With that, Marley turned away! His back was lonely and stiff.
Miriam was lost for words.
Facing the sudden changes, Marley quickly calmed down. “Mom, take a rest first!"
"Don't worry about me. I’m alright! I'm not so vulnerable!" Miriam straightened her back and walked out of the study.
"Mom, I'll be with you!" Sylvie said with concern.
"Don't follow me. Please, leave me alone!" Waving her hand, she went back to her room.
There were only three people in the room. Marley, Sylvie, and Ernie!
"That's why you've been muddling along over the years?" Marley looked at Ernie and asked.
Ernie, who was at a loss, was also stunned. Indeed, he didn't expect this. He always thought that Evie cheated on Kasper, and he always felt pity for Kasper and Elinor, but they didn't expect Aiden to have an affair with Evie!
Ernie, who was originally in a bad mood, was depressed after hearing the news. He looked at the eyes of Sylvie with a kind of thoughtful examination and looked at Marley. "This is why I always want to break you and Sylvie up because I don't want Sylvie to be a poor woman like your mother one day! I am afraid of Sylvie being cheated! Your marriage is a mistake!"
Sylvie’s eyes changed slightly, and a complex emotion flashed through her eyes.
Ernie frowned slowly, and looked closely at Sylvie, as if he wanted to explore something from there.
Ignoring him, Marley suddenly said, "I know a little better than you, and I am always responsible for my life. Well, because of other people's mistakes, you always punish yourself! It's not really maturity! Sylvie will be happy. You don't have to worry about it!"
Miriam never expected that the man she loved, Aiden would have children with his sister-in-law. She thought that they were deeply in love with each other and they were the couple that everyone envied. But who would know that the husband who she thought was devoted was a two-timer!
What a joke?!
Miriam smiled bitterly, thinking that Aiden had been hiding it from her for thirty years!
“Evie, you looked noble and elegant, but I can’t believe you have an affair with others!” And what about herself? Because of this marriage, she split Aiden and Evie!
What a joke!
Sylvie, who was worried about Miriam, had been keeping an eye on Miriam's door, but there was no sounds from inside the door.
Aiden went after Evie, and Marley was left alone. Ernie fell into meditation. Marley was as shocked as his mother. He felt cheated. His respected father, however, had an affair with his aunt for so many years. Although they were lovers many years ago, he married his mother. Without divorcing, he cheated on his mother, which was unacceptable for Marley!
When Sylvie looked at Miriam's door countless times, Marley could not bear it, and walked to his mother's door and knocked at the door.
For a long time, Miriam’s voice came from the door, "Don't worry about me. I'm fine!"
Sylvie was also at the door. Hearing Miriam’s voice, she felt somewhat helpless. She sighed and said, "Mom, I am Sylvie. Can I go in and be with you for a while?"
There was no movement, no movement for a long time.
Sylvie and Marley looked at each other, helpless.
At this time, there was another voice from Miriam, "Sylvie, good girl. Go downstairs. Today I just want to be alone for a while. Don’t worry, I won't do anything stupid. It’s not worth it for such a person! Ask Aiden to see me when he comes back!"
"Mom! Are you really OK? " asked Marley anxiously.

the writing is quite childish, but maybe it's just the translations...
