When Charlie returned to the bedroom and saw Grace lying in bed, he sprang at her in surprise.
Unexpectedly, Grace kicked him away with one kick and sulked, "Don't go that far! I haven't got even with you!"
Charlie managed to hold Grace in his arms and explained," I didn't know she moved in until I came back. I knew it a little earlier than you. Really."
Grace said grumpily, "Your mother has gone too far! I'm only giving you a few days. Find a way to get her out of here!" "No problem!" Then Charlie got his hand into Grace's underwear.
"What a cheek!" Grace grumbled.
Charlie snorted, but his hand didn't stop.
As the night got deeper, Grace fell asleep.
Charlie was thirsty, so he wore his bathrobe and went to the living room to get water.
However, a dark figure in the living room made him gasp. "Who’s there?" he asked.
A tender female voice replied, "It’s me." It turned out that the dark figure was Hailee.
Charlie frowned slightly and got a glass of water. He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Why didn’t you go to bed?" It would be impolite and embarrassing if he said nothing at that moment.
Hailee turned around and said, "I’m thinking of my father."
Charlie comforted her flatly, "Life has its natural course, and death is everyone's ultimate destination. Don't be too sad."
"I'm not thinking about his death, but about his bribes!"
Bailee looked deeply into Charlie's eyes, " Do you think he is that kind of person? You've been dealing with him for so long.
You know him very well, don't you?"
On second thought, Charlie said, "Some things cannot be concluded by guesswork.
