Grace squinted and said, "If she moves in, then I’ll move out with Charlie!"
Mckenzie said with the resolution, "She has to move in, and you have to stay here!"
"Why? She's Charlie’s ex-girlfriend. Do you think it is a great idea?"
Grace countered in a firm voice, "Either she lives here or we live here! You have to choose one."
"Do you agree with her or me, Charlie? As the head of the Morgan family, can't I even decide this?" Mckenzie asked Charlie.
That gave Charlie a real headache. He was in a fix.
He was sandwiched between his mother and his wife. This decision was not easy to make.
After thinking for a while, Charlie said," Mom, there's a vacant and decorated apartment on South Lane. It's a good place to put Bailee, isn't it?"
"No, absolutely not. Bailee definitely won't agree to this. In her character, what would she think? She’ll think we're taking pity on her." Mckenzie rejoined.
"Do you know how I persuaded her to move in? I told her that I had a problem with my legs and asked her to accompany me to relieve my boredom."
Charlie looked at Grace and rubbed his temples helplessly.
Grace wouldn't budged on an inch.
"Again, if she comes, I'll go. I'm tired, and I'm going to bed."
With that, Grace turned to leave and ignored them.
Mckenzie clouded with anger and said, " Look at the state of her! That's outrageous! Hailee used to help us a lot. You know better than anyone how she treats you. But now she lives in a temporary house.Don't you feel sorry for her? Your wife is ignorant, are you the same as her?"
Charlie was frustrated and rubbed his temples hard, "I'll find a way."
