What Hailee did and said hinted that Grace was the one to blame.
Hailee acted as if Grace would turn into a beast and eat her child the next moment!
"Tell me how I scared him." Grace's sharp gaze fell on Hailee.
Charlie got up and strode over. He then put his arm around her shoulders, gently reminding her, "Cool down."
"She hasn't told me what she means by saying that." Grace refused to let it go.
There were a lot of guests here, occupying the large living room of the villa.
If word got out, Grace would lose face. How
could she still live in this city?
Jovanny was still burying his head in Bailee's arms, looking extremely afraid.
Grace's chest heaved as she saw this.
However, Charlie squatted down as she was about to speak again, caressing Jovanny's back with his big palm.
"Okay, don’t be naughty. Grace is an adult. How could she intentionally bully you? She must be careless, so she spilled hot water on you. You're a little man. You'll forgive Grace, won't you?"
Hearing this, Grace was dissatisfied. She didn't do that, and why did she have to apologize to the boy?
Yet she knew that Charlie was helping her.
Unhappy as she was, Grace controlled herself.
Bailee's eyes moved. She quietly glanced at Charlie, dropped her eyes, and held Jovanny in her arms.
