It was very likely that Jensen was the most pathetic man in the world. After doing it without any consequences for the first time, he had been keeping himself clean for six years.
After doing it for the second time, he actually ran into the predicament of breaking up with his girlfriend.
Wasn't such a life considered too tragic?
Not only that, but both times were with the same woman.
Jensen stood at the door for a long time. He was so irritated that he couldn't describe his inner feelings.
He grabbed a pack of cigarettes and went out again.
Heinz and Grace waited in the house for a long time. After opening the door several times, Grace saw that they had entered the house. She was still worried and could not be at ease.
Heinz comforted her and said, "This kind of thing must be known sooner or later. If she had known about this earlier, then she would have been able to accept it earlier. The later she knows about it, the harder it will be for her to accept it."
"Don't tell me such a big principle." Grace frowned and added, "Even if you didn't tell me, I'd still know about all this."
"Then, don't worry. Let's just wait for Alice to grow her feelings for Jensen. If there's no other way, then you can go and persuade her."
"Why did you talk to Jensen about this today?" Grace didn't understand. This guy had actually said it out loud at the door. Didn't that mean that he wanted Alice to overhear it?
Heinz was stunned, a look of helplessness coming over his face. "I didn't do it on purpose."
Grace rolled her eyes at him, "Such a misbehaving mouth!"
Heinz pursed his lips. "Thank goodness I'm thick-skinned. Otherwise, I would have been dead from being scolded by you like this."
Grace was also helpless. She sighed after looking at him.
Heinz reached out and held Grace's hand. "I believe that Alice is a reasonable girl. She will be able to come out of it soon and she won't really quarrel with Jensen."
"It's hard to get out of this kind of thing." Grace said, "You're not a woman, so naturally you wouldn't understand a woman's feelings."
"I am a man and you all wouldn't understand how a man feels." Heinz felt that he could understand Jensen's feelings.
Grace nodded and said, "What Alice experienced six years ago was already very painful. She'd never dared to look for a boyfriend all these years. At that time, she was not even an adult yet. For something like that to happen, I feel partly responsible for it too as I shouldn't have gone to a mountain resort."
Heinz then said, "But if you didn't go, then how could we have met each other? If we didn't meet, then how could Little Gary and Ernest exist?"
Grace sighed and replied, "Yes, this is a kind of fate. This fate has destined that everyone has their own path in life."
Heinz comforted Grace. "Alice and Jensen are destined to be together too."
"But Alice might not think so."
"Why did you all hide it from her since then?"
"Were you afraid that she would turn away immediately if she knew Jensen was the person from that time and so she wouldn't fall in love with him?"
Heinz said, "The fact that we hid it, was also a lie. Her heart was already so sensitive and lying to her was just more harmful."
"So Jensen and I thought it was best to hide it from her. We would tell her when she fell in love." Grace now felt very distressed. "Maybe I did the wrong thing from the beginning."
Heinz answered, "Don't blame yourself. This is what Jensen should be responsible for. Now that she knows about it already, the only thing we don't know is if Alice has fallen in love with him or not."
"She must have, otherwise, she wouldn't have slept with Jensen tonight," Grace said with consternation and a slight blush appeared on her face. After all, she was still not used to talking about this kind of thing so openly.
Heinz nodded slightly and said with a frown, "It's only because they like each other that they can devote their all to one another, so there's no need to worry about it. They have feelings for each other so they can't be separated just like that."
"I'm just worried that they will feel deeply hurt because there is love. She may feel hurt now, maybe because she suspected that Jensen doesn't love her enough since he was just taking responsibility for what happened. This girl loves to get herself into a dead end."
"You're right." Heinz turned around and opened the door. Suddenly, he saw Jensen smoking alone outside.
He immediately turned back and said to Grace, "Jensen is out now. He's smoking outside."
