Although Zachary had made up his mind, Grace was still worried. She was used to thinking about problems from all aspects, from the cause to the results.
She was especially more anxious because her grandmother's ashes were involved in this matter.
Although Heinz and Zachary had joined forces, it was very difficult for them to challenge a stubborn old man's mindset.
"Mommy, Aunt Nerissa gave us this." Little Gary held a huge envelope in his hand. "Can we accept it?"
Ernest held the same envelope in his hands.
The two children didn't dare to take it, thus they came to ask Grace.
Grace saw the envelopes and she immediately felt embarrassed, "Aunt, this is too expensive."
"It's okay." Nerissa thought that it was not a big deal. "The children are here for the first time. Of course, I have to express my appreciation as their aunt."
"But I didn't..." Grace said awkwardly. Before she could finish her words, Heinz interrupted her.
"Grace, the gift you've prepared for Aunt Nerissa is still in the car," Heinz said from her side.
Grace was dumbfounded instantly.
Heinz looked at her, smiled, and said to Little Gary and Ernest, "Little Gary, Ernest, you can accept the
gift from Aunt Nerissa."
'Alas, you guys are being too polite," Nerissa said with a smile. "Don't be so polite in the future. This is your own home. Make yourself at home."
"You are welcome, Aunt." Heinz said, "Grace told me to prepare a gift for you."
Heinz said this to make Grace feel less embarrassed.
Aunt Nerissa smiled kindly.
Grace was very surprised. She looked up at Heinz, with doubts in her eyes. He actually prepared a gift, which was very thoughtful.
Heinz winked at her.
Grace quickly turned away and didn't want to look fazed by his ogling behavior.
"Let's sit down and have dinner." Nerissa said, "You must be hungry after the long journey, aren't you?"
"It's fine. I'm not very hungry, Aunt," Heinz called her Aunt naturally.
Grace sat down, but her heart was still in her mouth.
She didn't know if they could finish this meal before Master Maxim came.
As expected, her worries came true.
Halfway through dinner, the butler came to report, "Madam Nerissa, Young Master."
He scanned for their reaction and didn't speak directly.
Zachary stood up and walked outside.
The butler whispered a few words in his ear. Nobody knew what they were whispering about.
Zachary frowned and looked gloomy.
Grace looked at Heinz worriedly but he was not anxious at all. He was very calm.
Zachary returned and sat down. Everyone turned to look at him.
He was also very calm and said, "Let's continue eating. It's nothing."
Nerissa was also slightly relieved. "Let's eat, Well rest after eating."
"Young Master, we can't hold on any longer." The butler shouted in a hurry, and then someone pushed him. He fell to the ground.
Zachary frowned, and glanced at the door with sharp eyes.
A walking stick entered the door, and the next second, a foot came in.
They all looked in the direction of the door and saw a white-bearded old man walking in. The cane he was holding seemed to be really valuable.
