True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 1026

Hearing Zachary's words, Grace was surprised. She didn't know much about Aunt Nerissa but she seemed like a gentle and soft woman.

However, hearing how Zachary described her, there must be a reason behind it.

Looking at his serious expression, Grace said to him. "Zachary, don't worry. I believe that Aunt Nerissa will be happy to know that she now has a granddaughter. I'm pretty sure both of them will get close, and plus, Maria is her biological granddaughter. I'm sure that she will be happy to see her. She might be a traditional woman, but maybe she'll drop that after she sees Maria. Don't worry too much."

He smiled gently and sighed, "I hope so. In fact, I haven't thought about how to tell my mother. The key fact is that Yvonne has already run away."

"What did she say to you in the letter?"

"It's a very short letter. She told me that she gave me full custody of Maria and nothing else." Zachary was very angry with the short and brief letter.

Heinz frowned and comforted him. "I believe that it won't be easy for mothers to just abandon their child. Maybe she can do it now, but after some time she might miss her child and come back to look for Maria."

"You don't understand Yvonne. She can be really heartless at times." Zachary's eyes were full of disappointment when he brought up Yvonne. If she wasn't heartless she wouldn't have left him for so long without any news.

Grace could see that there was history between Zachary and Yvonne that was different than hers with Heinz.

She looked at his bloodshot eyes and was very worried for him. "Zachary, why don't you take a rest first? It seems that you didn't sleep well last night."

It was obvious that if he met Yvonne the previous night, he would definitely be plagued with many thoughts. It was understandable that he lost some sleep.

"Go and rest," Heinz said. "Maria just fell asleep. If she wakes up and doesn't see you around, she might cry."

Zachary nodded. He frowned then said, "I will take her home when she wakes up."

"It's okay if you want to stay here," Heinz said politely.

Zachary chuckled and shook his head. "I've seen what Little Gary and Ernest are like, I will go mad if I stay."

"Haha." Heinz laughed and said, "Don't take it personally. Your daughter really scared them. She is absolutely astonishing."

Heinz gave him a thumbs-up as he spoke.

Maria was really something else since she easily scared both his sons.

Zachary's solemn mood finally lifted up a little. He looked at Heinz and said, "I hope this is a sincere compliment without any criticism."

"Look at you. No matter what, she is still my niece. How can I belittle a child?" Heinz explained with a smile.

Looking at his smile, Zachary knew he was definitely not trying to belittle her child.

He then quickly returned to the guest room. Seeing his daughter deep in sleep, and the familiar crease between her eyebrows, his eyes turned gentler and warmer.

He then laid down and slept for a while.

At four o'clock in the afternoon.

Little Gary and Ernest had woken up at almost the same time. The both of them had been sleeping for two hours or so. When they woke up, they were back to their energetic selves.

"Gary, are you awake?" Ernest looked at him and asked, "Are you feeling better now?"

"I'm much better." Little Gary frowned and said, "It's strange. I thought we would be woken up while we slept. What is that little devil, Maria, doing? Why didn't she come to disturb us? Don't you think it's strange?"
