Heinz was speechless for a moment. It was true that he was afraid that his mother's death would be in vain then.

She had passed away all alone. How lonely she must have been during her last few years alive.

She had trusted the wrong person and ended up with such a man. His irresponsibility had caused her misfortune. She was depressed from the very start.

As her son, how could he forgive such a man?

Every time he thought of this man, he genuinely loathed him.

However, Grace's words were also reasonable. In his mother's last few moments, she never ranted about this man and she even asked Heinz to not blame him.

Heinz hated Lawrence from the bottom of his heart, but he was still his father regardless.

Just like that, his hatred eventually accumulated and there was no place for him to vent it.

Sometimes, Heinz felt that he was a coward. If it wasn't Lawrence, he might have beaten that person up to vent out his anger. However, Lawrence was his father, therefore there was nothing he could do about

it.

He knew that Grace wanted to solve the grudge between him and Lawrence but he was still struggling from the past.

He understood that Grace was doing this for his sake.

He was grateful to her.

In fact, he even admired her. She was also a victim herself. Apart from Heinz's mother, Grace and Alice had also suffered quite a lot during their childhood times.

Lawrence and Candance were irresponsible people. They were willing to neglect their own children just to pursue their love life.

They lived a happy and unrestrained life. In the end, Grace and Heinz were the ones who had to help them clean up their mess. They even had to foster Lowell. They had long accepted that Lawrence was an irresponsible man.

And now, he came to apologize and expect to be forgiven?

What was he thinking?

The world was full of shameless people.

"Alice, bring your sister in and let her have some food." Heinz glanced at her and ordered.

Alice looked at him worriedly and shook her head, "Heinz, the past is in the past. Don't cling to it. Let go of it. Life is full of wonders. It's not easy for you and Grace to get married today, so you should appreciate it."

She was someone who was calculative. When there was a slight misfortune, she would complain about it, but now, she was actually being kind and generous. She even tried to talk Heinz into letting go of the past.

It surprised him very much.

"Heinz, Alice is right," Grace also said comfortingly. "Don't hesitate anymore, okay? Do it for me."

In fact, the last salvation in the world was salvation for oneself. No grudges could ever be solved if one's heart was still twisted and entangled with the past.

To let go of the past and not hold on to grudges was to free oneself from being chained to the pain of the past.

She truly hoped that Heinz could be happy and not hold on to the past. After all, the past didn't have the best memories for him.

"Grace and Alice, please go in first. I would like to have a word with Heinz. This is something I should do," Lawrence said.

Heinz was breathing heavily. It was visible that he was upset but Grace was by his side and he had no choice but to endure it. She looked at him and then worriedly looked at Lawrence again.

He shook his head at her.

After hesitating for a while, she said to her sister, "Alice, let's go in first."

In fact, she understood that Heinz and Lawrence needed time to overcome this.

Alice helped her into the sunroom.

Since the wall of the sunroom was made out of glass, everyone inside had already seen what had happened outside. Lowell also saw his father. He stood up and pursed his lips, but did not come out.

He was in a dilemma about whether he should go out or not.

When William saw Lawrence, he couldn't help but sigh, "He's here. He'll come sooner or later. It's inevitable."

The moment Timothy saw him, his entire body stiffened and he was frozen in place.

All the people in the room were rooted in place.

Perhaps they realized what was going on, hence they did not interfere. Instead, they let them continue in private.

As soon as Grace entered the sunroom, William asked, "Grace, what's going on?"

She briefly explained things to him and said, "Everything is in the past. I also wish that Heinz won't think about it anymore. After all, they are father and son, and I hope that this can be resolved as soon as possible."

William sighed after learning the situation.

She immediately realized something and said, "Old Master Carter, do you think that what I did is inappropriate?"

"No." He shook his head and added, "You did not do anything wrong. It should be dealt with in this way but Heinz has too many knots in his heart. It's not something he can overcome so quickly."

She nodded and said hesitantly, "I know, there must be a lot of knots in his heart. After all, his mother had suffered so much."

"That's right. All of the knots in his heart are due to his mother's suffering. Lawrence was too outrageous and he does things without thinking of the consequences. I believe that the gods will punish for everything he has done," William sighed.

Grace looked out of the glass wall. The father and son stood there, looking at each other. It seemed that they didn't speak.

Outside.

"You can leave now," Heinz ordered sternly. "You're not welcome here."

"I will leave. Heinz, don't worry," Lawrence said cautiously, "Today is your big day. I hope you can be happy."

"I won't be happy as long as you're here," Heinz said pointedly. "You've brought so many misfortunes to others."

"I'm sorry!" Lawrence apologized. Looking at his son, his eyes seemed apologetic and he blamed himself deeply, "I know that you are mad with me, and I also know that you are furious."

"You don't have to feel sorry for me. You should feel sorry for my mother, my grandfather, Lowell, Grace, and Alice." Heinz said sternly, "Even if Grace, Alice, and even my mom don't hold a grudge against you, do you not feel any guilt?"

"Yes," Lawrence said frankly and looked at him with a self-deprecating smile, "I can't sleep. The moment I shut my eyes, I start to think about the terrible things I've done in the past, and I'm ashamed of myself! Heinz narrowed his eyes and looked at Lawrence

sharply.

Lawrence still mocked himself, "I have done too many wrong in the past and I wasn't aware of my actions. As time went by, I gradually realized my mistakes and it is also affecting my sleep." "You deserve it!" Heinz spat.
