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 1496Upon hearing this, the secretary handed the documents over. Flipping through them with slender fingers, Charlie said, “Just choose this girl named Bella.”“OK. I’ll inform the personnel department first, and then I’ll bring her here.”The assistant then walked out of the office.She couldn’t help thinking to herself, ‘Does Mr. Morgan know that intern named Bella?’Half an hour later, she came in again with Bella.Although Bella was quite nervous, she still tried to calm herself down. “Nice to meet you, Mr. Morgan.”“Well...” Charlie looked up from the documents and said, “You must have heard that you will become my secretary. Do you have any problems with that?”Bella’s heart beat quickly, and she didn’t dare to look straight at him. Twisting her fingers together nervously, she said, “No.”“You can leave now. My secretary will tell you the work duties later, and you need to accompany me to a dinner party tonight.”Charlie said without looking up again.Bella nodd
Chapter 1497Grace didn't want to argue with him. But after hearing what Charlie had said, she became a little angry."I didn't seem to say so. Besides, it was partly my fault," Charlie said while taking off his suit jacket."Then let's talk about it. You and I can't be so cold to each other all the time. I don't like it," Grace advised.Charlie looked back at her and asked, "How to talk?"Grace was stunned by what Charlie had asked.Then she said, "It was an accident that Mom fainted this time. No one wanted it to happen. But since it had happened, shouldn't we accept it calmly instead of alienating each other with such a cold attitude?""I can't forget how she fainted."Charlie said in a low voice, word by word, "I am her son. She told us she wasn't feeling well, but I still allowed you to do those things, which led to her fainting in the restaurant from exhaustion.""I always remember it clearly. I can't let it go and pretend it never happened. Besides, my attitude and mood
Chapter 1498Then she slammed the door shut and left.Grace drove aimlessly along the street. Paying Summer another visit was not an option. The only place she could go to was the hotel.Grace lay down on the soft bed, but she felt no drowsiness whatsoever.Mckenzie passing out seemed to have created a gulf between Grace and Charlie.And the gulf had been widening somewhere neither of them could see.Feeling increasingly fretful, she ran her fingers through her bushy curly hair. Eventually she drifted off.Charlie didn't sleep. He tossed his suit jacket aside, pulled out his cellphone and called his family. It was the butler who answered the phone. Charlie was told that his wife hadn't returned yet.Charlie then made a call back to the apartment on the landline, but nobody answered the phone.He was positive that she hadn't returned to the apartment either, considering her hot temper. He promptly called his assistant and asked him to look into it.Half an hour later, his assi
Chapter 1499Grace felt more and more tired these days, and she always felt sleepy.She shook her head to get rid of the drowsiness and then focused all her attention on mashing the ingredients.After finishing her work, she called Summer and made an appointment to go shopping together with her.To save time, they went to the Silver Building.Grace felt a little tired, so she didn't have the energy to go to brand stores one after another. There were all kinds of stores in the Silver Building.Charlie was downstairs, followed by many employees. He came over to supervise the work. Quite a few stores in this building needed to be replaced.Bella followed Luke, who looked so handsome. When he moved his long legs, his straight suit pants fluttered.Summer turned around and unintentionally saw Charlie.She twisted her eyebrows, tugged at Grace's sleeves, and said, "Your husband is here!"Since Grace hadn't seen Charlie for several days, she was very excited at this time. But she ra
Chapter 1500Bella speculated quietly.Grace glanced at Bella and then looked at Charlie, who was sitting beside her, "Where is Dolly?""She's pregnant, so she took maternity leave." Charlie said. Then he picked up the water on the table and took two sips."Okay." Grace nodded and took the menu casually, "Let's order something."She ordered the medium steak, while Summer ordered the medium well one.Charlie also ordered the medium steak. They had the same taste.Bella had never been to such a fancy restaurant. She was born in an impoverished family and had just graduated from college. At this moment, looking at the menu with expensive food, she didn't know what to do.Besides, Mr. Morgan was sitting opposite her. It would be inappropriate no matter what she did.Therefore, she was so embarrassed that she froze.At this moment, the waiter came over, took the order for the three of them, and then looked at Bella, who was still hesitating.Noticing the waiter's gaze, Bella lick
