Chapter 649 She Was Not Happy
After hearing the reassurnce, Iris was relieved.
In the evening, the three of them had dinner in a high-end private restaurant nearby.
Evelyn and her mother didn't mention that they met Charlotte at the coffee shop in the afternoon.
In their opinion, this problem was actually very difficult to resolve.
If she told Marty, it would be hard for him to be in the middle of both sides, and in truth, there was nothing beneficial about it.
Therefore, it was better not to tell him.
Anyway, they did not do anything wrong, so they were not afraid to be confronted.
As long as she had a clear conscience.
As for Charlotte, it would be best if her attitude could change over time.
If she had to maintain such hostility towards Evelyn, there was nothing really she could do.
After all, she couldn't always put up with someone who gave her a cold shoulder.
It was unknown whether this method could really improve the relationship between the two.
But when it came to fawning over others, Evelyn might not be able to do it.
Therefore, both of them didn't think they should tell him about the incident.
Little did she know that someone else had already beat them to telling Marty about it.
While they were eating, Marty's cell phone buzzed.
Picking up the phone, he saw that it was a text message from Charlotte.
The name he had for Charlotte on his phone was 'Mother.'
On the screen of the mobile phone, there was a text message from 'Mother.' Although there were not many words, the tone was obviously not friendly.
'Are you with that woman now?'
While he was reading the text message, Marty couldn't help but frown.
When he looked up at Evelyn and Iris, he noticed they were happily talking and laughing as they ate.
They were talking about interesting things that had happened in the past, so they didn't pay attention to him at all.
Hence, Marty quickly sent a message to Charlotte.
'What's wrong?'
It didn't take long for Charlotte to send it back.
"I met her and her mother in the cafe today. What's the matter? It's not enough for you to support her alone, so now you have to take care of her mother as well, right? Do they think you are stupid or they are really treating you like a sucker? Do they think your money can be cheated so easily?"
Suddenly, Marty's expression darkened.
Perhaps it was because of the change in his expression, his body language had changed as well.
All of a sudden, Evelyn felt that there was something wrong with him.
As soon as she turned around, she noticed he looked solemn, and he was staring at the mobile phone with his fingers typing away on the screen.
Raising her eyebrows, she asked curiously, "What are you doing?"
But, Marty didn't say anything. After replying to the text message, he looked up at her.
The malicious look in his eyes instantly softened.
Putting the phone away as if nothing had happened, he smiled gently.
"Nothing."
But Evelyn frowned.
As she knew Marty very well, she wouldn't have been mistaken about his sudden mood change earlier.
What happened?
However, since Marty hadn't spoken out in front of her mother, she wouldn't pursue the matter.
Although he didn't seem to follow any rules, in truth, he had his own way of handling things.
So she believed in him.
Thus, Evelyn did not ask any more questions. Instead, she placed the food on his plate.
"Don't play with your cell phone when you eat. Try this dish."
Obediently, Marty picked up his fork and started to eat.
Looking at him, Iris said with a gentle smile, "Marty is always busy with work. Evelyn, as his wife, you should take care of him."
Hearing that, Evelyn laughed.
"Mom, I can't do that. If he is busy, I am busy too. Besides, this era is not the same as yours. Women can support the family too. Since I don't need him to take care of me, why do I have to take care of him?"
When Marty heard this, he didn't dare to say a word.
Immediately, he nodded in agreement.
"Yes, yes. I can take care of myself. Evelyn likes acting. So let her do what she likes."
Looking at them, Iris felt grateful and at the same time, she felt sorry.
Then, she shook her head while smiling.
"That's not true. I know you youngsters like to work hard. But when you are old, you will realize that your career and your dreams are vain. The most important thing is actually the people who are with you."
Suddenly, something came into her mind, and she sighed again.
"Back then, her father and I loved each other very much. But because he died at such a young age, so..."
Hearing that, Evelyn was unwilling to hear the topic of her father's death on such occasion.
So she reminded. "Mom..."
Coming to her senses, Iris forced a smile. "I'm sorry, I lost my composure."
When he saw this, Marty's expression turned solemn as well.
In a serious tone, he said, "Mom, don't worry. I will take good care of Evelyn and will make sure she is fine. We will grow old together. But, you should also pay attention to your health, so you can help us take care of our grandchildren in the future."
As soon as he finished his words, Iris was immediately overjoyed.
"Grandchildren? Then it's a good thing."
Hearing Marty's words, Evelyn glared at him while blushing.
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Who agreed to have a baby with him?
Grandchildren?
With a smile, Marty didn't say anything.
The gloomy atmosphere was resolved in an instant, and it had became relaxed.
On the other end, Charlotte looked at the last message sent by Marty on the phone, and her face immediately turned sour.
On the screen of the mobile phone, there was a message from Marty, which said,
'She is my wife, and we will support and love each other for the rest of our lives, just like you and daddy. Since you are a woman as well, I hope you can try putting yourself in her shoes, and think if grandma treated you like how you are treating her now, what would you think?'
In the eyes of Charlotte, the fact that her son actually questioned her in such a serious manner, had made her extremely angry.
But this was not the only thing that made her angry.
Most importantly, about what he said, if grandma had been hard on her back then...
Humph! Even if she wanted to be put in a difficult position, did they have the courage?
At that time, she was not the one who was being unreasonable!
It was the Blaine family!
To support and love each other?
Charlotte had been married to this family for decades, but since when had she ever receive the love and support?
What kind of love she received?
Her husband had slept beside her every night, but there was another woman in his heart.
In the past, she also thought that as long as she behaved herself, and with enough patience everything would change.
Then, he would return to her side, not only physically but emotionally as well.
But the fact told her that it was impossible!
He always held that person in his heart, as if she had become an inseparable part of his body. Hence, how could he really care about her and love her?
Outsiders could only see her glory of being the daughter-in-law of the Blaine family.
But no one could see the tears she silently shed behind.
Everyone around her thought that she was very happy.
Her husband seemed to take good care of the family, and he was also very kind to her.
