Rosalie was stunned and her face stiffened. She turned pale and then red, and she looked very bitter.
The belief that she had insisted on in her heart seemed to have collapsed without warning. It was so sudden and it smashed right in front of her.
She couldn't believe it. She frowned and asked, stuttering, "Heinz, w-who are you going to marry?"
Heinz maintained his proper manners and he was polite and generous. He looked calmly at Rosalie and even smiled slightly. "Aunt Brooks, the one I'm marrying is Grace."
Although Rosalie was mentally prepared, she couldn't hold back her shock when she heard his confirmation. "Heinz, you want to marry that woman?"
Heinz didn't say anything. He didn't like Rosalie's rude behavior, but he endured it because of basic courtesy. He was trying to behave like a gentleman.
"That woman's mouth is so vicious and vile and she also doesn't know to respect her elders. She's simply too tart and mean. She's really not a kind person." Rosalie couldn't hold back her anger whenever she thought about it.
Especially when Grace had a smile on her face; she even said so many things calmly. Although it was not direct, her way of doing things was much wiser than directly saying things.
Grace even asked Rosalie's only son to be married off to her family and become a live-in son- in- law. It was definitely a great humiliation.
The more Rosalie thought about it, the angrier she became.
The angrier she was, the more she wanted to say, "Heinz, you are the president of Jones Estate. You have a career, a family and a high status. Why do you want to marry such a woman?"
"Mom!" Jensen couldn't bear to listen anymore. He stopped her and said, "Can you stop talking already?"
"Jensen." Rosalie looked at her son. "Heinz is your good friend. I can't watch you two marry such women. She really is unkind. Both of the sisters are not good people. You two have been cheated. Those kinds of women really don't deserve you two."
Jensen gasped when he heard that. He couldn't understand where Rosalie's thoughts came from. They were simply unreasonable.
"Aunt Brooks, what do you mean by those kinds of women?" Heinz maintained a good demeanor. "As far as I know, the unkindness you talked about did not happen to Grace and Alice. They are both very normal."
Rosalie immediately became sensitive. With a pale face, she asked, "You're saying that I'm not normal?"
Heinz was stunned. "Aunt Brooks, when did I say that you're not normal?"
Heinz felt that it was too unfair. He didn't say anything, yet Aunt Brooks reacted this way. It was too horrifying.
He looked at Jensen.
Jensen also helplessly spread out his hands and said, "You see? Heinz, this is it. You haven't spoken yet but she has assumed it herself. She assumes this and that, and likes to jump to conclusions. We are so busy. How are we to have time to say anything about her?"
Rosalie's expression was still very ugly. She looked at Heinz and then at her exasperated son. She still struggled. "I'm doing this for your own good. It's okay if you say things about me but my heart is in your favor. Heinz, don't hurt yourself for that kind of woman. It's not easy for you to achieve what you have at this point. You deserve better."
"Aunt Brooks." Heinz's tone was already cold and his eyes were getting sharper and sharper. He said, "The woman you refer to is the mother of my children and my beloved woman. Are you questioning my poor taste or Jensen's poor taste? Both of us are almost 30 years old. If you need to worry about us choosing a woman, then we deserve to get cheated. Aunt, you'd better take care of your own health."
At this stage, Heinz felt that he had been polite enough.
"But she has a sharp tongue." Rosalie was already in a panic. This was beyond her expectations. Why was Heinz so determined to marry that woman?
