True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz)

Chapter 1851

Soon, everyone made their way to the solarium outside. It was large enough to fit everyone.

Now that they were all together, they had a very lively lunch.

Gary and Celeste were very surprised when they spotted Essie as they walked downstairs.Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org

Gary noticed that something was going on. He glanced at Zayne, who was beside him.

"Uncle, why do you look so annoyed?" Gary looked over at Essie, who was beside Celeste. Heasked with a smirk, "Essie, my uncle doesn't seem to like sitting next to me. How about you sit in myspot instead?"

Essie smiled as she heard that, "That sounds like a great idea. I don't really like the heat, so sittingnext to an iceberg might help me."

"Hahaha!"

Everyone laughed as soon as Essie said that.

Heinz and Grace looked at each other.

Mr. Yarbrough also smiled.

Similarly, Jensen and his wife Alice also exchanged a hearty laugh.

Everyone looked curiously at Zayne, waiting to see if the usually stoic man would get angry.

However, to everyone's disappointment, Zayne had no expression on his face. He remained calmand collected as if they weren't talking about him at all.

Then, Gary stood up and pulled out a chair while Essie made her way over to him. Ever thegentleman, Gary had Essie sit next to Zayne. It was very smooth of Gary to do this.

After giving his seat to Essie, Gary sat down between Leah and Celeste and glanced at Leah.

Leah shot him a thumbs-up in secret.

All of them were in silent understanding of what they were doing.

When they had selected their seats earlier, Leah had secretly asked Gary to allow Essie to sit nextto Zayne.

"Sorry to leave Miss Lawell with you, Uncle," Gary did not forget to remind Zayne of this.

Zayne raised an eyebrow, but he did not say anything.

With that, Gary continued to tease Zayne, "Uncle, seems like you're handling it pretty well. Makesure you learn how to care for a girl properly so that you're aware of what to do once you're officiallyin a relationship."

"Mr. Yarbrough knows what to do," Essie immediately defended Zayne and spoke up, "He doesn'tlike to express his feelings. I can see that he's not one to fall for anyone easily, but once he does,he's a very loyal man. He would never betray his lover."

Everyone gave Zayne astonished looks after hearing Essie's words. They doubted that a man ascold as he was could be so passionate.

Wouldn't he be ruthless instead?

No one said a word as they looked at him.

Then, everyone looked at Essie sympathetically.

It wasn't easy to go after a man like Zayne.

Zayne was the type to seclude himself within his own fortress of solitude. He had his defenses upagainst the rest of the world.

He was prickly, cold and super unapproachable.

Essie needed to be strong to be able to deal with him.

Mr. Yarbrough said, "It's rare that you admire Zayne so much. He's not much of a talker, so I hopeyou won't take it to heart."

"Mr. Yarbrough, just call me Essie," Essie immediately answered respectfully, "I know what

Zayne's like."

Her words carried a lot of meaning indeed.

Zayne raised his eyebrow and glanced at Essie. He spat, "Shut up."

If she went on like this, everyone would probably think that he had something to do with Essie.

"Alright, I'll shut up," Essie immediately nodded and chuckled, "You're finally talking to me. I thoughtyou were never going to."

"I told you to shut up," Zayne's tone was indifferent as he spoke.

Essie paused before she burst into laughter, "It's rare for you to say so much to me."

Zayne didn't know what to do. Essie was too excited, and she just didn't know how to shut up.

He decided to remain silent as he picked up his utensils and shoved a piece of meat into Essie'smouth.

"Mmmph!"

Essie was stunned for a moment before she grinned happily.

Everyone felt that this was a silent show of affection from Zayne.

Was Essie still pursuing him, or were they already dating?

It seemed that it was more likely the latter.

Grace and Heinz looked at each other and heaved a sigh of relief.

Meanwhile, Gary smiled slyly.

"Wow, you're so caring, Uncle Zayne, to even feed her. This is a really good improvement."

Zayne looked up and shot Gary a piercing glare. If it wasn't for Gary, he wouldn't be doing this.

Instead of silencing down, Gary snickered even more happily.

Heinz held his wine glass and said, "I have good news today."

Everyone paused.

Gary frowned slightly. This didn't sound good.

At this time, Heinz looked at him and smirked, "My son, Gary, has finally called me dad. I'm reallyglad, and I want to tell everyone about this. I've waited twenty years for this day."

"Huh, he called you dad?" Jensen was also shocked.

Grace nearly dropped her utensils after hearing that.

Even Celeste was stunned. This was a huge surprise.

Didn't he refuse to call Heinz dad? When did that change?

This discovery surprised them all.

"Really?" Grace asked in a trembling voice.

Heinz nodded seriously.

"Yes, mom. I heard Gary calling dad outside. I'll be the witness." Ernest piped up.

"That's great!" Grace immediately looked at Gary in joy.

Gary shrugged, "Why are you talking about me? Aren't we supposed to celebrate Uncle Zaynefinally leaving his bachelorhood behind? Why am I suddenly the center of attention?"

Grace replied, "Good things always come in trios. Leah's arrival and your uncle's graduation frombeing a bachelor are both good news. Meanwhile, you calling your father dad is something thatdeserves to be celebrated."

"Don't involve me in this," Zayne spoke faintly, "Good news doesn't necessarily have to come intrios. A pair of good news can work too."

Ernest snickered, "Okay, uncle, we won't talk about you. Let's have a drink and celebrate withEssie."

"Agreed, I think we should drink with Essie as well," Leah seconded.

Zayne frowned.

Then, everyone laughed.

"Come on, we're a family. There's no need to be so polite. Let's have a toast."

The solarium was very warm. The sun's golden rays shone down upon everyone, coatingeveryone's silhouette with a glowing ring.

This was a new era for the Jones family.

Grace was a little exhausted after her meal due to her pregnancy, so Heinz helped her off so shecould get some rest.

Before she left, Grace whispered to Mr. Yarbrough.

"Dad, there's no need to worry anymore. Essie seems like a tough girl, and she will bring a lot of joyto Zayne. Don't worry."

"Does Zayne sincerely want to be with her? Essie seems much younger," Mr. Yarbrough was veryworried.

"Zayne definitely feels something for her," Grace's tone was very firm, "Don't worry, dad. He'll beokay."

"Okay," Mr. Yarbrough nodded and sighed, "I hope so."

Before she left, Leah was still worried about where Essie would go, but it turned out that she wasworried for nothing.

That was because Zayne had left with Essie.

She'd been dragged away by the collar.

"Let me go, Zayne. I'm suffocating," Essie groaned, "Did you hear me? Let me go, youunreasonable hulk of a man!"

However, Zayne did not pay any attention to her cries. Although he was harsh, he was very carefulnot to strangle her.

He shoved Essie into his car and sped away.

Everyone watched in surprise as they left. They were also looking forward to the next step Zaynewould take.

The story of the Jones family continued, and everyone was very happy.

Meanwhile, Simon and Marry had finally reunited.

The afternoon sun was bright, and they were both under the covers. Simon was holding Marry bythe waist and was kissing her deeply.

They did not need to hold back around each other anymore.

They weren't as reserved as before. After they had been relieved of their burdens and concerns,they no longer had any reservations around each other.

Simon hadn't been with a woman for a long time, and Marry hadn't been with a man either.

Both of them were obviously eager to do it with each other, and they were both very aroused.

"Will you come home with me?" Simon finally whispered in Marry's ear.

Marry was stunned, and tears welled up in her eyes. Then, she nodded, "All right, I'll come homewith you."
