"Gordon." When she saw the other party, Elaine's first reaction was to cover her face: "Oh, Gordon...you, why are you here?"
"I just came out of the nightclub after drinking and saw you running like a whirlwind on the street. I knew there was a good show to watch, so I followed." The other party replied: "No, I saw a good show."
"Ouch——" This is probably not the most embarrassing moment in Elaine's life.
Not only was the other party seeing him crying, but Gordon also found out that Bailey was Leo's biological son - now Gordon mistakenly thought that Elaine was Leo Porter, so he thought that Bailey was Elaine.
's biological son.
"Huhuhu... Needless to say, we are all men and we all understand." Sir Gordon smiled and said: "The world is really small, isn't it? The people of your tribe who were rescued from the slave market are just right.
That’s your son. For the playboy Mr. Leo, this kind of thing has happened before."
"Indeed, it is indeed just a coincidence." Elaine said depressedly. Of course, he was actually very happy in his heart, after all, he had really found Leo's son. But now he couldn't show his happiness, after all, Gordon completely misunderstood this.
Everything made Elaine super embarrassed...
"So, what are you going to do?" Gordon suppressed his laughter and asked again: "Just take the child back and raise it? Leave it to the orphanage? Or... put all these annoying things behind you,
Come have a drink with me?"
(Why is the last option not the solution to the problem at all?)
However, Elaine suddenly really wanted to have a drink. It was not to drown her sorrows, but to celebrate.
Of course, Elaine didn't know how bad his drinking ability was, nor how bad his drinking was. Only Seifer and others knew about the last time he got drunk and went crazy. They didn't explain it to Elaine.
, maybe it was too hard to talk about. Seifer only warned Elaine not to drink in the future, and he didn’t even explain the reason clearly.
But Elaine thought that drinking some beer to celebrate this time would not be a big problem.
It’s not a big problem—?
"Oh hahaha, oh hahaha!!" A few minutes later, Elaine, who had half a glass of beer, started to go crazy. She sat there and giggled: "Here comes the wine! Comes the wine! If you don't get drunk tonight, you won't get home!!"
"Come on, come on, drink more." Gordon thought Elaine was so normal, and was still pouring wine for the White Lion boy. Next to him was a large group of young ladies, and on the sofa next to him were several other knights.
The knight was also surrounded by a large group of young ladies. This place was naturally a bar, and it was also a sexy little bar with escort girls serving.
Elaine thought it was just beer, but in fact, what Gordon poured into him was whiskey. The White Lion boy picked up the quilt and drank it all in one gulp, and then started to spin——
After an unknown amount of time, Elaine climbed up holding his head that was so painful that it almost split open, and found himself lying on the sofa covered in sticky matter. It was almost pitch black around him, but he could vaguely see the figures of some men and women.
"Oh... strong man..." Sir Gordon whispered beside him: "You are still as fierce as before... Oh, my waist hurts so much, my waist..."
Then Elaine felt more pain in her lower body than a headache, and there were traces of use before and after. Oh my God.
"Why, why is this happening..." he asked in shock.
"Why? You started to make a fuss after drinking some wine, that's all." Gordon replied: "Hey, you are so crazy, Mr. Leoport. After having sex with everyone present, it's not enough.
You have to go outside the bar and call the girls on the street in for the second and third rounds. Hahaha, are you really not tired?"
(…oh my god!)
"Ouch..." Elaine got up from the sofa, hurriedly put on her coat, and tried to walk out.
"Where do you want to go? The night is still long, let's take a break and then do the third round."
"No, don't!" the white lion boy said angrily.
"Why? You obviously still enjoy it——"
"I, I'm just drunk." Elaine gradually understood why she was angry: "This, this kind of thing, it is still impossible without love."
"What are you talking about? You're obviously just out for fun, so why don't you just have fun?"
"Goodbye, Mr. Gordon." Elaine hummed, turned and left.
After coming out of the back door of the bar, his whole body ached. Mainly muscle aches, and of course he also had a severe headache. He regretted the stupid things he had done and decided not to drink alcohol in the future.
Did Leo come out with this kind of mood before?... No, Leo has a mission and has to try to continue the bloodline of the Soris royal family. Maybe he doesn't want to do this at all. Maybe he is very
Pain. And Elaine, even if it was just drunken sex, he did something irreversible. Among the stupid things he has done that will make him regret his whole life, this incident can definitely be ranked in the top ten.
He covered his head with hands that had a faint fishy smell. He wished he could jump into the river and wash himself off, and wash off the dirt on his body. It was best to wash off such a dirty thing himself.
"Are you okay?" a voice asked.
Elaine turned her head and looked at the person who spoke. It was Fantine. The white rabbit girl stood there upright, as if waiting for Elaine.
The more she behaves like this, the more uncomfortable Elaine becomes.
"Why, why are you here..." he asked.
"You may not know this, but a girl who is accompanying the bartender in this bar is my good sister. She called me and told me that there was a white lion in the bar who was going crazy with alcohol and called many bartenders and him at one go.
Let's sleep together. She asked me if I wanted to come and play. I didn't agree, but I immediately knew it was you after hearing her description, so I came over... Well, let's see the excitement."
(Damn——)
"So, did you have fun?" Fantine asked with a smile, but there was a haze under the smile: "When you play with me, you are done in ten minutes. When you play with a large group of people, you fool around round after round."
Are you that kind of... depraved person?"
"Drink, just drunk." Elaine looked at Fantine with an embarrassed look: "After I got drunk, I became crazy for no reason..."
Fantine's expression changed subtly, as if she had forgiven Elaine somewhere in her heart.
"So... you still need something to be brave." The white rabbit girl smiled and said: "It's just that [that something] is not medicine, but alcohol. I understand. I'll go to the convenience store to buy some alcohol. If you
If you still have the energy to continue, come to my house. Maybe you can do it again."
Elaine was stunned for a moment and did not respond. When Fantine turned around and wanted to leave, he suddenly stopped her: "Wait a minute."
"Hmm? Is there anything else? Do you want to specify the type of wine?"
"No..." The white lion boy finally plucked up the courage and said, "Yes, I'm sorry, Miss Fantine. As expected, it's better to cancel the transaction. I won't take the money I paid you, I'll give it all to you."
"I'm very grateful for this. But can you tell me why? I didn't serve you attentively enough?"
"No...I, I finally understand. This kind of thing...without love is really not possible." Elaine shook her head painfully and said: "When you are drunk and do it with them, you can indeed feel short-term happiness.
. But that, that is venting, following biological instinct, and yes, it is a behavior like a beast. If we keep doing that, sure enough, we will be no different from wild beasts. Sure enough, doing this requires love, needs
Choose the right partner. Do it without love... We will degenerate into beasts, not even humans."
Fantine looked at him blankly.
"You are so funny, Mr. Elaine." She whispered: "In this city that never sleeps where everyone voluntarily degenerates into beasts, you are the first and probably the only person who would say such a thing.
.Even if you are right, if your words reach the ears of anyone in the city, I am afraid it will be a huge offense to them."
"I, I don't mean that... I don't mean to despise them." Elaine replied painfully: "I, I just, am tired of being a beast and want to be a human being."
Fantine smiled and said nothing.
This city is full of prostitutes. The vast majority of women do this just to survive. They have no other choice. Elaine's words "It's impossible without love" probably completely negate their lives.
Nevertheless, what must be done must be done, otherwise you will starve to death. Everything is excusable in order to survive - most people in the world think so, and continue to live shamelessly.
"I used to hate this kind of thing. I thought women should rely on their own hands to survive. Even if they do the heaviest labor, they should not sell their bodies." She whispered:
"However, since I came to Rabuel, the city that never sleeps, and saw the men wandering on the streets, those people with troubled faces, I gradually saw through it." She said: "I may be shameless to say this. But
This is also true. Not everyone in the world is so lucky to love or be loved.
[It’s impossible without love] - It’s true. But what about those people in the world who never get love in their lives? What should they do?
——You don’t deserve to have either true love or false love. Are you going to live like a zombie and then die alone?”
"Fang, Miss Fantine..."
"People in this industry don't just sell their bodies, we also sell their tenderness." She said: "If this tenderness can save some people who have no love, I think it is worth it."
Elaine was silent. He once thought that the love in his heart had died, and he could no longer love or care about anyone. But even in this situation, would anyone still be willing to lend him some tenderness?
She was a good girl. Even though she was born in the wrong era, in the wrong identity, at the wrong low point, she was still a good girl.
In contrast, Elaine, who had lived a life of ups and downs, was defeated time and time again, and was unable to recover, could not help but feel ashamed.
"Come on, Mr. Elaine." She said: "Nonetheless, you should take a bath. I'll also lend you my bed. Instead of doing those nasty things, you look exhausted.
You should have a good sleep."
"I..." Elaine originally wanted to say that he was going back to the hotel to sleep. But he was really afraid that his dirty and desolate look would be seen by his companions in the hotel, especially Bailey.
"Okay, okay." So he didn't refuse and followed Fantine. It was as if he was going to take refuge.
Ten minutes later, Elaine was lying on the sofa after washing.
"Are you sure you can just sleep on the sofa?" Fantine took the quilt over and asked.
"Yeah." The white lion boy replied. At this time, his whole body was sore: "Let me sleep on the bed, it's not worth it."
"Unexpectedly, he is a gentleman." Fantine laughed and threw the quilt on Elaine: "Then, have a good rest. We can wait until tomorrow morning to talk about anything."
"No, I still have tasks tonight. Do you have an alarm clock? If not, wake me up around one-thirty?"
"You actually have a mission? It's really hard work." Fantine brought over a glass of hot milk: "I understand, I'll wake you up then. Good night."
Then she put down the glass of hot milk, kissed Elaine gently on the forehead, and then walked away to do her own thing.
Elaine was stunned for a while, and still blushed when she picked up the hot milk and drank it. What did the kiss just mean?
But she was so tired. Her whole body ached. Elaine didn't want to worry too much, so she quickly drank up the milk and lay down to sleep. She was going to go on a mission with the group of blue rose knights tonight, and there would definitely be another fierce fight.
If you don't take a good rest now, your body will not be able to hold on.
He really wanted to go back to find Bailey right now, hold the child tightly and love him as his own son. But he knew that he couldn't do it now. Even after taking a shower, he still felt extremely dirty all over his body.
He will definitely be disliked by the child for being dirty.
But when is it not considered dirty? How can we not be dirty? Should we take more showers or disinfect our whole body several times? Should we forget those dirty thoughts and memories as time goes by, or should we start from now on?
From now on, you will not touch anything dirty and become a saint completely?
No matter how you think about it, nothing feels right.
Elaine was confused and guilty at the same time. Tormented by this complicated mentality, Elaine gradually became more and more sleepy, and finally fell into a drowsy sleep.
