Chapter 1482However, Mckenzie didn't believe that Grace's leg hurt for no reason."I'm not really sure, but my leg really hurts. Mom, I'm going over to rest," said Grace.The expression on Mckenzie's face changed, but she didn't say anything.Grace took a cup and drank a few cups of hot water before she felt her leg didn't hurt as much as it did earlier.Lying there, she held her phone and sipped the hot water. She planned to go back to the kitchen and continue doing her part when she felt more comfortable.However, Mckenzie hadn't waited any longer. Then, she started preparing the ingredients. As she still had difficulty getting about, she did it slowly.Moreover, she always felt that Grace might be looking for an excuse not to help her.Turning sideways, Mckenzie looked toward the dining hall.Then she saw Grace half lying there, holding her phone and drinking hot water.Grace looked like she was enjoying herself and didn't look like her leg hurt at all.Seeing this, Mcke
Chapter 1483Grace called Summer to make an appointment with her. As soon as Grace saw Summer, she told Summer the whole story in rage.Summer poured a glass of water for Grace and told Grace to sit down first to calm herself. She couldn't say anything about this kind of problem, so she made no comment on it.Talking was the best way to let off steam. Half an hour later, Grace felt her anger dissipate a bit.Summer asked her, "Are you going back to the restaurant?"Grace shook her head straight away. "No. I happen to be a little tired. I'm going back to my apartment to rest."Given her personality, Grace used to have no tolerance for this kind of problem at all. However, her temper really had gotten much better!Charlie was at his office. At this point, Mckenzie called Charlie to tell him that Grace was rude and had a bad temper. And Mckenzie kept complaining to Charlie about Grace.He rubbed his forehead and had to listen to her.When he returned to the apartment in the eveni
Chapter 1484To be honest, Grace felt very proud when she saw the happy expression on his face after he finished her pumpkin soup.In fact, her cooking skills were not bad.Charlie felt very comfortable after taking a hot bath.Grace insisted that she wouldn't let him have sex with her last night, but he wouldn't let her go today!However, his move was gentle and tender, without being reckless or rushed.They made love to each other...Early the next morning.Charlie could go to work late in the morning, so he planned to go out with Grace after she got up. And he could drop her off at the restaurant.He had been hearing her say that her legs had been hurting for the past two days, so he thought it would be best if she didn't drive.However, it was already 7:30 a.m. Grace didn't look like she wanted to wake up at all. She was still sleeping peacefully.She would have woken up by this time to start putting on her makeup and freshening up.Having no choice, he gently pinched h
Chapter 1485"I'm upset," said Charlie."You have not only a family but a wife, so why would you be upset?" Billy couldn't understand."Normal people can't understand my irritation." Charlie tilted his head and finished his glass of wine.Billy tsked. "That's because your house is too crowded. As much as I want to fight with someone else and get upset, I don't even have the opportunity. My apartment is so empty."At that moment, the manager asked some beautiful young girls to accompany them for a drink.The girls were seated. Two of the girls sat on Charlie while the other two sat beside Billy and chuckled coquettishly."Well, you two. Right. Just you two go out. You two don't need to accompany him." Billy said as he pointed to the girls sitting beside Charlie."Get out of here! Or I will be dead if Grace finds out about it!"Although the girls looked upset, they didn't dare to say anything. After they left, only the two girls next to Billy remained.The girl sitting on Bil
Chapter 1486Hearing such words, Charlie felt lost and sad. He opened his thin lips to say something but could not.His father had died young, and his mother raised him alone. However, after he had a family, he and his mother gradually became distant...Then, Mckenzie hung up and never called Charlie again.As a result, Charlie became even more depressed. At this point, he felt that the wine on the table tasted like water.Billy was also in a bad mood, so he also decided to drink with Charlie.When they both left the private room, they walked a little shakily. Then, they put their arms on each other's shoulders and walked outside of the bar.The two girls who had been drinking with them earlier were standing in the corner. Bella, who had spilled her drink, was watching Charlie walk out of the bar.The girl standing next to Bella nudged Bella. "Did you fall under his spell?"Bella didn't say anything and just blushed. Then, the other girl flashed a smile. "He's one of those mos
Chapter 1487Grace also arrived at the news. As soon as she saw him, she asked with a frown, "How about Mom? Is she in a serious condition?"However, Charlie did not speak. He just took the cigarette off his thin lips, threw it on the ground, and stomped it out.Grace stood beside him, raised her hand, and tried to touch his arm.She didn't expect Charlie to dodge and avoid her. Then her fingertips missed him.Grace was stunned, and her hand moved slightly.Charlie ignored her. He sat on the bench with his head buried between his legs and was deeply silent.He thought that if Grace had gone to the restaurant this morning, then the incident would have been avoided.He hated Grace as well as himself.Grace could see that he was indifferent and cold to her.Pursing her lips, she didn't say anything. She'd also heard that Mckenzie had fainted in the kitchen while stirring the ingredients.He complained that she hadn't agreed to work in the restaurant in the morning. If she had a
Chapter 1488 "I know Charlie is blaming me. That morning, he kept saying so many reassuring words to convince me to go to the restaurant, but I refused him anyway. I think that if I had agreed to go, something like that wouldn't have happened. But I had just had a fight with Mckenzie, and I was still angry with her."Grace also blamed herself and regretted it.Summer patted Grace's shoulder. Since things had come to this, it was useless even if Grace talked so much about it.Charlie had not gone to the company these days. He had been at Mckenzie's bedside.On the contrary, Grace was very busy. She was busy taking care of the Morgan family's villa and running the restaurant. She had been snowed under with her tasks.Mckenzie hadn't woken up yet. And the relationship between Grace and Charlie was still the same, cold and distant.Grace wondered when she would stop living a life like this...The pressure of working in the restaurant made her unable to breathe. Moreover, Charlie w
Chapter 1489Charlie's eyes still darted.Billy's eyes fell on the woman in front of him. "What's the matter?"The girl was embarrassed. She blushed, then put the hair that had fallen loose behind her ears. "I want to say thank you to Mr. Morgan.""When have you ever done a heroic act?"Confused, Billy nudged Charlie's shoulder.Apparently, he had forgotten all about the girl who had accompanied them for a drink.Only when he heard what Billy said did Charlie narrow his slightly drunken eyes and look forward. Then, his eyes met the girl's clear eyes. He had some impression of that girl.Under his gaze like that, the girl's cheeks were redder, which looked like a peach blossom that bloomed for the first time."Mr. Morgan, I'm really grateful to you for what you have done."After looking at the girl's blushed face for a few moments, he responded to her in a gentle tone. Then he rubbed his aching forehead with his slender fingers. With no intention of speaking to the girl, he walk
