Chapter 959 I Don't Know How to Weigh It

Grace's casual remark struck a chord with Evelyn, and she couldn't help but find it amusing. "Do I really show it that

clearly?" she wondered aloud.

Taking the drinks menu from the waiter, Grace nodded in agreement. "It's not that you're showing it explicitly, but

the only one who can affect your mood that way is your husband," she remarked.

Evelyn was speechless. It seemed that... it was true.

"What would you like to drink? Beer, red wine, or cocktails?"

"Whiskey," replied Evelyn, nearly startling Grace with her answer.

"What?" Grace rubbed her ear, thinking she had misheard. "Are you planning to get drunk?"

"I'm in a bad mood. Would you like to have a drink with me?"

Grace was not one to back down, so she boldly ordered a bottle of whiskey. "All right then, since we rarely have a

chance to get drunk, I'll gladly risk it all and accompany you."

The drinks arrived quickly, accompanied by a fruit platter. Evelyn put a slice of lemon in her glass and poured a

bottom of whiskey. She raised her glass and toasted with Grace, saying, "Thank you for accompanying me."

Grace replied with a smile, "You're welcome."

The spicy liquid slid down Evelyn's throat. She didn't think it was a good thing when she was in a good mood, but

when she was in a bad mood, she would drink a glass of it to relieve her anxiety.

"But what was the argument about this time?"

Evelyn couldn't hide the depression in her eyes when she recalled their conversation last night. "He took on a risky

case, and I didn't want him to do it. But he felt that he was obligated to step up as a legal professional."

"Is it dangerous?"

"Yes." Evelyn lowered her voice. "It's very dangerous."

"You should talk to him and explain your concerns. Huston should understand. You've been through so much

together, and you shouldn't let this small issue escalate into a real fight." "I told him, but..." At this point, Evelyn was

a little hesitant. She looked down at the wine in the cup, and her heart seemed soaked. "I don't know if I'm right."

Grace knew that Evelyn's heart was wavering again. As a woman, she could understand what she was thinking.

"Actually, both of you are right about this matter. It's just that you have different standpoints and perspectives. I

know you are worried about his safety, and Huston will understand. He won't blame you."

Hearing her words of comfort, Evelyn didn't feel much better. "When I sent Lucas to school today, he said that he

also wanted to be a powerful lawyer like his parents. Grace, I really don't know how to weigh it..."

Deep down, as a wife and mother, Evelyn didn't want Huston to take risks. However, when she thought about the

significance of this matter, she felt selfish and insignificant.

"Evelyn, everyone is selfish. People always prioritize themselves above all else. I know you have a sense of justice,

but I don't want that sense of justice to become a burden, forcing you to make choices you don't like."

Evelyn wanted to make a choice regardless of anything, but if she didn't do anything, wouldn't she feel

uncomfortable after this incident? Even if she didn't, what about Huston?

She understood him too well. He appeared colder and more distant than anyone else, but when handling cases, he

was more passionate and proactive than anyone. Despite his ability to conceal his enthusiasm, Evelyn could still

perceive it because she was the same way.
