True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz)
Chapter 1046

Half an hour later.

Heinz embraced Grace, and whispered in her neck, "Thank you, Honey. Thank you for your hard work."

She blushed and replied, "Why are you thanking me? It's what I should do."

The instant she said this, she was actually a little embarrassed.

After all, she felt quite awkward doing something that she wouldn't normally do.

Fortunately, she could help him.

He was silent for quite some time.

Perhaps he was too moved because she was being sincerely considerate towards him.

All the forbearance and persistence were meaningful after all.

She understood him.

She was willing to do anything for him.

Heinz felt sorry for her, but touched at the same time.

"Honey, you are so nice," he repeated.

Grace shivered at his words and requested softly, "Let me rest for a while and help me massage my hands. They're a little tired."

She shook her hands, and he immediately nodded. He took her hands and gave her a massage.

She looked away from him and turned her face slightly. The two of them sat silently by the window. She was partially lying down, and he was sitting on the side, rubbing her hands. Everything was so perfect at this moment.

"Knock, knock." Someone was knocking on the door.

She was startled and glanced at him right away. "It must be the kids. You go get dressed quickly. I'll open the door."

Heinz looked at himself. He was still wearing the large bathrobe, and the knocking on the door continued.

He instantly frowned and guessed, "It must be Little Gary."

Grace nodded and said, "Yes, Little Gary likes to knock on the door several times."

"I'll go get dressed." He got up and kissed her before he went to change his clothes.

After tidying up the room, she went to open the door.

When she opened the door, she saw Little Gary, Ernest, and Lowell standing outside.

She was stunned and asked, "Why are you three here? Are you done practicing the piano?"

"Mommy, please come out and have a discussion with us," Little Gary urged. "It's about our younger cousin."

"Oh, what's wrong with Maria?" Grace asked in concern, "Aren't you all doing well these days? What's the matter?"

She followed the three kids to the living room and sat down on the sofa.

Little Gary said, "Maria left very early this afternoon. It seems that she asked for a leave."

"Why did she ask for a leave?" She asked.

"Aunt Nerissa went to pick her up. She asked the teacher to call Aunt Nerissa to pick her up. We asked her what happened, but she didn't tell us." Little Gary sounded worried.

He was also shocked. Seeing that he was really worried about Maria, Grace picked up the phone, "I'll just call Aunt Nerissa and ask her."

"Yes, Mommy. That's what we meant. Gary wants you to call and ask Aunt Nerissa," said Ernest, who was standing beside him.

"Okay." Grace dialed the number, but no one

answered.

Left with no other options, she called Zachary.

The call was quickly answered.

His voice was heard from the other end of the phone. "Grace, what's the matter?"

"Zachary, Maria went back early today. I want to ask what's going on. I called Aunt Nerissajust now, but she didn't pick up." She couldn't help but get anxious.

"It's nothing." He explained, "My mom has had high blood pressure these days. Maria was worried that my mom would not go to the hospital, so she asked the teacher to call my mom to pick her up in the afternoon, and they went to the hospital for a check-up. Now, my mom is upstairs and Maria is with her."

"Aunt Nerissa has been having high blood pressure?" Grace was very surprised, "Is it serious?"

"It's because she stayed up late. Maria slept a little late the past two days." Zachary's tone was low, which sounded a little helpless, "When Maria is having nightmares, my mom will stay up late to be with her." Not only Aunt Nerissa, but he had also stayed up late.

Maria was really in a bad state these days.

Although Zachary did not say anything, Grace could tell from his tone that he felt helpless and sad.

It was indeed not easy for a man to bring up a child.

"Bring Maria over during the weekend. Little Gary and Ernest miss her. Even Lowell is asking about her. The three of them are very concerned about her sudden absence. We didn't know that she is so filial and is worried about her grandma."

"Weekend?" Zachary was dazed and said, "We may not be able to stay with you this weekend. Let's make it next weekend."

"We can't do it this weekend." Grace suddenly remembered that the wedding was going to be held that weekend. The Butler had informed her, but, uh, she forgot again.

"Zachary, actually this weekend is fine, too. Let's have fun together. Maria may be too lonely. I will ask someone to clean up the guest room and you can ask Aunt Nerissa to come too. Let's gather," suggested Grace. "Alice has not come for quite some time already. I'll call her over too. Let's have a family reunion."

"We must get together this weekend," he said. "Let's discuss it later." "Okay," she nodded. "Is Aunt Nerissa really okay?" "Her blood pressure is under control. I've hired the best babysitter to look after Maria, sc she can help to share the burden with my mom," he stated.

"Zachary," Grace sighed in her heart. "Take care of yourself, too."

"Don't worry. I'm fine." He smiled.

Grace only felt bitter in her heart.

Zachary's "I'm fine" was so sad to listen to. She knew that he had not been well recently.

The birth of the child was a surprise, but the leaving of the child's mother was really irritating.

It wasn't easy for him.

She really hoped that Yvonne would come back one day, and not just disappear like this.

"Well, tell the children that Maria is fine," Zachary reassured her. "Thank the children for me."

"We are family, so you don't have to be so polite." She valued this family relationship very much.

"Okay." He hung up the phone quickly.

Grace looked at the children and said, "Maria is fine. Aunt Nerissa has high blood pressure, but it isn't very serious." "That's great," Little Gary nodded.

Lowell sat by the side, not saying a word.

Most of the time, he was very quiet. She knew that he thought a lot.

Little Gary and Ernest already ran off to play.

Only Lowell accompanied her.

She asked, "Lowell, are you alright now?"

"Grace, I'm fine." He also comforted her by saying this.

"I want to tell you a secret." She felt that the child had a heavy heart and she needed to communicate with him.

"What secret?" He was a little surprised.

Grace looked around and saw that no one was around. Then, she lowered her voice and said, "Your dad has found a place to stay now. You don't have to worry about him."

Lowell froze, feeling a little shocked and surprised. He looked at her and muttered, "Grace."

"Cheer up. You seem to be in a foul mood recently," she encouraged him. "Study well. When the time is right, I'll bring you to see him."

"Thank you, Grace." He pursed his lips and felt a little shy. He was a little embarrassed to admit it, but he still said bravely, "I am very worried about him. No matter what, he is my father. I'm angry but I'm also worried about him."
