True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 91

Marry Smith was facing Heinz Jones, she was excited and visibly moved, she had the feeling of being reunited with a loved one, and tears were welling up in her eyes.

"It's true, Mr. Jones, my younger sister had left home for many years. I was not aware of her return, and did not expect to see her in the President’s office." Marry Smith said. As she spoke, she gently wiped away her tears with her hand. "I am indebted to you, Mr. Jones." Marry Smith added.

Feeling surprised yet slightly doubtful, Heinz Jones glanced at Grace Smith, she was motionless. Narrowing his eyes, he said, "Mrs. Brown, you're too polite. What a surprise that Grace Smith is your sister."

Marry Smith kept her emotions in check and smiled. "Yes, many people do not know that I have a sister."

"You have only one sister?" Grace Smith asked, she stood up, gazed steadily at Marry Smith while walking towards her. "There are three sisters in the Smith family, apart from you and me, we have a younger sister. You haven't forgotten, have you?" Grace Smith continued in an emotionless tone.

Marry was taken aback. A slightly cold expression came over her but she quickly recovered from it. "No, I did not forget. Is Alice with you?" Marry Smith asked.

Grace Smith looked at Marry sharply. Marry seemed to have absolved her guilty conscience, and Grace felt her emotions running high.

The more she she thought of the past, the more difficult it became to mask her anger.

Marry Smith gave her a warm gentle smile, which made Grace frown even more.

"Grace, don't you know? Your brother-in-law and I were so upset over your departure. I know you still resent me, but in the end we are sisters after all. Blood is thicker than water." Marry Smith spoke while stretching out to hold Grace's hand.

Grace curled her lips in disdain and avoided her hand.

Marry froze. She felt slightly embarrassed but she still maintained a cheerful demeanour. "It's alright, we haven't seen each other for years, I guess we have grown apart. I know you still blame me, but I hope you can forgive me, as I felt guilty about the past all this while."

Grace Smith stared at her in indifference, without any reply.

Heinz Jones was confused by this situation. He could tell that Grace Smith and her sister were not on friendly terms.

"Everything alright?" Marry Smith asked, she attempted to hold her hand again.

Grace Smith still avoided her hand, but Marry grabbed it anyway, and her eyes were filled with tears. "Dear sister, I was so worried for you. I am really glad to see you again." Marry said.

"This is Mr. Jones' office, not a place to reminisce about the past.¹' Grace Smith said, she withdrew her hand in a cold manner. "I still have work to do, if you don't."

Marry Smith froze.

Grace Smith turned around and said to Heinz Jones, "Mr. Jones, please excuse me for a minute, my apologies."

This time, without waiting for Heinz Jones' consent, she turned around and walked out.

Heinz Jones was stunned. Looking at her walked away obstinately, he felt a sense of irritation. This really was a strange coincidence.

Marry Smith looked even more regretful and tearful seeing Grace Smith stomped out. She took a deep breath, wiped her tears and apologized. "Mr. Jones, I'm really sorry. I was so excited that I forgot that this is your office, I was so overcome with emotion that I started blabbering about the past. Many apologies."

"No worries." Heinz Jones replied without emotion. "Please take a seat."

As they sat down, Heinz Jones glanced at Marry.
