The nanny said in confusion, “It’s Mr. Ann.”
“Elio?” Irene was very surprised. “Is there anything urgent for him to come to see me at such a late hour?”
The nanny opened the door. Elio was knocking on it when he didn’t notice that the door was suddenly opened. He almost fell down. Fortunately, the nanny was quick to hold him, so he didn’t fall to the ground.
“Irene. Irene.” Elio stood firm and kept mumbling.
Irene saw that Elio’s face was red and his eyes were a little confused. He must have drunk some wine. “Annie, go down and make a bowl of sober-up soup.” Irene ordered the nanny.
“Elio, how much did you drink?” Irene was glad that she had put on a coat in case of the cold night. Otherwise, she would be a little embarrassed at this time.
As she spoke, she helped Elio to the sofa.
Although she didn’t understand that Elio would come to her house after drinking wine in the middle of the night. It was inevitable for rumors to spread if a man and a woman were seen by some people. It was really not like what Elio would do. It was too irrational.
And in her memory, Elio was a very sensible person. He would not be greedy.
But now that Elio had already arrived at her house and was so drunk, she couldn’t just leave him alone.
He only hoped that Elio could sober up a little after drinking the soup.
What Irene didn’t know was that in order to get information from Elio, Tom used the highest purity wine. He hoped that he could get some information from Elio.
As a result, before he could finish his words, he left neatly. Tom was so angry that he thought he had bought a bad fake wine and poured out all the wine.
Coupled with what Tom had said before, Elio was a little dizzy after drinking. Under the influence of the alcohol, he didn’t know why he came to her place.
“No, I didn’t drink much. I just drank a few cups of wine at the beginning. I’m not drunk, so you don’t have to help me.”
Elio waved his hand, indicating that Irene didn’t need to help him.
“Irene, I’m here to tell you something.” Elio was tongue-tied and stammered, but he still said it.
“What do you want to say?” Irene was a little confused. Elio came to her house so late at night, so she thought there was something important. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be like this. She didn’t know if Elio would regret it when he recalled it the next day.
It turned out that Elio was like this after getting drunk. Why hadn’t he found it before? Irene couldn’t help but find it a little funny.
“Tomorrow, I have to tell Millicent about the embarrassing things that happened today,” Irene thought with a smile.
She didn’t know that Elio, who was elegant and gentle, had such a side.
“Irene, I, I like you!” Elio finally couldn’t suppress his inner feelings and said it openly.
In the past, he wanted to say something, but Irene either avoided him or changed the subject about other things.
He also understood what Irene meant. Over time, he had deeply buried this feeling in his heart and just stayed by her side quietly.
When Irene heard this, she felt as if she had been struck by lightning. What Irene did not know was that Millicent had also heard it from outside the door.
“Elio, you’re crazy! Do you know what you’re talking about?” Irene thought that she was hallucinating. Elio came to her house to confess his love after drinking for so long without sleeping for the whole night.
She thought that Elio and Millicent should have forgotten her after they were together. They were just good friends.
“I know what I’m talking about. Irene likes you. It used to be, now, and in the future.” Elio said firmly.
After hearing Elio’s words, Millicent covered her mouth with her hand and tried not to cry. At this time, she was cold all over. She felt like she was in an ice cellar, and even her breath was cold.
Why? Why? She had done so much, but Elio only had Irene in his heart.
Elio’s every word was like a rusty blunt knife, stabbing into her heart.
She had already presented her sincerity to Elio. Why did he still turn a blind eye to it? Could it be that Millicent’s sincerity was so worthless that it could be trampled on by others?
“Since you don’t like her, why did you give her hope at first? Elio, you are so cruel. You are really cruel.”
At this time, Millicent really wanted to rush in and ask, “What do you take me for?” But she didn’t. She didn’t dare. She was afraid that entering at this time would lead to an even more embarrassing situation.
In the past, Millicent always said that Elio still had her in his heart. As long as she worked hard, Elio would surely slowly forget that Irene was with her. There was only a little difference. She repeatedly said that she would not give up.
However, the truth gave her a hard slap, which made her dizzy.
She was just lying to herself. Millicent’s eyes were empty, and all his vitality had left with Elio’s words.
“Elio, where did you put your words? She’s your girlfriend!” Irene had never expected Elio to still have feelings for her.
She thought that Elio and Millicent would gradually forget her after they got together.
For so many years, Irene knew that Millicent had always liked Elio, just like she liked Wilson Edward.
It just so happened that Elio was deeply in love with her, but she would never respond to him.
After that, she was with Wilson Edward. She had seen Elio’s silent efforts, but it was because of this that she felt very guilty towards Elio and Millicent.
Irene didn’t want Elio to do anything useless to her, nor did she want to see her good friend put all her passion into Dong River.
She knew Millicent very well. She was gentle and quiet, which was very suitable for Elio. Moreover, she knew that a person would not let go of him, so she tried her best to get the two of them together.
Fortunately, the two of them got along well and did not let her down.
Irene knew that Elio had Millicent in his heart. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have offered to date her. But today, how could he… She thought that Elio had let go of his feelings for her. What did he mean by this?
Irene also knew that Elio was a very responsible person. He would never do anything that would step on two boats, eat in a pot, and look into a bowl.
Hearing Irene mention Millicent, Elio shivered and showed a painful look on his face.
“I, I’m sorry for forgetting her. I’m sorry for her!” Elio felt as if someone was cutting his body in half with an electric saw.
“I know that Millicent has always liked me, and I also know that you have always wanted me to be with her, but, but I like you.” Elio said this out of control for some reason.
After hearing this, Millicent’s heart became colder. It turned out that Elio meant that he was with her because of Irene?
What did it mean to say that one’s heart was as dead as ashes? Millicent felt it completely in an instant.
After Elio confessed his love to her, she had always been worried about her gains and losses. She was always afraid that Elio would leave her. It was true that she couldn’t keep him no matter how hard she tried.
Before Millicent saw it in person, she could convince her not to listen to rumors about others. But now she saw it with her own eyes and heard it with her own eyes, so she could continue to pretend.
Elio’s words were like the last straw that crushed her. She was like a drowning person who kept jumping in the water and calling for help. On the shore, Elio and Irene chose to stand by and watch.
No one helped her. She felt betrayed. Yes, betrayed!
She saw the two kissing each other on the shore, and she gradually sank into the water.
Millicent didn’t want to stay here for a second longer. This was a nightmare! She stumbled and left sadly without looking back.
Irene, who was distressed by Elio’s words in the room, did not find it, let alone Elio, who was drunk.
“But the only person I like is Edward. It has always been him. Now, in the future, it will never change.” Irene replied to him with Elio’s words. She was a little disappointed in Elio.
If Millicent heard such words here, how sad would she be?
The people who were involved in the matter were confused. Elio didn’t know much about it, but she saw it clearly.
Elio had feelings for Millicent, and he slowly let go of her.
Rather than saying that Elio was in love with her, it was more accurate to say that Elio was obsessed with her. He was only in love with that beautiful past.
It wasn’t that Elio didn’t like Millicent, but his feelings were covered up by Elio’s obsession. He didn’t even notice it.
After listening to Irene’s words, a bitter smile appeared on Elio’s face. He had already known the answer, hadn’t he? However, he was still dreaming.
“Elio, think about it carefully. Who do you like in your heart? You used to like me, but what about now? Do you dare to say that your mind is full of my figure now?” Irene could not help but persuade him.
Now she couldn’t help but wonder if it was wrong to set Elio and Millicent together.
Millicent was a relatively quiet person. It was unlikely that she would take the initiative to break the window paper. Moreover, she was very considerate of others. If there was anything that she liked to hide in her heart, she would bear it alone.
As for Elio, he was still a little attached to her, so he couldn’t figure out who he really liked.
Elio was stunned when he heard Irene’s question.
He felt that someone had thrown a bomb in his head. His mind was clearly filled with Irene’s figure that had been blown to pieces. When these figures finally gathered together, they became Millicent’s shadow.
When Elio saw her flirting with Millicent, she was angry and looked at him carefully.
