Chapter 1656


    "So soon?" Summer was amazed. "What about Santabaca? Will youe back?"


    "Maybe, maybe not. I don''t know. My mom''s there, so chances are that I won''t...” Grace replied


    slowly.


    "What about Charlie? Is there a chance you might forgive him after so many things happened?" she


    asked Grace in a very serious tone, gazing at her.


    Grace made no response. She just picked up the ss of water from the table and drank it in one


    gulp, wordless.


    Seeing her reaction, Summer let out a long sigh. "Actually, deep down there, you still have faint


    feelings for Charlie, right?"


    "Since when did you switch to coffee?


    Doesn''t your kid still need breast milk?" Grace asked instead of answering Summer''s question.


    "Do you know you''re trying to change the subject?" Summer stared deep into Grace’s eyes. "And do


    you know what this means?"


    Grace remained silent. She asked the waiter for another ss of water and began to sip at it.


    "Why are you silent again? Did I guess right? You still have feelings for him? Grace, I need you to


    be honest with me about this. Don’t keep anything back from me. Considering how close we are... I


    think you have no reason to conceal anything from me, given our friendship. Am I right?"


    Grace smiled, "Of course I know that, Ms. Hart. Well then, I''ll tell you the truth. You should know


    how much I hated Charlie in the beginning, so I never thought of forgiving him after leaving him.


    "When I met him again aftering back, I still felt nothing for him and didn''t change my mind at all.


    This is what I''m like.


    Afterward he gave me and Eaton all his shares in the Morgan Group.


    "To be honest, I was a bit incredulous and astounded, and I did feel faintly touched, but that was not


    enough to sway me or dissolve my resentment against him. It''s because that was hispany, and


    what to do with it was his call. Eaton and I never asked him forpensation of any forms. He did


    all that on his own ount. It had nothing to do with me. I wouldn''t sympathize with him or pity him.

    "Because he could totally just refuse to give me anything. He himself was the reason why he was in


    that situation. No matter how hard he tried to find favor with me, I could totally just ignore him.


    "But ever since he shed tears in front of me, I''ve been feeling very upset, especially


    after he dropped to his knees. My mind''s in a whirl..."


    That was a whirl of thoughts that she didn''t know how to describe. Anyway, she had a myriad of


    thoughts whirling around in her mind.


    The corners of Summer''s mouth twitched and she said, "Judging from what you just said, you''re still


    uncertain as to how you feel about him, but your hate for him has been ebbing away, and your


    feelings for him are different from before too. They’ve been slowly changing."


    Grace acquiesced in Summer''s opinion.


    She felt that Summer''s words were well-founded and hit home.


    "Actually, when youe around, you''ll find the whole thing very simple. You may try thinking about


    your rtions with him from another perspective. As the tensions between you and his mother


    intensified, the disagreement and enmity between you and him built up, and eventually he chose to


    seekfort from another woman.


    "Your marriage came to an end, and the only upside to it was that he didn''t conceal it from you. He


    didn''t keep you in the dark as if you were a fool.


    "In fact, if truth be told, there are problems in every marriage. What matters the most is how you


    deal with them, and whether you can choose the right method to handle them..."


    Grace always found Summer''s words convincing and reasonable, and Summer always pointed out


    the most important issue.


    "So all you have to do is get a grasp on how things between you two might develop. I''ll say nothing


    more about it..."


    On this issue, Charlie was much better than Billy.


    At least he had never slept with Be, and he had broken up with her as quickly as he could. He


    had only made a minor mistake due to his repression.


    But Billy had maintained his rtionship with that woman for years, which was an unforgivable


    deception.


    Grace nodded. "I heard they serve very good pizza here. Let''s just order and forget about all those


    things."
