After breakfast, Alice felt that her face was still burning from embarrassment and her heart was still beating wildly.
After Henrick left, her mind was filled with memories of what had happened the previous night. She couldn't remember what had happened before, but right then, things were getting clearer and clearer.
The clearer the memories were, the more shy she became, and the more she wanted to hit herself.
Looking at the breakfast that had been devoured by her, she felt that she was hopeless.
She didn't know if what Henrick had said last night was true or not. She only remembered that he had cried so hard back then.
Did he cry for her?
She still remembered what he said. "Allie, you used to wait for me. I'll wait for you in the future, okay?" He seemed to say this in a particularly gentle voice.
Although she couldn't remember it clearly, it was almost impossible to mistake it.
"Ah ah..." Alice leaned on the table and hit it hard. She was crazy. She was going to go crazy.
It was too embarrassing. How could her alcohol tolerance be so bad?
How could she cry in his arms for so long? How could she say those words to him?
Alice, you're really out of your mind!
You've absolutely lost your mind!
You once told Henrick that you wouldn't pester him anymore. Yet, it wasn't long before you cried in his arms and begged him to live with you.
Alice was filled with regret.
All of a sudden, she stopped, narrowed her beautiful eyes, and said to herself, "Hmph! Why should I be shy? I'll let Henrick know what I've suffered in the past."
Alice kept steeling herself for it and cheering for herself.
Marlon watched his mother at the door, seeing that she was muttering to herself like she had gone crazy. He frowned and his big bright eyes were full of doubts.
Why was the world of adults so complicated?
He walked in and stood in front of his mother.
Alice was immersed in her shame and regret. When her son came to her, she didn't even notice him.
"Mom, you haven't washed up yet, have you?"
Her son's voice stunned her. She looked at Marlon, blinked her eyes, and asked in disbelief, "Son, when did you come in?"
Marlon said, "I've been here for a long time. Mom, what are you doing? You've gone crazy."
Alice was lost for words. It's not a big deal to lose face in front of Henrick, but did she want to lose face in front of her son?
Alice lowered her head like a coward, not daring to look at his son.
Marlon sighed, walked over, and held his mother's hand in distress. "Mom, if you're willing, tell me about what happened between you and Dad. Maybe I can help you."
Alice asked, "Son, what can you do for me?"
Marlon answered with a smile, "Mom, are you looking down on me? I'm much smarter than you."
Alice felt that she had been outwitted by her son, but she didn't quite understand it.
She wasn't as knowledgeable as her own child when it came to kinship.
"Marlon..." Alice choked with sobs. "Yes, I'm sorry for not letting you have a father for so many years."
Marlon shook his head slightly and said, "Mom, it doesn't matter to us whether we have a father or not. The important thing is that you live a happy life."
"Take breakfast this morning for example. Dad knows your tastes, which means that he knows you. After he completely understands you, you will be the happiest woman in the world."
Marlon spoke with a smile. Watching TV, reading books, and listening to audiobooks made him learn a lot.
When a person had reached a certain age, he must work hard for a beautiful future. Learning was essential, and he had to keep up with the times.
If he put down his phone, ignored the games, and read books everyday, his bright future could be expected!
Alice looked at her son as if she didn't recognize him.
When did her son become so smart? Bah! Marlon was indeed very smart.
However, Alice's expression soon darkened. "Marlon, be honest, are you here to speak up for your father?"
Marlon was speechless. No, no, no, no. He was here to speak up for himself.
He smiled and said, "Mom, I've already helped you analyze your situation very clearly. It's up to you now. However, now, I have something to discuss with you. I'm going to pursue my dreams, so Mom, you can't stop me."
Alice's nerves tensed up in an instant. She narrowed her eyes and looked into her son's sly eyes. Her son was so young but she already couldn't see through him.
She asked, "Tell me first, what do you want to do?"
