The President's Accidental Wife

Chapter 1647

Deeply touched, Charlie hugged Mckenzie tightly. He had so much to say, but when he opened his mouth, only one word came out. "Mom!"

"Don't get too excited. I must warn you at the outset that I'm not making concessions to her. I'm doing this for Eaton's sake, but I still have a lot of grudges against her."

"I'm positive she’ll grow on you. Actually, her bark is worse than her bite. You'll see that once you get more acquainted with her.

Mckenzie made no reply to his words.

"You were married to her for several years. How could I not have gotten acquainted with her well enough? You don't have to put in good words for her. Nothing will change my opinions of her.

"Also, Bella's a good girl. Since you've made up your mind, you should stop wasting her time. I'm saying this because I don't want her to wait for you in vain any longer."

Charlie opened his mouth and was just about to speak when Bella walked inside, bags in hand. She brought a lot of gifts with her.

The look in Charlie's eyes flickered. He glanced from Mckenzie to Bella before he said candidly, "You need to stop visiting this place."

Bella's smile froze on her face at his words.

Even her slightly bent upper body stiffened. She couldn't understand what he meant.

"Like I said, nothing can stop me from getting back with Grace. I've never thought of giving up, and I should never have said any of those words to you. Please allow me to apologize to you.

"If you keep doing this, she'll misunderstand. In these circumstances, I can’t afford to allow any misunderstanding or accident to happen between me and her. Also, you and I should put an end to the mistake between us."

Charlie put it in an explicit and blunt way.

Bella didn't speak. Instead, she looked at Mckenzie.

"You're a good girl, and it's indeed not Grace but you who's my favorite, but my son's made up his mind, and then there's also Eaton. It's true I don't like Grace, but the odds are still in favor of her.

"Previously I kept thinking of letting you stay by Charlie's side, for if he failed to get back with Grace, he'd still have you, but now I've realized it's indeed very unfair to you.

"A misfortune has befallen on your mother's leg, and your father's in reduced circumstances too. Yesterday 1 saw your parents. I don't have the heart to keep being so cruel to you, so please go and find your own path. Let go of your obsession."

The speaker was Mckenzie.

"I love him. I'm not afraid of waiting. I can wait as long as it takes. I really can!" Bella was insistent.

"There are circumstances in which you need to know where the limit is. It'd be best if you know when to let go, but if you don't, I'll show you I have my own ways of dealing with things."

Bella felt a throb in her heart as if it were being ripped apart. Was it really necessary for them to put it this way?

"Women can't afford to wait that long, and women's youth is too short, so you need to understand why I'm doing this, Bella, though I also hope you'll wait and my son will change his mind.

"But there's no telling if any of those will happen. It all depends on the divine will. If your paths are meant to cross again, you two will be together—"

Mckenzie still wanted to smooth things over.

But Charlie interrupted her, "It's getting late. I'll have my chauffeur drive her home."

With that he grabbed Bella by the arm and strong-armed her out of the Morgan family's villa.

His chauffeur was already waiting outside. Charlie shoved her into the car. "I was indeed wrong to give you hope. Now I'm going to shatter all the hopes you're holding on to. I have no feelings for you whatsoever. Just go, and don't ever come back!"

Although Mckenzie hadn’t consented to it yet, she was swayed.

And Grace's attitude towards him had softened a little as well. He couldn’t afford to make even the slightest mistake at this crucial juncture!

Eventually Bella was forced into leaving by the chauffeur.

The chauffeur locked the car doors, and she couldn’t open any of them, no matter how hard she tried. Her face contorted with

anger.

Charlie always arrived very early to pick her up. He would buy her her favorite breakfast and then wait in the car. His care and concern for her could be deemed scrupulous.

He always kept in mind her favorite foods and favorite beauty products, and he would buy them all and deliver them to her whenever he had the chance.

Every day he bought a bouquet of flowers and put it on her desk.

The expression in Grace's eyes flickered as she looked at the flowers on her desk. Out of the corner of her eye, she sneaked a glance at him...

Now Charlie could take almost everything into consideration. He was meticulous. No matter whether Grace could think of it or not, Charlie always covered all the bases.

Bella had called in sick, and she hadn't come to the company for four or five days. She had been sleeping at home all along, and she hadn't even been eating.

Her mother pushed open the door of Bella's room and called Bella's name in a low voice, a frown on her face.

Bella ignored her mother and pulled the quilt over her head to block out her mother's voice.

Nobody could get through to her, and she didn’t want to hear anybody's voice. All she wanted was to stay in her room alone.

"You can't stay at home away from the company forever, can you?"

"Why should I go to the company?"

This time Bella abruptly threw back the covers and sat up. "There's deep enmity between the new president and me. How am I supposed to work in there when he keeps harassing me?"

Her mother stiffened. She hadn't bargained on hearing about this. After giving it some thought, she said, "Did Charlie call you in the past few days?"

"No."

Bella's chest was heaving in and out. There hadn’t even been a text message from him, let alone a phone call.NôvelDrama.Org © content.

"He's always been a good entrepreneur, hasn’t he? And he's quite business-savvy too. Now that you can't stand working in that company, you might as well go and start a business with him." "Start a business?" A grim smile touched Bella's lips. "His mind is completely occupied by Grace. He's been working as a babysitter and a chauffeur for her at the same time. He's rushed off his feet. There's no way he can spare a thought for something like this."

Her mother furrowed her brows. "He's given all the shares in the Morgan group to Grace and her child, hasn't he? Is he not anxious at all? That's a huge enterprise. He's really okay with that?"

"He's totally okay with it, and he doesn't care at all. The other day I was worried that he might be upset about his company, and I suggested starting a business with him, but he’s completely uninterested."

After hearing her words, her mother lapsed into silence.

"I'm not afraid of suffering hardships or setbacks, as long as he puts his mind to it, but he has no intention of doing that whatsoever, so no matter how hard I try, all my efforts will be in vain." Bella was really heartbroken.
