Chapter 1652


    "I''ve been having trouble sleepingtely. Sometimes I even get woken by a nightmare immediately


    after I drift off. I keep having the same dream. In it you turn around and walk away without even a


    nce at me, leaving me gazing helplessly at your merciless receding back.


    "I''m scared. I''m really very scared. That kind of fear is bone-deep. It makes me very uneasy...”


    He spoke very slowly, enunciating each word, his face etched with dejection.


    Grace stiffened momentarily and her eyes rested on him.


    "Even I myself have no idea how it came to this. Grace, I..."


    After saying that, Charlie did not know how to continue.


    Considering how things had turned out, it seemed that he should tell her everything and try his best


    to have her change her mind, but he also felt there was nothing he could say that would make a


    difference.


    He was a man, one with a fairly sessful career, but in terms of love life, he didn''t have a clue


    how he had been put in such a situation.


    The look in Charlie''s eyes flickered as his Adam''s apple bobbed. There seemed to be something


    sparkling in his deep-set eyes. It was faint, but Grace could see it clearly.


    If her guess was right, the glistening things in his eyes were tears.


    Grace saw them. Her heart was hammering, her throat dry.


    At this moment, she recalled something that he had once said.


    "As a man, no matter how great the ordeal is, you have to endure it, because a man has no right to


    show weakness. There are many people behind you who rely on you.


    "If you go soft, they''ll lose the only one they can count on!"


    Grace had never seen him like this. She had known him for such a long time, but this was her first


    time seeing him shed tears.


    Beneath her gaze, Charlie felt his upset flooding over him in greater wavers, and he couldn''t subdue


    it, no matter how hard he tried. He actually felt a sting in his eyes.


    Before tears rolled down his cheeks, he turned around and said with feignedposure, "Wait


    here. I''ll go downstairs and buy you some clothes."


    Having finished speaking, he left without a backward nce.


    Grace sat in her chair. There wasn''t a shred of her usual casualness or indifference on her face,


    only indescribable somberness.


    "Men do not shed tears easily," as the saying goes. When he pivoted around, she had distinctly


    seen tears sliding down his cheeks.


    She hugged her knees, her whole body as rigid as her toes.


    Before long, Charlie returned. His face was as handsome as always, its contours distinguished and


    soft. "I got you some clothes. Try them on."


    All the clothes fitted her very well. Clearly, he was very familiar with her sizes.


    After she dressed, it was time to punch out. The two of them went downstairs and sat into the car.


    Charlie drove her back to the hotel.


    If the circumstances were different, Charlie would definitely talk non-stop, and even Grace wouldn''t


    be able to silence him.


    But on this asion, things were very different. He didn’t utter a single word.


    Grace didn''t speak either. The mood in the car was subdued. Both of them kept silent.


    Andrew, after opening the door, saw Grace''s clothes and narrowed his eyes. "I remember very well


    this was not the outfit you wore when going out this morning. Is there something you''re not telling


    me?"


    Grace made no response. She just asked," Where''s Eaton?"


    The look on her face was rather uncharacteristic of her. That was obvious.


    Charlie, instead of going inside as usual, nodded politely at Andrew and turned around.


    "Why are you so polite to me today? And why do you look like a normal person?" Andrew stroked


    his smooth chin with his slim fingers. "Is there really something you’re keeping back from me?"


    Meanwhile.


    Shortly after Charlie returned to the Morgan family''s vi, Be showed up again. She stood right


    outside.


    The very sight of her gave Mckenzie a headache. "Charlie, her mother just called. She said Be''s


    still suffering from a high fever and that we should cut her some ck." "Mom, we can''t afford to be


    soft-hearted this time. Just go to sleep."


    Charlie''s mood didn''t seem to have improved today. He had dark circles under his eyes, and his


    face was sullen.


    Unsurprisingly, Be passed out again shortly afterward.


    Charlie called his chauffeur and had both the chauffeur and his personal doctor send her home. He


    instructed the doctor to give Be medical treatment on their way to her home.


    Be had thought that she woulde around to find herself inside the Morgan family''s vi, but


    unexpectedly, she was in her home. Looking at her mother, she asked with mixed surprise and


    delight, " Was it him who drove me back here?"


    Feeling rather awkward, her mother just called Be''s name softly.


    It was synonymous with a negative reply.


    Blue veins throbbed visibly in Be''s temple. She couldn''t understand why Charlie was still so


    merciless to her.


    Previously, when she had been waiting outside the Morgan family''s vi, he had refused to let her


    in. Earlier today, she had stood there with a high fever and even fainted at the front gate, but he had


    still refused to let her in!


    "Be, let it go..." her mother sighed deeply, sounding resigned.


    But Be clenched her teeth and said, "I can''t be like this anymore. I can''t..."


    Her mother couldn''t understand her words. She was baffled as to what Be meant by '' I can''t be


    like this anymore."


    What on earth did she mean by that?


    Mckenzie felt that her son had gone too far.Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org.


    Be was indeed annoyingly persistent, but she was seriously ill, and letting her into the house was


    no big deal, was it?


    In the past Be had done a lot for them, and Mckenzie felt obliged to go and check on Be.


    Of course, she didn''t tell Charlie her n beforehand, for she knew that if she told Charlie, he would


    definitely keep her from going there.


    Having learned that Be was at home, Mckenzie bought some gifts and went to the McCall family.


    After opening the door, Be''s mother froze at the sight of Mckenzie standing outside, and then she


    hurriedly ushered Mckenzie into the house.


    Be also saw Mckenzie, looking hard done by.


    Mckenzie patted Be''s hand.


    "I know you feel wronged, but Charlie has made up his mind. Once he makes a decision, nobody


    can sway him. Besides, he and Grace have a child. You really should just let it go.


    "It''s very unwise to risk damaging your health. You know, there are countless men out there. He''s


    not the only one. Good men can be found everywhere. It''s totally unnecessary to be obsessed with


    him."


    "But none of those men is him! There are many men out there, but there''s only one Charlie


    Morgan!"


    Mckenzie still couldn''t get through to Be.
