True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 775

Candace looked sharply at Heinz and said, "Mr. Jones, you are overly confident. Are you not aware of the storm you have stirred up? And you have the nerves to bring the children into this. You should have known that this was coming from the second you began to lie to Grace. You're not suitable for her. I don't agree with you two being together."

"Aunt Candace, it was Grace who chose to be with Heinz," Zachary defended him. "I don't quite understand where you are going with this now."

"Zachary, you have no place barging in on this conversation right now," Candace rebuked him. "You don't have to say anything."

He frowned and looked at her, who was clearly crossed by his words. He was somewhat dumbfounded by this.

"Aunt Candace, you're right, this is indeed no place for me to be giving opinions. Have you ever stopped to think that you too are being opinionated where it's not needed; in Alice and Graces' affairs." He argued, "Also, riddle me this, it is reasonable that you do not approve of Heinz and Graces' relationship seeing the mess that he caused, but what about Jensen? He's a good man and has a stable relationship with Alice. Why are you against it too?"

"Because he is a policeman," said Candace. "He either poor or prone to die young."

Jensen almost choked.

He was really impressed by the tone and guts of this woman before his eyes.

He was poor, but he wasn't that obnoxious, was he?

Heinz then stood up and said.

"Madam Lowe, if that is all, we'll take our leave."

"Stop!" Candace yelled furiously in an instant. "You haven't agreed to my terms yet!"

"I won't agree to leave Grace," he answered bluntly. "Madam Lowe, have you ever stopped to consider how Grace would feel about you approaching me about this?"

"She's really in no position to be dwelling in her feelings now that her life is a complete mess. Ever since she's been with you, she has become a laughingstock. Everyone around her has been calling her a mistress. Mr. Jones, who do you think you are to be questioning me like this? Have you ever thought about how Grace must be feeling since you deceived her?" Candace criticized him outwardly. "Since you couldn't care less about other people's feelings, it is only right that your feelings are not taken into consideration in return."

After a momentary pause, Heinz's expression became stern.

Every single word that came out of her mouth pierced his heart like the tip of a dagger, causing it to bleed uncontrollably.

He knew for himself how sorry he felt for what he put Grace through.

"Sit down. I'm not done yet," Candace ordered him in a low voice.

Despite how he felt about her approach, Heinz obliged her instructions and complied. It was most likely guilt that motivated this behavior.

He looked at Candace and tried to calm himself down. "Madam Lowe, everything you've said is the absolute truth and I admit to it. I did not care for Grace as I should have and now that all the awful incidents have passed, I will do right by Grace and make up to her for our troubled past in the coming future," Heinz explained himself almost as if making a promise to Candace.

"Whatever that has happened by far is merely just the beginning. There is definitely more to come, and for that very reason, you are not a suitable partner for her," she rebutted once again.

"If you feel so strongly about that, then enlighten me, Madam Lowe, who is a suitable candidate to be Grace's partner in your opinion?" Questioned Heinz.

"Anyone is practically better than you," she answered baselessly.

"Even I, a policeman, am not to your liking. I'm starting to think that there is absolutely no one who will be to your liking," chuckled Jensen.
