True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz) novel Chapter 263

After ending the call, Alice immediately cleared the floor and returned to the house. She said to Grace, "I'll be out for a while."

"Where are you going?" Grace asked while appearing from the kitchen.

"There's a friend who needs my help. It won't be long. I'll be back in an hour or so."

"Okay." Grace didn't ask anything further.

After getting changed, Alice left the house with a bag of garbage in her hand.

When she reached downstairs, she noticed Simon standing alone.

He looked depressed.

Alice was startled. She frowned and said coldly, "Why haven't you left yet?"

"I Simon was stunned seeing Alice, and then there was a glimmer of light within his eyes.

"You're waiting for me to leave so that you could talk to Grace alone, aren't you?" Alice was quick on the uptake. Throwing him a knife-like gaze, she said, "I can easily see through you."

Simon was at a loss. For a moment when he saw Alice, he was covertly glad that he could grab the chance to talk to Grace.

But being sharp as a tack, Alice easily worked him out.

Simon felt embarrassed as if she had seen through all his thoughts.

Being backed into a corner, Simon said, "It seems that you're prejudiced against me, aren't you?"

"Yes." Alice nodded bluntly and said, "You're so shameless that it disgusts me so much!"

Seeing that she'd gotten changed, he guessed that she should be going somewhere.

After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Forget about it. I'm leaving."

"You should have left a long time ago," Alice said while rolling her eyes at him. "It's really sickening."

Simon returned to his car and drove off.

All of a sudden, Alice wondered why would Simon leave so easily after lingering around for so long?

She suspected that he would come back. How would he give up such a great opportunity?

Alice rang Grace and said, "Simon was still here. Watch out and don't answer the door without checking."

"What?" Grace asked in surprise, "Why hasn't he left yet?"

"He must have wanted to talk to you in private, or god knows what evil intentions he's having." Alice said, "Actually, I'm thinking why don't we move to another place? The security here is poor to say the least. It's safer that we move to a stricter area."

Grace considered it and agreed, "It makes sense."

"Let's discuss it later when Little Gary is back, okay?" Alice said.

"Okay." Grace said, "Family meeting."

"Alright." Alice hung up the phone and called Jensen.

After a while, the call was connected.

Jensen's voice came from the other side, "Alice, you're here already?"

"Not yet. Actually, I've been held back by something. Do you mind coming to Emerald Apartment instead?" Alice asked politely.

Jensen laughed and said, "Of course I don't. I'll go right away. Sorry, I should've sent it over to you. My bad."

Alice didn't think that Jensen would be so docile and apologetic.

She pursed her lips and said, "Sorry to trouble you, Officer Charm. See you."
