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
Chapter 1435However, everyone's eyes fell on the suitcase in Grace's hand. Mckenzie asked, "Why are you taking the suitcase?""I'm moving out." In front of everyone, Grace answered briskly and frankly.Charlie walked through the crowd and up to her, taking the suitcase from her. "Yes. Didn't Mom agree yesterday?"Mckenzie clenched her teeth in annoyance. In front of all the guests, Grace was humiliating her!Grace took the suitcase, planning to leave with Charlie at this moment deliberately. She was telling everyone that she and Charlie wouldn't accept Jovanny.However, in front of so many people, Mckenzie couldn't lose her temper.She said stiffly, "Then wait until after the party.""No. It's a bit far from here, and we still have some things to do, so we're leaving now." Grace didn't even give her an out.Mckenzie suppressed her anger and went forward. She pretended to kindly hold Charlie and Grace's arms. "It's lively here. Come on. Stay a little longer."Charlie stared a
Chapter 1436Grace was focusing her attention on the cup. She didn't notice the ground at her feet.Suddenly, her sharp heel landed on the marble.She lost her balance and staggered sideways.The back of Grace's hand was splashed with some hot water. Her face went pale in pain. Unable to think more, she directly threw the cup away.At the same time, a child shrieked. The voice was sharp as if to pierce people's eardrums.The noisy hall immediately quieted down.Everyone looked over.Grace was shocked, clutching the nearby table and chair awkwardly.Jovanny was lying on the ground, covering the back of his hand and screaming in pain.Seeing this, Hailee and Mckenzie hurriedly ran over, propped up the child, and anxiously asked, "What's wrong?"Jovanny groaned with a white face, "My hand hurts...""Don't move. Let me take a look," Mckenzie said.She carefully removed his hand and then frowned.Everyone saw that the back of Jovanny's hand was red and swollen. It was scalded
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
