Chapter 1406Grace came back from the company. It was already 9:30 p.m. Her work was not going well. She made some mistakes and was severely criticized.She was a high-profile person and attracted a lot of attention in the company.The other employees in the office looked at her with hatred.Grace was rarely scolded. They secretly sneered at her.Those talented, good-looking people wouldn't be envious of others or laugh at others.Grace's colleagues hated her just because of jealousy.Grace ignored them.She was in a fret. She always had painful periods. She fidgeted in her chair with a pale face."Damn it!"Grace kicked off her high heels, stepping on the floor with bare feet. Her legs were slender and sexy.She casually brushed her curly hair back, took the shower gel, and walked into the bathroom.She liked to bathe.When the warm water fell on her, it took away her fatigue in an instant.She thought that she looked sexy in the water, just like a mermaid.Grace usuall
Chapter 1407The sound of footsteps came from outside.Immediately after that, Charlie walked in.He pulled open his suit jacket. Seeing Mckenzie, Charlie knitted his handsome eyebrows, walked over, and squatted in front of her. "Mom, what happened to your leg?"Mckenzie patted the back of his hand, consoling him that there was nothing seriously wrong with it.She then told him what had happened just now."If my leg were good and I could move, I would never ask Grace to go to the restaurant to help. But I had an accident. I've made it clear. You can discuss what to do next with Grace."Charlie narrowed his eyes, chuckled, and hugged Mckenzie. "Mom, you've worked hard for so many years in the restaurant. Whenever I asked you to rest, you refused. Now I'm relieved that you can take a break from the restaurant stuff. Of course, I am not gloating.""Do you think I don't want to rest? But how can I rest?"Grace is not a qualified wife. She can't have children or help with the work
Chapter 1408"So you've already thought of these before?"Grace gently poked him in the chest with her finger."Do you know I've never even been in a kitchen before? Your mom asked me to make the dressing. I don't even know what the pot looks like. She's killing me!"Do you know I'll go crazy if I stay there for a few months with fumes and fire?"Since her voice was a little loud and she was emotional, her spittle hit Charlie's face.He reached out to wipe his face.However, Grace noticed it. "So you hate my saliva?""I just want to spread it evenly."Charlie quickly smiled at her, his eyes crinkling, while he wiped his face with his big hand. "It can make my face smooth!"Grace was amused, pushing him. "Stop joking. I'm serious. I can't get into the kitchen.""Grace, do you know how I felt when I heard what Mom said just now?"Charlie gazed deeply into her eyes. "I was elated."Grace looked at him confusedly."The restaurant's dressing is a secret recipe handed down from
Chapter 1409"It's late. Get up quickly. Mom is waiting for you in the living room. I've called your president."She hadn't slept enough. It was Saturday, but she couldn't even have a lie-in!Grace squinted, rolled over, and closed her eyes. "Let me sleep a little longer."Charlie resignedly pinched his brow. "Get up now. Otherwise, I'll play my ace!"Grace ignored it.She was used to having two days off a week. It was hard for her to get up early on Saturday.Charlie could only scratch her armpit. Grace was very ticklish. She couldn't resist chuckling and finally surrendered in tears. "Alright, I'll get up.""I'll go to the company first."Charlie stood up and left the purse on the table.Grace sat up, nodded, and casually tied up her curly hair. "Be careful on the way. I'm going to the bathroom."When Grace came out of the bathroom, it was almost an hour later.She had cleaned up and made herself up.She wore a tight black shirt with a boat neck, a white skirt that revea
Chapter 1410Grace had never set foot in the kitchen since she was a child, not to mention putting a name to any of the ingredients.She stood there in a daze.This gave Mckenzie a headache. She wheeled herself over, pointing at the ingredients while telling Grace their names and what to do.It was indeed inconvenient for Grace to walk up and down on high heels.And the marble floor was smooth. She accidentally slipped and knelt on the ground. Her beautiful face was contorted.Grace scrambled to her feet, secretly cursing. She knew her knees must have been hurt seriously because of the sharp pain.Mckenzie didn't want to say anything else, gripping her wheelchair. She had an impulse to rush over.Putting the ingredients into the pot was just a start. She must keep stirring them.Although Grace was tall, her arms and legs were thin. Just after she stirred for a while, her strength failed her."Go on. The coals are burning. If you stop stirring, the dressing can't be heated eve
Chapter 1411Mckenzie passed a pestle to Grace, telling Grace silently that she was serious.Grace paused for a while, but thinking of Charlie, she finally reached out and took it.She didn't feel anything wrong at first. Gradually, her palms became hot, and the spicy smell made her cough all the time. Her back and waist were sore. In short, it was torture for her.Grace's patience was running out.Mckenzie was not in the kitchen. Grace kicked over a basket. After venting her annoyance, she continued to mash the ingredients.She was busy until the evening.As night fell, the lights came on. Grace finally finished mashing the ingredients in the pot.She slowly stood up with a hand on her hip. Her waist was painful as if sprained.She couldn't even drive, so she stopped a cab and went back to the villa.The maid helped her into the room. She kicked off her high heels and collapsed into the soft bed.Mckenzie was still busy in the restaurant. As she was wheeled by the waiter in
Chapter 1412She had worked in the restaurant for decades, doing the same things every day, but never complained to Charlie.Hearing the voice, Grace moved.Getting out of Charlie's arms, she said, "Mckenzie, you're back."Mckenzie grunted. Her attitude was neither cold nor warm. She sounded a little dissatisfied.Grace was aware of it but ignored it, raising her slender eyebrows.The three of them gathered around the table to eat dinner.Grace filled a bowl with porridge and put some pancakes in front of her. She ate without even raising her head.Charlie gazed at her face, curving his thin lips slightly. "Why is your appetite so good today?""I'm just hungry."Grace raised her delicate eyebrows.She did a lot of physical jobs today. Naturally, she was hungry."Grace performed quite well today. You didn't give up halfway, but don't dress like that or wear high heels tomorrow."Mckenzie was tactful.Hearing the first sentence, Grace looked calm and even smiled.However,
Chapter 1413Charlie resignedly rubbed his eyebrows. "Yes, you're right.""I can only try my best to do what I've promised. I won't hide what I can't do or cheat.""Alright. Take a bath first. I'll settle it, okay?""You don't have to force yourself or think of a way for me. Just tell Mckenzie what I just said and see what she plans to do.""Leave it to me, and remember to run me a bath."Charlie kissed her cheek and hugged her....Charlie was a little thirsty and went downstairs to get some water.Mckenzie was still sitting on the couch in the living room, watching TV."Mom, why don't you go to bed?"He took a sip of water."Now that Grace has agreed to help you, you shouldn't push her. It's not easy for her to compromise. If you still put pressure on her, she may be annoyed.""I won't give in. I'm old. I don't have much time to manage the restaurant. She has to take it over in the future unless she's not your wife. Then there will no longer be such a problem."Mckenzie
