Charlie went to the bar with Mark in the evening. In the bar, Charlie kept drinking.
Mark couldn't stop him. Feeling helpless, he said, "You can't go on like this. You'd better live a normal life."
"What is a normal life? When my father died, he asked me to treat my mother well. Before she passed out, they often argued, but I never supported her. Now she fainted. I'm sorry for her!”
"I got it. But you have to continue with your life..."
"She supported me in everything I did, but I never listened to her. When I went to college, she wanted me to study finance,
but I wanted to study architecture. So I ended up studying architecture. When I wanted to marry Grace, my mother wasn’t satisfied with her. Yet, I ended up marrying her. I didn't take my mother’s side every time she argued with Grace after we got married. I didn't even take my mother's words seriously when she called me and said she didn't feel well before she fainted.
I've always treated her badly."
Charlie really couldn't forgive himself.
Mark narrowed his eyes. Charlie and Mckenzie had a deep bond, but Mark didn't get along well with his mother, Yvette, so he didn't know what to say.
It was already dark. Summer called Mark and said the baby wanted to be with Daddy. Hearing the baby's tender voice, he felt softhearted, so he left after saying goodbye to Charlie.
Charlie drank a lot of wine. When he couldn't drink anymore, he stood up and walked out of the bar.
Bella came to be a part-time hostess in the bar again.
Her family was in urgent need of money. She had no choice but to be a part-time hostess. She had a rather high-paying job in the Morgan Group, but it wasn’t enough for her to support her family.
The man she served was old and randy. Sitting in the lobby of the bar, the man kept harassing her.
Bella really didn't like this, so she pushed his hand away, "Stop. Don't you want to drink? I'll give you a drink!"
