Mrs. Yarbrough looked at Grace and felt very embarrassed. Her eyes were slightly red.
Grace also looked at her. She thought that Mrs. Yarbrough was very good-looking and her figure and temperament were good as well, only that she was a little distant.
Moreover, she heard that she was a teacher, so she had that intellectual aura.
Even when she was in a miserable state, she still maintained a good image and temperament.
She said she and Mr. Yarbrough had divorced. When did it happen?
Could it be this morning?
She looked at Heinz suspiciously and asked softly, "When did Mr. Yarbrough divorce?"
"I don't know," Heinz shook his head.
"This morning," Quinn chimed in. "We've ended our twenty years of marriage just this morning."
Just then, Zayne also stood up and walked towards Grace.
When he stood in front of her, he took a good look at this woman beside Heinz, the one whom Heinz had taken good care of.
His eyes were calm and there were not many emotions in them.
Grace also looked at him.
For a moment, the atmosphere became awkward again.
The pair of siblings had never met before but they knew who each other were as they looked at each other.
They didn't say anything.
After sometime, Zayne finally greeted, "Grace, I'm Zayne."
Grace was stunned. She didn't expect her younger brother to take the initiative to speak first. On the contrary, she, his older sister, was too embarrassed to speak.
"I apologize to you on behalf of my mother," Zayne said as he bowed.
Zayne's actions stunned Grace, "Don't, Zayne, don't be like this." She said.
Zayne made a 90 ⁰ bow. When he got up, he looked at Grace and said again, "Since my mother wanted to harm you, let's settle this properly. It's better to investigate this matter clearly."
Since Zayne said so, Grace naturally replied,
"Zayne, don't be like this. I don't even know how much of an impact it has on me."
"The more reason to investigate," Zayne said. "Leave it to the police."
Heinz nodded in agreement, "I also think it's good to leave it to the police."
Grace was a little hesitant. She was puzzled by Zayne's attitude.
He was sending his mother to prison.
If Mrs. Yarbrough turned herself in, she might be sent to jail for her wrongdoing.
What exactly was Zayne thinking about?
Grace looked shockingly at the calm boy in front of her who didn't look like the other boys his age. He was really not an ordinary boy. He was too calm.
That was his mother.
He took a good look at Zayne and asked, "Does Mr. Yarbrough know that you guys are leaving this to the police?"
"Are you still calling him Mr. Yarbrough, and not Dad?" Zayne asked as if he hadn't heard her question.
Grace was taken aback. She was a bit uncertain of Zayne's intention. Was he asking this because he thought that it was unfair for Mr. Yarbrough, or because he felt that it was unneccesary for his mother to harm her like this.
The answer was obviously the latter.
Zayne thought that it wasn't worthy for Mrs. Yarbrough to harm her.
Looking at Zayne, Grace said, "Yes, frankly speaking, I can't call him Dad. Although Mr. Yarbrough and I are biologically related, we have never lived together, so I can't call him Dad."
"I understand," Zayne only said two words.
Quinn was also stunned.
