Female Novel
Chapter 272
Upon hearing Gary's words, Alice instantly flared up and shouted to Jensen, "Why do you have to
announce it to everyone?"
Judging from her reaction, Jensen felt that she had no intention to be related with him in any way. She
was only forced to make a compromise.
He said forlornly, "Little Gary is a member of this family. I was just telling him out of respect."
"Yes," Little Gary nodded immediately, acting as if he and Jensen had known each other for a long
time.
Alice pursed her lips and glared at Jensen.
Grace chided in and said, "Good news should be made known to us."
"Yeah, they are right. I know you're just being shy, Little Aunt. But you don't have to because we're
family," Little Gary said again.
Alice lifted her hands up and said, "Okay, I surrender. Let's eat. No one is allowed to talk."
"Let's eat."
Jensen had a satisfying meal at Grace's home. It was a quiet and peaceful dinner.
After he finished eating, he felt that it was time to leave.
Grace said, "Alice, you should see Officer Charm off."
"He can leave on his own." Obviously, Alice was reluctant to see him off. "I'll go wash the dishes."
"Let me help you. I'll leave after doing the dishes," Jensen volunteered. "That's it. I'll do it."
He then rolled his sleeves up and started washing the dishes.
The table was also cleaned up.
There was a helpless look on Alice's face.
Grace smiled and said, "Not all men are willing to help with chores, Alice. Just try it out with him, will
you? I hope you can be happy."
"Grace," Alice nodded. "I understand."
"Then there's no need for you to worry too much." Grace said, "Only if you try it out you'll know whether
he is a match for you."
"Okay," Alice nodded.
Not long after, Jensen was done with the dishes. Even the floor of the kitchen was wiped clean.
He stepped out of the kitchen with a bag of trash in his hand and said, "It's all cleaned up. I'll come over
again tomorrow."
"Sure, you're always welcomed," Grace said with a smile.
"No you're not welcomed," Alice protested.
"I welcome you too. So it's two to one. Little Aunt, you'll have to admit defeat this round," Little Gary
added timely.
"Okay, thank you for the meal." Feeling glad, Jensen headed to the door.
Alice gritted her teeth and said, 'TH see you off." She really went there.
When they were at the elevator, she gnashed her teeth and warned, "You'd better keep your promise.
Or I won't let you go."
"Don't worry. I don't want to be cursed. I wouldn't want you to be miserable for the rest of your life," he
said.
"Just get out of here now." Alice was blushing.
Jensen let out a cough, cleared his throat and said softly, "Okay, get back in. You shouldn't be out this
late."
Ignoring him, Alice turned around and got back in.
Jensen could feel that it would take some time to melt her seemingly cold heart.
He must make his best effort.
On his way back, Jensen made a call to Heinz.
He was not picking up.
He called again but still he didn't answer.
Needless to say, Jensen knew the reason.
He rang Lester.
The call was answered quickly.
"Officer Charm."
"Lester, where is your boss?" Jensen asked.novelbin
"The president is at the mountain villa. I don't know what happened. Since he met with Miss Smith, he
no longer wanted to have anything to do with her. He wouldn't even let us mention Miss Smith, and
anyone or anything related to her." Still dumbfounded by Heinz's action, Lester explained to Jensen.
"Okay, I'll go to the villa now," Jensen then asked, "Has he been drinking?"
"No, it wouldn't be so daunting if he had been drinking. Since he's back, he had been sitting in the living
room. No one is allowed in there."
"Okay I get it." Jensen said, "I'm heading there now."
After hanging up the call, he cracked up.
He found it hilarious that Heinz was being jealous of himself, not knowing that Gary was actually his
own son.
But he couldn't reveal the truth to Heinz.
The last thing he wanted was to be impotent.
In the villa on the top of the mountain.
When Jensen arrived at the villa, he saw that it was dark inside the villa, and there was a crowd
hanging around beneath the street lights at the door entrance.
The housekeeper, Lester, and Alex came up to him. Lester said in a low voice, "He wouldn't let anyone
in. Anyone going in would get his head bitten off."
"Means he's not losing it yet," Jensen said.
"Soon." The housekeeper whispered, "Officer Charm, we're all feeling worked over. Just what
happened today?"
"Is Ernest here?" Jensen asked.
"No, he's at the villa back in the city."
"Okay," Jensen said. 'TH go in and have a look." "Okay."
For some reason, everyone seemed to be counting on Jensen.
When Jensen opened the door, it was pitch black in the house.
He stretched out his hand and turned on the light.
"Get out!" A growl could be heard the next moment.
Jensen looked up and saw Heinz sprawling on the couch, not moving an inch as if paralyzed. He
looked devastated.
"Eh." Jensen laughed and said, "You can't even sit up straight now?"
Heinz lifted his gaze and glanced toward him. He didn't move, nor did he roar again.
Jensen walked over and sat across him. He asked with great interest, "What happened?"
Heinz didn't answer him. Placing his elbows on his knees, he rubbed his brows with his slender fingers.
"I don't want to talk," he said in a hoarse voice.
"I know." Jensen said, "Something happened between you and Grace."
"Don't bring up that name!" Heinz roared at once.
Jensen shrugged and said, "Are you so naive to think that you'd forget her by not mentioning her?" "I've
told you not to mention it."
Jensen smiled and said, "If I were you, I'll go to Grace immediately and sort it out with her face to face."
Jensen couldn't bear to see his best friend suffering.
If Heinz went to Grace's house at this time, he would meet Little Gary. And everything would be clear
as day. Most importantly, by doing so he would not break his promise to Alice.
"There's nothing to sort out," Heinz frowned and said. "Seeing the unscrupulous woman again would
just piss me off even more."
"You will regret it one day," Jensen reminded him. "Wait, did you just say that to Grace?"
"Yes. What if I did?" Heinz asked.
"Well, then you're helpless."
