True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz) novel Chapter 1074

Heinz blinked and looked at his wife silently for a long time. He knew that Grace was a sentimental woman.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have raised Lowell at all.

She actually longed for familial bonds.

It seemed that he wasn't aware of that fact. However, emotionally, Heinz still couldn't forgive Quinn's actions.

"Honey, I understand how you feel and I know how to deal with it rationally. But I just can't bring myself to forgive her." Heinz looked at her and continued, "I can't take any more risks. Whenever I'm reminded of her intentions, I get scared.

I get chills just thinking about it. We were lucky that she hadn't flat-out poisoned you, if she did, do you think you would still be alive?

And it's not just one life we're talking about here. Quinn would have taken three lives at once. Should I be thanking her for not poisoning you outright?"

How could I do that? Why should I risk not holding her accountable for the sake of making peace? Even if I do forgive her, who's to say she won't do it again in the future?

We've forgiven Marry, Simon, even Jodie, as well as my father and your mother. But what did we get in return?"

Heinz recalled all the incidents; he felt disappointed in humanity sometimes.

Grace looked at Heinz with a hint of tenderness in her eyes.

After a long while, Grace eventually spoke, "Heinz, what we get in return is peace of mind from a clear conscience."

Heinz eyed her in disbelief.

Grace leaned over and cuddled up to him.

Heinz silently held her in his embrace as his warm breath landed on the top of her head.

The weather was getting colder by day.

Summer had long passed, making way for late winter.

They cuddled close to warm each other up.

Grace held his hands tightly and said in a low voice once more, "Heinz, I know how you feel and the thoughts deep in your heart. I know we shouldn't be pushovers, but it's better for us to just forgive and forget, it'll be good for our children's growth and development as well. I believe as long as we do what's right, our children will receive great blessings."

Heinz only let out a deep sigh. He understood and respected Grace's wishes.

He also firmly believed that handling things like this should be able to net him some good karma.

"Alright. I won't blame my brother-in-law anymore, but I still can't forgive Quinn. So, I'm sorry. If you want me to go against my conscience and forgive her, I'll just get aggravated. That's all I can do, for now, so please don't persuade me, alright?" Heinz held Grace's hand and added, "I respected your decision to forgive her, so I should hope you'll respect my decision to do the opposite, okay?"

Grace chuckled in his arms and said, "Okay. It's all up to you whether to forgive her or not anyway. I just hope we can face everything in life calmly."

"Alright." Heinz didn't say anything else.

"I wonder how Little Gary, Ernest, and Lowell are doing now. I didn't get to answer the phone last night, what did you say to them?" Grace looked at Heinz in concern. "I kinda miss them."

"They're fine," Heinz said. "I only told them you had diarrhea last night. I didn't mention anything else."

"That's good!" Grace replied.

"But Little Gary could tell something was off, so he called back today," Heinz went on. "This morning, actually."
