True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz) novel Chapter 1923

Ernest's expression became serious and he raised a brow. "I would never allow another man the chance to pursue you, you can only be mine."

"Oh? So you actually do care, then? You looked as if you didn't care at all," Leah said.

Ernest smiled. "Well, that's because he's not really in your life. If he was, I will definitely not allow it."

Leah shrugged. "Now that you put it that way, I think you're right."

Ernest smiled. "Do you have any other suspicions?"

"No." Leah looked at him again and said, "I don't have anything else to ask. I was just really curious about this substitute who's writing for me."

Ernest was slightly stunned. He thought that something seemed off about Leah's reply.

But he couldn't tell what it was.

He just smiled without saying anything.

The Jones Estate.

Clinton reported to Heinz, "President, Norval is Miss Winston's mother's stepson. He seems to have a crush on Miss Winston. He brought Madam Larson with him to Northern City. They've stayed there for a couple of days now."

"Does Ernest know about this?" Heinz asked.

Clinton nodded immediately. "Yes, President Jones. Young Master Ernest got me to look into Norval. I'm informing you to keep you updated."

"Alright." Heinz smiled imperceptibly. "Keep a close eye on them. Don't alert the enemy."

"Norval has some pretty powerful connections as well. He came well- prepared. He tracked Miss Winston down before we could."

"Looks like he isn't someone to be underestimated. What was Leah's reaction to him?"

"Miss Winston didn't react much at all. She seemed very impatient with him," Clinton told Heinz everything he knew.

Heinz nodded and tapped his fingers lightly on the table of the mahogany desk. He looked at ease like nothing could affect him.

Clinton knew that the president had been keeping an eye on the children and cared a lot about them.

Clinton thought that it must be great to be born into the Jones family.

Heinz knew that as long as Leah was aware of who her boyfriend was, there would be no problems.

The glaring issue between Ernest and Leah was that they had to live apart and maintain a longdistance relationship.

Heinz furrowed his brows and there was a touch of worry in his eyes.

Clinton noticed it and immediately spoke up.

"President Jones, I think Young Master Ernest understands what's going on perfectly. He is also confident. You don't have to worry too much."

"I'm not worried. I know Ernest will do good. It's just that sometimes, we're not as unscrupulous as certain people. I'm worried that if we are complacent, people with bad intentions will take advantage of us."

Clinton immediately said respectfully, "Don't worry, President Jones. I will keep a close eye on Norval. Even if Young Master Ernest leaves for London to study, I will have someone look after Miss Winston and not let anyone with bad intentions take advantage of her."

"That sounds good. We should make preparations in advance, just in case."

"President Jones, you can leave it to me!"

"Let's go. Send me home." Heinz stood up and prepared to head home.

Everything in the company was running smoothly recently, so he did not have to stay in the company all day. He wanted to go home and accompany Grace.

Meanwhile, Ernest and Leah had already returned to Northern City.

They went back to Leah's apartment.

As soon as they entered the apartment, Leah made her way to the bathroom, planning to take a hot shower, change into some comfortable clothes, and rest. After sitting in the car for so many hours, she felt a little tired.

As soon as she took off her clothes, the door to the bathroom opened before she could turn on the shower.

Leah immediately looked at Ernest in shock. "What are you doing here? I'm going to take a shower."

Ernest silently stared at Leah. His eyes were burning with intense desire. He swallowed, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down. The sight was very sexy to Leah.

Just when Leah thought that he would pounce on her, he said, "I wanted to tell you to take a shower and get some rest. I'm going out to buy something."

Leah was suddenly embarrassed by her train of thought. "What are you going to buy?"
