"What's wrong? Are you uncomfortable?" With a pout forming, Elissa muttered, "Robin..." Ernest becmotionless, his face betraying no feelings. Was she calling out for Robin? Even in her drunken state, was her mind still occupied by that man? Jealousy surged through Ernest like a tidal wave. Could she be mistaking him for Robin, thinking he was the one who had kissed her? Releasing his hold, Ernest quickly stood up. As he turned to leave, Elissa's voice rose feebly from the couch, pleading, "Go... go away! Leavealone!" She wrapped her arms around herself, her sobs barely audible as she kept repeating, "Go away..." Upon listening intently, Ernest's heart softened, and a smile began to form on his face. He realized he might have judged the situation too quickly. How could Elissa still harbor feelings for such a man? Naturally, she would want nothing but to escape him.
Leaning down, Ernest wrapped his arms around her. In a gentle whisper beside her ear, he said, "He's not here... don't worry. He won't bother you again." Unaware of his comforting words, Elissa drifted off to sleep, tears still trickling down her cheeks. Ernest let out a gentle sigh, pressing his lips to hers once more. As their lips touched gently, she slowly relaxed, drifting off into a serene sleep.
