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
Chapter 1414If Mckenzie had known Hailee was still alive, she would certainly not have agreed to the marriage between Charlie and Grace.Yet now it was too late.When Charlie returned to the room, Grace had already closed her eyes.Walking over, he sat down beside her. His hands fell on her back and slowly wandered around. "Is your period over?""Yeah."Grace was half asleep, not even opening her eyes, lazily grunting."Then let's have..."Charlie caressed her with his long fingers.Grace shook her head and pushed his hand away. "I just want to have a good sleep now. Don't disturb me..."Charlie didn't give up, trying to coax her in a soft voice.Still shaking her head, Grace buried her face into the pillow, her voice vague, "I don't even have the strength to raise my arms. Let's just sleep."She didn't lie.She had not done heavy work since she was a child, but today she was exhausted. Even though she was lying in bed, she could feel her arms sore and limp. She didn't ha
Chapter 1415After arriving at the restaurant, Grace had only strolled outside during her lunch hour. It was dark in the blink of an eye.Yet she didn't do anything else and spent the day in a muddle.Grace felt that she had two rotten days!She walked out of the kitchen and bumped into her ex-boyfriend!She paid no attention to him, straightening her dress blandly.However, he walked up. "Grace?"Grace sneered and didn't bother to pay attention to him."It's not been long since we broke up, and you don't know me? I always remember you!" the man said teasingly. His eyes were pretty.Grace raised her eyebrows with a cold smile. "If your girlfriend knows this, she must be sad."The man waved his hand. "There's a new cafe across the street. The coffee there is quite good. Would you like to have a try?"Grace ran out of patience with him, saying bluntly, "You jerk! Get out of my way!""What did you say?"The man was annoyed but smiled again."But you're still so energetic and
Chapter 1416Grace said, "Not so good."She took off her sweater and revealed her curve figure.Summer said, "After all, it's the Morgan family's restaurant. His mother is paralyzed. Of course, you should take it over."Grace said, "I knew it, but everyone has his own personality. I don't like to prepare ingredients in the kitchen."Summer said with a smile, "But you have married Charlie."Sherman said gently, "Summer is right. Grace, you should learn the kitchen thing."Grace said, "Cooking and preparing ingredients are different. I'm willing to learn cooking, but I'm reluctant to learn preparing ingredients. You haven't experienced it. You don't know how tiring it is."Grace felt annoyed and took a sip of coffee.She frowned, snapped her fingers at the waiter and asked the waiter to change the coffee to the wine.Sherman said, "Take it easy. You will get used to it sooner or later. Don't be so anxious."Grace wanted to say something, but she kept silent in the end. She pic
Chapter 1417Sherman sighed.She remembered one thing. When Grace passed a dirty street, she would rather take a detour than have a smudge on her shoes.'It's difficult for Grace to work in the restaurant. Everyone has his own personality. I can't force her with my standards.'Grace sat in the Land Rover and buried her face on the steering wheel. She closed her eyes and breathed heavily.When she saw the lively children of Summer and Sherman, she felt sad.Summer had two children. So did Sherman if her dead baby was included.But Grace didn't have any children. She pinched her nails into the steering wheel deeply.Originally, she was in a bad mood. After hearing Sherman's words, she exploded finally."Ah!"She shouted to give vent to her anger. She messed up her curls with her fingers. Her nails were varnished a brilliant shade of red.Then she took out her phone and called Sherman, "I'm sorry."Sherman kept silent but smiled.Grace said, "Do you want me to kneel in front
Chapter 1814Before Jazz came to pick up Essa, his elder brother told him he should give candies if he was blocked out of the door. The big brother got experience in his own wedding years ago. Jazz kept it in his mind. At the moment, under such circumstances, he generously distributed candies to everyone. Jazz was a smart guy! People were happy with the candies. They let him in and stopped making trouble for him. People were just having fun on their wedding day and making the atmosphere livelier. Essa's wedding dress was custom-made by the most famous designer in Paris. Summer had arranged it for her. It looked gorgeous on Essa. The wedding dress had a fishtail, which set off Essa's slender waist even more as if it could be grabbed in one hand. The dress was low-back, showing her fair skin. Under the light, Essa looked amazing! Essa was so beautiful, breathtakingly beautiful! Stepping on her crystal high heels, she walked slowly towards Jazz. The distance wasn't long,
Chapter 1813The neck was Essa's most sensitive spot. She felt itchy if someone touched her there, let alone that Jazz clung tight to there for so long. She could barely stand it. Her body was squirming timidly. "Don't seduce me!" Essa was angry, "I'm not seducing you! Just sleep! But can you not cling to me so tight?" "Why? Are you turned on by me?" Essa was lying with her back to him, her cheeks blushed, and she hissed, "Who is turned on?" ‘What the hell! The man is like a sex machine!’ "Since you are so sure of it, let me check you out." Essa wanted to kill herself, but before she did, she wanted to kill him first! "Are you lying, babe?" Jazz deliberately drawled. "Get away from me! If you don't want to sleep in the guest room, go sleep on the couch! I cannot sleep with you clinging to me so tight!" But Jazz ignored her demand. Essa's whole face had turned red, so red as if it was about to bleed. "Jazz!" "You can be louder. I'm fine with it anyway
Chapter 1812Jazz naturally had no objection because he couldn’t wait to get married. He had always been determined, and as long as he made the decision, he would never change his mind!Now that he had decided to marry her, he must do it!Essa had heard her words. Although she thought it was a little too hasty, she kept silent, giving tacit consent.They were getting married in fifteen days! It was really fast!But because the bridegroom was Jazz, she was not panicked at all. She was calm because cuddling up together with him like this made her feel happy.That night was not easy. Jazz was like a wolf who had been hungry for decades, and he would not let go of the delicious meat that had been put in front of his mouth.They had sex for another whole night. Although Essa was strong, she was no match for a man.Her legs and waist were so weak that she had to support her waist with both hands in order to stand up. She thought Jazz should not have been so horny even if he had hadn'
Chapter 1811Jazz lowered his head slightly and kissed her.Essa could not pretend to be sleeping any longer, so she opened her eyes and pressed her hands against his chest."Morning, baby." He stared at her tenderly and asked, "How did you feel last night? Are you satisfied?"She glared at him, not wanting to speak.But she didn't know her eyes were full of tenderness and love now.After the sex last night, Jazz could not resist such a temptation anymore.He bowed his head, intending to kiss her."Get up! I have to go to work! If you dare to kiss me now, I will definitely beat you up!"Jazz didn't kiss her but shrugged his shoulders.He was not afraid of her threat, but he knew it was her first time last night. He thought he could not ask her to make love again in the morning. Otherwise, she would be too tired.Essa was satisfied to see him give up. She glanced at the time and found she was about to be late, so she didn't want to waste time chatting with him anymore.But w
Chapter 1810"Why are you so sensitive?" Jazz smiled lightly, enjoying her current reaction."You’re talking nonsense! You are hugging me too tight. Back away..." She blushed slightly, keeping twisting her body.She had never had such intimate contact with a man before, so she felt hot all over and acted unnaturally."Do you think this distance is too close? We will be closer…"Essa couldn't take it anymore, so she stretched out her hands, pushed against his chest, and said, "Stop it!""Why? You have to get used to this. We will have more intimate interactions, so you have to get used to..."She felt a little scared about such intimate contact.Jazz pressed his body against hers tightly. The scenery outside was blurry at night, and the two of them were alone in the same room, so it was easy for them to become turned on, and sparks were flying between them.His long fingers began to take off her clothes.Soon, she was naked. Jazz picked her up and placed her on the bed."I'm
Chapter 1809Jazz opened the car door for her with a smile and said, "Baby, have an enjoyable time at work."After finishing speaking, he started the car and stepped on the accelerator, and then, the car disappeared without a trace, leaving Essa standing there in a daze.But she still needed to enter the police station to work. Even if she stood here for two hours, she could not solve the problem. There was no point in evading issues, so she decided to get in. Then, she gritted her teeth and walked in, keeping her eyes looking straight ahead.However, even if she didn’t look at others, others would still look at her. Along the way, many people stared at her.They had not expected Essa to be so open. She had actually done such a thing at the gate of the police station!Essa felt her cheeks were burning, but she still forced a smile and tried to be a thick-skinned person.She was hypnotizing herself.When she got into her office, she felt as if she had been flayed by the gazes
Chapter 1808"A few years. Why did you call him a bastard?""You still care about him? I just want to call him a bastard. Don't be silly. There are few innocent men like me. Think about it! It is cost-effective for you to marry me. You have never been married before, and neither have I. To be honest, with my appearance and status, it was not easy to stay single till now. Don’t you think it's very touching?"Hearing this, Essa was completely speechless."It's not touching at all. Are you sure you’re not impotent? Why are you a virgin till now? As you said, you have enough merits to fascinate others!"Hearing this, Jazz on the other end of the phone became sullen and said, "Are you doubting my potency?"Women’s suspicion was the most intolerable thing to men! How could she doubt his sexual potency? It had hurt his pride!"I didn't doubt it before, but you emphasized it over and over again. It is you that made me feel suspicious..." She took a sip of water. Compared to his exaspe
Chapter 1807Essa had told her that Summer was also from an ordinary family. Seeing she and Mark were so affectionate to each other, she felt relieved and believed that Mark was a good man.It was hard to imagine such a handsome man with a high status would be the same as an ordinary man when he was with his family.On the other side of the table, Essa was putting food on Jazz’s plate, while Jazz was picking out fishbones for her. Both of them had faint smiles on their faces, showing genuine love to each other.Essa’s mother let out a sigh of relief.After dinner, Mark insisted on sending the three of them home. Essa shook her head repeatedly and rejected because there were a lot of taxis outside the hotel."This is our first dinner together, so we must send you home. In this way, we can know where you live…"Although Mark's words were polite, they had an irresistible sense of solemnity.Jazz had wanted to refuse too, but after hearing Mark’s words, he swallowed the words back.
Chapter 1806Jazz walked over and handed her red roses."You're too high-profile!" Essa kneaded her forehead with her hand, feeling a headache."Don't you like it?" Jazz smiled."I like it very much." She took a deep sniff. The roses were exuding a light fragrance, making her mood good."My brother and sister-in-law want to have dinner with you and your family tonight. Do you want to meet them?"Essa blinked, "Didn't we meet before?""Yes, but it's not formal. This time, it will be a formal meeting at the Grande Hotel at eight o'clock in the evening…"Essa rubbed her forehead, then went home, and told her mother about the dinner. Her mother was a little worried. She had only met Jazz before, and Mark was a big shot that she could only see on TV. When he suddenly wanted to meet them, Essa’s mother felt nervous.Essa kept comforting her, saying there would be no problem because Mark was very approachable and easygoing.She then changed her clothes and put on makeup. Later, Jazz
