After a while, Mckenzie was still persuading her to stay. "Bring Jovanny here and accompany me."
Hailee didn't speak, as she was staring in the direction where Charlie was.
He seemed lost in thought, and no one could guess what he was thinking about.
With an overcast expression on his face, he picked up the water glass and drank up the water.
He acted a little rudely, with some water flowing down the corners of his mouth, which clearly showed his bad mood at this time.
Mckenzie thought Hailee was unwilling to stay here, so she persuaded, "Stay here. You and I can still chat together. If you leave, I'll be so lonely."
"Auntie Mckenzie, it's not that I don't want to stay here, but that Jovanny has to go to school every day. It' not convenient for him to go to school if he lives here, as it is too far from his school.”
"Don't worry. There are a lot of servants in our family, and so are the drivers. I’ll arrange for drivers to pick up and take off Jovanny to school every day." Mckenzie added.
Hearing this, Bailee quickly declined.
"It's not appropriate to bother the drivers."
"Don’t worry about troubling the drivers. They are idle at home every day, and we pay them salaries every month."
Bailee was still a little hesitant.
"But, it's really not convenient. I..."
"Just stay here." Mckenzie interrupted her directly and said again. "I'll go talk to the drivers."
Charlie didn’t seem to hear the conversation between Mckenzie and Bailee. He turned around and walked upstairs.
Staring at his back, Bailee withdrew her gaze, and she became a little unhappy.
Mckenzie glanced at Charlie and said," Charlie, don't go upstairs. I have something to say to you."
He stopped.
There were several important projects in progress at the same time, so he felt tired.
He was even more exhausted when he encountered such an annoying thing after returning home.
So, he wasn't in the mood to please Grace or eat humble pie.
He reached out to pull the quilt, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.
Grace hadn't slept yet, as she was still waiting for Charlie to please her.
But after a long time, she found that Charlie didn't plan to do anything. She turned her body and looked at him.
Charlie's breathing was steady, as he had already fallen asleep.
At that moment, Grace became even angrier.
She lifted her foot and kicked his leg slightly to vent her suppressed anger.
