Female Novel
Chapter 207
At night.
After Little Gary fell asleep, Alice Smith went into her sister's bedroom and squeezed into her bed. Both
of them looked at the ceiling.
Alice asked, "Sister, do you regret giving birth to Little Gary?"
Grace Smith was stunned.
Alice turned to look at her and said, "I mean, have you ever regretted your decision after that day?"
"A few days before giving birth to Little Gary, I was thinking about whether I was making the right
choice," Grace recalled and shook her head with a smile. "Although I have suffered a lot, I never
regretted it."
"Yes, Sister, what we have now is more than perfect already," Alice said. "He is a sensible child, andnovelbin
now he even starts to make money."
"He's too young. I only hope that he is happy," Grace said softly. "I don't want him to be too sensible. If
he's too sensible, he'll lose his childhood."
"I know how you feel," Alice said. "However, Little Gary needs a father the most now."
Speaking of Gary's father, she couldn't help but think of some bad memories.
Grace thought for a moment and shook her head. "No matter how I think about it, I don't think I can live
with Heinz for the rest of my life, and he may
not be willing to spend his life with a woman like me either."
"There isn't any point to start a relationship without marriage as its end goal."
"The editor in my office said that it's okay to have a non- lasting relationship. Who knows if you'll gain
unexpected happiness after that? But I'm a coward and I don't have the courage to go through a
relationship like this. So I'm destined not to be that kind of person," Grace said.
"Sister, your editor has a modern mindset," Alice was also surprised. "Is she the wife of the editor who
has just been replaced?"
"Yes." Grace nodded.
Alice immediately analyzed, "How could you compare yourself with her?" Grace answered her
immediately "I never said that I'm comparing myself with her, she is just being kind. She hopes that I
won't miss a man like Heinz."
"She has suffered because of a man. She has seen enough of the world and experienced the nature of
a man, but you haven't. Your experience is different, so how can you expect that your life will be like
hers?" Alice said.
"Indeed." Grace nodded. "It's true that everyone's path in life is different."
"So you have to do whatever you want in your life. Your editor's words make sense, but it doesn't
conform to the usual ethics," Alice said. "Normal people usually want to get married and have children.
They long for a family."
"Alice, your words are more reasonable than the editor's," Grace said sincerely. "But what about you?"
Alice was stunned and smiled. "Me? Well, since I don't have a child, I don't have to think about it."
Grace was unable to refute it.
Indeed, Alice didn't have a child, not like herself.
Thinking about her relationship with Heinz, Grace felt that she could not think for herself so selfishly.
She needed to consider Little Gary's feelings as well.
She looked at the ceiling with a flicker of hesitation in her eyes. "We'll see."
"Sister, can I sleep with you today?" Alice held Grace's arm and didn't want to leave.
She looked like how she used to be when she was a child.
"Okay," Grace said. "You can sleep with me."
The next day.
Grace went to work and then went to the bank to apply for a card during her lunch break. She then
deposited saved 20,000 dollars into the account.
She took the card to the police station and found Jensen Charm.
After sitting down in his office, she pushed the card to Jensen and said, "Officer Charm, there is 20,000
dollars in it. Please give it back to Heinz for me."
"Why is there an excess of 5,000 dollars?" Jensen asked in surprise.
"I was admitted in the hospital and stayed in a VIP ward previously. It was Mr. Jones who paid the fees
for me. 5,000 dollars may not even be enough to cover all that he has spent for me. If he thinks it's not
enough, ask him to give me a sum and I'll return it all to him," Grace said.
Hearing this, Jensen was dumbfounded. "Grace, you trying to draw the line clearly, aren't you?"
"Regardless, please help me to give the money back to him." Grace explained, "I don't like owing
people."
After repaying the money, Grace had to work harder to make up for her son's money.
Seeing her like this, Jensen sighed and said, "Grace, you are really stubborn."
"Yes, I know that," Grace smiled and admitted. "Sometimes, it's better not to owe people money."
"Heinz didn't intend to ask you to pay him back. Forget that he's rich. Even if he's not wealthy, he still
wouldn't ask you to pay him back," Jensen explained for him. "You really don't have to care about
these."
"No, I'd better return it to him," Grace said. "Otherwise, people might misunderstand me for wanting his
money. It's too embarrassing."
"Even if that's the case, but your relationship with him is not ordinary," Jensen commented.
"No, no matter what kind of relationship we have, it's good for women to keep their economic
independence and live with dignity." Grace felt that if a woman wasn't financially independent and had
to live off a man, the woman would live in dejection.
If one couldn't be financially independent, one would never be independent in life.
Grace felt that people must live with dignity. If they didn't fight for themselves, how could they expect
others to respect them?
"Okay," Jensen picked up the card and said, "I'll give it back to Heinz for you."
"The password is six zeros," Grace said again.
Jensen chuckled and teased, "Are you not afraid that I'll withdraw the money and use it myself?"
"I know you won't," Grace said frankly. "You're not that kind of person."
"Thank you for your trust," Jensen smiled and said. "I'll help you convey the message to him."
"Thank you," Grace said.
"But Grace, why are you so sure that I'm not that kind of person?" Jensen asked.
"Because you still want to be responsible for the girl from six years ago. So I don't think you are a bad
person," Grace said honestly.
Jensen's face changed and he said, "By the way, I wanted to ask you about what you said yesterday.
Can you tell me now?"
Grace looked at him, pursed her lips, and said, "Yes, I think I know who the girl from six years ago is,
but I'm not completely sure."
"Who is it?" Jensen looked at her in surprise and he was very excited. "Grace, tell me!"
Grace paused again, "Officer Charm, because of that night, the girl was traumatized. She never liked
men since then."
There was a flash of guilt in Jensen's eyes. "I'm sorry about that."
"Can I know what happened that night? Why did you do that to a girl?" Grace asked.
Grace had been eager to know about the reason for so many years.
How could Heinz and Jensen appear in Alpine Resort at the same time, and happen to encounter a
similar incident?
Jensen glanced at Grace with a sigh and said, "That night, I was arresting a drug dealer, but I was
drugged. Then, I was attacked and chased by the drug dealer. When I ran to the resort, I was unable to
control myself anymore because of the effects of the drug."
