When Grace returned to the Morgan family's villa in the evening, she saw Bailee coming down from upstairs with a suitcase.
Mckenzie stopped Bailee from leaving.
Charlie stood nearby and frowned, "What happened?"
"Charlie, look what Grace has done! Bailee did nothing when we ate at the restaurant at noon, but Grace threw a tantrum at Bailee." Mckenzie said shortly.
Grace heard that clearly. She was irritated outwardly and inwardly.
'Shit! What the hell are they playing at?
Isn't it enough that they disgust me in the
restaurant?'
Charlie looked at Mckenzie in disbelief.
"What do you mean by that look? Would I have wronged Grace? Listen, your wife lost her temper with others for no reason. How rude of her?" Said Mckenzie angrily.
Charlie turned around and saw Grace behind them.
He winced because he knew that Grace must have heard all this. "You're back, Grace." He said gently.
"Um." Grace took off her coat and sat casually on the sofa, crossing her legs and sipping water.
Charlie went over and asked softly, "Did you throw a tantrum at Hailee today?"
"For me, that isn't a tantrum. But I have no idea what others think." Grace said flatly.
An atmosphere of tension filled the house, and Grace seemed to have no intention to bow. Charlie nudged Grace and whispered," Say sorry to her."
"No way."
Then Grace sipped water and leaned comfortably on the sofa.
Actually, she had planned to do so, but after hearing Mckenzie's comments about her and seeing Bailee's somewhat hypocritical behaviors, she decided not to.
