True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 471

The older one got, the wiser they became.

Although Mrs. Hudson's words seemed to be nonchalant, they barely concealed the razor sharp edge they carried.

Heinz smiled calmly and didn't answer. Instead, he changed the subject. "Mrs. Hudson, we have yet to hold a wedding ceremony. When the wedding is held, we'll invite you and my grandfather to the wedding banquet."

Mrs. Hudson pulled her lips. "Of course, I'm going. I've been looking forward to Heinz's wedding for many years."

"Thank you, Mrs. Hudson," Heinz said and smiled again. "It's such a coincidence that you've come tonight."

"Yes, what a coincidence," Mrs. Hudson said with a smile.

Claris couldn't help clenching her hand into a fist. Her face turned pale as she held her breath. Suddenly, she lost control and shouted, "Heinz, why would you lie to us that you've gotten married?"

Suddenly, the entire living room fell silent. Everyone looked at Claris.

Grace knew that Heinz had deliberately lied that they were married.

Old Master Carter opened his mouth to speak but no words came out.

"Claris," Heinz said in a deep voice. "How do you know that I'm lying to you? What's the point of lying to you?"

"Brother Heinz!" Claris looked hurt, and her lips were trembling. She could no longer suppress her sadness. "If you're not married, then why do you have to say that you are?"

Heinz's eyes suddenly sank.

The temperature in the room suddenly dropped.

She was really pushing her limits.

"Do I need to report to you whether I'm married or not?" Heinz didn't hold back. "Am I obligated to tell you?"

"Tell me," Claris said, pointing a finger at Grace. "Grace, are you guys married yet?" Claris yelled.

Grace was stunned. Looking at Claris's reaction, she felt helpless.

She said, "No, Heinz and I are not married yet."

There was no need to hide their marital status.

"Grace," Heinz raised his voice immediately. In his opinion, there was no need to reveal that to the Hudson family.

Grace smiled at him. "I'm fine. It's the truth. We haven't gotten married. Since Miss Hudson asked, just tell her the truth."

Mrs. Hudson did not have much of a reaction. She looked at everyone and still smiled. After hearing Grace's words, she immediately said, "Claris, since Heinz said that he's married, then you should believe him. Please congratulate them."

Claris stood rooted to the ground, not moving an inch. Soon, tears filled her eyes to their brims.

"Claris!" Mrs. Hudson raised her voice. It was commanding.

Claris had no choice but to oblige, "Congratulations, Brother Heinz."

However, she didn't congratulate Grace. She glared at her angrily. "You didn't get married, yet you said you were married. Heinz, you're really good at telling lies."

"How does this concern you?" Heinz glanced at Claris, who was about to burst into tears, with his cold eyes.

"Of course, it concerns her." Suddenly, a child's voice sounded from the corner.

Stunned, everyone looked at the source of the sound.

It was Little Gary.

He was staring at Claris with his wide eyes.

Everyone was looking at him, but he didn't care. He said slowly, "This aunt looks like she's eager to marry you, that's why she refuses to believe you're married. In fact, marriage is just a formality."

"If it's yours, it will be yours. If it's not yours, you can't force it," Little Gary said.

Then, he continued, "Why would you ask an old woman to help you when you alone cannot handle the situation? Heinz is an old man with 2 children. Apart from being rich, what other good do you see in him? Why are you so eager to be a stepmother? Is it really that fun?"
