Chapter 1498
Then she mmed the door shut and left.
Grace drove aimlessly along the street.
Paying Summer another visit was not an option. The only ce she could go to was the hotel.
Gracey 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 thendline, 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 hourter, his assistant called Charlie back and told him that Grace had checked into a suite
of Hilton Hotel.
After hearing the reply, Charlie simply said, "I see." Without another word, he hung up, took off his
suit and, wearing his shirt, fell asleep.
He didn’t go to the hotel that Grace had checked into. He had been in a foul mood, and all he
wanted was some time alone.

The next morning, Summer called Grace and invited Grace to join her for breakfast.
When breakfasting, Grace confided to Summer her rtions with Charlie in an honest manner,
including the gulf and the unpromising tendency.
"He’s upset as well. Mark told me Charlie''s father died when Charlie was a little boy. It was Charlie''s
mother who brought him up. Given his mother''s current conditions, Charlie must be devastated right
now, so restrain yourself."
Grace exhaled deeply.
"I''ve been trying very hard to do that.
Really."
"That''s reassuring. When your rtions with Mckenzie went so sour that you insisted on moving out
of that house, Charlie, who was caught between you and her, chose you over her. He clearly
opposed his Mckenzie.
"After Mckenzie said those words in the two phone conversations between you two, Charlie tried his
best to pacify you, behaving as humbly as he could, but eventually you still rejected him, and you
even said Mckenzie was pretending and stuff like that. He didn''t get angry, and neither did he say
anything else.
"It was not until Mckenzie lost consciousness that his guilt consumed him. I think his resentment is
against himself rather than you."
Summer was trying to soothe Grace and help her see sense. Summer had perceived that Grace
and Charlie had been drifting apart.
"I knew that, which was why I didn''t lose my temper. I''m still subduing my anger." Grace slowly
poked at her breakfast with her spoon. "Otherwise I wouldn''t have made concessions again and
again in front of him."
"I''m d you know that. Marriage requires both sides to be considerate and understanding."
"Spare me the lecture, master of marriage. I need to go to the restaurant to handle the ingredients.
I''lle back as soon as I get it settled."
Her work in the restaurant was all about some trivial matters, but they were quite tiring. Grace found
her everyday life repetitious and tedious.
Days passed one after another. Grace went to the restaurant on time every day, and she was still
living in that hotel.
She thought that maybe Charlie would call her ore here to look for her.
But her guess was wrong. He had never shown up.
They were still giving each other the silent treatment, and Grace had no idea how much longer the
impasse wouldst.
It had never crossed her mind that someday she and Charlie would silent-treatment each other.
She had believed that she could handle Charlie without breaking a sweat.
But the facts proved that marriage and romantic rtionship were not as simple as she thought they
were.
