Old Master Carter's words sent a ripple through Heinz's heart.
"Did Grace love him?" He wondered.
Heinz was lost in thought.
Grace's face appeared in his mind and he thought of the scenes of them getting along with each other everytime.
It seemed that she hadn't said that she loved him.
Moreover, Grace's magnanimity was indeed very surprising.
That kind of magnanimity that could tolerate Jodie's parents was something that most people would not be able to do.
When Heinz thought about it, he felt very surprised.
This was not the behavior of a typical woman.
This was something that only a great heroine would do.
Old Master Carter's words had smashed heavily into Heinz's heart.
Seeing the expression on his grandson's face, Old Master Carter narrowed his eyes slightly, "Looks like you're also suspicious about it."
"Suspicious?" Heinz's brows furrowed tightly. "The child is already born. What do I have to suspect?"
"You don't have confidence in her feelings for you," The old man said lightly. "It's clear that you are not so sure, either."
"Don't alarm me with your words," Heinz said in a low voice, "You don't know Grace. I'm clear about my woman's heart."
"I didn't say anything. I just feel that she doesn't care so much about you." The old man reminded, "You know who you are and how much money you have. Do you know how many women would want to be your wife?"
"I don't think she's that kind of person," Heinz said firmly, "Don't worry about it."
"That would be the best." The old man was not angry. "Okay, let's not talk about useless things. Let's talk about the matter where you will send the child to play with me for two days.”
"I won't bother telling you that it's useless," Heinz said. "I suggest that you find an old companion to keep you company and spend your days together."
"No." The old man was extremely resolute. "Don't do anything useless."
Heinz looked at the old man who was still in high spirits. His thin face and figure were like a soldier's, but he'd been lonely ever since his grandmother's death.
Heinz knew that it was better for his grandfather to find an old companion.
"Are you sure?" Heinz asked again.
"Yes."
"You can't get Mrs. Hudson no matter what," Heinz reminded kindly. "Old Master Hudson is still in good health."
The old man sighed. "It has been a long time. Do you really think I could forget her?"
"You're the only one who knows whether you have let that matter go or not."
"Then, what about Jodie?" Old Master Carter's eyes were sharp as he stared at Heinz. "You're also thinking about her, aren't you?"
"We're talking about you. How did I get involved in this?" Heinz asked with a frown.
"It's the same," Old Master Carter said, "A long time has passed. Our feelings were lost with the time."
Heinz was stunned and said nothing.
When the old man saw him stand up, he was also displeased. "Are you leaving now?"
"Yes." Heinz nodded. "I'm very busy."
"What the hell are you busy with!" The old master made it clear that he didn't want him to go.
"I'm different from you, Grandfather," Heinz said in a low voice. "I have to raise my child, date a woman, and run my company now. I'm not like you. You're retired."
Hearing that, Old Master Carter frowned, a flicker of desolation in his eyes.
Heinz was stunned. He paused for a moment before saying, "How about this? I'll ask Grace to come and have dinner with us when she's free."
The old man's eyes lit up. He looked up at Heinz and put on a noble attitude, "Why should I have a meal with that woman? I want to eat with my greatgrandson."
"If you don't respect the mother of your great-grandson, do you think he would come and relieve your boredom?" Heinz asked.
The old man said, "Heinz, sit down first."
Heinz could only obey. "What do you want to talk about now?"
"I'd like to tell you something seriously."
