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
Chapter 1490Billy shook his head, "Charlie's upset. He’s drowning in alcohol. How did he have time to whine to me?" Grace understood that. She seemed to think of something and said to Billy, "Charlie's been in a bad mood recently. Maybe he'll ask you to drink together again. Take care of him." Billy was surprised to hear Grace say such words. Grace used to be a careless woman. It was rare for her to say something like this! Billy thought he had heard wrong! Charlie had some friends, but of them all, he was closest to Mark and Billy. Now Mark was a married man, and he couldn't go drinking with Charlie every day, so Charlie had to go to Billy. No matter what Billy had done before, at the time, Charlie needed him. Grace poured herself a glass of water. Before she could drink it, the manager of Morgan’s restaurant called, "There may be some problem with the restaurant's ingredients. Many customers have diarrhea. " Hanging up the phone, Grace covered Charlie w
Chapter 1491Charlie was still asleep. Grace took off her shoes. She was so tired that she didn't even take off her clothes. She collapsed on the bed. Early the next morning, Charlie woke up. He went to the bathroom to take a shower. When he came out of the bathroom, he saw that Grace was still asleep and that she showed no signs of waking up. He stood some distance away from her. He did not go up to her. When he saw Grace, Charlie always remembered that Mckenzie had called him several times before, and how he had pleaded with Grace in a soft voice, but Grace had resolutely rejected him every time. Then he thought of his mother, who was lying in bed at the moment, in a comma. His brows furrowed, his Adam's apple rolled, and he walked out of the room. His mother had brought him up and always given him the best. But he hadn't been able to give her anything. He only gave his mother loneliness. When his mother and Grace argued over whether they should to go back to the Morga
Chapter 1492 Bella excelled in school. She got a school scholarship every year. But her family was poor, so she had a part-time job in a bar. When she was checking the statistics, she was attentive, which was one of her merits. She didn't even blink at all. Within two minutes, she found the error. Charlie looked at her again. She didn't say a word. Charlie's jaw tucked slightly as he took the file from the desk and looked through it. The managers told her to go back and wait for their notification. And then they moved on to interview the next candidate. Bella left. Charlie changed his posture. He asked the assistant, "How many people are we hiring this time?" The assistant replied, "We were going to hire two people, but there are so many applicants that we'd increase it to three." Charlie nodded, took the pen, and ticked Bella's name. He said to the assistant, "She's hired. " The assistant nodded, and then he told the managers. The managers glance at each other.
Chapter 1493Grace nodded with a smile and chatted with Kingsley for a little longer. Then she turned to look at Mckenzie, who was still lying in the bed in a coma.Mckenzie's condition had not improved at all. She was still so weak and had no sign of waking up.Gazing at her emaciated face, Grace was filled with remorse. What would it have been like if she had promised to go to the restaurant to help?She was sure that if she had gone there, things wouldn’t have turned so bad.Also, her relationship with Charlie wouldn’t have become like this.Raising her eyebrows, Grace stopped thinking nonsense. She tidied up her things, told some precautions to the nurse and then went to the restaurant.She still had so many ingredients to prepare in both restaurants. Besides, all the materials should be checked to prevent another accident from taking place.Before Mckenzie fell ill, Grace always found opportunities to slack off on her work.As long as Mckenzie paid attention to her, she w
Chapter 1494"What's wrong with me being drunk?"From Charlie's face and the look in his eyes, he was a little drunk.Now the situation was getting a little awkward. Mark had intentionally created this opportunity for Charlie and Grace today, but both of them were in this kind of situation.Mark gave Billy a look. Billy shrugged helplessly, not knowing what to do.Seeing this, Mark winked at him, stood up and then said, "It's getting late. We have to leave. Take your time.""Yeah. Take your time. We'll pay the bill. That's it," Billy said hurriedly.They two left, leaving only Charlie and Grace in the private room. Charlie kept drinking and Grace didn't stop him.In such a scene, they two were deadlocked. They remained silent and tense all the time, as if they were holding their breath, and even the sound of a needle falling to the ground could be heard clearly.Finally Charlie got drunk.With a "bang", the wine bottle in his hand fell to the ground and shattered.Fearing th
