Chapter 1461
The man''s words were clearly alluding to her, saying his watch was stained...
Just because Bailee touched his watch, he bluntly threw it into the dustbin.
Did he know what such an act meant to a woman?
It was really humiliating, and it stung more than a p on her face, especially when it was in the
presence of Grace!
No woman could bear such humiliation.
Grace did not expect Charlie to be so resolute. Her eyebrows were slightly furrowed. To be honest,
she found Charlie so manly at the moment!
Grace straightened her dress and walked into the restaurant as if she didn''t see theplicated
expression on Bailee’s face.
A woman got to have dignity. If a woman had self-respect, then no one could ever insult her or
trample on her feelings!
Sometimes a woman asked for insults herself. She couldn''t me anyone for that.
Grace had no pity or sympathy for Bailee. She walked forward.
Grace didn''t feel as fit as before. After a while, she felt tired. After a short break, she went back to
work.
Bailee was absent-minded the whole time. As she was cleaning the sses, she identally broke
one, and the shard of ss cut her hand. Immediately, blood flowed out of the wound.
Mckenzie cried out in shock. She hurriedly asked the waitress to get a Band-Aid.
Hailee came back to her senses. She sucked her finger in her mouth and shook her head, saying
she was fine.
After some hesitation, she said, "Mckenzie, it was because of me that Charlie and Grace had
moved out. I don''t feel good about that. It''s better for Jovanny and me to move out."
When Hailee moved into the Morgan family''s vi, it was for Charlie.
Now, since he no longer lived there, it didn’t make much sense for her to live there.
"Jovanny is my grandson. He should live here. Who dares to talk nonsense behind my back? Or did
Charlie and Grace say something to you?" Mckenzie got angry immediately.
"They didn''t say anything, but I can see it for myself. If I keep living there, it''s not good for anyone."
"There''s no need to move out. If anyone has a problem with it, let hime to me and say it to my
face!" Mckenzie was determined.
Grace was really feeling tired. She sat and rested for ten minutes. Then she got up and stirred the
ingredients. Maybe the break was a little too long. A slight smell of burning came out.
And Mckenzie smelled it. "Is it burnt?"
Grace answered, "I''m not feeling well. Maybe I stirred a littlete."
Mckenzie immediately became unhappy." Are you not feeling well every day?"
"I really don''t feel well." Grace really felt tired.
"Yesterday and the day before, you also said you didn''t feel well." Mckenzie''s face was cold. "I don''t
want to hear that excuse next time. And don''t scorch the ingredients again!"
Then Grace was alone in the ingredient room. She cursed in a low voice, took a break, and
continued her work.
In the afternoon, Charlie came to pick her up. Grace pounded her back lightly. She felt some
soreness in her back.
"I''ve made a reservation in the restaurant. Let''s go now." Charlie picked up the handbag beside her.
Mckenzie was wheeled out. "Are you going to the restaurant? Bailee and I haven''t been to a
restaurant in a while. Let us join you."
Grace gave an almost invisible frown. She rubbed her brow with both hands. She didn''t say
anything.
Charlie didn''t say anything either.
"What? You''re not happy about us going?"
Charlieughed softly, "No, I was thinking I should call the restaurant to book arger table."

In the end, the date for the two turned into a dinner for four. The car drove on through the rain and
headed for the restaurant.
Charlie had made a reservation at the restaurant. Their booth was next to the window. The four all
ordered steaks and some desserts.
Lately, Grace had a good appetite and she ate a lot, especially desserts.
After she finished all her dessert, she ordered some more.
Mckenzie was unhappy with her, but she didn’t say anything. She just said to Charlie, "Do you have
any friends of
Bailee''s age? Introduce Bailee to a nice guy.
Bailee shook her head hastily, indicating that she was in no hurry to find a boyfriend.
"I will if someone is suitable for Bailee," Charlie replied. Be caught Grace reaching for a ss of
wine from the corner of his eye, and he hastily stopped her, "I remember you said you weren''t
drinking anymore?"
Grace narrowed her eyes and pped the back of her hand. "I forgot about it. My bad."
Despite the presence of Mckenzie and Bailee, Charlie and Grace were talking very intimately.
Hailee nced at the couple indifferently and didn''t say anything. She could only concentrate on her
steak and drinking her wine. But she felt the food was tasteless.
After dinner, Mckenzie asked Charlie to drive them back to the Morgan family''s vi. But the
restaurant was closer to Charlie and Grace''s apartment and a little farther from the Morgan family''s
vi.
Charlie looked at his watch. It was already after 9:00 pm. If he drove Mckenzie and Hailee back
first, it would be almost 11 p.m. by the time he and Grace got back to their apartment. So he said to
his mother,"It’s toote. I think you can take a taxi."
"All right, then. We’ll take a taxi." Mckenzie replied. Since Charlie said so, she couldn’t insist. She
didn''t want to tire her son out either.
After watching Mckenzie and Hailee get into the taxi, Grace patted her stomach and eximed, "If I
had said that to Mckenzie, she would have been angry with me!"
That was the difference between son and daughter-inw!
In the taxi, Mckenzieined, "It''s like they say when a boy gets married, he doesn''t care about
his mother anymore."
Hailee asked, "How did they get married?"
"Charlie proposed Grace. I never liked
Grace, but Charlie insisted on marrying her. He’s almost thirty. But when he has a temper, he acts
like a teenager."
Hailee was disappointed to hear Mckenzie''s answer.
She had thought that Grace had pestered Charlie and that Charlie had fallen for her.
She couldn''t believe that Charlie loved Grace.
Just a few years ago, under the cherry tree, Charlie and Hailee promised that they would love each
other for the rest of their lives. That scene was as vivid as yesterday in Hailee''s mind.
Hailee kept the promise to now, but Charlie had long forgotten it.
She felt indignant. The fire of anger was zing in her chest. But she had to suppress it.
