Grace said firmly. Her eyes were gloomy.
"Summer, that’s impossible. You are married, so you should know that what can damage a marriage is not quarreling but being silent and running away."
Summer didn't say a word.
She had thought that the most immature among the three of them was Grace.
Yet Grace was the most mature.
"You know. I can't stand it anymore. The work in the restaurant is hard, and Charlie gives me the silent treatment every day.
"There is no communication between him and me. As long as I go back to the
apartment, he will leave. Even though we stay together, he rarely speaks to me. We sleep in the same bed, but back to back.
"I tried to talk to him, but he never gave me a chance.
"I'm so tired. I even wanted to give up at that time. Thus, I asked you and Sherman if I'm responsible for Mckenzie's faint.”
After draining another glass of wine, Grace casually wiped the corner of her mouth, closing her eyes.
"You both said yes, so I held on.
"When I get up in the morning, he has left. When I return in the evening, he stays in the study with his endless work. We have no time to spend together.
"I deeply felt that we couldn't go on like this or we would be more and more distant from each other. I thought I had to do something.
"So, even though I was tired, I brought lunch to the company every day at noon to eat with him.
"But he just told me not to go there anymore. Okay, I asked him to go out for dinner with me. He still refused. Summer, do you know how sad I was?"
Summer wanted to cry.
Walking forward, she hugged Grace, weeping bitterly.
Grace would have put on a slight smile and spoken sharply, though heartbroken.
Now she had vented out her sadness. It was a good thing.
Summer gently patted her on the back, quietly soothing her. She didn't stop Grace from drinking.
Everyone had an outlet for their emotions. Summer thought she shouldn't stop Grace.
Grace had suffered for so long, and things had become like this. She must be very depressed. Summer decided to accompany her.
Grace bit her red lip so hard that it was left with bite marks.
She was crying. Her tears were like scattered pearls, rolling down her cheeks.
Summer was afraid that Grace would pierce her lip. She suppressed her sorrow, asking Grace to open her mouth. "Just cry out. It will be alright..."
