Chapter 1545


    "Yeah. We came here to take care of something.”


    "Okay. I''ll wait for your call once you are done."


    "Sure. Go get some rest. | don''t think you will need to wait up for Ben. Your brother asked for my permission to drink so I''m


    guessing Ben is asking him out for a drink. "


    Lilith could not help but chuckle. "My brother acts that lowly before you?"


    “Not lowly. Respectful. | will get angry if hees home stinking of booze without telling me ahead of time."


    “Avery, you are really sessful in training my brother." "| would tell him, too, if I''m heading out thiste."


    Avery had juste out of the shower and only sobered for a few minutes, before feeling sleepy again as she sat down on the


    bed. After hanging up, sheid down to sleep without even bothering to turn off the lights.


    In the restaurant, Elliot took Ben''s face mask off. The bruises on Ben''s face were still visible and he looked slightly defeated.


    "Can you even drink like this?" Elliot asked.


    "It doesn''t hurt anymore so I''ve stopped taking painkillers. | can drink." Ben poured a ss for Elliot. "Your leg must have


    recovered, right? Avery wouldn''t have let you travel this far otherwise."


    "Yeah. | told her that | will be drinking." "And she said yes?" "Yeah.” "Oh? Since when has she be so forgiving? | thought


    that you can only drink in secret!" Ben poured the wine and clicked sses with him.


    "Why would you think that works? She will be able to tell from the scent if I''ve drunk."


    “Hahaha! And you wereparing me to an old tree that has been alone for centuries! Just look at how obedient you are! | can


    drink whenever | want. There''s


    no one there to tell me, no, and | won''t have to report to anyone,” Ben mocked.


    Elliot took a sip of wine. "I thought you were stuck in a situation where you can''t find someone to discipline you even if you


    wanted it?”


    “Haha. A woman is disciplining you and you are proud of it?" "If | get drunk, my wife will take care of me when | get back. Of


    course, I''m proud of it."


    Ben fell silent.


    After a few sses, the two started opening up.


    “Elliot, | feel like I''ve been so stupid. | don''t dare to talk to anyone else but you about this..."


    "What about?"


    "| thought that so long as | wait for


    Chelsea, she would eventually marry


    me. | had been wrong for over a


    decade." Ben picked up the wine

    might have lived my share in this


    world, but I''m not even as smart as


    Lilith." "Chelsea is dead. Why are you


    still talking about her?" "Because |


    don''t want to repeat my mistake. If |


    go after Lilith and she keeps me on


    the hook, | should stop while | still


    can." Ben''s eyes reddened. "| don''t


    have that many decades left in me."
