The phone was still next to Ethan's ear,and Ethan just looked at me like that.
After a few seconds,he said to the other end of the phone again,"Can't you be more sensible?Drinking like this every day.Sooner or later,something bad will happen.I don't care about you.I'm going to hug my wife and go to sleep."
Ethan didn't say anything more after that.
I didn't know who hung up the phone first between the two of them.
However,looking at Ethan's furrowed brows,I knew that Ethan's heart wasn't with me at the moment.
I gently stroked Ethan's fingers and tried my best to ask in a gentle voice:
"What happened?Is she drunk?Are you going to pick her up?"
"No,she's in another place.We don't need to care about her."
Ethan said these words as if he was sulking.
Then,as if he suddenly thought of something,he hugged me tightly in his arms.
"Honey,let's go to sleep.It's getting late today."
"Okay."
I replied softly and then turned sideways.
I stopped looking at Ethan and tried my best to ignore the fact that there was another person beside me.
Normally,I should have fallen asleep by this time.
But I don't know why,at this moment,I didn't have the slightest intention of falling asleep.
I didn't know how to measure the relationship between Ethan and Lily.
They were like bickering siblings,or perhaps like a couple who had passed the passionate stage.
Before,I had heard Ethan's friend mention Lily.
At that time,his friend said to me:
"Sister-in-law,don't worry.You're so beautiful,and Brother Ethan definitely likes you.And to be honest,Lily is actually quite ordinary.She's not as good as you at all."
Those words still echoed in my ears at this moment.
But I no longer had the same state of mind as before.
I closed my eyes and forced myself to go to sleep.
In a trance,I felt that the person beside me also seemed unable to fall asleep.
He fumbled for something,and then there was the sound of the door opening and closing.
I knew he had gone to smoke.
He would always go to the bathroom to smoke whenever he was feeling down.
Because I couldn't stand the smell of cigarettes,he promised me to quit smoking.
Even when he was really feeling down,he would just hide and smoke.
Did he not like me?
The answer to this question was definitely no.
I could feel his obvious love for me.
But everything that happened tonight was really right in front of my eyes.
My thoughts were too chaotic,and in my doubts,I fell asleep.
When I woke up,it was still dark outside.
I looked at the person beside me who was already sound asleep and tried my best to trace his features with my eyes.
I didn't stop until my eyes were really sore.
His phone was placed beside him.When my hand touched the cold phone,I shivered a bit.
I knew his phone password.He had always been sincere to me.
I understood his feelings,so I had never had the idea of checking his phone before.
However,at this moment,with the phone in front of me,I wavered.
