It dawned on me why many men died earlier than their wives. Maybe it was because of cigarettes and alcohol.
Tyler had the intention to get himself drunk, so he kept drinking vigorously. Even Theo was drinking a lot.
Tyler sat on the chair, swaying left to right. It was obvious that he was already drunk.
I looked at Theo, realizing that his face was a little flushed and his gaze was a little dazed. Surprisingly, he was drunk too.
I quickly pressed down his hand that was holding the wine bottle and persuaded him gently, "Stop drinking, Theo. It's not good for your body. Listen to me, okay?"
He looked up at me, the smile on the corner of his mouth gradually breaking out. "It's fine."

Theo pursed his lips, ignoring him.
Not only did he ignore him, he even propped up his face with one hand and stared at me as though he was doing it on purpose. He looked like he was admiring me.
I dared not meet his gaze and turned to look at Tyler, asking, "Did you have a fight with Susan? Or did you do something horrible?"
Tyler clicked his tongue and asked with a face full of displeasure, "What do you mean I did something horrible? What sort of horrible things can I possibly do?"
I raised my eyebrows. "Are you sure?"
Tyler fell silent. After a long time, he took a sip of wine and sighed. "Susan wants to leave. What should I do about the baby?"
I was not surprised. I had reminded Tyler to treat Susan well previously, and if he was too stubborn to listen, then Susan would one day leave in disappointment.
