"Nope."
Grace was still drinking water.
"Oh, um, one more thing. Both Charlie and I are against you recognizing Hailee’s son as your grandson! We’ll move out of the Morgan family’s villa if you insist."
"Are you threatening me?" Mckenzie asked solemnly.
"I'm over 50, and I don't have a grandchild. Why can't I adopt one?"
"Look, I insisted that you stay at the villa because no one would talk to me if you left. Now, you can move if you want. I won't stop you. Hailee and Jovanny will stay with me anyway.”
Charlie was right. It didn't work on Mckenzie. Then Grace cast an angry look at Bailee.
Mckenzie felt anger rising inside her and called Charlie.
"I'm over 50, and I don't have a grandson. Can’t I adopt one?"
"You don't have any kids and even threaten me!"
Charlie had seen it coming.
That gave Charlie a real headache, and he rubbed his temples, "Mom, I have no objection if you recognize any other child as your grandchild. But Bailee is my exgirlfriend. You know about it, don't you? Bave you ever considered Grace's feelings? Don’t you think you're out of line?" "I'm way out of line? Isn’t it outrageous that she can't have a baby? Anyway, I've made up my mind. You can move if you want. Whatever you want. Okay? Do not stop me! That's it."
Although Grace had no idea what they were talking about on the phone, she could tell by listening to Mckenzie.
After a sip of water, Grace put the glass on the table. It seemed that nothing came from this argument.
