Perhaps Lawrence was touched by Grace's and Alice's words, or maybe he really wanted to stay.

He finally mustered up his courage and nodded.

"I think I really want to cherish this opportunity. I want to stay and overcome it."

Grace and Alice looked at each other. They had a feeling that he would not give up such an opportunity.

If he really let this opportunity slip, he would most probably end up being alone for the rest of his life. No one would be willing to help him right his wrong anymore. Therefore, he had no other choice but to accept their invitation.

"Then let's go in. It's too windy here and Grace is pregnant," Alice urged.

Lawrence immediately agreed, "Yes, let's go in quickly. Don't catch a cold."

Alice supported Grace back into the sunroom. Lawrence and the butler followed closely behind.

The butler hesitated for a long time because he didn't know how he would explain it to Heinz. Hence, he finally said, "Madam Grace, what about Mr. Jones?"

"I'll explain it to him. I'll be fully responsible regardless of the outcome, don't worry," she was straightforward.

"I feel that Mr. Jones is still mad. It's not good to infuriate him more," the butler said worriedly.

"No, he will definitely be at peace," Grace knew him very well.

She knew the reason Heinz was being repulsive of Lawrence was because he was afraid that if he forgave his father, it would be hard for him to seek justice for his mother. How and who was he going to look for to seek justice for his mother?

Moreover, he knew that Grace had forgiven Lawrence and thus the only thing holding him back from doing the same was his fear of letting his mother down.

"Me too. I feel that Heinz would not be so narrowminded," Alice was confident in him.

Lawrence said, "It's fine. If he is still mad then let him vent out his anger on me. Don't stop him."

He spoke bravely.

Over the past few months, he had been reflecting on his actions.

He had never been so lonely. Back in the days, he had tons of people swarming around him.

However, fast forward to the past few months ago, he had become poor and there were debtors hot on his heels. This was the first time he experienced fear and loneliness. Grace and Lester were the only ones who helped him to clean up his mess.

He finally knew how kind Grace was.

In the past, he was selfish and arrogant. He would only think for his own sake. However, after he experienced loneliness, he learned to think for the sake of others.

His memories brought him back to the times when Heinz and Lowell were still kids.

Only then did he suddenly realize that he had failed them as a father.

He didn't have the guts to go and apologize.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt ashamed of himself. However, if he didn't go and apologize, how was he going to make them stop hating him? Therefore, he had to overcome it.

He had made up his mind and he stood up straight.

Back in the sunroom, Heinz felt something was off. Grace had been to the toilet for far too long.

He stood up and exited the sunroom to look for her.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he got to the door, he saw Grace and Alice walking over and behind them were the butler and Lawrence.

His entire body stiffened, and the expression on his face instantly became gloomy.

His gaze became sharp as he glared at Lawrence's figure.

How dare he attend their wedding? Was he worthy to attend?

He was well aware that the money Grace withdrew was to pay for Lawrence's debts. Now that the debts had been settled, why was he here? Was he being greedy and wanted more?

He always had the impression that his father was a greedy person with no self-control.

Every time when he thought of him, there was not a single fond memory. On the contrary, it made him more upset.

To think that such a man was his father.

And it was inevitable.

On one hand, he hated being his son. On the other hand, he still cared about his father's well-being.

There was no way he could change it. It was a fact.

However, it was his wedding day. Why must Lawrence ruin it and leave Heinz such a bad impression of his father?

Soon, Grace met his grace.

She could see that he was going through a ton of emotions.

She stared at him worriedly, quickened her pace, and walked towards him.

Soon, she arrived in front of him and said, "Heinz, today is an important day, and I don't want to leave any regrets. Thus, I've invited my father-in-law to come to our wedding and let him have a meal with us together. I truly want us to live harmoniously together."

She had taken the initiative to speak first and Heinz was unable to get angry. He could only stare at Grace in a daze. Why was she so kind and generous? She could forgive everyone.

There was nothing he could do about it, but his gaze was still sharp as a knife when he glanced at Lawrence.

He stared at him and uttered lividly, "Grace is kind and generous, so she invited you in and you actually dared to come in?"

Lawrence pursed his lips.

Alice interrupted, "Heinz, don't misunderstand. Master Jones came to congratulate you. I also feel that today is such a big day for you guys and it is only considered complete with him here." "Really?" Heinz sneered, "I think it's disappointing that he's here."

"Heinz," Grace said, reaching out to hold his arm. "He's really here to give us his blessings."

Heinz lowered his head and stared at her, "Did you just address him as father-in-law? Have you forgotten how embarrassing he is? Have you forgotten how he was with your mother over the years and Lowell was born?"

"I haven't forgotten." She shook her head, "I've never forgotten. Lowell will always be a reminder to us and we don't have to turn a blind eye to it. Instead, we should bravely face it. Since we are able to raise Lowell by our side, then we shouldn't keep holding on to the past."

"Yes Heinz, be more open-minded," Alice persuaded him.

The butler didn't dare to say anything.

Grace lifted her head to look at Heinz, her eyes full of worry and pleading.

He couldn't bear to blame her, thus he could only purse his lips. The veins were slightly visible on his forehead. It was obvious that he wasn't happy

about it.

"Grace, Alice, thank you for being so considerate but there are still things I have to do by myself," Lawrence added cautiously. "Heinz and I should face it ourselves. It's cold outside. You all should head inside." Heinz was stunned and immediately held Grace's hand. He realized that her hand was a little cold and there were beads of sweat on her palm. He could feel that she was a little nervous.

He immediately restrained himself a little and said softly, "You can go in first. I'll go in right away."

"Heinz, I won't go in alone." Grace held his hand and said, "I will stay by your side. I know that you are afraid that if you forgive Lawrence, you will let your mom's death be in vain, but perhaps she too wished that both you and Lawrence could reconcile?"
