True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz)
Chapter 1086 It's All My Fault

As Jensen's heart tightened, his tone sounded more sympathetic and distressed. "Alice, don't cry."

Alice shook her head. It was already dark, and the cold wind was blowing.

It was a typical winter. They had been living in this kind of windy weather since summer.

She stayed silent and allowed the tears to flow down as they pleased. The way she looked now made people feel more distressed.

Her actions made Jensen's heart ache even more; he gently pulled her into his arms.

Alice did not struggle; allowing Jensen to hug her as he pleased.

He wrapped his big arms around her waist.

As Alice buried her face in his chest, she could smell the scent of tobacco, as well as the scent that belonged to only him.

"I'm sorry," he finally apologized. "It's all my fault."

He wasn't understanding and tolerant enough.

He didn't provide enough support for her.

There wasn't much he could do to help her. In fact, not only was he sad, he was even more defeated and even self-abased.

Alice was getting more powerful, and he was still just a policeman.

Jensen once thought that he would never feel inferior in this life.

However, he was wrong.

Reality slapped him in the face.

Ever since Alice took over Sunny Group, his self-abasement arose.

He had thought too highly of himself.

It was even more apparent when he saw Alice getting busier and more resolute day by day; it caused a sense of imbalanced mentality to grow from the depths of his heart.

To add fuel to the fire, his mother had been nagging him, saying that a woman shouldn't be too powerful, otherwise, she would not listen to her man and think highly of him.

He was deeply influenced by these words.

Alice remained silent.

"It's my fault," Jensen spoke again. "It's all my fault, Alice."

The grievance she felt could not be expressed with words.

She remained motionless and continued to allow the tears to stream down her face.

'T ve obviously made a poor judgment on the damage that had been inflicted on you and Grace. I didn't expect things to be so serious." Jensen said lightly. "I thought all she had was just diarrhea. So I thought settling this matter following the principle of peace was the most viable choice."

Because most things in the team were settled that way. Reconciliation was the best method.

Especially for a family like that; it was better to make peace with each other.

But who knew that it would be so serious?

"It has nothing to do with you." Alice removed herself from his arms, no longer wanting to be embraced, and looked at Jensen as they stood in darkness.

At that moment, her face was still tear-streaked. She was so weak and yet so strong-willed and stubborn.

"You can deal with this dispute without any emotions. Perhaps this is how you guys deal with public disputes, but this is everything to Grace. Quinn had assaulted her. Her action cannot be forgiven no matter how you see it. This is not Mr. Yarbrough's doing, nor is it yours. I shouldn't have vented my anger on you." She said.

"Alice!" Jensen was surprised by her politeness and tolerance. "I am your husband."

"Jensen, I'm not denying the fact that you are my husband. I just thought that perhaps we hadn't prepared ourselves enough to get married. Our marriage is based on your guilt and compensation to me. I've been wondering whether I have asked too much. I had actually hoped that you would fully understand and support me, but it's obvious that I've overestimated my charm. I shouldn't have asked you to give so much. You don't have to apologize to me. Let's calm down and put our matters aside. The only thing on my mind now is Grace; I hope she gets better."

"Alice, I also hope that Grace can get better," Jensen said in a low voice. "You have to believe me. I really hope so."

"I believe you," Alice said as she wiped away her tears and took a deep breath. "Why don't you go back up Don't say anything about Grace's matter for now. I'd like to be alone for a while before I head upstairs."

Jensen looked at Alice as he frowned and pursed his lips. "Okay, I'll head upstairs first."

Soon, he left.

Alice stood alone in the garden. She held her face as she squatted down and didn't move for a long time.

It was not until more than ten minutes later that she suddenly heard Heinz's voice.

"Alice?"

Alice looked up and saw Heinz standing in the middle of the road. He frowned and looked at her. "It's really you. What are you doing squatting down here?"

"Heinz?" Alice stood up but she nearly fell as her feet had gotten numb.

Heinz walked over and asked, "Are your feet numb?"

"I've been squatting for quite some time," Alice said. "I'll be fine. Heinz, you actually left the hospital?"

"I did," Heinz said. "What are you doing here?"

He stared at Alice.

Alice subconsciously lowered her head. Fortunately, it was nighttime, and the lights were dim so he could not see her tear-streaked face.

Alice quickly sorted her emotions and tried not to sound too emotional when she spoke.

"Jensen is here too. I spoke with him briefly," Alice said. "Then, he went up." "I know he is here," Heinz sounded a little impatient. "He has been a spoilsport recently. Have you two quarreled?"

"No," Alice shook her head.

"Don't lie," Heinz said. "You've been squatting here for a long time. I looked for several minutes before I was sure it was you."

"What?" Alice was astonished. "So you saw Jensen then?"

"Not really. I only saw you here. What exactly happened?" Heinz sounded concerned.

Alice felt warmed by his concern. Looking at Heinz, she thought about the time when she opposed his relationship with her sister. Instead of holding a grudge, he was able to ask how she was doing even though they were currently met with such an incident.

"We're not on speaking terms," Alice said. "Everything just doesn't feel right. I can feel that Jensen has changed ever since I took over Sunny Group but I don't have the time to give him my attention. Heinz, you too know that I am very busy. I have to re-learn everything. If you hadn't sent Alex, Lester, and some of the best people from your company to help me, I don't know how I would be able to keep up." "You're doing a good job," Heinz said.

"I know I've just started and there is still a lot for me to learn and consolidate. I can't always rely on your help. I need to be able to stand on my own feet," Alice pursed her lips and continued. "You know how Marry is, and Grace is not my father's biological daughter, so I'm the only one left. I hope that I can manage my father's business well."

"Don't you think you're rushing into it?" Heinz said.

"I know I am, that's why Jensen can't understand me." She did realize that the problem started when she took over Sunny Group.
