However, everyone's eyes fell on the suitcase in Grace's hand. Mckenzie asked," Why are you taking the suitcase?”
"I'm moving out." In front of everyone, Grace answered briskly and frankly.
Charlie walked through the crowd and up to her, taking the suitcase from her. "Yes. Didn't Mom agree yesterday?"
Mckenzie clenched her teeth in annoyance. In front of all the guests, Grace was humiliating her!
Grace took the suitcase, planning to leave with Charlie at this moment deliberately. She was telling everyone that she and Charlie wouldn't accept Jovanny.
However, in front of so many people, Mckenzie couldn't lose her temper.
She said stiffly, "Then wait until after the party."
"No. It's a bit far from here, and we still have some things to do, so we're leaving now." Grace didn't even give her an out.
Mckenzie suppressed her anger and went forward. She pretended to kindly hold Charlie and Grace's arms. "It's lively here. Come on. Stay a little longer."
Charlie stared at his mother. He couldn't bear to embarrass her, looking at Grace.
Grace frowned. Seeing his eyes, she compromised.
Charlie curved his thin lips slightly. His large palm passed over Mckenzie and fell on Grace's slender waist.
Both from the front and from the back, it seemed that he hugged his wife and mother.
The crowd praised that they were a tight family.
The party was held because Mckenzie wanted to introduce Jovanny to everyone, but now Grace upstaged him.
Hailee stood still. Her face was gloomy, and her fingertips sank into the tender palm.
Yet she forgot that she was still holding Jovanny's hand. Immediately, Jovanny felt pain.
Though young, Jovanny was very good at reading people’s minds. He stared at his mother and gently shook her hand. "Mom, what's wrong?"
