True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 277

Grace had just sat down and had a sip of tea when her phone rang. She glanced at the screen and immediately picked it up.

"Hello, Teacher White?"

It was Teacher White from Gary's kindergarten.

The thought of something bad had happened to Gary made her hair stand on end.

"Did something happen to Gary?” she asked nervously.

"Don't worry. It's no big deal. There's just a thing that I feel necessary to let you know," Teacher White explained.

Still feeling tense, Grace said, "Go ahead."

"Gary and Ernest were chatting in the playground and I've overheard their conversation, and I think it's necessary for me to talk with you about it."

"Sure, go on," Grace said.

"Little Gary said that father and son were enemies of their past lives." Teacher White described their conversation to Grace.

Grace was astounded.

"Seeing that children are very sensitive, I think you should pay more attention to Gary," Teacher White continued.

"I understand. I will keep an eye on him," Grace said.

Teacher White said, "I think it's best that you don't ask him about it when you pick him up later. Gary and Ernest are both very sensitive and smart compared to children of the same age, we shouldn't aggravate them."

"Got it, Teacher White. Thank you for being so thoughtful." Grace was really thankful to Teacher White from the bottom of her heart.

"It's my responsibility." Teacher White soon ended the call.

Grace sat on the chair and glanced at her watch. One hour to go before picking up Gary.

She let out a sigh.

It seemed that Gary had a strong desire for his father.

Just when Grace was still lost in her thoughts, Hermione came in and said, "Grace, can you come to my office?"

"Sure!" Grace got up quickly and followed Hermione into her office.

After sitting down and putting her bag away, Hermione said, "I have talked with Mr. Jones's special assistant, Lester, this morning. Then I had some errands to run in the afternoon, that's why I didn't come till now."

"I see, you've been busy, Editor Lowe." Grace said. "But why did you call me in?"

"There's something I'd like to tell you," Hermione said.

For some reason, Grace's heart skipped a beat. She pursed her lips and said, "Okay, carry on."

"Mr. Jones asked me for a favor to pass you some compensation. I guess it has to be money."

Grace was stunned, with a look of astonishment in her eyes.

"I've refused," Hermione said, "I don't think you would accept it. And if he really wants to compensate you, it would be more sincere if he gives it to you personally."

"I don't want any compensation from him," Grace said as she shook her head. What's wrong with Heinz?

It was too humiliating to compensate her with money.

Did he see her as someone who was selling her body?

Her feelings could not be valued with money.

"Yeah, that's why I refused." Hermione looked at her and said, "From what I know of you, you wouldn't accept it, and obviously his behavior was out of line." "So, did he say that he would not invest in our company?" Grace asked.

"Well, he didn't," Hermione replied. "If he had dared to cut off the investment, not only you and me, even his assistant would have loathed him. A man shouldn't go back on his words."

"Okay," Grace nodded. "Glad to hearthat." "That's what I wanted to tell you," Hermione said. "You don't have to feel pressured. I'm just telling you so that you could be prepared for it."

"Thank you, Editor Howe."
