Chapter 31 The long lost nickname rang out , and Aveline seemed to be stunned , maintaining that posture and forgetting to react . He didnt know how much he had drunk to get so drunk , as if the two of them had never had a disagreement before, he habitually hugged Aveline . Being held in his arms , Aveline felt the familiar and warm embrace of the man , which was a great shock to her . She tried to maintain her composure and reached out to push him away , but Alexander held her hand and kissed it . His lips , full of warmth, gently brushed against the back of her hand , murmuring , Dear , where did you go ? Ive been looking for you for so long . Unable to hold back , tears fell from Avelines eyes . It seemed that all the tears of her life had dried up in this year . She forced herself to hold back the sadness and asked , Didnt you push me away yourself ? Nonsense . Alexander held her even tighter , his lips with a hint of alcohol landed on her earlobe . The person I love the most in my life is you . How could I bear to push you away ? Aveline pushed him away and asked , Alexander , take a good look at who I am . The room was dark , the curtains were not drawn , and the faint light from the yard fell on her face . Alexander saw the glistening tears in the corners of her eyes . Dear , are you confused from sleep ? He bent down , kissing away her tears one by one , whispering , Aveline , dont cry . Who bullied you ? Hubby will help you beat him to death ! Although his words were childish , they made Aveline cry even harder . She didnt know how much he had drunk to become like this . If he had even a bit of sobriety , he wouldnt forget his hatred , let alone speak to her in such a childish manner . Chapter 31 Aveline buried her head in his embrace , sniffed , and tremblingly asked , Alexander , what would you do if I died ? Nonsense , how could you die ? People die , its a part of life . No one can escape from birth , aging , sickness , and death . Then Ill die with you , sleep together , and be buried together . Aveline tightly held onto his shirt , with a helpless smile on her lips . Youre just talking nonsense . Im afraid that as soon as I die , youll immediately celebrate by marrying someone else . As soon as Alexander heard this , he became displeased and quickly sat up , holding her hand and placing it on his chest . With no fabric to cover it , his firm and elastic skin pressed against her palm. Thump , thump , thump . His heart was beating fast , like a drum . From above , Alexander , with a hint of alcohol , said very seriously , Can you hear it ? It beats for you . If you die , it will die too . Aveline nodded with tears in her eyes . I can hear it . The mans palm slowly landed on her waist , startling Aveline , and Alexanders body also pressed against her . With a kiss carrying the scent of alcohol on her ear , even his usual coldness disappeared completely . Aveline , lets have a child . A child … Avelines tears flowed even more . Feeling her trembling body , Alexander was frightened and hurriedly wiped away her tears . Aveline , dont cry . Forget it . I dont want a child anymore . I just want you to be well, dont cry . He held her tightly in his arms , feeling Avelines trembling body , patiently comforting her over and over again . Aveline tightly held onto his clothes , pressed her head against his chest , her tears moistening his shirt . She softly called his name , Alexander , Alexander … 23.31 Five-year-old Annie, who can understand animals, saved Landon Hawthorne, a wealthy businessman, from suicide.
