True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 400

Grace waited at the entrance of the kindergarten.

After picking up Little Gary, they bid farewell to Butler Holland and Ernest.

"Ernest, let's have dinner together tomorrow night. I will take Little Gary with me today. You'll have dinner with your dad, okay?"

There was a hint of displeasure in Ernest's big eyes, but the child was very sensible. Regardless of what he felt, he had never shown emotions that would embarrass the adults.

The little fellow nodded and replied obediently, "Okay, Aunt Smith. Tomorrow! You must keep your promise!"

Grace felt a twinge in her heart.

She stepped forward and gave Ernest a hug. "Ernest, I promise you that we will have dinner together tomorrow."

"Can I go to your house tomorrow?"

"Of course," she assured him.

"Alright," said Ernest with a smile on his little face. "Then I'll go now. Goodbye, Aunt Smith. Goodbye, Gary!"

"Goodbye!" Little Gary replied.

Grace held Little Gary's hand and they walked back together.

Gary asked Grace in surprise, "Mommy, why do you want me to go back? Do you have something to tell me?"

"I just want to be with you today. Only you and me," Grace said softly.

Little Gary tightened his grip on Grace's hand. "Mommy, what's wrong with you? Anything happened?"

"Nothing," Grace said. "Let's go and grab some groceries. I'll cook your favorite dishes."

"Alright!"

Off they went to the supermarket and bought some groceries needed. Then, they made their way home.

Walking upstairs and arriving at the door, they saw that Simon was waiting for them.

Grace was taken aback. She frowned and wondered why he was there.

Little Gary, too, was surprised to see him. "Mommy, don't tell me this is the surprise you're going to give me."

"You go in first." Grace took out the keys, opened the door, and let Little Gary in.

Simon stood at the side and fixed his eyes on Grace. However, he did not utter a word.

Little Gary entered the house and looked at Grace worriedly.

Grace shook her head at him and comforted, "Wash your hands and get changed first, okay? I will come in right away."

"Okay," said Little Gary before he stole a glance at Simon again. Then, he entered the house.

Grace looked at Simon and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Grace," Simon began. "I'm here to apologize to you."

"Please leave now," Grace said coldly. "You're not welcome here."

"Grace." Simon pursed his lips and smiled bitterly. He uttered, "I know you think that I'm annoying and you're disappointed in me."

Grace rolled her eyes and blurted out, "You're not worth my time."

She opened the door and was about to enter the house.

Simon reached out his hand to block her way.

Frowning, Grace said, "Get out of my way."

"Grace, let me just say a few words." He began, "I feel so ashamed to come and see you. I know I was wrong. I was framed by Marry..."

"Simon, everyone can make their own choices," Grace cut him off. "The past is in the past. No matter what you choose, I hope that your judgment isn't skewed. The most important thing is that you're sure of what you want."

Simon blurted out, "I just want you."

Grace frowned and straightened her back. She was disgusted by Simon's words.

He gave a self-deprecating smile and said, "I know, I am not worthy."

"Please don't say those irrelevant words again," Grace said frigidly.

Simon smiled bitterly and spoke, "I'm getting a divorce with Marry. She might vent her anger on you. Be careful, Grace."
