Chapter 1653


    "Grace met him before you did. That''s what they call predestination or fate. If Charlie had met you


    first, I think things might have turned out differently.


    "You should listen to me. Let it go, and set your heart free. Charlie wouldn''t have been so ruthless to


    you if he still felt anything for you. Don''t you think so?"


    Be remained silent.


    Mckenzie didn''t know if she had talked any sense into Be. Afterward she received a phone call


    from the restaurant and then left.


    Be’s mother brought Be some food and told her that she should eat some.


    Surely she couldn''t let herself starve?


    "He would never be so merciless to me for no reason. Grace must’ve bad-mouthed me behind my


    back and coerced him. That''s why he''s treating me like this. Yes. That''s the reason. I''m positive of


    it..."


    Be kept bobbing her head while speaking, looking as if she had found the correct answer.


    Her mother was stunned at her words. She felt that Be was no longer in her right mind.


    "Be, you must not think of it that way. It''s really just because you and Charlie are not meant to be


    together. Your aunt wants to fix you up with a guy. You should spare some time to meet him


    tomorrow," her mother added.


    Having seen how things had turned out,


    her mother began to regret it.


    She should never have drummed it into Be that she must marry a rich man.


    She bitterly regretted having done that.


    As Be''s mother, she naturally wanted Be to have a happy life and be in an enviable position. In


    fact, it was totally normal for Be''s mother to have that kind of thought, but it had never urred to


    her that Be would be so obsessed with it.

    After hearing Be''s words, she felt that Be''s mentality had be faintly abnormal.


    Be, without thinking, shook her head and refused tly. "No! I don''t want that!"


    Her mother tried her best to convince Be, but all her words just went in one ear and out the other.


    Grace had started to make preparations for her journey back to France. She was having a phone


    conversation with Dominick, talking about her uing return to France and her work.


    Eventually she fixed a date. She would depart in eight days.


    Charlie was standing right beside her so he heard her every word clearly. He was experiencing


    drastic mood swings, his chest heaving in and out violently.


    After hanging up, Grace returned to her desk, sat down and began to work. She was rushed off her


    feet.


    Charlie had be much quieter in the past few days. Unlike the talkative man he used to be, he


    was now silent most of the time.


    It was a long moment before he walked over and ced his hands on Grace''s shoulders, his


    Adam''s apple bobbing restlessly, his eyes glinting imploringly. " Tell me, what do I have to do to get


    you to stay? What do you want me to do? Tell me and I''ll do it right away."


    His eyes were deep-set, and now they seemed as if they were veiled by a sheen, glistening and


    moist.


    For some unknown reason, Grace suddenly recalled what his eyes had looked when he cried the


    other day. They had looked exactly the same as they did at this moment.


    The look in her eyes flickered. "My whole career is in France."


    After saying those words, shepsed into silence.


    Charlie began to tremble uncontrobly.
