True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz) novel Chapter 1011

Grace didn't know whether to laugh or cry as she watched Ernest escape from the guest room.

Looking at him from behind, she sighed and thought to herself, "Maria is really on a whole new level. She even made my son escape before he could greet me."

Maria was a little dumbfounded as well as she stared at how Little Gary and Ernest left. She turned to Grace and frowned. "Aunt Grace, am I really such an unlikeable child?"

Grace looked at this little girl who looked so alike to Zachary. It softened her heart, thus making her shake her head, "No, you look so cute."

"Aunt Grace, are you trying to say that I look cute, but my behavior isn't cute?" Maria caught her hidden meaning almost instantly.

Grace felt a little embarrassed by her question in return. She didn't want to hurt her, but she didn't want to lie either, so she merely smiled as a response.

"Aunt, you're smiling without saying anything. Is it because you're feeling embarrassed?" Maria looked at her without any tiredness, although she slept late and just woke up.

She was impressed at how energetic Maria was.

Indeed, she felt embarrassed, hence she smiled and answered, "Maria, you look very cute, and I would like to believe that you are behaving in a very cute manner as well. If you're really lonely, we would understand why."

"Aunt Grace, what else do you want to say?" Maria instantly guessed that she wasn't done with her sentence yet.

Grace was truly amazed at the intelligence of this child. She spoke, "However, I don't want you to stay up so late every night. If you keep staying up past ten o'clock at night, your growth will be affected, and you'll end up as a short child."

"I doubt that matters since it's mostly dependent on my genetics, isn't it?" Maria blinked at her, "If my parents are very short, I would never be able to grow taller no matter how early I sleep."

"How would that not matter?" Grace smiled, "These are scientifically proven facts, so we should respect science since it forms the foundation of our lives, shouldn't we?"

"If you were to put it that way, perhaps talking too much is also a disease." Maria thought carefully and said, "Should I ask my mommy to bring me to a doctor?"

Grace was shocked by her question.

This child really didn't have a filter in her brain.

"Aunt Grace, I'm sick," Maria reiterated.

Grace broke into laughter. "No, you're totally fine and healthy."

"No, I'm sick. I need to be treated." Maria was serious about it. "I'll go and wash up now. After that, I can go find my mommy to ask her and bring me to a doctor."

Grace wasn't sure of how to comfort her. Instead, she smiled and said, "It's really fine. It isn't really wrong for you to talk so much. Why don't you turn it into a skill instead? Who knows if you could end up becoming a hostess in the future? That would match your talent then."

"No, I don't want to become a hostess," Maria shook her head very seriously, "I'm not suitable to become a public face."

"Why?" Grace was slightly surprised. "What a way to say that. Nowadays, men and women are equal in society. Wouldn't it be great for you to gain your achievements that way?"

"No, my ambitions aren't that grand." Maria shook her head. "That's not my biggest ambition in life."

"Then what is it?" Grace was shocked by her answer.

"Aunt, my biggest ambition is to find my daddy, and talk to him all night long without stopping," Maria responded seriously.

Grace's heart nearly skipped a beat.

If Maria really turned out to be her cousin's daughter, he was going to suffer so much. How could he handle talking all night long without stopping?

"Mmm." After thinking for a while, Grace answered, "Maria, why don't you go and find a cure for your so-called disease later with your mom?"

Maria was startled for a bit, and pursed her lips. "Aunt Grace, you think I'm sick as well, don't you?"
