A Contract Marriage After a ONS novel Chapter 1656

"So soon?" Summer was amazed. "What about Santabaca? Will you come back?"

"Maybe, maybe not. I don't know. My mom's there, so chances are that I won't...” Grace replied slowly.

"What about Charlie? Is there a chance you might forgive him after so many things happened?" she asked Grace in a very serious tone, gazing at her.

Grace made no response. She just picked up the glass of water from the table and drank it in one gulp, wordless.

Seeing her reaction, Summer let out a long sigh. "Actually, deep down there, you still have faint feelings for Charlie, right?"

"Since when did you switch to coffee?

Doesn't your kid still need breast milk?" Grace asked instead of answering Summer's question.

"Do you know you're trying to change the subject?" Summer stared deep into Grace’s eyes. "And do you know what this means?"

Grace remained silent. She asked the waiter for another glass of water and began to sip at it.

"Why are you silent again? Did I guess right? You still have feelings for him? Grace, I need you to be honest with me about this. Don’t keep anything back from me. Considering how close we are... I think you have no reason to conceal anything from me, given our friendship. Am I right?"

Grace smiled, "Of course I know that, Ms. Hart. Well then, I'll tell you the truth. You should know how much I hated Charlie in the beginning, so I never thought of forgiving him after leaving him.

"When I met him again after coming back, I still felt nothing for him and didn't change my mind at all. This is what I'm like.

Afterward he gave me and Eaton all his shares in the Morgan Group.

"To be honest, I was a bit incredulous and astounded, and I did feel faintly touched, but that was not enough to sway me or dissolve my resentment against him. It's because that was his company, and what to do with it was his call. Eaton and I never asked him for compensation of any forms. He did all that on his own account. It had nothing to do with me. I wouldn't sympathize with him or pity him.

"Because he could totally just refuse to give me anything. He himself was the reason why he was in that situation. No matter how hard he tried to find favor with me, I could totally just ignore him.
