The atmosphere in the Jones family's house was really bustling.
As soon as Jensen joined them, Timothy arrived too.
He was worried about Grace after seeing the news, thus he hurriedly went all the way to visit her. He was relieved to see Grace doing fine.
Of course, he was also happy to see the girlfriends of his grandsons.
Zayne also joined them shortly after.
He was also worried about Grace and that was why he visited. He was surprised to see that Timothy was there too. He noticed that his nephews and their girlfriends were there as well. Zayne wanted to leave but Grace made him stay for the meal.
With Jensen, Timothy, and Zayne joining the gathering, it became even more meaningful.
After their meal, the men went to the reception room and talked about business.
Meanwhile, the women were still chatting.
After sitting down, Jensen said to Heinz, "I didn't expect that you would set Marry and Simon up. I can't figure out what's on your mind."
Heinz immediately raised a brow and said, "Have you heard about it already? That's quick. It literally just happened."
"Of course," Jensen smiled and said, "I have my reliable sources."
Jensen then looked at Timothy and Zayne as he asked, "Mr. Yarbrough, Zayne, have you heard of this yet? Otherwise, I can fill you in on what Heinz did. Most likely, you wouldn't have known what he did yet."
Timothy nodded. "You mentioned that he set Marry and Simon up, didn't you? What exactly happened?"
"It's simple," Zayne said as he looked at Timothy, "Simon was the one behind the news that was published today, and I believe that Heinz decided to take the higher ground instead. Although I don't know the details, I can guess the news must have something to do with Simon."
"You're smart, Zayne. You actually got it right," Jensen praised. "Simon was indeed behind this. He worked with Michael, the husband of Cindy's agent, to come up with this."
"He really thinks too highly of himself to even want to scheme against my sister." There was a sharp glint in Zayne's gaze as he curled his lips into a smirk. He glanced at Heinz, clearly upset at him.
"See? I'm not the only one who doesn't understand your plans." Jensen then looked at Timothy, "Mr. Yarbrough, don't you have something to say as well?"
"I'm still trying to understand what happened." Timothy frowned in confusion. "Why is Simon so obsessed with scheming against Grace, and why did Heinz decide to bring him and Marry back together?"
"That's because Heinz believed that by bringing them back together, they'd keep themselves busy and away from troubling others," Jensen explained.
Timothy immediately understood. "So that's what it is? Heinz, don't you think you're being too emotional this time? I understand you're being open-hearted, but then we never know what they would actually think about this. After all, haven't they been too harsh to Grace and Gary's girlfriend?"
"Dad, you should just directly ask Heinz if his heart has softened as he ages. If he can't protect Grace, I'll do it myself," Zayne said indifferently, without trying to be polite towards Heinz at all.
Heinz's face fell. This brother-in-law of his really left him speechless at times when he decided to be harsh.
Why were they exaggerating about what he did in bringing Marry and Simon back together?
Were they thinking that Heinz was being protective of Marry and Simon, and that he wasn't doing right by Grace?
Heinz glanced at Zayne and said helplessly, "Zayne, you can stop with the sarcasm. I know you worry about Grace, but then you should also trust that I do love her."
"I can't see it," Zayne said harshly, "That's why I can't believe it either."
Being the elder in the room, Timothy glanced at Zayne.
Over the years, Timothy could tell that Heinz was really in love with Grace.
Naturally, he could also believe that Heinz's feelings were genuine.
However, Zayne was protective of Grace too. Timothy was glad to see his children getting along, as that would be the biggest wish of all dads.
