Life was full of jokes.
Alice found out that the two five- year- old children were more open-minded than her.
She sat there in a daze and she did not move for a long while. However, her face was extremely pale. Little Gary and Ernest's words suppressed her anger and made her reflect on their relationship.
If it was in the past, she might have flown into a rage, but now, after all the experiences that she had gone through, she knew that her sister might be the saddest and the most embarrassed person among them at the moment. She felt sorry for her sister and brother-in-law from the bottom of her heart.
She was stunned for a long time before she came to her senses. She looked up at Lowell, who had been staring at her uneasily.
She stood up and walked out without saying a word.
Little Gary quickly stopped her and asked, "Aunty, where are you going?"
He was a little worried that his aunt would do something impetuously.
She did not respond and continued to walk out.
He caught up with her immediately and said in a low voice to her, "Aunty, Mommy is still calm. It means that she is able to put up with it, therefore you'd better not cause more trouble. Otherwise, it would be a bigger problem. You can ignore Lowell's feelings, but you have to consider my mommy's feelings."
Perhaps his words that were too righteous, which made Alice stop.
She looked at him composedly and said, "I'll go back to my room and call Jensen."
He heaved a sigh of relief in an instant. His tone was gentler as he said, "Take it easy!"
Alice glanced at him and said, "You are right. Your mommy is having a more difficult time than I am. We should think about her feelings."
She left in haste and went back to her room to call Jensen.
As soon as the phone was connected, she asked straightforwardly, "Jensen, have you called Heinz today?"
He was perplexed and replied, "Yes, why do you care about this? I often call Heinz."
She tried to remain collected, wondering if Jensen would tell her about that matter. She said, "I know. What did you say to him? He didn't look good after the call."
"Nothing," he said. He thought about telling Alice after he came back. After all, it couldn't be explained clearly through the phone.
Alice was despondent when she knew Jensen was not going to tell her.
Little Gary and Ernest also refused to tell her the truth in Lowell's room just now. She pondered, "Am I really that unreliable? Why is everyone afraid of telling me?"
She began to doubt herself.
Sensing that there was silence on the other side of the phone, Jensen instantly asked, "What's wrong? Why did you suddenly stop talking?"
She replied in a low voice, "To you, am I really an impulsive and mindless person?"
"Why do you suddenly ask this question?" he asked. Alice's appearance immediately came up in his mind. "Is she acting on impulse frequently?" He wondered.
Jensen thought for a moment, but before he could reply, she had already said in low spirits, "It seems that I am really that kind of person. Fine, I will accept it."
"Alice, what's wrong with you?" He asked. He knew there was something amiss. He could tell that she was in a pensive mood and might have encountered some difficulties. He comforted her right away, "You have always done everything properly, Alice."
In her view, Jensen's words were more like a perfunctory encouragement to her. She said, "Alright, let's end the call here."
Jensen looked at the time and said, "Well, we will have a good talk later. I'll be back soon, so wait for me."
