A Contract Marriage After a ONS novel Chapter 1593

It was almost evening. Billy came to see Charlie. He brought some fruits and some spicy seafood.

Sitting by Charlie's bed, Billy enjoyed the delicious food.

Charlie frowned. He had got used to Billy. Charlie just had some light food.

Smelling the aroma of seafood, Charlie also wanted to have a taste.

"How do you have time to come over today?

"I heard you were in the hospital, so I came to see you," Billy said casually. "I heard you almost passed out when you were about to sign the divorce papers.

Charlie ignored him. "Didn't Mark come with you?"

"He had to go pick up Summer. How would he have time to see you? He has a family! He's not a bachelor like you and me."

Charlie didn't respond. Billy sighed, "Both he and you should thank me. If you hadn't come to my wedding, how would Mark meet Summer and you meet Grace? Now, Mark is the happiest man among us!"

Then there was a long silence between the two. After a long time, Charlie asked, "Why did you cheat on Sherman?"

"I didn't intend to do that at first. Sherman said she forgave me, but she would bring it up every day to blame me. At first, I was patient. I could comfort her. It was my fault, after all." "But you know my temper. I’m a proud man. She kept bringing it up, and I got tired of it. I was sick of the tense, oppressive air in the house. I'm sick of being depressed. I want to relax..."

Billy leaned back on the couch and sighed, ” I was relaxed outside. Then I got even sicker of home, and I didn't want to go back.

"Now that I think about it, Sherman wasn't at fault at the time."

Charlie didn't say a word. He was lost in thought.

"But why did you make the same mistake as I did? Don't tell me, because I know well...

"I think Miss McCall is a nice girl. Why don't you marry her?"

Charlie glanced at him. Billy shrugged his shoulders, "I'm telling the truth. By the way, did Grace adopt a kid?"

"Why do you ask?" "The other day at the party, I heard that a child had a cold. Then Grace left with a panicked look on her face. She never liked children. She always said babies were noisy and annoying. But she looked so anxious. That's not like her at all. Or is she a stepmother now?"

Billy narrowed his eyes and continued, "I think she's unusual. Or maybe she did adopt a kid?"

Charlie knew no more than Billy did. He knew nothing about it before Billy talked about it. Charlie's brows furrowed.

Bella had been standing quietly aside. She was listening to their conversation, but she didn't say a word. "Grace adopted a baby? She became a stepmother?’

"Forget it! You have nothing to do with Grace in the future. It's none of your business to care about what she’s doing. What I said is all crap. Live a good life with Miss McCall. I'll give you guys a big gift..."

At Billy's words, Bella, who was standing with her back to them, curled up her lips slightly. She felt so happy.

Now, people were speculating that Charlie would marry her.
