The President's Accidental Wife

Chapter 1655

For a whole day the two of them did not speak to each other, and the atmosphere became very weird.

Normally, Charlie would drive into the garage of the hotel and then go upstairs to play with Eaton for a while before leaving.

But on this occasion, when the car reached the large supermarket which was a long distance away from the hotel, Grace suddenly said, "There are some things I need to buy before going home. You may go back without me."

With that she pulled the car door open, stepped out and closed the door, all her movements clean and smooth.

Charlie sat there with a wry smile, mirthlessness written all over his face.

Mixed distress and remorse were flooding over him in waves.

At that moment, a car pulled over. The driver was Parker, the newly installed president of the Morgan Group, who had once come into conflict with Charlie because of Bella.

"So it's really you, Mr. Morgan. I thought I was hallucinating. It's said you've been working as someone's chauffeur. You really don't need to do this, you know?

Have you forgotten how close we are? I can get you a job in the Morgan Group with a single call. Why do you make yourself look so pathetic?"

Parker deliberately made some sarcastic remarks to spite Charlie.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

"I don't want to put you to any trouble, Mr. Turner." Charlie’s face became as apathetic and frigid as usual.

"There won't be any trouble. Actually, I happen to be in need of a chauffeur. Would you like to take this job, Mr. Morgan? The payment and perks will be dozens of times the amounts of your current ones. You know I was never stingy," Parker smiled. " And you'll get all kinds of insurances and reserve funds as well."

Charlie's Adam's apple bobbed irritably, but his face remained unchanged. He inserted the car key, intending to start the vehicle.

Parker blocked his path. "Is the payment not good enough for you? Don't worry. Money won't be a problem. We're old friends. I'm sure we can work something out."

Charlie made no response to him. His frosty eyes raked Parker's face sardonically before he pressed down hard on the gas pedal and whooshed past him.

Enfolded by a cloud of dust, Parker spat, gave a cold snort and thought, 'I can't believe this guy's still so cocky in such reduced circumstances!'

Standing in a nearby spot, Grace saw the whole thing. She felt rather uncomfortable, and she also found Parker's behavior quite disgusting.

After returning to the Morgan family's villa, Charlie didn't speak to Mckenzie. He directly walked into his room and locked himself in it. He didn't even come out for dinner.

Even to this moment, his heart was still throbbing dully.

All her words, mien and attitude made him feel as if his insides had turned to ice.

Grace didn't go back to the hotel. Instead, she called Summer. Originally, she had wanted to drink some wine, but then she thought of Eaton and replaced it with juice.

Summer could tell that Grace was in a bad mood, which was why the latter was swigging juice non- stop. "What's the matter?"

"Charlie knelt before me earlier this day," Grace said.

Summer was momentarily surprised. It had never occurred to her that Charlie would do something like that, for he was a very proud man.

"But I chewed him out. I told him he'd been becoming increasingly distasteful and that he was acting like a pathetic lovesick puppy. I saw his back stiffen." She had a vivid recollection of that scene.

Summer gave a little sigh and, patting Grace's shoulder, said, "Think about what you suffered back then and the harsh words he said to you. This is nothing compared with that. You’re just giving him a taste of the pain he inflicted on you."

Grace forced a smile which was not very sightly. "I'll return to France in eight days."
