Miss Eli’s dorm?” Hans asked, sounding rather concerned.

His gaze had shifted several times to Eli, who was asleep in the back seat. During the time he had driven the Miller family around, he had often seen Eli in various situations, but he had never once seen the girl lose control like this tonight.

“I have never seen Miss Eli like this before. Is it possible that someone at the bar deliberately made her this drunk?”

Josh, who was sitting beside Eli, glanced at her. “At least I didn’t arrive too late.”

Hans smiled faintly, acknowledging Josh’s words.

Josh still held onto the frustration that had not faded since he saw Eli’s condition. He did not know what had happened after Eli left him in the garden area near the Raven University multipurpose building, but seeing Eli in this state filled his mind with all kinds of possibilities.

“Just go home,” he finally answered. “Let’s take her home.”

“Yes, Young Master.”

The car then left the bar area not far from Raven University. Josh looked at Eli, who was leaning weakly against the seat. The girl’s hair was slightly disheveled, her face was still flushed from the alcohol, and occasionally her lips moved as though she were saying something in her sleep.

Josh let out a long sigh. He still clearly remembered their last conversation before Eli had completely lost consciousness.

He’s the basketball team captain.

He’s very handsome.

Josh scoffed softly. “What’s so handsome about him?” he muttered in annoyance.

Eli stirred and settled comfortably against Josh’s shoulder. The young man glanced at her again. “How could you possibly like a rude man like that?”

There was no answer. Of course. Eli was already fast asleep, whether from the effects of the alcohol or exhaustion, Josh did not know. “Your boyfriend has terrible taste.”

Eli remained silent.

Josh rubbed his own face. He knew Eli could not possibly hear him, but he still felt the need to say it. Ever since he first met her and they began growing closer, the girl had always had good judgment about many things. She could even understand things that others could not simply by looking at them a few times.

But when it came to David, it was as though all her logic disappeared.

“You really are stupid for a man like him.” Josh then fell silent. His gaze returned to Eli’s sleeping face.

Her irritation slowly turned into concern.

She did not know whether Eli was happy with the relationship. She also did not know what had actually happened between them. However, from the way David had treated Eli earlier, Josh already felt that something was not right.

Unfortunately, now was not the time to look for answers. Eli slept throughout the journey and completely ignored all of Josh’s complaints. And Josh’s return this time with Eli, who was drunk, would certainly draw his parents’ attention. Josh had to think of the right excuse to protect Eli.

Josh nodded slowly and said, “It seems she drank too much.”

Althea fell silent. There were many questions she actually wanted to ask, but seeing Eli asleep made her choose to hold them back.

Josh then said softly, “Mom, don’t scold her tomorrow morning.”

Althea turned to her son and gave him a sharp look.

“She’s already tired enough.”

The woman could only let out a long sigh. “All right. Take Eli to her room immediately. And you, get some rest as soon as possible. It’s already late.”

Josh smiled faintly and continued walking toward Eli’s room. “Thank you, Mom.”

When Eli opened her eyes the next morning, the first thing she felt was the heaviness in her head. She closed her eyes again for a few seconds before slowly opening them.

The ceiling of the room felt so familiar. Eli frowned and looked around. The larger bed. The curtains she recognized. The bookshelf in the corner of the room. Even the scent of the room felt so familiar, as if she had only left it a few hours ago.

This was not her dorm room.

Eli immediately sat up. Her head felt heavy and throbbing, while her body was still weak, as if she had not fully recovered. She rubbed her temples as she tried to gather her scattered memories.
