Chapter 267
Chapter 267
In a flash, Alice had dragged Jensen into her room. Grace found it ludicrous. Alice would really do
anything for her if she was willing to let her guard down and even allow a man into her room.
Grace felt touched by her sister's affection.
Because of her, Alice had let her guard down around men.
She got up and headed to the kitchen, thinking to cook something and treat Jensen to dinner.
In any case, she had to try hard for Alice. Perhaps Jensen was the one for her. Even if he wasn't, she
would not regret it since she had tried her best.
It was already progress made if Alice was willing to let Jensen into her room.
Grace instantly felt better and was optimistic about the future. As for her and Heinz, her feelings were
indescribable.
She was at a loss, feeling clueless and not knowing what to do.
The feeling of helplessness filled her heart in a way that she hadn't experienced before.
Once they were in the room, Alice pointed at Jensen, lowered her voice and said sternly, "I'm warning
you. I forbid you from revealing anything about Little Gary to Heinz."
Jensen gazed deeply at Alice with his dark eyes. He said in a low voice, "So, is Little Gary really
Heinz's
child?" "No, he's not," Alice growled. It was obvious that she wasn't telling the truth.
Jensen frowned, "Then why are you so agitated?"
Alice was stunned and didn't know how to dispute it.
Jensen was surprised to see the perplexed look on her face. There was a hint of a smile in his eyes.
"Alice, this is between Grace and Heinz. It's a fact that Little Gary is their child. I understand you care
about Grace and Little Gary, but do you think it's appropriate for you to call the shots?"
Jensen felt that he was just stating the facts and not being one-sided.
"I don't care." Alice said bluntly, "He was a popular guy among my classmates. I thought he was a very
upright man, but it turned out I was so wrong. He is a jerk for hurting my sister six years ago and
leaving her with Little Gary. Do you have any idea how Grace had been holding up for all these years?"
Jensen narrowed his eyes slightly. There was no doubt that it was challenging for a young lady to raise
a child on her own.
"I can imagine that."
"No, you can't!" Alice snapped. "What you're thinking is far from what Grace has gone through. You
couldn't possibly imagine what she's been through in such a short period of time."
Jensen was moved by her love for Grace.
He was touched by their fond relationship.
"In such a short period of time, Grace lost her childhood sweetheart, set up by Marry, gave birth to a
baby and-"
Alice didn't go on. The lost child was Grace's greatest sadness.
"She left her hometown and had never seen our beloved grandma ever since. And when I couldn't
stand Marry anymore, Grace took me in. It was her who taught me everything from nothing. We're
always there for each other without fail. I care for her more than I care for myself."
Tears welled up in Alice's eyes as she spoke. While full of righteous indignation, she felt deeply sorry
for Grace.
"Now she's back and also knows Heinz is the father of Gary. She was just trying to give Little Gary a
complete family, but how did he treat her? She can't be sacrificing her whole life for the sake of Little
Gary."
"So, you're definitely not allowed to tell him," she said.
Jensen gazed at her intensely.
He knew that there must be some misunderstandings.
But he kept quiet.
"Do you understand?" Alice asked anxiously.
Jensen looked at her with eyes full of uncertainty, "So are you threatening me now? Why would I give
in to you?"
Alice's eyes widened.
Looking at her surprised face, he couldn't help but notice her delicate facial features, bright eyes, and
red lips. She looked adorable even when she was angry.
"There has to be a reason, right?” Jensen's voice was slightly hoarse, and a faint smile appeared on
his lips.
Alice took a breath and said, "I don't care. You can't."
"Well, I can promise you." Jensen said, "But you said that I'm nothing to you, and even accused me of
having bad intentions toward you. On the other hand, Heinz and I are like brothers who grew up
together, isn't it an unrighteous thing to do if I don't tell him the truth?"
"By promising this to you, I'll have to risk my friendship. Why would I do that if I don't get something in
return?"
"What do you want?" Alice was puzzled. "This is about Grace. What does it have to do with you?"
"This matter is related to the Jones family. How could a child that belongs to the Jones Family be
wandering out there? If you're asking me to betray my best friend, you should at least show some
sincerity, right?"
"What sincerity?" Alice asked with a frown.
Seeing that she was giving him a wary look, he smiled and said, "What do you think?"
Jensen's smile was as sly as a fox. Alice's heart skipped a beat.
She said with a cold face, "I don't know. I can't read your mind for god sake."
"Well.” Jensen fixed his gaze on Alice and said, "Be my girlfriend."
Buzz-
Alice felt as if her head had just exploded.
She couldn't believe what she had just heard from the man in front of her.
Knitting her brows, she couldn't tell whether it was a joke or not.
Jensen stared at her without blinking. "Yes, you're right. I have a motive. When I first saw you, I had a
special feeling for you. I guess you can say that's love at first sight. I want you to be my girlfriend."
"How could you..." Alice was stunned speechless.
"Think about it," he said. "No doubt Heinz and I are good friends. But if you're my girlfriend, I certainly
won't say a thing to Heinz since it's only natural that I'm on your side. And also, he wouldn't be mad at
me."
Alice widened her eyes. "You're so cunning."
"So, deal?" Jensen asked with a smirk.
"No," she growled. "I'm not going to be anyone's girlfriend." Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
He shrugged. "Well, it's up to you. If you don't promise me, I will tell Heinz, as simple as that."
