Chapter 1276


    Avery didn''t want him to sleep with Ruby, but that was exactly what he nned to do.


    He wanted to prove that he was not the Elliot he was before! Now, he could do whatever he wanted,


    without being controlled by anybody.


    "Elliot.I''m quite nervous...could you be gentle to meter?" said Ruby shyly while pulling theces of


    his nightgown apart.


    He held her hand in his, and frowned, "Did you put on perfume?"


    "I did. Does it smell nice?" Ruby looked upwards at him affectionately.


    The perfume she put on was the one she thought most men would like.


    "It doesn’t," Elliot tied theces of his nightgown back into ce, "Go wash it off."


    "All right ...I don''t really like the smell either." Ruby smiled and walked towards the bathroom.


    He didn''t know if it was due to the perfume or not, but he suddenly felt less interested in Ruby. He


    picked up his phone and took a look at the time. It was still early. He strode out from the bedroom, and


    ordered the nanny to prepare a sobering drink for him.


    About a minuteter, Ruby came out of the bathroom, having finished her bath, but Elliot was no longer


    in the bedroom. She quickly dressed up in her pyjamas and went out of the room, and just happened to


    see the nanny going downstairs with the sobering drink.


    "Have you seen Elliot?" asked Ruby.


    "Master Elliot ordered for a sobering drink to be sent to him in his study." said nanny." Miss, would you


    like to give this to Master Elliot?”


    Nanny had always taken care of Ruby, and was always thoughtful for her.


    "Why is he even in his study?" mumbled Ruby as she took the drink and walked to the study,


    Knocking on the door, she found a notebook open on the table. Elliot was talking on the phone to


    someone else. When Elliot saw her enter, he ended the call.


    "I still have some work to do," said Elliot," You can go sleep."


    "Sure," Ruby put the drink on his desk." Remember to drink it. I''m going-” "Sleep in the guest room,"


    Elliot interrupted, "I need to go to the hospital tomorrow for a follow-up body checkup. If I don''t sleep


    well tonight, the results are going to be affected."


    "Sure. Don’t stay up toote. You can call me if there''s anything." Ruby had a gentle smile on her face.


    Her smile remained in his mind even after she left the study,


    Could there really be a woman as good-natured as she was?


    She looked so well-behaved ;c.;SNT? docile that she seemed to be faking it. It felt unreal to him.


    The steam from the sobering drink shook him out of his trance.


    He did not refuse Ruby because of Avery''s warning during the day. He refused her because the doctor


    had called him and reminded him to go for a follow-up body


    checkup tomorrow.


    He felt unsure if the alcohol he had today would affect tomorrow''s results.


    He sat down in his chair and picked up the sobering drink. He took a nce at the tomatoes and bean


    curds in it. Out of the blue, his mind tensed up, and he exhaled violently in pain.


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    Ruby came out of the study, but she did not return to the guest room.


    It was too early. She couldn''t fall asleep. She went to the living room on the first floor.


    The nanny was a little surprised when she saw her.
