“Also, you can’t drink alcohol if you can’t sleep, but drinking milk can help you fall asleep.”
“If necessary, I would stay here until you stopped your drinking problem.”
Evelyn almost didn’t react. This was the first time she had seen Marques talk so much. When she came to her senses, Evelyn’s eyes were red.
Seeing her like this, Marques immediately stopped his incessant chatter, softened his tone several notches, and cautiously began to speak.
“Yes, I’m sorry Evelyn, did I say something that hurt you?”
Evelyn shook her head, unable to control the surge of tears. She watched as Marques frantically searched for paper, and she couldn’t help but laugh through her tears.
“No, Marques, I didn’t blame you.

“I just felt like I didn’t know any better.
“The one who actually should have been taken care of more is my mom.”
“She suffered much more than I did in her heart.”
One of the reasons for Evelyn’s insomnia was because of this.

Chapter 18
Today is Josie’s death anniversary. That’s why Evelyn decided to drown her sorrows in alcohol.
After listening to Evelyn, Marques‘ expression became somewhat serious.
“Your mother’s condition is very likely depression.”
“If left unchecked, the consequences would be very serious.”
Evelyn immediately panicked, “So, is there a way?”
Marques nodded and took out his certificate as a mental health counselor.
“If you trusted me, you could let me try.”
After being comforted by Marques, Evelyn’s eyes lit up.
After she left with the milk, Marques’s mother, Cindy Whitney, walked out from the side and couldn’t help but tease her son, who hadn’t taken his eyes off the back of the person who had just left.
“Didn’t you say these certificates were useless? The other day, I spent the whole night at home just waiting here
Marques was calm and composed, “At least I was able to help Madam Finchum, right?”

Madam Whitney looked at her son, wanting to start a conversation, but was blocked by Evelyn’s eager questions. She couldn’t help but burst into laughter
She nudged Tessa with her elbow and said, “My son finally met his match.”
Tessa looked at her friend’s indifferent attitude towards the commotion, feeling a bit helpless. She let out a small sigh.
“If you really care about your son, let him stop worrying about this
sooner.”
“There is no one who knows a woman better than her mother. Evelyn, in this lifetime, probably will never give her heart away.”
