Chapter 173
Heinz Jones stood at the door. Just as he was about to twist the door handle and enter the room, he
heard a man's voice coming from inside. "Grace, please don't cry."
Heinz was stunned. He looked into the room through the window. With his sharp vision, he saw that
Simon Brown seemed to be comforting Grace Smith while holding her in his arms.
From his angle, he could see that Simon's hands were hugging Grace's shoulders.
Damn it.
His eyes darkened.
Grace was devastated when she read the contents of the letter. She was sobbing in regret.
The letter wrote: "My dearest Grace, when you see this letter, Grandma may have already passed on
and will never be able to see you again.
I don't know why you ran away from home, but Grandma knows you well. You must have met some
difficulties.
Little one, why didn't you look for Grandma when you encounter difficulties? Is it because your sister
married Simon?
Did you leave because you're sad?"
Both Marry and Simon believed that was the reason, but Grandma didn't think that was it. But if that
was truly the case, you wouldn't be so sad that you end
up running away from home. Plus from what I'd seen, I didn't think you liked Simon that much.
Little one, I don't know if I will be able to hang on until the day you come back, and I might leave one Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
day.
If that happens, I'll let Simon pass this letter to you.
No matter what happens, I hope that you will one day return home and face the truth with courage. And
I hope you would be kinder to Marry and not argue with her. It is difficult to talk sense with her
sometimes.
"As for Alice, you two have been close since childhood. Marry is easily jealous of others, this Grandma
knows. I hope that you will able to guide your sister in the future. My only wish is for you two to live your
lives happily. If that happens, I then would be at ease when I leave.
No matter where you are, I hope that you are safe and sound."
The letter was not long.
That was it.
Grace read it very slowly, word by word, and it made her burst into tears.
When she finished reading, she felt even more sorry. She regretted that she did not see her
grandmother for the last time.
That's right, why didn't she go back sooner to see her grandmother?
Why did she avoid seeing her after she got pregnant?
She was afraid that her grandmother would be sad to see her get pregnant before getting married. She
used to be her grandmother's most beloved granddaughter, and she was afraid of disappointing her.
She didn't even know who the father of the children was. And when she gave birth to them, one of
them passed away.
She was deeply immersed in sorrow. When she realized that Marry might have a role in this, she
decided to run away from home. She didn't expect that that would be the last time she would see her
grandmother.
Tears fell from her eyes continuously, and her body was shaking.
Simon used the tissues in his hand to wipe away Grace's tears. When he saw that Grace was crying so
sadly, he stretched out his hand and put it on her shoulder.
Grace was so distracted that she did not notice that Simon had his hand on her body and he even
pulled her tightly into his arms.
Suddenly, Grace came to her senses and struggled to push him away.
"Grace." Simon hugged her tightly and did not let her break free from him. He whispered in a sad tone,
"Grandma left very regretfully in the end. If you didn't leave then, how wonderful would it have been?
Grandma was thinking about you all the time."
She continued struggling but failed to break free. When she heard his words, she bawled even louder.
"\Noo..." Grace was overwhelmed by her grief.
She was so frustrated that she just wanted to cry with all her might.
At this moment, Heinz flung the door open.
His eyes fell on the two figures hugging each other.
Simon was holding Grace tightly in his arms while she was crying, her tears never seemed to stop.
"Has she ever revealed her emotions in front of me before?" Heinz thought.
Heinz narrowed his eyes and looked at them gloomily.
"Grace, we once shared our beautiful past at the flower field." Simon whispered, "Let's beg Heinz to
spare the flower field, for Grandma, as well as for you and me."
Grace paused for a moment. She immediately reached out to push Simon away at the thought of
Heinz.
Just then, a cold voice rang in the room. "Are you done hugging?"
Grace instantly raised her head and saw Heinz standing by the door.
Heinz's manly eyes were covered with a layer of coldness, and he looked angry.
His pair of eyes, which were sharper than blades, looked directly at her.
Their eyes met.
Grace froze all of a sudden.
She looked at Heinz in shock. "Why are you back?"
"Ha!" Heinz sneered and said, "I wouldn't have been able to witness the intimacy between you two if I
didn't come back. You even hugged each other?"
Grace suddenly came to her senses and pushed Simon away.
She shook her head. "No, it's not what it seems. It's a misunderstanding."
"Misunderstanding?" Heinz scoffed and his eyes were full of suspicion.
At this moment, Simon slowly turned around and faced Heinz with his pale face. He also raised his
eyebrows, and his eyes were full of arrogance.
"It's really a misunderstanding." Simon said in a low voice, "Grace was depressed. I just wanted to
comfort her."
Heinz didn't say anything and completely ignored Simon.
He knew what Simon was thinking about.
However, what he cared about was Grace's attitude. Just a while ago, she begged him to relinquish his
rights over the land. However, just minutes later, she was already in Simon's arms.
Their flower field?
Hah.
Heinz raised the corner of his mouth in mockery and just stared at Grace.
Grace was stunned by his cold gaze.
He did not speak, but his eyes were obviously telling her that he was doubting her.
She stood there with the letter from her grandmother in her hand, struggling the words to say. But when
she saw that Heinz was looking at her angrily, the words that she wanted to say were suddenly stuck in
her throat.
If he really doubted her, anything she say would not change his mind.
Even if she tried to explain otherwise, Heinz would not listen.
She laughed at herself in her heart and eventually lowered her head with a forceful smile. She rolled up
the letter and put it in her pocket.
"Simon, you can leave now," Grace said.
Simon was stunned and he looked at Grace worriedly.
Grace did not look at him, but said, "Please go out."
Simon did not say a word. He stared at her deeply and walked out.
When there were only two of them left in the room, Grace raised his head and looked at Heinz with a
calm and sad look.
Heinz looked into her eyes and said coldly, "So you don't only fling yourself at me, but also at your
exboyfriend, who is also your brother- in- law, at any time and place. Grace, what kind of woman are
you?"
Grace was rooted to the spot after hearing his words.
Her eyes and mouth were opened wide, and her mind went blank. "What did you say?"
"Ha." The man snorted sarcastically, and his voice was cold as ice. "How do you think I should think of
you now?"
Grace gawked at him with her eyes full of shock. It felt like her heart was just stabbed.
