"Yes, I'm here to comfort you. I also want to check on you." Old Master Carter nodded. "You're clever. Interacting with smart people isn't tiring."
Grace was a very smart person.
"I don't have any expectations." Grace said, "I broke up with Heinz. We raised our children. As for what will happen in the future, I don't know. I will just go with the flow."
"Jodie signed the divorce agreement. I'm still worried that there will be changes; she is not in a good state right now."
"Then you should comfort her instead of coming to me," Grace said with a smile. "Do you want me to comfort her?"
"Of course not." he shook his head right away. "That would be making things difficult for you. Besides, she is not my granddaughter-inlaw. My grandson doesn't like her. She has nothing to do with me."
Grace was stunned. She felt that what Old Master Carter said was reasonable.
"My grandson likes you and I like your personality, so I'm here to see you. Besides, I got the results today. I'm showing it to you and letting you know so that you can rest assured."
"Thank you," Grace thanked him. "I am comforted that you came to see me."
"Silly girl, I am relieved now. You are indeed much better than Jodie and you are more suitable to be Heinz's wife."
She paused for a moment and suddenly understood what he meant. "So you came to see me and also to compare. You want to know who is more suitable to be the daughter-in-law of the Jones family?"
There was a flash of guilt in the eyes of Old Master Carter. This was a child who knew everything.
At the same time, she saw it clearly.
He blushed and admitted, "Comparing Jodie to you is really not right, but I really like you. You see, people tend to be selfish. You're my grandson's wife. I care about you and you care about my grandson. I also care about him. We're all happy like this."
"Thank you for the compliment." Grace said, "We're all happy now. I'm just afraid that Jodie won't be happy for us."
It was obvious that Jodie didn't want to divorce, so she went to see the old master.
But Heinz insisted on a divorce, so it was also useless for Jodie.
She had no choice but to go to Old Master Carter, hoping to use all means to save her marriage.
It was just that the past was gone, and it would only increase the sadness if she forced it any further.
Just like Simon and herself, it was the same. The past was gone, but still, many people were too stubborn to let go.
If it was her, would she be able to give up her relationship with Heinz?
Old Master Carter gazed at Grace like he was thinking of something. He said, "Girl, can you tell me the truth? Will you marry Heinz once he gets the divorce certificate?"
Grace shook his head. "I don't think so."
"Why not?" He was anxious. "You guys already have children, so it's for their sake."
After thinking for a while, she said, "It's not an excuse that I have children. It's precisely because I have children that I'm not in a hurry and I want to give Heinz a chance to think about whether I am the right woman for him or not."
"He has already thought it through." Older Master Carter said directly on behalf of his grandson, "Now, he looks like he is going to die, which makes me feel very uncomfortable."
"Mr. Carter, it was Heinz who proposed the break up with me." Grace said, "After he proposed breaking up, do you think I should rush to him and continue to marry him?"
"What's wrong with that?" He said, "I think it's quite good. There was an obstacle in the past, but now that it's been lifted, shouldn't you get married as soon as possible?"
Grace smiled and didn't answer.
She didn't know what to say. She could actually understand what he was thinking about right then, but she wasn't in a hurry this time.
Who would be in a hurry to get married right after they separated?
