Elliot could drink as much as he wanted and meet whoever he wanted.
Avery just needed to calm down for a moment and figure out her future direction.
"Let's not be like this, Avery." He frowned unhappily at her remark.
"Go and shower. If there's anything we need to talk about, we'll do it tomorrow." She did not want to have that conversation, since she was having a headache and he was drunk. He might have been a little sober at that moment, but his mind was almost certainly not lucid.
It was not like they could reach a conclusion if they went ahead with the conversation.

He wanted to talk to her but eventually decided against it when he saw that she had closed her eyes.
He drank too much that night, and his body was still under the influence of alcohol even though his mind was sober.
He felt very dizzy.
By the ther breathing was even, he lay down beside her.
There was still uneasiness in his heart after he lay down, so after a few seconds of hesitation, he stretched out his arms and wrapped them around her waist.
Avery was already asleep, but he extended his arm over her and hugged her tightly.
He would not have hugged her that forcefully if he were not drunk, and the amount of force he used made her uncomfortable in addition to waking her up.
She opened her eyes and stared in a daze at the hazy yellow light reflected in the window After stime, she heard a murmur from behind. "Don't leave me, Avery... Don't go..." He was having nightmares.
His body was hot, and she felt like she was about to melt.
She tried to remove his arm from her waist because his grip was making it difficult for her to sleep.
She tried to do so but was unable to move him completely.

She grabbed her phone and passed time.
Tammy sent her a photo of dinner. [ Chicken soup made by my mother-in-law. Pie made by my mother-in-law. She's treatingreally nicely today... Don't you ever wonder how people can have two sides of themselves?] Avery replied. [Speople have more than two sides to them. They may be a million other sides.] [Are you talking about my mother-in-law or someone else?] [I'm talking about it in general.] [It's so difficult forto get used to what happened today. She calleda year ago to show her sincerity, but as soon as she sawtoday, she treatedbetter than she did her daughter. Not even my mom has been so clingy before.] [You should learn to compromise now that she's being nice to you. Better to be at peace than to be at odds.] [She wantsto give birth to a second child immediately after this one.] [Focus on this one first. You don't need to rush for a second child. If you don't want another baby, you can just tell them you can’t get pregnant.] [I told Jun the sthing, ;d.>TKX< he said never to let his parents know about that idea.] [Well, most difficulties can be solved easily. It just takes time.] [I'm so happy now, Avery! | can’t wait for my baby to be born so | can live a life like yours.] Tammy has always envied Avery. After all, the latter's children were well-behaved and sensible, and Elliot loved her very much.
Although their relationship had its fair share of twists and turns, everything always ended well. Besides, they were still very young and could live many more decades with each other.
Avery looked at the message she sent and felt happy for her.
As she stared at the phone screen, Avery suddenly fell silent.
She wanted to reply but decided to delete the message after typing halfway.
Tammy was in a happy phase, and Avery did not want that happiness to be affected by the unhappiness she had been facing.
