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 1433"She has done nothing wrong. The restaurant is hers. She can decide who to manage and learn the recipe."I don't care. Don't speak for me. Just tell her what I just said and see what she is thinking."Grace uncovered the mask on her face and said casually.Yet there was a thoughtful look in her eyes.She was indeed not interested in the restaurant. Neither did she want to waste her time on it.However, if Hailee was in charge of the restaurant, Grace would be unhappy.Grace didn't want the restaurant to be managed by herself or Hailee. Grace admitted that she was petty and unkind.She deliberately said that to Charlie, who would certainly ask Mckenzie to choose Grace.Though Grace didn't want to take over the restaurant, she must stop Hailee from interfering."Okay. Let's sleep. Sleep in my arms tonight," Charlie said, stretching out his long arm and hugging Grace with his jaw against her neck. They soon fell asleep.They had a very peaceful and sweet sleep...
Chapter 1434Grace kept swirling the keys around her middle finger as she walked out of the restaurant in her high heels.Just as Grace returned to the Morgan family's villa, Charlie drove back. They met by chance."Your timing is perfect," Grace said.Charlie chuckled. "The same to you."The villa was very lively, surrounded by luxury and famous cars.The large parking lot of the Morgan family was full. It seemed that all the celebrities in Santabaca had come here.Mckenzie was quite good to that boy!Grace was smiling coldly.She saw Billy's car, thinking that there might be many acquaintances.As expected, after she walked into the living room, the guests were mingling with each other. They were all well-dressed and refined.Billy was drinking. As he saw Grace and Charlie, Billy raised his glass.Grace walked over. "Why are you here?""Mckenzie invited me. She also invited Mark, but Summer refused and said this kind of messy party was suitable for people like me. Do you
