Chapter 1424


    Hailee''s head sank lower, and even Grace couldn’t see her eyes...


    After breakfast, Charlie and Grace left for work together.


    Charlie didn’t go to thepany until he sent Grace to the restaurant.


    Mckenzie came to the restaurant around 11 o''clock.


    However, she didn''te alone, but with Hailee.


    Grace''s countenance changed immediately. ''Holy shit! What do they want?’


    She was mashing ingredients, and some


    spices hit her on the face, which made her face feel a little hot.


    Gradually, she slowed down the mashing and cast an inquiring look at them.


    Mckenzie''s eyes fell upon her and said, " You''ve done well."


    Grace squinted and looked up at Hailee.


    Noticing Grace''s look, Mckenzie exined, "My legs didn''t get well. I asked Hailee to bring me


    here."


    Hearing that, Grace said nothing but raised her eyebrows slightly and resumed mashing


    ingredients.


    Mckenzie took some ingredients and asked Hailee, "Do you know them?"


    Unexpectedly, Hailee said the names of these ingredients clearly, without any confusion.


    "My sweetie, you are amazing! How did you know that?" Mckenzie asked surprisedly.


    Hailee answered with a smile, "I''ve learned something about ingredients and teas over the years."


    And she added, "Actually, my favorite is fennel."


    "Well, that''s what I thought. Fennel tastes really good. It seems that we have simr preferences in


    this aspect." Mckenzie said with augh.


    Grace grimaced slightly because their conversation displeased her a bit.


    ''The restaurant has the lounge. Why aren''t you talking there? Are you here to disgust me?''


    Moving her hands faster, she rattled the silverware as well.


    Hailee realized that Grace wasn''t happy with this topic.


    Rather than go on about it, she said, "Let me help you."


    "No, thanks."


    "Well, let me know if you get tired. We can take turns doing that."


    "Thanks for your kindness, but Mckenzie said it''s the Morgan family''s secret technique. It is not


    appropriate for outsiders to do these things." Grace said so on purpose.


    Hailee looked a little embarrassed when she heard that.


    She didn''t expect Grace to say so.


    Mckenzie rescued Hailee, "It''s okay. Just mash the ingredients. Do whatever you want, Hailee. It


    doesn''t matter."


    Grace paused for a moment, then she ignored them and went on with her work.


    ''Forget it, let them be!''


    Soon it was time for lunch, and the three of them sat down together.


    Grace didn''t like noodles, so she ordered coffee and some dessert.


    Perhaps because no one spoke, the atmosphere was quiet.


    Then, Hailee asked Grace first, "When are you going to have a baby?"


    Grace''s expression changed immediately.


    She looked up and said sharply, "I don’t feel obligated to answer your question."


    Hailee was stunned, "Just small talk."


    "But I don''t want to talk to you about this at all," Grace said bluntly.


    Her words were too tart, even harsh.


    Hailee''s face darkened. Grace then apologized at once, "Sorry. I have errands to run, and I''ve to


    go."


    With that, she bowed her head and stood up to leave the restaurant.


    With a swift movement, Mckenzie grabbed Bailee and shot an angry nce at Grace," Have you no


    manners?"


    Grace walked out of the restaurant, carrying the items on the table, without saying anything. She


    leaned against the bathroom wall, burying her face in her hands.


    Bailee’s words stabbed the sore spot for her.


    How could she continue to be polite?


    Bailee had made up her mind to move out of the Morgan vi, "Say no more, auntie. I


    really can''t stay at your house anymore."


    Mckenzie winced, "Don''t take offense at her. She says awful things when she''s in a temper. To tell


    you the truth, it''s not that she doesn''t want to have a baby, but that she can''t."


    Hailee was surprised at that, "She can''t? What''s the meaning of this?"


    "She’s been a lot of hospitals, but there was no way to get her pregnant. Not even IVF." Said


    Mckenzie, in dismay.


    Hailee was shaken to the core by that." What then?" She queried.


    "s! Forget it. She''s really unreasonable. How dare she speak so rudely? She just a woman who


    can''t even have a baby!"


    Mckenzie took Hailee to sit down and said meaningfully, "If you could have appeared three years


    ago, you must be Charlie’s wife and my daughter-inw now!" "Come on, don''t say that. Grace will


    be unhappy if she hears that."


    Hearing that, Mckenzie just chuckled.

    "Humph! You don''t know her. She''s a careless, even unconcerned woman. She won''t be unhappy


    about it. Whether it was her fault or not, she always looked confident."


    "She could do nothing but make others unhappy. And she always gets to get back!"


    Grace stepped into the restaurant as Mckenzie said this.


    Instead of moving forward, she stepped back and went outside.


    The sun outside was bright but harsh.


    Grace managed a perfect smile.


    ''Didn''t Mckenzie say that I was an unconcerned woman? How can an unconcerned person be


    angry and sad?''


    She couldn''t let them see how upset she was.
