True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz) novel Chapter 1090

Lawrence said, "Since meeting your mother, I understood what it meant to be humble, and I could do that to her. But in the end, I still let my thoughts get the best of me and ended the last bit of her time in life."

Alice shut her eyes tightly. Thinking of her mother's death, she smiled bitterly, "That's my mother's choice. She chose such an ending because of her feelings for you. You don't have to blame yourself."

"There's a payback for every action." Lawrence said with a self-deprecating laugh, "I have never bowed down to anyone but your mother and my son throughout my life. I never thought that there would be a day where I will be sitting here, expressing my gratitude towards you guys."

"I also did not expect to be sitting here, discussing these things with you," Alice said, "There are indeed a lot of unexpected twists and turns in life. We will usually refuse in the beginning, but will always come to accept our fate in the end."

"Tell me, what happened between you and Jensen?" Lawrence asked again.

"I don't know," Alice shook her head, "I felt that he had become more childish recently and that he doesn't understand me enough. So I didn't have much patience with him either. In short, our relationship is kind of strained now."

"I can see that. Otherwise, you will be at home now instead of here, right? Shouldn't newlyweds usually be sweet and affectionate towards each other?" Lawrence took a look at Alice, took a sip of tea, and continued, "There's obviously something wrong."

Alice fell silent instantly.

That's probably the reason behind.

"It was the same for me and Heinz's mother. Sometimes, I would rather wander aimlessly instead of going home after work. Most of the time, I will only return once she has gone to sleep. You can say that I was deliberately avoiding her." Lawrence said, "When someone no longer wants to go home to their significant other, then it means the relationship has strayed from its course. Tell me, Alice, are you hiding from Jensen's request to make love?"

Alice blushed in an instant.

Lawrence's question was too blunt.

Lawrence saw her rosy cheeks and knew that he had guessed right.

He took a look at Alice and said, "Don't feel embarrassed. I've experienced most things in life. Although I am not your father, on behalf of your late mother, I hope that you kids will live a happy life too. So you can be honest with me, is that right?"

Alice didn't say anything.

She was also asking herself if Lawrence's question was true. Was she really like that?

"I can tell from your behavior that you are holding a grudge," Lawrence looked at Alice and said, "Alice, it seems that you're mostly the problem. Go home, it's already late, don't stay with this old man."

Alice stood up and said, "Yes, I should get going. It's getting late."

She stood up and prepared to leave.

Lawrence sent her off and said, "I'm really surprise to see you here today. I have to thank you."

"I am also very surprised that I actually visited you. I thought that we will never meet again in this lifetime but alas, I was the one to take the initiative. Strange world, isn't it?" Alice smiled and said, "Keep your hopes up, I'm sure Heinz will come around. You are his father after all, no matter how upset he is with you now, he will eventually forgive you."

Lawrence paused slightly, and a hint of selfmockery flashed across his eyes. "That would be wishful thinking. I don't want to hold on to such hope, butthank you for comforting me. You are a good child, and so is Jensen. Don't avoid when you can communicate. It won't do anyone good if you wait until the situation becomes irreversible."

"Thank you," Alice nodded, "I will."

Alice left immediately.

She drove straight home.

She arrived at the gate of Hart Villa District, but did not enter straight away.

She stood outside for a few minutes before finally opening the door and walked in.

However, the room was pitch-black.
