"Grace..."
Grace Ziegler's eyes were brimming with tears, and she looked at her mother pitifully, "Can you please stop pushing me like this? You're taking rumors for facts. I try to explain, but you won't believe me. Do you actually want me to live in the mire for the rest of my life before you can be at peace?"
Ella Charles sighed and hesitated as well.
Even if Grace was engaged in shameful behavior, she still hoped to guide her back to the right path, to give Grace a chance for redemption.
Grace cried, and Ella felt a twinge of heartache.
Seeing her daughter turn out this way, Ella also felt she was at fault, blaming herself for not raising Grace properly.
At this moment, with Grace's emotions running high, it indeed wasn't the right time to continue the talk, "Okay, I'll rest a bit. We'll talk again tonight."
Grace Ziegler felt very annoyed and in a bad mood, but she didn't show it in front of her mother.
Grace also suppressed her fury as she went to cook for her mother.
