Charlie did not move, still sitting in his seat.
Grace finished the cup of water in her hand. She hooked her lips and said sarcastically, "Aren't you going after her? Aren’t you worried about her?"
" I think she needs to be sober and calm alone at this time." Charlie was still sitting in his seat.
"Don't you feel sorry for her? Actually, I feel bad for her. Look at her slender and pitiful back, and look at her delicate expression."
Grace squinted her charming almond eyes as she suddenly changed the topic. "But then again, this scene is quite well acted!" "What do you mean?" "You worked very hard to get your shares. You deliberately acted such a scene in front of me in order to let my guard down and take the opportunity to..."
Grace ended abruptly. Her smile became increasingly charming. She shook her head and said, "However, I am not going to be fooled. Your efforts are in vain!"
When Charlie heard what Grace said, he stood up suddenly and his expression became stern. "Do you think I'm acting? Do you think I do this for the purpose of your shares?"
"Of course." Grace replied immediately.
Charlie felt lost and helpless. He really felt like he was going crazy.
Walking over with big steps and pressing Grace against the wall, Charlie stared into her eyes and said word by word, "I didn't act! I swear I definitely didn’t act!"
"Do you think your swearing will help?"
"What exactly do you want from me? What do you want me to do to trust me and forgive me? Tell me!" Charlie felt very powerless.
"You have Bella to accompany you and help you relax. As for me, I have to suffer your reproach and my own guilty conscience. Why should I be treated like this?"
"I'm sorry! I was wrong!" He solemnly apologized.
Grace showed a charming and lazy smile.
"No, you were right. I was the one who was too stupid. I shouldn't have chosen to go to the restaurant to accommodate you in the first place. It's my fault for losing myself for you."
"When one of the spouses makes sacrifices, the other should understand. But you never understood and appreciated the sacrifices I made, because you took what I did for granted."
