True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz) novel Chapter 610

Grace asked in reply, "How do you know that he doesn't love you?"

Alice hugged Grace and her tears fell on her shoulders, which burned Grace and made her heart ache.

She shook her head and cried, "He thinks that he owes me. He only wanted to be responsible for it and he admitted it himself. The tender affection he had for me was because of his responsibility towards me, not love. Sister, I don't want Jensen to pity me. I don't want this kind of love."

Grace was stunned. "Aren't you thinking too much?"

Alice got up from Grace's arms and turned around, retrieving some tissues to wipe her tears away. "Grace, have a seat and accompany me for a while."

"Sure!" She sat down together with Alice on the sofa. Grace immediately comforted her and said, "Don't think too much. Jensen is not someone like that. He looks like a very honest man."

"I know." Alice also knew Jensen's personality. She paused and then continued, "From the beginning, he was just trying to make up and take responsibility for me. If it was to be someone else, it would be the same too just because he had hurt them. If it was to be another person, he would also be responsible for the other woman too, not just because I am who I am, but just because I happened to be the woman he had hurt."

Although Alice took her time in speaking, Grace knew what she was trying to say, and heard the hidden meaning in her words.

Her brows knitted tightly together as she finally understood why Alice was feeling sad.

"Grace, I don't want a passionate love, but if he doesn't love me and he was with me only because he owes me, why should I make him suffer?" Alice looked at Grace with tears in her eyes. "I think, both Jensen and I need time to calm down. Both of us need time to calm down."

After careful consideration, Grace thought that what her sister said was sensible. She said, "You are really just calm."

"Yes!" Alice nodded and said, "I can't accept it for a while yet, but I know that Jensen is a good person. He is not an irresponsible man. It is because he is good that I can't let him take responsibility and kidnap him for a lifetime with this reason. If it is not true love then we should not be together."

This request was simple but how many couples were truly in love with each other in this world?

What Alice was looking for was just a magnanimous love.

Her words made Grace raise her head, but she only looked at Alice for a while and then she lowered her head again. Finally, she looked at her sister and said, "I understand all your thoughts. I hid it from you before because I was afraid that you would not accept Jensen. In fact, it was actually my idea."

Alice replied, "I know. You were doing this out of kindness. I'm getting myself out now, I'm getting away from that trauma."

Grace's attentive eyes fell on Alice's face gently. The traces of sweet love could still be seen on Alice's neck.

But the time they spent in love was so brief that it vanished in an instant.

Grace didn't know whether she should feel grateful for the fact that her sister could come out of the trauma, or be distressed for her feeling of waking up from a nightmare.

"Alice, you can feel Jensen's feelings for you."

Alice said, "Grace, both pity and guilt are not love. I can feel how protective and distressed he is and how he took care of me all this time, but I just can't extricate myself from his love for me just because of this. I have to think this through."

"Then are you sure you can get over it by just staying in your room?" Grace could not help but worry.

"Grace, I am your younger sister. We are the same. Apart from being strong, there is nothing else we can do." Alice promised her and said, "Don't worry, I won't take things too hard and I won't take my own life."

Six years ago, her elder sister was pregnant and gave birth to two children before she was married. She lost one of them and she did not even take her own life.

Six years ago, she lost her most precious thing and she didn't even take her own life and so they wouldn't even do it now.

As one got older, they would only become stronger and more mature.

"Don't worry about me. I just want to adjust my heart," Alice promised solemnly.
