Chapter 1425When Grace returned to the Morgan family's villa in the evening, she saw Hailee coming down from upstairs with a suitcase.Mckenzie stopped Hailee from leaving.Charlie stood nearby and frowned, "What happened?""Charlie, look what Grace has done! Hailee did nothing when we ate at the restaurant at noon, but Grace threw a tantrum at Hailee." Mckenzie said shortly.Grace heard that clearly. She was irritated outwardly and inwardly.'Shit! What the hell are they playing at? Isn't it enough that they disgust me in the restaurant?'Charlie looked at Mckenzie in disbelief."What do you mean by that look? Would I have wronged Grace? Listen, your wife lost her temper with others for no reason. How rude of her?" Said Mckenzie angrily.Charlie turned around and saw Grace behind them.He winced because he knew that Grace must have heard all this. "You're back, Grace." He said gently."Um." Grace took off her coat and sat casually on the sofa, crossing her legs and sipping
Chapter 1426After a while, Mckenzie was still persuading her to stay. "Bring Jovanny here and accompany me."Hailee didn't speak, as she was staring in the direction where Charlie was.He seemed lost in thought, and no one could guess what he was thinking about.With an overcast expression on his face, he picked up the water glass and drank up the water.He acted a little rudely, with some water flowing down the corners of his mouth, which clearly showed his bad mood at this time.Mckenzie thought Hailee was unwilling to stay here, so she persuaded, "Stay here. You and I can still chat together. If you leave, I'll be so lonely.""Auntie Mckenzie, it's not that I don't want to stay here, but that Jovanny has to go to school every day. It’ not convenient for him to go to school if he lives here, as it is too far from his school.""Don’t worry. There are a lot of servants in our family, and so are the drivers. I’ll arrange for drivers to pick up and take off Jovanny to school eve
Chapter 1427The next day, when Grace woke up, that side of the bed was already empty.Shen touched it, and it was slightly cold. It seemed that Charlie had been away for a while.After washing up and putting on makeup, she went downstairs. Juts when she stepped on the last stair, she heard the voice of a child coming from the dining room.‘When did our family have a child?’She went into the dining room.Sitting at the dining table were Mckenzie and Hailee, and beside Hailee sat a little boy who was five or six years old.The boy called Hailee Mom and called Mckenzie Grandma sweetly.What Mckenzie liked most was children, especially boys.At this moment, Mckenzie smiled so happily and reached out to stroke his smooth face. "What would you like to eat?""Mom said I can't be a picky eater, so I eat everything." The boy seemed to be very polite and considerate.Hearing this, Mckenzie liked the boy even more. She put several dishes in front of the boy.Grace's chest was undula
Chapter 1428Summer asked, "Does she not allow you to manage the accounts?"Grace threw a glance at Summer, as if Summer were an idiot."How could she give me real power? Though she says that what she does is good for Charlie and me, as she only has one son and all her properties will be inherited by Charlie and me in the future. But who knows what will happen in the future?""Besides, I'm not interested in operating the restaurant. I'm not ambitious. I’m satisfied as long as I have enough money to buy clothes, go shopping, and enjoy life."Summer shook her head and smiled, without uttering anything.Grace took another sip of coffee and then began to mash the ingredients.Summer was still eating.Grace sat beside her, mashing the ingredients with bangs. Though Summer could tolerate the noises, she couldn’t stand the pungent smell."Well, could you go out to work? How can I eat if you mash the ingredients here?"Grace raised her eyes lazily. "I'm letting you experience my work
Chapter 1429Feeling embarrassed, Hailee didn't know how to reply.Charlie frowned.The cold war between Charlie and Grace had not ended yet. ‘Not only does Grace not restrain herself, but she loses her temper again.’‘It is indeed true that Grace should learn to control her temper and change her manner!’The boy packed up the things on the table and quickly stuffed them into his schoolbag. "Good night, Grandma. I'm going to bed.""Okay, good night. You’re so considerate." Mckenzie grinned, with her eyes on the boy.Charlie grabbed Grace's wrist and took her upstairs. "When you talk to others in the future, can you stop using that tone? It’s impolite.""Didn't you refuse to talk to me yesterday? And today, you want to talk just to criticize me. What tone have I used to talk to her?" Grace was getting angrier."Your tone is sarcastic and a little acrid," Charlie answered."You can even hear this? I don't like her, so it’s impossible for me to be friendly to her. She should lea
Chapter 1430After Grace contacted Summer, they went to a mall. Grace bought some new dresses for the coming summer. Then they went to a café.Charlotte had a cold and was put on a drip, and Summer would be uneasy if she didn't stay with Charlotte. After drinking coffee, Summer went back to the Valentine mansion, leaving Grace alone in the café.Thinking of that morning, Grace hesitated, then took her phone from her fringed handbag and called Charlie.Charlie answered immediately.It was their first call since they gave each other the silent treatment that night.Grace spoke first, "What do you think about that?"With that, Charlie pushed aside the papers he was signing, "Mckenzie has made up her mind. It doesn't matter what I think."Grace's tone became cold, "So, are you going to compromise?""Do you have any idea?" Charlie asked."I wouldn't call you if I had a solution. I want you to find a solution."Charlie leaned against his chair and said meaningfully, "This problem i
Chapter 1431"Nope."Grace was still drinking water."Oh, um, one more thing. Both Charlie and I are against you recognizing Hailee's son as your grandson! We'll move out of the Morgan family's villa if you insist.""Are you threatening me?" Mckenzie asked solemnly."I'm over 50, and I don't have a grandchild. Why can't I adopt one?""Look, I insisted that you stay at the villa because no one would talk to me if you left. Now, you can move if you want. I won't stop you. Hailee and Jovanny will stay with me anyway."Charlie was right. It didn't work on Mckenzie. Then Grace cast an angry look at Hailee.Mckenzie felt anger rising inside her and called Charlie."I'm over 50, and I don't have a grandson. Can't I adopt one?""You don't have any kids and even threaten me!"Charlie had seen it coming.That gave Charlie a real headache, and he rubbed his temples, "Mom, I have no objection if you recognize any other child as your grandchild. But Hailee is my ex-girlfriend. You know a
Chapter 1432"You don't have a better idea, do you?"Charlie looked up at Grace."Look, you're my wife, and Mckenzie is my mother. That is very hard for me, all right?""I know you're upset, and I've made my position clear. As long as you can convince my mom, I'm always on your side. But you don't have a solution, do you?""Humph! You never expected me to succeed. I really don't like your attitude and tone!"Grace couldn't bear his tone.That made her think he didn't care about that at all, "I can't stand the sight of your ex-girlfriend and her son. Bothered!"Charlie frowned, "No matter what I do, you are not satisfied. Tell me, what do you want me to do?""I'm not in the mood. Don't talk to me!"Grace seethed with anger."Your ex-girlfriend's hypocrisy makes me sick. She said I hurt her, and now she's still here. And her son, who pretends to be well-behaved, sensible, and likable. Who knows what his real character is?"Hearing that, Charlie said solely, "Child has nothing
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
