True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz) -
Chapter 1037
Everyone in The Jones family home was happy as they had all received a cheque worth one month of their salary.
Those who won the bet were happier, while for those who lost, they felt that it wasn't a loss seeing as how they got their cheques.
Everyone who was with the Jones family was just filled with joy and laughter.
Heinz did not head to the company. He stayed at home and took care of Grace.
He was a really good husband. He helped to take care of everything in a very thoughtful and well-organized manner.
No matter if it was about her nutrition intake or other aspects, he could do a good job.
Their relationship also became more stable after going through so many ups and downs. Plus, now that he was spending more time with her due to her pregnancy, they were getting closer.
On one afternoon, after their nap, Heinz held Grace's hand and brought her for a walk around the garden
The two of them talked while they walked until they reached the backyard.
They opened the door to the backyard and saw a portrait of Lawrence.
It was then that Grace realized that it had been almost one or two months since the incident, and she didn't know how he was doing now.
She glanced sideways and found Heinz looking at the portrait with some deep, inscrutable emotions in his eyes.
She then asked casually, "Heinz, have you seen your father recently?"
He shook his head.
"Did he call you?"
"No." Heinz had never looked for him, either.
Grace had never called nor acknowledged his father before. She found it weird because of the relationship her mom had with him.
He had never asked her to acknowledge him, either.
Ever since her mother passed away, there had been no news of his father other than his last visit. It was as if he had disappeared into thin air.
"Are you worried?" Grace asked gently. "If you are, you can look for him. Even if you just want to see him from afar it's fine."
"I haven't contacted him recently and I don't want to," Heinz said.. "Some time ago, Lester reported to me about his situation. He stayed in a hotel and would only just drink. He didn't even dare go out." "Why not?" She was a little surprised. "Why doesn't he dare to go out?"
"He's now being chased after by someone because of his debts."
She was also surprised. "Heinz, why does he still have debts? Haven't you paid them for him yet?"
He shook his head. "I'm still angry at him."
His expression was cold and hard when he said that. He practically growled, saying, "Frankly speaking, I do not really want to help him to pay this money. Since my mother-in-law passed away, I have just giver up on him. I don't want to say anything more to him. As for his debt, I can pay it back, but I just don't want to."
Grace listened and understood what he was trying to say and how he felt.
He was deeply dissatisfied with how Lawrence treated his mother.
His mother had to leave the world with eternal regret, and Heinz felt that this was something that can't be made up. Lawrence had made his mom's life sad and depressing until she left, so how was it possible
for Heinz to treat that man well?
"If it's time to let it go, just let it go." Grace comforted him and said, "Everything's over now, Heinz. He's your father." "He doesn't deserve to be my father." He shook his head.
"Even if he's not worthy, he's still your father." She knew that Heinz's feelings towards his father were complicated.
He paused and he shook his head. His eyes became firm. "Maybe there are some things that can be let go but there are some things that can't, even after our lifetime."
"Then wait for your heart to be completely at ease," she said softly. She didn't force Heinz to let go of everything now. She just hoped that he wouldn't regret it.
Grace was about to continue speaking when he spoke. "Grace, let's not talk about anything unpleasant, okay?"
"Okay," she nodded helplessly. She also knew that there were some things that couldn't be rushed. This was indeed not easy for him.
During the afternoon, Heinz went for a drive, and he unconsciously drove to Sakura Hotel.
He was unaware of his destination until he reached the hotel.
Looking at the groups of people gathered in the hall, he fixed his eyes on them and he sighed.
In the end, he still came here.
When Grace approached him about his father, Heinz wanted to just drop the topic but who would have known that he would be in such close proximity with his father just an hour later. He thought deeply about himself. How was it possible that he could be so contradictory?
Perhaps it was because he had been telling himself for a long time to come visit his father, which was why he found himself here at that moment. He opened the car door and walked towards the hotel. He thought why not take a look since he was already here. Plus, what Grace said was right; he was still his dad after all.
However, what greeted him the moment he entered the hotel was a surprise. He heard a familiar deep voice that was full with a strain of pride, "Heinz Jones is my son. Do you think I lack money? I've been staying here for so long. I don't lack the money to pay."
"Sir, we know you've lived here for a long time and you're Mr. Jones' father, but if it wasn't for Mr. Jones, we wouldn't have let you stay here for another month for free. It's been a month. You said last month tha you would pay the bill but you've now pushed and delayed it for three weeks. How much longer will you delay?" The female receptionist at the front desk explained patiently.
"I've said that I don't lack money. My son will come to pay the bill soon," Lawrence still said calmly. There was anger and irritation in his voice. He kept shouting, "Why don't you listen to me? My son will come and give me money. You don't have to push me for money. I am Heinz's father. Don't you know me? How about Jones Estate? Heinz is one of the top notch people in Northern City. He can definitely afford to pay for it. I will not be short of your money if I stay here. Can you not be so uptight? Just give me a little more time."
The receptionist looked at him and glanced at the hotel guests behind Lawrence. She dared not make a big fuss and said, "Mr. Lawrence, it's not that we can't give you more time but you owe us a month's worth in hotel bills. If things go on, we will have to ask you to check out of the room."
Lawrence was angered as soon as he heard it and said sharply, "I've told you many times that my son is Heinz Jones. We don't lack the money and I will certainly pay you back."
"There is really no way, sir. We are just doing things according to the rules. We really can't accommodate you just because of Mr. Heinz. Just please hurry up and check out. Our manager has said that the bill for the past month can be written off seeing how he doesn't want to embarrass Mr. Heinz, but you really can't stay here anymore."
"You are driving me away?" Lawrence became embarrassed. Many people were coming and going around him in the hall, and that made him more impatient, "I'm not leaving, I won't leave."
"Sir, since Mr. Heinz Jones is your son, why don't you look for him? It won't do you any good if you made a fuss here. It would not do any good to Mr. Heinz if you continue shouting and making a scene." The receptionist was still patiently persuading Lawrence.
However, he was still reluctant to leave.
Heinz stood by the hall and heard everything. He was shocked to replace his father in such a desolate situation. He felt surprised seeing how far his dad had fallen, but that wasn't for long as what was left in his heart was just sadness and sympathy.
