Grace called Summer to make an appointment with her. As soon as Grace saw Summer, she told Summer the whole story in rage.
Summer poured a glass of water for Grace and told Grace to sit down first to calm herself. She couldn't say anything about this kind of problem, so she made no comment on it.
Talking was the best way to let off steam. Half an hour later, Grace felt her anger dissipate a bit.
Summer asked her, "Are you going back to the restaurant?"
Grace shook her head straight away. "No. I
happen to be a little tired. I'm going back to my apartment to rest."
Given her personality, Grace used to have no tolerance for this kind of problem at all. However, her temper really had gotten much better!
Charlie was at his office. At this point, Mckenzie called Charlie to tell him that Grace was rude and had a bad temper. And Mckenzie kept complaining to Charlie about Grace.
He rubbed his forehead and had to listen to her.
When he returned to the apartment in the evening, he saw Grace lying in bed asleep.
Going over to her, he said, "Did you and my mother have another fight?"
Grace ran her white hand through her hair in annoyance. Then she told him the whole story. She said, "She's really gone too far!"
"My mother is in a bad mood. Please try to understand how she feels. Besides, she must be unhappy because we insisted on moving out. And that was why she was so mad at you today. Just try to coax her."
Charlie said patiently to her.
"I knew she was in a bad mood, so I held back my anger and didn't say anything at first. However, more and more people came over to watch us fight. Not only did she not stop quarreling with me, but she also got more aggressive."
"I wanted to please her, but she had to give me a chance to talk. And I'm really tired of working at the restaurant all day long, so how will I ever have the energy to coax her again?"
