After listening to Heinz's words of comfort, Grace had given up on asking Lowell to work.
Although Heinz had said it was all right, Grace was still a little worried.
After all, Lowell looked like he was greatly affected by it, as even his emotions were being stirred.
It was definitely obvious that in the situation, he was indeed very hurt.
After all was said and done, how was he supposed to heal then?
"Go ahead to work." Grace told Heinz, "I'm fine, and I'll pay more careful attention to Lowell as well, but I wouldn't ask him much. So, you won't have to worry."
Seeing that she was actually more relieved, Heinz wasn't as worried anymore.
"There's nothing much to worry about. It's just young people experiencing heartbreak, it's all normal."
"I'm not really worried about that, but it's just... Sigh! Oh right, what kind of girl is she?"
"She's just a girl who is not worth it, and he's not missing out much. I've already talked to Lowell about it." After comforting Grace, he immediately went to work.
Grace then took a walk at home, enjoying some restful time for her and the baby in her womb.
Right at ten o'clock in the morning, Lowell came down from upstairs.
Lowell seemed to have adjusted his mood and was feeling better, with a smile on his face.
Grace was a little shocked to a happy Lowell. It seemed like the talk with Heinz worked. Grace had a heartfelt smile on her face, then she gently spoke to Lowell, "Lowell, do you want to go out for a walk? You've been home for two days and I've never seen you leave the house. Why don't you head out and meet some old friends and classmates, have a little gathering? Everybody will be thrilled to see you."
"I'll just stay here with you, Grace." Lowell didn't want to have a gathering at all.
He thought that there was no need for it. After all, he hadn't returned for the Spring Festival in years. With his sudden return, if he was to have a gathering, there would definitely be a lot of people who wanted to meet him.
Seeing that Lowell did not want to have a gathering with his classmates, she once again was sure that he had yet to walk out of the shadows of his breakup, she then started to worry again.
Grace had thought that if Lowell were to have a gathering with his classmates, he would probably meet some fellow girl classmates. Perhaps if he met friends from the good old days, he might recall the memories of the past when things were more innocent and simple. Also, perhaps some girls that had liked Lowell back in the days would confess their feelings to him as well.
If fate was on their side, it would probably help Lowell walk out of his pain.
As soon as she heard that Lowell wouldn't be heading to the class gathering, Grace couldn't help sighing again. She wanted to say something but she hesitated.
Upon hearing Grace's sigh, Lowell's heart skipped a beat.
He eyed Grace carefully and asked, "Why are you sighing, Grace?"
"It's nothing. It's just that... perhaps you should be more outgoing. You're so young, if you open up yourself more, you could brighten up your mood too." "Grace, my mood is quite brighten up already now.
There's no need to worry about me getting a girlfriend. I'll keep that in mind too. It's just that my fate is not here yet, and I'm in no rush anyway!" Lowell roughly knew that Grace was worried about him, so he tried to comfort her.
"I'm very happy that you're letting things take their course. These things are indeed not to be forced, as it might not have a good outcome if you force it, when it's not fated. When it's fated, you won't be able to run away from it," Grace said.
Speaking as a person who had experienced it, her journey with Heinz back then was a wonderful work of fate as well. Who could ever have that kind of fate and actually meet again?
Therefore, fate was indeed wondrous.
"So, why not head out for a while?" Grace smiled, looking at Lowell with her head slightly tilted, showing a casual stance.
She didn't want Lowell to fell pressured or burdened.
"Grace, I just want to stay home with you," Lowell said. "Do you not like me being home? Why are you trying to drive me out of the house?"
