Grace's heart skipped a beat. Then she pursed her lips and said, "Okay, you can ask him. If he wants to go with you, I shall not object. If he doesn't want to go, you can't take him away by force."
"Alright," Heinz regretted the moment he agreed.
He was worried that Little Gary wouldn't want to go with him.
"That little kid hates me. Why would he leave with me?" Heinz thought.
However, Heinz still agreed.
He knew that he had to face his son eventually. Once Heinz was able to get Gary in his favor, Grace would never be able to run away again.
Heinz felt clear-minded upon this epiphany.
He immediately got onto his feet and pulled Grace up. "Alright, I'll send you back."
Grace was stunned and looked at him subconsciously. She was surprised that Heinz suddenly changed his mind, but at least it proved that he was trying hard.
It was a good start.
Grace looked at him and said, "Thank you. Let's go."
The two of them came out of the tent.
Heinz called Lester and said, "Get the car here and pick us up."
"Where are you?" Lester asked.
"The tent area on the lawn," Heinz informed.
"Yes, Sir," Lester said.
Grace walked out of the tent and stood on the ground that she had not set foot on for years, feeling emotional about it.
She looked at her grandmother's flower field from afar. It was quite a distance away, and Grace was unsure what condition the field was in at present.
Following Grace's gaze, Heinz saw the field and he also knew it was Grace's grandmother's. Heinz said, ''Marry and Simon tendered out that flower field. The municipal bureau may purchase it."
Grace was stunned. She looked at Heinz and asked, "Did they succeed?"
Heinz glanced at her and said, "It's not settled yet."
"What's going to happen to it?" Grace asked.
"I'm also trying to discuss it with Marry, but she was firm on selling it this time. I don't know what happened. Someone might have persuaded her to do so. At first, Jones Estate had an absolute advantage, but they suddenly called me and said Marry wanted to give it to Sunny Group. I'm trying to mediate the matter now," Heinz said.
"Then what are you waiting for?" Grace became anxious and said, "You should go attend to your work."
Heinz looked at her seriously and said in a low voice, "Don't you want to just be friends with me? Why are you urging me?"
In other words, Heinz was implying that since the matter did not concern him, why should he have to work hard to fight for it?
Grace didn't want to be his girlfriend, so Heinz was nothing to her. He did not need to step in to help her.
Grace was stunned and felt slightly suffocated. Yes, she did not have the right to ask Heinz for help.
Grace was silent for a moment and said, "You're right. I shouldn't have asked you to do that."
Heinz stared at her face and said with a flicker in his eyes, "But I like it when you ask me to help you out."
Grace was stunned again.
He grabbed her waist and pulled her into his arms. He lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Grace, I hope you can ask me for help because I don't want to be an outsider to you."
"I'm just that unlovable," Grace said flatly.
He was leaning too close to her. She tried not to think about anything, and she moved backwards slightly.
Heinz laughed in a low voice. "Yes, you are indeed unlovable. A lovely woman would act like a spoiled child."
Act like a spoiled child? Being coquettish?
Grace wanted to... if she could.
However, no one doted on her. Hence, being coquettish would only make her look silly.
