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
Chapter 1495Grace couldn't help but think about what Charlie had said earlier. Those words were probably what he had kept in his heart. She had never been such a torn woman. But in this case, she couldn't make her decision easily. *In the morning, Grace woke up first. After washing up, she went downstairs and bought breakfast. When she returned, Charlie was just waking up. "Let's have breakfast," Grace said. "Go ahead yourself. I'm not hungry." Charlie looked aloof. Meanwhile, he got up and walked to the bathroom. Grace put breakfast on the table. Her arms crossed around her chest, she blocked his way at the bathroom door, "We need to talk!" "It's 7:40. I have a meeting at 8:20. I need to hurry to the office." Charlie lifted his wrist and looked at the time. "Forget it." Grace returned to the table. She was angry. She didn’t have breakfast either but threw it straight into the trash. Charlie saw it all. His eyes twinkled, and he gazed at her back. But Gra
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
