True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz) novel Chapter 527

"Grace, who is this?" Alice asked Grace quietly in the car. "How can there be such a good looking man in Entertainment Daily? He is gorgeous."

"He is not from Entertainment Daily." Grace sounded astonished as well. "I don't know him. Let's go quickly and see what the matter is from our so-called cousin."

"Okay." Alice nodded and followed Grace out of the car.

They walked towards Entertainment Daily.

The attractive man stood at the entrance. When he saw them, he looked at the both of them with piercing eyes.

One could not overlook his strong aura at the scene.

Grace glanced at the man too.

Out of politeness, Grace nodded slightly at him and headed in.

Suddenly, the man's deep voice called out, "Hold on."

Both Grace and Alice were both stunned, thinking that they had misheard him.

"Sir, did you mean us?" Grace stopped in her tracks and looked at him.

The man nodded, but there was not much of an expression on his face. He looked calm.

"Excuse me, are the both of you Grace and Alice Smith?"

Grace was surprised and she suddenly felt a sense of familiarity. Was he their so-called cousin?

"Yes, we are." Grace nodded.

Alice nodded along. "A-are you Zachary Lowe?"

After confirming his identity, the man grinned faintly and said, "Yes, I am."

"Oh." Grace was astonished. She hadn't expected her cousin from Southland to be so attractive; even the way he talked was graceful. "So, you're Mr. Lowe."

When Zachary heard her words, there was a glimmer in his eyes. He looked straight at her.

"Would you guys mind if we went to the cafe across the street?"

Grace paused for a moment before nodding. "Sure."

"Let's go then."

"I'll go say hello to our editor." Grace smiled at him.

Zachary nodded.

"Please wait for a moment." Grace rushed into Entertainment Daily while Alice waited outside.

Alice and Zachary were left alone at the entrance of Entertainment Daily.

Alice sized up Zachary and eventually stared at his face.

He returned her gaze calmly. He did not avoid her eyes nor feel embarrassed because of her observing him.

"This person is really interesting," Alice thought.

Alice thought that people would usually feel embarrassed at others' stares, but Zachary didn't.

He remained unflustered, which in turn made Alice appear to be the nervous one instead.

She smiled shyly and said, "Who are you exactly?"

Zachary smiled slightly and looked at Alice. He said, "In terms of blood relationship, I am your cousin"

Alice pursed her lips. "For someone who had never contacted us before, how would we know that you're indeed our cousin?"

"I am," Zachary replied. "The grievance of the previous generation was beyond our ability, so you don't have to be hostile towards me."

Alice's heart skipped a beat. How could he have seen through her so easily?

She was a little flustered and peered at him with her big, bright eyes. She snorted, "It's natural to be wary of others. How would I know what your true intentions are?"

Zachary laughed heartily and replied, "If I had any hidden agenda, it would be something that both you and your sister wouldn't be able to handle. So, it's really fine to let down your guard and be true to yourself."

Alice looked him up and down again and decided that although he appeared to be intimidating, he wasn't a bad person.

On the contrary, he seemed good- natured and elegant, with a sense of righteousness.

In short, he didn't seem to be a bad guy.
