During this period, Jerome visited her house every day, gleefully engaging in remote-control battles with Daisy over the TV.
However, whenever Carl returned, Jerome seemed to become fragile and delicate.
One evening, citing a melancholic mood, Jerome suggested to Vivian that they should go to a bar.
Vivian couldn't fathom where he picked up such a habit; whenever he felt down, he insisted on drinking.
Remembering Jerome's drunken state last time, Vivian promptly declined his invitation without hesitation.
Undeterred, Jerome resorted to plan B and persistently persuaded her to accept two bottles of beer, claiming he wanted to drown his sorrows.
It was quite ambitious of Jerome to think two bottles of beer would suffice to get him drunk.
To Vivian's astonishment, Jerome indeed managed to fulfill his dream of getting completely intoxicated.
Seeing Jerome sprawled across the table after merely half a can of beer, Vivian found it hard to believe.
