Heinz loved daughters. He treated his daughter very differently from his sons.
He raised Sylvia to be such an arrogant girl who had no limits in everything she did, it really did make people have a headache.
"Honey, of course I want to take part in raising our children. A child can't grow up without either a father or a mother. If any one is missing, they will grow up wrong. We must raise them together." Heinz was in a hurry to advise his wife, hoping that she would not make such a decision.
"Oh, so now you agree that children should be raised by two parents together?" Grace rolled her eyes at him.
"Honey, how could I not know? Education has always been a massive project. Of course I know that it takes two parents to educate a child. So, that is why I want us to work hard to take good care of our children." Heinz smiled at his wife and said, "Even though Sylvia is a little tricky, she is still a kind child. She may be a little excessive sometimes, but we can still manage her. She is inherently kind. This is a valuable part of her. We shouldn't always be looking at her bad side, right?"
"How dare you say that? If you hadn't been so protective of her, would our family be separated like this?" Grace got angry at the thought of Ernest leaving with his girlfriend early in the morning because of her.
Heinz seemed indifferent to that matter. He looked at his wife and said, "Honey, you shouldn't think that way. Even if Sylvia didn't play such tricks, I still think that Leah and Ernest wouldn't stay in the house for too long. After all, it is not convenient."
"They would have more freedom if they lived outside. What's more, they are in a passionate part of their relationship, and they need their own space. Sylvia was just the fuse that made them snap."
When Grace heard that, she really couldn't stand it anymore. She immediately rolled her eyes at Heinz and said in a deep voice, "You are still protecting Sylvia. Why must you always stand out and go against me when I criticize her shortcomings? Heinz, you are really going to ruin her, do you know that?"
"Honey, don't worry." Heinz got anxious when he saw how agitated his wife was. He was worried that her anger would affect her pregnancy, so he comforted her in a hurry, "I never said that I am not going to punish her. She was a little excessive this time. After all, eavesdropping is a bad behavior. However, I am trying too, aren't I? Besides, you have decided to let her stay on campus as a punishment for her, I didn't say anything about that. I followed all of your orders. So, don't be angry, I will listen to you, okay?"
Grace frowned. "Heinz, do you know that I don't like it when you are being dismissive to me like that?"
Heinz quickly shook his head. "No, honey, how could I be dismissive to you? You are my wife, I can't bear to do that to you."
"You are not," Grace sneered. "You just think that you can simply coax me with a few words. You think it's fine because you say you will listen to me."
"No." Heinz realized that Grace was disappointed with him. He quickly shook his head and explained, "I didn't mean that. Honey, you have to believe me."
"Heinz, so far, we only have one daughter. I know that you have always thought that apart from being the only girl, she is also the youngest. You want to spoil her and have every man in the Jones family protect her. I can understand all of that. However, you never thought that this behavior of yours may harm her. Who will dare marry her if she goes on like this?"
"Then, she doesn't have to marry," Heinz said. "My daughter doesn't have to get married."
"Is that normal?" Grace asked. "Do you think that that is a normal thing?"
"Is it really normal for a girl to stay at home living a single life when they are at the age of marriage?"
When Heinz heard that, he was stunned and a little confused.
Heinz frowned.
Grace stroked her belly, she lowered her head and said softly, "At her age, Sylvia needs correct guidance. You shouldn't go to school anymore. Let Jensen go, let her do what she must. In short, we can't let her go on like that."
After Grace said that, she took out her phone and called Jensen.
Heinz watched from the side anxiously. "Let me go with Jensen."
"No need. You stay at home and accompany me," Grace lowered her voice and said, "You don't have to go anywhere."
"But," Heinz still insisted.
"Just stay at home. Don't go anywhere. You don't know how to educate your child. Just take a rest."
When Heinz was accused of that, he dared not say anything.
When Jensen received the call and learned about the general situation, he immediately went to the school.
He had a hunch that Sylvia was very interested in criminal investigation, but it would be a bad thing if her interests were used in the wrong place.
As her uncle, Jensen naturally thought that he should have the responsibility to care for her.
