After Grace contacted Summer, they went to a mall. Grace bought some new dresses for the coming summer. Then they went to a cafe.
Charlotte had a cold and was put on a drip, and Summer would be uneasy if she didn't stay with Charlotte. After drinking coffee, Summer went back to the Valentine mansion, leaving Grace alone in the cafe.
Thinking of that morning, Grace hesitated, then took her phone from her fringed handbag and called Charlie.
Charlie answered immediately.
It was their first call since they gave each other the silent treatment that night.
Grace spoke first, "What do you think about that?"
With that, Charlie pushed aside the papers he was signing, "Mckenzie has made up her mind. It doesn't matter what I think."
Grace's tone became cold, "So, are you going to compromise?"
"Do you have any idea? " Charlie asked.
"I wouldn't call you if I had a solution. I want you to find a solution.”
Charlie leaned against his chair and said meaningfully, "This problem is anything but easy. "
"We can threaten Mckenzie that if she accepts Bailee's son as her grandson, then we will move out of the Morgan family's villa. What do you think?"
Charlie frowned, thought for a while, and then said, "Just try it, but I suppose it probably won't work."
Charlie's father died early, and Mckenzie raised him alone.
Charlie remembered that his father was not at home when he was sick once when he was a child. And it was Mckenzie who carried him to the hospital at midnight in winter.
Also, during the company’s downturn, Mckenzie took out all her savings to help the company tide over difficulties. Charlie respected Mckenzie from the bottom of his heart.
