True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz) novel Chapter 398

In the ward..

Nathan was lying on the bed as he received his drips.

Pearlyn was on the bed next to him. She murmured, "Nathan, just let it go. Look, Heinz had done his best for us, what else could we ask for?"

Nathan looked pale, but he managed to pull on a long face.

"His... his child is already five years old," Nathan brought up what had been bothering him again. "He looked like he was not finding any woman, but he was with someone behind our backs. And it was immediately after the death of our daughter."

"So what?" Pearlyn sighed, "Still, our child had gone."

Her child had gone and what could be more important than that?

Nathan straightened his back. He could not overcome the hurdle in his heart.

"I hoped that he could be happy with another woman but I didn't expect it to be that fast. He didn't love Jodie. Do you know that? He didn't love her."

Pearlyn's eyes was red.

She comforted him, "Does it matter whether he loved her? Don't you understand? Our child is gone and it's no use thinking about it. Why do you want to be the bad guy? I've seen that girl. She is beautiful and gentle and she looks like a good match for Heinz. She is a simple and plain girl. It's not surprising that Heinz fell for a girl like that."

"You're missing the point," Nathan retorted. "You don't understand what's on my mind. What I mind is that he had let go of Jodie in a short time! Jodie suffered so much because of him. How could he just turn around and hook up with another woman? They even had a child and hid it from us all these years. He's a hypocrite."

"Nathan." Suddenly, Chief Stone's voice came from the door. "You're agitated again."

Nathan turned to look at the door.

He sighed, "Queenie, how could I not be angry? He hid it from us. We've told him and even persuaded him to find a girlfriend but he always acted like he's not interested. He acted like a loyal widower when he already had a child."

"I think there might be some misunderstandings." Chief Stone explained, "We all know that Heinz is not that kind of person. There must be a reason behind this. I heard that the girl had just returned with the child after suffering a lot of hardships."

"But he already has a child," Nathan could not help complaining. "I felt I was deceived. For so many years, I felt sorry for him, but he deceived us."

"Heinz just knew about the existence of the child recently," Chief Stone added. "Nathan, you have gotten the wrong idea."

"Fine. I know you like him. I like him too and because of that, I find it difficult to accept the fact that I was being deceived," Nathan said.

"Queenie, please advise him. Your brother-in-law is being stubborn again," Pearlyn said helplessly. "You've always persuaded Heinz to find a girlfriend but you're acting like this when he finally found one. Nathan, we've lived for so many years, so what's the big deal? We've lost our child. Does it even matter anymore?"

Nathan was taken aback by her words. He was at a loss for words for a long time.

Chief Stone let out sigh and said softly, "Indeed, it's no big deal. Pearlyn, Nathan, aren't you two at the age where you should enjoy life without a care of the world?"

Nathan went blank. After a long pause, he asked in an impatient tone, "Did he visit today?"

"Yes. He came but you said that you didn't want to see him." Chief Stone added, "I've asked Heinz and his assistant to leave."

"They just left?" Nathan raised his voice.

"Do you think they'll stay here and infuriate you?" Chief Stone uttered, "You're so angry and you would definitely fly off the handle if he enters this room. It's not easy for Heinz these years. Just let it go, Nathan."

Nathan did not speak anymore.

He pursed his lips and seemed very displeased.

Chief Stone glanced at her cousin and taunted, "Look at the big baby. It seems that he has really grown old."

"Queenie, I don't know what to do. Heinz didn't do anything wrong. Nathan is just getting senile. He was furious just because of Jodie. But in fact, he's the most reasonable one."

"Pearlyn, I know," Chief Stone chuckled. "I believe Heinz won't take it to heart too."

In the Jones Estate..

Heinz sandwiched a cigarette between his slender fingers as he stood in front of the French window. One end of the cigarette was lit and wisps of white smoke drifted out from it.

Lester came in and greeted respectfully, "President."

Heinz turned to sit down on his executive chair before raising his head to look at Lester.

"Lester, please pay more attention to Mr. Lawson."

"Yes!" Lester replied.

"Also, order a bouquet of Gerbera daisies for me."
