Female Novel
Chapter 467
In the evening.
That evening, Heinz picked Grace up from work and brought her to the kindergarten.
As soon as she got in the car, Grace said to Heinz, "Heinz, your grandfather came to have lunch with
me at noon today."
"What did you just say?" Heinz raised his voice involuntarily as soon as he heard that. "He visited
you?"
Seeing him in such a state, Grace nodded with a smile. "Yes."
"That old man," Heinz's brows furrowed. He looked worriedly at Grace and asked, "Are you alright? Did
he cause you any trouble?"
"No," Grace shook her head. "Why would you say that?"
"It's never good news when that old man comes to you," Heinz snorted softly. "He just wants to cause
trouble for you. What an impatient guy."
He felt angry at the thought that his grandfather had gone to look for Grace without informing him.
"He came to tell me that he wants to meet Little Gary," Grace explained. "Besides, he invited us to have
dinner at his place tonight."
"No," Heinz refused immediately. "Why should we go? We're too busy. We're not going."
"Heinz," Grace said, "I don't think he meant any harm."
"Even so, I won't go." Heinz suddenly leaned closer to Grace.
She was surprised.
He loomed over her as he fastened her seatbelt for her.
Grace looked at him. It turned out that he wanted to put on the seat belt for her.
However, he was in no hurry to move away after buckling her seatbelt. Instead, he looked at Grace with
deep regret and worry in his eyes. "You are still saying good things about him. It's my fault that you had
to meet him."
"It's fine," she shook her head and said. "Let's go. I can tell that he means no harm."
"Even so, you can't go to his place tonight," Heinz said in a low voice.
Grace knew that Heinz was unhappy. He had a stubborn look on his face. She felt that the old man had
to like her at least a little for him to invite her to dinner.
They could not mess it up.
The both of them should let go of their grudges.
She still said, "Let's go tonight. I really want to."
Heinz was stunned. He stared at her. "Do you really want to go?"
"Of course," Grace said.
Pausing for a moment to think, he finally said, "Okay, when we see the kids later, we can ask them."
"Let's just decide it ourselves. There's no need to ask them," Grace said bluntly. "Mr. Carter told me
that if I don’t go, there would be a problem in the future."
"What problem would it be? What can he do if you decide not to go?" Heinz scoffed.
"He's your grandfather," Grace explained.
"Even so, he shouldn't take advantage of that," Heinz exclaimed.
"Start the car," Grace said, "Let's go."
"We don't need to hurry," Heinz said. "Did the prosecutors make things difficult for you today?"
"No, they just wanted to know some details."
"There's no need forthat," Heinz mumbled.
"If you don't drive now, we'll end up picking them up late. It's been a few days since we spent time
together," Grace said. She missed them very much.
"Alright," Heinz said.
Heinz nodded and started the car, but not before gently placing a kiss on her lips.
At the kindergarten.
When Grace and Heinz arrived at the kindergarten, the school session had just ended.
There were a lot of people and cars.
Before they reached the entrance, Old Master Carter's and Ernest's butler came.
"Mr. Jones," the butler said.
"Young Master Jones, Miss Smith," he greeted again when he saw them both.
Heinz looked at them and then at his grandfather's butler and said, "Isn't the old man too free? He met
with my son this morning, met with my woman at noon, and now he wants to meet them all in the
evening. Isn't he tired?"
"He's not tired," said the butler as he chuckled. "He's glad to see them all.”
"Hmph," Heinz took in a deep breath. "He's indeed from the military. No one can match his physical
strength."
"Young Master, please come over tonight," the butler pleaded fawningly. "The old man told the kitchen
to prepare a lot of delicious food for Miss Smith and the young master."
"I don't want to go," Heinz said coldly.
Grace looked at him, she reached out and gently pinched the flesh around his waist.
"Ah!" Heinz yelled.
Grace stopped and said to the butler with a smile, "We'll go there after we pick up the children."
"Miss Smith, that's great," the butler's eyes were full of praise when he saw how considerate Grace
was. "I'll be waiting for you guys."
Grace smiled and said to Ernest's butler, "You've been working hard these days."
"Miss Smith, it is my responsibility," Ernest's butler said kindly.
Grace smiled and said, "I'll go pick up the children."
She walked towards the door.
In the kindergarten, she met Miss Holland and greeted her.
"Little Gary, Ernest, your mommy is here to pick you up," Miss Holland turned around and shouted into
the room.
Grace was stunned. At that moment, her heart was filled with warmth.
She was Ernest's mother.
It was what she had hoped for.
Unfortunately, that child of hers was no longer around.
Grace's heart throbbed for a second. Then, her children were already in front of her.
"Mommy, why are you here?" Gary asked.
"Aunt Grace!" Ernest greeted.
The two children threw themselves at Grace.
All of a sudden, the melancholy in the corner of her heart vanished.
In its place was warmth.
She held their hands. Then, she said, "Say goodbye to the teacher."
"Goodbye, teacher," Gary called.
"See you tomorrow, teacher," Ernest said.
They bid farewell to Miss Holland obediently.novelbin
After she brought them downstairs, she said as she walked, "Let's go. We're going to your great
grandfather's house to eat delicious food today."
"Mommy, are you going to the old man's place?"
Gary asked.
"Yeah. Didn't you meet him this morning?" Grace said.
"Did you meet him as well?" Little Gary asked.
"That's right," Grace said.
"Does he respect you?" Little Gary asked again.
Grace was taken aback by his words.
Ernest immediately added, "Aunt Grace, if you don't want to go, just don't go."
The sight of the two little guys being protective of her warmed her heart. She looked at them and said
softly, "We have to go. Since he has invited us, we should go. We will go home after the meal."
Little Gary and Ernest looked at each other; they were both surprised.
Grace said with a smile, "Let's go. Daddy is waiting for us outside."
With that, they left for the Carter family's house.
The journey there took half an hour.
As soon as they entered the house, they spotted two puppies in the courtyard. The children were so
happy that they stopped in their tracks there and then. They really wanted to play with the puppies.
"The Chief asked someone to send them over today. They have been examined by the vet and carry
no infectious diseases," the butler immediately said, "I'll inform the Chief of your arrival."
"Okay," Grace nodded.
The butler entered the house. He also reported to Old Master Carter that Grace had pinched Heinz to
stop him from talking during their recent encounter.
"Really?" Old Master Carter raised his eyebrows. "Are you sure that Grace did that to him?"
"Yes, that's right," the butler said.
"Hmph," Old Master Carter suddenly burst into laughter. "That brat has met his match."
The butler was also very surprised. "Yes, Young Master cares about Miss Smith very much."
The old man laughed again, "I'm happy to hear that. Someone finally dares to fight against him. This is
amazing."
