Chapter 1406


    Grace came back from thepany. It was already 9:30 p.m. Her work was not going well. She


    made some mistakes and was severely criticized.


    She was a high-profile person and attracted a lot of attention in thepany.


    The other employees in the office looked at her with hatred.


    Grace was rarely scolded. They secretly sneered at her.


    Those talented, good-looking people wouldn’t be envious of others orugh at others.


    Grace''s colleagues hated her just because of jealousy.


    Grace ignored them.


    She was in a fret. She always had painful periods. She fidgeted in her chair with a pale face.


    "Damn it!"


    Grace kicked off her high heels, stepping on the floor with bare feet. Her legs were slender and


    sexy.


    She casually brushed her curly hair back, took the shower gel, and walked into the bathroom.


    She liked to bathe.


    When the warm water fell on her, it took away her fatigue in an instant.


    She thought that she looked sexy in the water, just like a mermaid.


    Grace usually spent an hour in the bathtub when she took a bath and drank a ss of red wine


    after that.


    Yet she had only soaked for twenty minutes this time. She picked up her bathrobe and stood up.


    It was 10:30 when she finished her facial care. She felt thirsty, took a ss, and went out of her


    bedroom.


    She then heard screams from the living room on the first floor. "Ouch! Don''t touch me! It hurts!"


    It was Mckenzie''s voice. Mckenzie was Charlie''s mother.


    Grace frowned and went downstairs into the living room.


    Mckenzie was sitting in a wheelchair. Her right leg was in a cast. She couldn''t stop crying in pain.


    Grace didn''t get on well with Mckenzie.


    However, Grace had to be polite to Mckenzie. "Mom, what''s wrong?"


    Mckenzie was in pain and didn''t say anything.


    The servant standing beside her answered, "Someone spilled water on the ground of the restaurant


    hall tonight. Mrs. Morgan slipped and fell. She had juste back from the hospital.


    "Mrs. Morgan is aged. Her leg was broken seriously. She has to be in the wheelchair for four or five


    months."


    "She needs nutritious food. Go to the market to buy some fresh ingredients tomorrow and cook for


    her," Grace said.


    She poured herself a ss of water.


    "Besides, if there are any problems at home, don''t bother Mom. Just tell me. I''ll deal with them.


    Mom, you should have a good rest and take care of your health."


    "Come and sit down. I have something to say to you," Mckenzie said, enduring the pain.


    With her back to Mckenzie, Grace narrowed her pretty eyes. Her rosy lips moved. She gritted her


    teeth, turned around, and sat down elegantly.


    Grace didn''t want to quarrel with Mckenzie, thinking that Mckenzie would urge her to have a child


    with Charlie.


    However, Grace couldn''t avoid that.


    "My leg is badly injured. You heard what the servant said. I can''t go to the restaurant with a broken


    leg. I want you to work in the restaurant," Mckenzie said.


    Instantly, Grace knitted her delicate eyebrows slightly, replying, "Mom, I have a job. I can''t do that."


    Grace refused calmly. She suppressed her annoyance.


    "The restaurant was set up by Charlie''s grandparents. It has been managed by the women in the


    Morgan family. If you hadn’t married into the Morgan family, I wouldn''t have asked you to do that.


    Now that you''re Charlie''s wife, you have to do that!" Mckenzie said determinedly.


    "I have no vocation for running a restaurant. I can’t help you."


    Gradually, Grace ran out of patience but managed to be polite. "There are many famous cooks.


    Why do we have to do everything by ourselves?"


    "The restaurant has been managed by the women in the Morgan family for many years just


    because we don''t want the recipe to be leaked. It''s confidential.


    "When Charlie''s father passed away, the Morgan Group was in a difficult situation. We almost didn''t


    have enough money to keep thepany afloat. Fortunately, this restaurant helped us. It''s not just


    a restaurant. It means a lot to the Morgan family."


    Grace had heard this from Mckenzie many times.

    Grace fiddled with her hair and drank water. No one knew whether she was listening to Mckenzie.


    Grace stretched herself and yawned. "Mom, I won''t work in the restaurant anyway.


    You''d better discuss this with Charlie. I''m tired after working for a whole day. I''m going upstairs to


    rest."


    Grace turned around and walked upstairs.


    Mckenzie looked at Grace angrily.


    Not long after Grace left the living room, the car lights shone in.
