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
Chapter 1501Summer smiled."Because he ordered steak for his female secretary?""No, because he refused to sleep together with me at night."Grace had been talking very explicitly. Her voice was neither too loud nor too small, but it was clear enough for those passing by to hear it.So, a lot of people around turned their heads and looked at her.Grace was open-minded and carefree, and she didn't take people's subtle gazes to heart at all.Hearing this, Summer sighed softly."Perhaps the wounds in his heart have not been healed, and Mckenzie is still unconscious in the hospital. You want him to pretend that nothing happened, but that's impossible!""I know, so I've been considerate of him. He was indifferent to me and gave me the cold shoulder, and I endured. He didn’t want to be in the same room with me, so I moved from the hospital to the hotel. He never looked for me and called me these days, and I didn't say anything. I wasn't like this before.""I know, but love and marr
Chapter 1502Charlie went to the bar with Mark in the evening. In the bar, Charlie kept drinking.Mark couldn't stop him. Feeling helpless, he said, "You can't go on like this. You'd better live a normal life.""What is a normal life? When my father died, he asked me to treat my mother well. Before she passed out, they often argued, but I never supported her. Now she fainted. I'm sorry for her!""I got it. But you have to continue with your life...""She supported me in everything I did, but I never listened to her. When I went to college, she wanted me to study finance, but I wanted to study architecture. So I ended up studying architecture. When I wanted to marry Grace, my mother wasn't satisfied with her. Yet, I ended up marrying her. I didn't take my mother's side every time she argued with Grace after we got married. I didn't even take my mother's words seriously when she called me and said she didn't feel well before she fainted. I've always treated her badly."Charlie real
Chapter 1503Biting her lips, Bella had to start the car and drive towards a hotel.She didn't know where Mr. Morgan lived. Her home was too small, so she could only drive him to a hotel...Bella had six hundred dollars. She had wanted to drive Mr. Morgan to a hotel near the bar. But that hotel looked quite cheap. He was so noble, so she didn't think it was appropriate for him to live in a cheap hotel.After thinking about it, she thought the Hilton Hotel was a good choice.It was a five-star hotel. She could afford a standard room with six hundred dollars.After arriving at the Hilton Hotel, she helped the drunken Charlie enter the hotel.After checking in, she helped him into the elevator.The elevator door had just been closed when the opposite elevator opened and Grace walked out of the elevator. They didn't come across each other.Grace didn't eat anything in the afternoon, so she was a little hungry now. She especially wanted to eat something sour.There was a restauran
Chapter 1504After hearing Charlie's words, Bella sat down beside him, but she was still very nervous.Charlie tapped on the dining table, "Dig in.""Mr. Morgan... I... I've already had breakfast..." Bella waved her hand and sat there as if a statue. But just as she finished speaking, her stomach growled."Are you used to lying?" Charlie raised his head slightly to look at her.She lowered her head without saying anything. Moreover, she didn't know what to say.Charlie picked up the coffee, took a sip, and said, "Are you afraid of me?"She was so anxious that she nodded and then shook her head.But her eyes were as clear and bright as a small deer's. Obviously, there was a tinge of panic in her eyes.Charlie smiled lightly and began to have a good mood.Bella's face glowed like the setting sun. She bit her lips lightly without raising her head anymore.At breakfast, Charlie ate a lot.However, Bella hardly ate anything.When they reached the hotel reception, the receptioni
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
