Look at me, okay?
"Look at me, who has always been standing beside you. Please have mercy on me."
...
As he spoke, Oliver's eyes turned red.
He choked with sobs. Biting his lips, he trembled.
Elaine rounded her eyes in shock.
She pursed her lips, looking up at Oliver blankly.
After a long time, beads of tears rolled out of her big eyes.
More and more tears rolled down, which frightened Oliver.
He immediately regretted ever putting it so bluntly just now.
"I'm sorry, Elaine. I was wrong. I was just bullshitting...."
Elaine shook her head and cried, her small shoulders trembling.
"I ... I don't have feelings for him ... No, I don't!"
Screaming, Elaine pushed Oliver away and ran home. As she ran, she wiped her tears with her arms.
"Elaine! Elaine! I was wrong! Don't be sad ... I was totally wrong!"
Oliver hurriedly chased after Elaine, but he was shut out.
"Elaine, I'm sorry....I shouldn't have said that. Don't take it to heart. Please don't cry, okay? I was wrong...."
Oliver sat down slowly next to the door of the Jones' and supported his cheeks in a dispirited manner.
Leaning against the door, Elaine was shedding tears inside the room.
Oliver's remarks were still ringing in her head.
He didn't belong to you. He would never belong to you....
You and he were from completely different worlds....
His father would never allow you to be together....
He didn't like you....
'Oliver is telling the truth, isn't he?'
Everything Elaine saw confirmed Oliver's ideas!
Emmett treated Elaine as dessert or a toy. When he was hungry, he would come to her to satisfy his greed for food.
However, Emmett had affairs with other women and kept playing around.
When did she lose heart to Emmett secretly?
Wasn't she courting death?
She should forget Emmett!
She should give up!
Elaine leaned against the door and clutched her chest tightly, crying very sadly.
...
Two hours later....
"What is this blocking my door?"
Ellie, who was drunk, burped and kicked the object curled up in front of her house.
"You're a stray dog, aren't you? Damn it. I cannot even support myself. Get lost!"
Oliver looked up with a frown.
Was she Elaine's sister? She looked like a hoodlum.
With Afro hair, she wore her hair in braids. Meanwhile, she dressed bizarrely, and had smoky eyes, which was scary.
Ellie kicked Oliver while staggering.
Ellie drank too much, so she felt dizzy. Fortunately, she managed to make it home.
"How can a girl come back so late?"
Oliver felt that he was like Ellie's brother-in-law. Like an elder, Oliver stood up to scold Ellie with his hands rest on his wrist.
(⊙_⊙)
"Well, you are a male animal." Ellie was shocked. With a grin, she examined Oliver while staggering. Giving a gulp, Ellie hugged Oliver's waist. Her breath smelt of alcohol. Then she said, "You look handsome! I will keep you!"
Oliver almost fainted from anger.
"I'm your brother-in-law!" Ellie waved her hand away.
"I don't care what your name is. I want you to be my husband...."
Elaine, who had been in a daze inside the door, could not stand it any longer. She opened the door with a creak and glanced at Ellie with her swollen eyes with embarrassment.
Oliver raised both of his hands, as if he surrendered, and explained, "I didn't hug her. She pounced over ... I swear. I didn't pester her. Elaine, your sister is drunk."
Elaine was angry and embarrassed. She rolled her eyes and said angrily, "Then why are you standing still? She's drunk, but you're not! Quickly bring her in!"
"What? Alright."
Oliver hurriedly helped Ellie into the room and placed Ellie on the bed under Elaine's command.
"No, I don't care.... No one can snatch this man from me.... He's mine.... This beautiful man is mine...."
...
Lying on the bed with her eyes closed, Ellie waved her hands and kept talking nonsense drunkenly.
Elaine blushed and walked out with Oliver.
"Why haven't you left yet? Why are you staying at my door? Go."
Elaine looked at her shoes and muttered.
Oliver scratched his hair with a look of shame.
"Didn't I make you cry? I don't dare to leave. I won't leave until you forgive me."
