Charlie resignedly rubbed his eyebrows." Yes, you're right."
"I can only try my best to do what I've promised. I won't hide what I can't do or cheat.”
"Alright. Take a bath first. I'll settle it, okay?
"You don't have to force yourself or think of a way for me. Just tell Mckenzie what I just said and see what she plans to do."
"Leave it to me, and remember to run me a bath."
Charlie kissed her cheek and hugged her. Charlie was a little thirsty and went downstairs to get some water.
Mckenzie was still sitting on the couch in the living room, watching TV.
"Mom, why don't you go to bed?"
He took a sip of water.
"Now that Grace has agreed to help you, you shouldn't push her. It’s not easy for her to compromise. If you still put pressure on her, she may be annoyed."
"I won't give in. I'm old. I don't have much time to manage the restaurant. She has to take it over in the future unless she’s not your wife. Then there will no longer be such a problem.”
Mckenzie didn't yield an inch.
"You should know how important this restaurant is to our family. We have so many properties, but why do we insist on running a small restaurant?”
Charlie hugged her shoulders. "Mom, you are making it difficult for me."
"If she loves you and can back down, then how will it be difficult for you?"
Charlie was upset.
He couldn’t convince both of them!
