True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz)

Chapter 266

Alice immediately flared up and said, "But Grace, this is not a place to talk."

They were at the entrance of the neighborhood with people and cars all around.

Of course, she said so because she felt that there was no need to say anything to him. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

She was still mad at Heinz for hurting Grace.

Seeing her strong reaction, Grace smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's just a short talk, Alice."

"If it's related to that man, don't say it," Alice said. "I don't think it's necessary seeing how he's treated

you."

"I know," Grace nodded. She fully understood that Alice was doing this for her own good.

Gary rolled his eyes after sensing that something was amiss yet again between his mom and the father

whom he had never met before.

No way could he let this happen.

Gary looked at Grace and came up with a plan. He said, "Mommy, he is the police officer whom I met

at the supermarket. Since you know each other, why don't you talk inside the house?

Grace was in a daze. It turned out that the child Jensen met yesterday was indeed Little Gary.

Feeling surprised, Alice asked, "Do you know him, Gary?"

"Of course I know him. This man seriously lacks selfconfidence. Cut him some slack," Little Gary said.

"Seems that fate brought us together again. Don't be too harsh on him, okay?"

Jensen's eyes lit up at once upon hearing that he could enter the house. They were obviously hiding

something about this kid.

He had to dig into this secret.

Furthermore, being able to step into Alice's house was a great honor, at least to him.

Alice gaped at Little Gary's suggestion. "Why did you invite him to our house, Little Gary?"

"Little Aunt, we just hit it off after meeting yesterday," Little Gary said bluntly. "He's my friend now. So

I'm only inviting my friend to my house. Would you like to pay a visit to my house, officer?"

"Of course I'd like to," Jensen nodded immediately.

Alice frowned and said coldly, "Who are you to enter my house?"

"I'm a friend of Gary," Jensen said while gesturing to Little Gary.

"Since you're his friend. Do you even know his name?" Alice felt irritated when she thought of allowing

Jensen into their house.

"Yes, Gary." Jensen said.

"His full name," Alice said.

Jensen became silent.

Gary said, "Little Aunt, it's not important what my name is. He is my friend. Didn't you and mom say that

you won't interfere with my social life?"

Alice was rendered speechless by Gary's words.

Grace as well.

Jensen immediately said, "Yes, I am Little Gary's friend. It feels like we've known each other forever,"

he said, not missing the opportunity the boy had given him.

Finally, Grace relented and said, "Little Gary is right. Let's go home. Please come with us, Officer

Charm. After all, it's not a suitable place to talk here."

Grace was thinking about what to tell Jensen.

"Sure," Jensen nodded. "Get in the car, Little Gary. I'll drive you there."

"Okay." Little Gary headed straight to Jensen's car without a thought.

Grace and Alice were still standing by the roadside.

"You too," Jensen opened the car door and gestured it toward Alice and Grace.

Alice gritted her teeth and said, "Let's get in, Grace. Don't let him take Little Gary away."

Grace burst into laughter. "You're too on edge, Alice."

"I'll do anything for my nephew," Alice said while hopping into the car.

Jensen, who was standing next to her, let out a sigh.

Grace looked at him and nodded slightly. "Let's go, Officer Charm."

So they headed to Grace's apartment together.

After setting foot in the house, Jensen scanned around and concluded that it was a warm and cozy

home. It had three bedrooms, which meant each of them had their own space.

Then he glanced at Grace and said, "What is it with this child, Grace?"

"Go play in your room, Little Gary," Grace said.

Little Gary threw her a suspicious look, "Mommy, are you trying to draw me away so that you could talk

about me?"

Grace nodded and said seriously, "Yes, there are some things that I don't want you to hear."

Little Gary pouted, but relented. "Okay, I'll go in now."

He quickly returned to his room and closed the door.

Grace then turned her gaze to Alice.

"I'm an adult, Grace. You don't have to draw me away," Alice said reluctantly.

"Go," Grace instructed.

Alice pursed her lips, her eyes filled with unwillingness as she left too.

Jensen exhaled and said, "You seem to have your way with them, huh?"

"They'd listen to me if I'm stern enough," Grace said.

She got up, poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of Jensen.

"Thank you." Jensen then asked without holding back, "Is that Heinz's child?"

"I won't answer this question, Officer Charm."

"Why?" Jensen asked.

"Don't tell him anything about Little Gary anymore. He doesn't remember what happened six years ago

at all," she said.

"So, he is indeed Heinz's son?" Jensen asked further.

Grace fell silent.

Her silence confirmed his suspicion.

He suddenly thought of something and said, "Ah. Six years ago, he worked together with me when I

was in narcotics. We ended up being drugged. He even got injured and was admitted to the hospital."

"But he had never said a word about it to me. I'd no idea that you..."

"It's all the past," Grace cut him off. "He knows that I have a child, but he thinks that Gary is someone

else's."

"You should tell him."

Grace explained, "I wanted to. But after testing him for a few times, he'd never breathe a word of

anything that happened. I don't want to do it anymore."

"I'll tell him," Jensen said. "I'll tell him the truth."

"Who do you think you are?" Alice sprang out of her room.

Jensen was frozen.

Alice barged straight to him, grabbed his wrist and pulled him up on his feet. "Come with me. Let's talk

in my room. You can never ever let that b*stard know."

Before Jensen could say anything, he was dragged into the room by Alice.

Grace could only watch helplessly.

In his room, Gary was eavesdropping by putting his ears against the door. He blinked slowly after

gathering what had happened.

Now he had to track down his father on his own?

Judging from his mom and aunt's reaction, he figured that his father was probably an unreliable man. It

was so bad that Little Aunt even equated him to 'b*stard'.

He let out a sigh.

He knew he had to work out a plan. A plan that could do his mom justice and at the same time make

his existence known.
