True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz) novel Chapter 404

Grace and Heinz were both surprised to see Alice and Jensen coming in through the door.

"I am back!" Alice announced.

"You're back. That's great!" Grace said with a smile. "You're just in time for dinner."

Noticing the table full of dishes, Alice exclaimed, "If I had known that there was going to be so much good food, we wouldn't have bought more."

Jensen was carrying several bags of groceries.

The four of them looked at each other. Grace laughed, "I thought you're not coming back. Just put them in the fridge, well keep them for tomorrow."

"I've missed you. So I decided to come back for dinner." Not intending to greet Heinz, she did not spare a glance at him.

Anyway, Heinz didn't mind at all. He glanced at Alice before saying to Jensen, "Are you a police officer or a butler? Have you become addicted to carrying things and running errands?"

Jensen shrugged and retorted, "Aren't you running errands too?"

"It's only natural for me to feed my woman and children," Heinz snorted.

Jensen snorted in response, "Marry her then if you're so capable."

"Back at you!" Heinz refused to admit defeat.

Looking at the two men engaging in a duel of words, Grace said, "Mr. Jones, mind your words."

Heinz was dazed and became aware of his tone. He asked hopelessly, "Must I ignore his insults then?"

"Hey, you started it first," interjected Jensen.

Heinz replied, "So what?"

Grace let out a long sigh before laughing. It seemed hard for him to get rid of his bad temper.

A leopard never changed its spots!

"Grace, are you coaxing Heinz out of his bad temper?" Jensen threw a glance at Grace and asked with a smile.

"Sort of," she nodded.

"Well, I advise you to just forget about it," he said.

"He couldn't change. He was born with it."

"Scr*w you!" growled Heinz as he pointed at Jensen. "Grace, look, you could only use malicious words against this kind of person. Otherwise, you could never gain the upper hand."

Alice went to wash her hands, ignoring them. Then, she grabbed a piece of garlic bread and ate it.

"Wow, it's delicious!" Alice exclaimed. "Where did you buy it?"

"It's made by his chef," Grace replied.

"His chef?" Alice said as she turned to look at Heinz.

"Yes," Heinz confirmed. "If you like it, I'll bring more over next time."

As if startled by that offer, Alice put down the food and stopped eating.

Heinz drew his brows together. He understood that Alice was not fond of him. He didn't say much and went straight to Little Gary's room. He knocked on the door and shouted, "Little Gary, Ernest, come out for dinner."

"Coming!" they replied before coming out together.

Upon seeing Alice and Jensen, Little Gary was thrilled. "Little Aunt, where have you been? Why did you suddenly leave for so many days? Don't you know how worried I am?"

Alice was moved by Little Gary's words at first. Then, she suddenly realized something and said, "Are you serious, little guy? You are worried about me? Didn't you stay at Ernest's place for the past few days? Are you just trying to be polite?"

Feeling exposed, Little Gary paused for a moment, and said, "I'm indeed worried about you. But what I'm worried about is whether you and Uncle Charm have made up. Nothing else."
