Chapter 1450"Then hurry up and eat it while it's hot. I'll get you some warm water."Grace squinted her eyes with a smile and said okay.The porridge was delicious.Having filled herself, Grace stroked her stomach and snuggled up to Charlie, sleeping sweetly.Mckenzie was in the hospital, but Hailee didn't want to eat, looking vacuous. Mckenzie asked her what she wanted to do.Hailee said she only wanted to see Charlie and asked him about something.Mckenzie could only call Charlie. While Mckenzie was talking to him, Grace was sitting by his side. After hanging up, Charlie looked at Grace, narrowing his eyes. Grace generously waved her hand. "Just go and take a look."After overhearing his conversation with Hailee that day, Grace changed her opinion. He was so firm. Shouldn't she respect and trust him?After a passionate kiss, Charlie went to the hospital.Hailee couldn't accept the fact that he married Grace. "Why didn't you wait for me?""Love is unreasonable. Maybe
Chapter 1451At eight o'clock in the evening, Summer called Grace. They hadn't seen each other for a long time. Summer wanted to get together with her.After Grace finished her work in the restaurant, she went to the appointed place in advance.Summer sat by the window waiting for her. Seeing what Grace was wearing, Summer expressed her surprise.Grace was no longer fashionably dressed. She wore a simple white T-shirt, jeans, and sneakers.Summer felt that she was hallucinating. She couldn't believe that this was Grace. How could a woman who always looked perfect dress so plainly?Grace rolled her eyes. "Stop looking at me like that! I'm changing with the trend of the times. Doing hard work will only ruin my limited-edition clothes."Summer smiled and asked her if she would like a cup of coffee."No. Juice."Summer was surprised again. Grace used to only drink coffee even if she was thirsty. What was wrong today?"To get pregnant, I've changed many of my habits this month. No
Chapter 1452Hailee was standing behind the door when it was opened.Therefore, Charlie didn't see what she was wearing and walked in casually.The next moment, the door was closed by Hailee.She walked behind him, hugged his sturdy waist, and pressed her cheek on his back.Charlie raised his eyebrows slightly, saying in a deep voice, "What are you doing?""Don't reject me! Charlie..."Hailee softened her voice, pleading."Have you forgotten? We had been together for six years. We stuck to each other like glue. Now I'm back. Don't you want me anymore?""Let go of me!"Charlie boomed."I've made it clear to you. I don't want to repeat it.""Why are you so cruel to me? Have you forgotten? When I was 22, we had our first time!"Hailee didn't let him go. Instead, she tightened her hug.Charlie was running out of patience. "That was history. Who doesn't have a history?"Hailee cried, shaking her head."I know you love your wife, but I just want to be with you. Let me be your
Chapter 1453"Don't talk nonsense!" Grace gently punched his chest. "You must haven't slept on the plane. Go to bed. I'll change my clothes and go to the restaurant.""Aren't you tired?" Charlie leaned against the wall."Of course I am! When I was working in the company, there were at least two days off a week, but now I have to work every day.""In that case, don't go there today. I'll take you out in the afternoon."Grace was overjoyed, but thinking of Mckenzie's angry face, she shrugged her shoulders. "Make your mom agree first.""What will happen if you miss one day's work? You often did that before. I think you are weary, so I want to take you out to relax." There was a disappointed look on Charlie's handsome face. "Since you don't agree, then forget it."Grace told him to stop, quickly pulled out her phone, and texted a message with a serious look."Mckenzie, I'm on my period today and feel unwell. I'm afraid I can't go to the restaurant today. I'll be there early tomorro
Chapter 1454After parking the car, Grace intimately held Charlie's arm.They went to the ladies' department, where there were the latest dresses.Grace tried them on one after another.Charlie was patiently sitting on the sofa, holding a glass of water and gently sipping.Indeed, Grace hadn't gone shopping for a long time.Since she worked in the restaurant, she didn't buy new clothes.Grace had a good figure. No matter what clothes she wore, she looked beautiful.Charlie nodded, smiled, and signed the credit card receipt handed over by the assistant.Then they went to another floor to buy some perfume and skincare products.Hailee was also shopping and happened to see Charlie and Grace. Her body stiffened and her brow was furrowed deeply.Thinking of the vacation on the island, his slap, and rebuke, she felt a sharp pain in her heart as if an electric drill was piercing it.Grace bought a lot of things such as perfume and skincare products, but thinking that Charlie hadn'
Chapter 1455"You haven't worked for a month yet, and you feel tired. Think about the years I ran the restaurant myself. When did I say that you are not allowed to relax? The restaurant is so busy now. Do you think it is appropriate to go shopping in such a situation?""Just one day. I don't think it's inappropriate. Although the restaurant is important, our married life is also important. I don't feel I've done anything unforgivable."Mckenzie was burning with anger, looking at Charlie. "Did you hear what she said? She even found an excuse for what she had done wrong!""Mom, she's right. You've been working in the restaurant for decades. You are used to it, but she just worked there for ten days. Naturally, she feels tired. Anyway, things have passed. Forget it. Don't quarrel."Charlie mediated between Grace and Mckenzie."It's my fault. I gave her a bad idea. Don't be mad.""It has nothing to do with you. She doesn’t have any sense of responsibility. If so, she wouldn't have l
Chapter 1456When the car passed a cake shop, she stopped to buy some sweet and sour strawberry cakes.She was fond of this taste lately.After buying two cakes, Grace carried them back to the apartment. Charlie had changed his clothes and was about to pick her up.When he saw her return, he sat back on the sofa. "Why do you eat cakes instead of a meal?""I just want to eat them." She licked her lips. "I also want to drink yogurt. I'll buy some from the supermarket downstairs."Charlie stopped her with a sign. "Eat your cakes. I'll buy it for you. What else would you like?""Oh, pasta!"Grace could imagine the smell of pasta. "I want to eat pasta!"Charlie crossed his arms over his chest, looking at her up and down. "Didn't you eat a lot these days? Do women look quite different after getting married?""So are you buying them or not?" Grace raised her eyes. "Are you afraid I'll eat you out of house and home?"Giving an OK gesture, Charlie chuckled."I have a lot of savings.
Chapter 1457There was a lot of work. It was over 4 o'clock, but some of the ingredients hadn't been mashed yet. Moreover, Mckenzie asked Grace to send those ingredients to the branch store, but the time was not enough.After thinking for a few moments, Grace went to Mckenzie, "I have a party tonight at the bar. I've to leave early. Have the driver send the ingredients."Mckenzie objected, "Just a party. If you don’t go, it's no big deal. There's a lot more to do here.""We agreed to meet at six." Grace winced."You didn't come yesterday because you said you weren't feeling well. Today, you have a new excuse to leave before you get your work done. Listen, you can tell me if you don't want to stay here. Okay? I won't force you."Grace thought it was impossible to communicate with Mckenzie."I didn’t mean that. Today's ingredients are all ready. There's not much work left. Even if I leave early, there won't be any problem.""We have to take stock tonight. You're not allowed to lea
