True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz)
Chapter 1880

Heinz's words silenced Sylvia immediately. She didn't say a word for a long while.

Heinz could tell that Sylvia's breathing had suddenly stopped as well.

When Grace heard that Heinz told Sylvia about her crying, she poked him in the arm and glared at him. She thought that Heinz had a really big mouth. Grace had cried after her daughter raised her voice at her.

If other people knew about it, it would be shameful.

Even so, Heinz didn't care. He ignored Grace's glare. He wanted Sylvia to know that by losing her temper, she had ended up hurting her mother.

This time, Sylvia had broken Grace's heart.

Feng took a deep breath and asked softly, "Is Mommy really upset?"

When Heinz heard Sylvia's change of tone, he felt a little better. At least the kid still knew how to be considerate to her mother.

"What do you think?" he retorted.

"I'm sorry, Dad." Sylvia apologized. The arrogance in her voice had disappeared. She sounded upset.

"What's the use of apologizing to me?" Heinz asked in a cold tone, "The one you hurt was your mother, not me."

"Can you please tell her not to be angry with me?" Sylvia asked anxiously. "Please help me to placate Mommy. I will apologize to her later. I really didn't mean to raise my voice at her. I forgot that she's pregnant."

Hearing this, Heinz felt a little better. He had calmed down a little, but he was still a bit angry. "If your mommy hadn't been pregnant, would you have apologized?"

"It's not like that, Dad. Don't misunderstand me. I honestly didn't mean to upset Mommy," Sylvia explained once again. "Can you tell Mommy to not be angry at me?"

"I don't want to see your mother upset and angry either. But either way, she's already cried for hours." Heinz glanced at his wife, his eyes full of distress.

Grace felt even more helpless and gave him a side glare.

Heinz pointed to the phone and gestured to Grace that he was currently educating their child. He asked Grace to keep quiet.

Grace wanted to take the phone from Heinz and tell him that she was fine, but as soon as the idea occurred to her, she froze.

"Dad, I'm out right now." Heinz changed her tone slightly. "I'll call Mommy once I get back to school."

"Why can't you call her now? What's wrong with that?" Heinz's heart was filled with anger the moment he heard her say that. His anger flared up again. Sylvia was trying to evade the conversation. What was there to avoid?

Heinz didn't like that his daughter had become so private with her life.

Grace tugged on his arm. After all, Sylvia was currently with her teacher. Sylvia would feel embarrassed if their conversation prolonged.

Heinz turned to look at Grace.

She gave him a stern look and gestured for him to hang up.

Heinz was resentful. He didn't want to hang up the phone. However, after Grace rolled her eyes at him, he said unhappily, "Why did the teacher drive you out of school just like that? Is he even responsible? Sylvia, don't think that you can do anything you want just because you're living in the school dorms."

After that, Heinz hung up the phone without giving

Sylvia a chance to speak.

After he hung up the phone, Grace immediately said to Heinz, "I can't believe you're still spouting nonsense at this age. Where are your boundaries?"

"I didn't say anything wrong," Heinz said in a low voice. "All I've done is speak the truth. If I hold everything in without telling her, I might blow up."

"I bet you feel great now. You've said everything you wanted to, didn't you? But have you considered Sylvia's feelings? She's out with her teacher at this moment. What you just said implied that both the teacher and Sylvia are both problematic." Grace couldn't help but complain.

Heinz snorted and said, "So what if the teacher has an opinion? He's the one with a problem in the first place. A good teacher knows how to avoid danger. If a man takes a female student out and gets found out, everyone who knows about it might spread rumors about her."

Grace was rendered speechless.

It was really impossible to refute Heinz. He made some valid points.

"What if unpleasant rumors about her spread in school?" Heinz asked.

Grace snorted and said, "Heinz, you're worrying too much over Sylvia. You know that you won't be able to beat the man she will come to love in the future, right? She will leave us one day to be with her future partner. If you keep criticizing her even after she gets a boyfriend, they will think you're annoying."

Heinz felt his heart ache at the thought. The thought of her daughter leaving him one day for another man hurt him. He couldn't help but feel upset.

He was rendered speechless for a moment.

Suddenly, Grace's phone rang.

Grace picked up her phone and checked who was calling.

She was startled to see that Sylvia was calling her.

She hurriedly said to Heinz, "Sylvia's calling me. This is all your fault! Why did you have to tell her that she made me cry? It's so embarrassing!"

"Just pretend that you didn't know that I told her about it." Heinz continued, "She wouldn't know anyway."

Grace glared at Heinz and picked up her phone. "Hello?"

"Mommy." Sylvia's voice was a little low and hoarse. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have gotten mad at you today."

Grace was uncomfortable with the apology. She hurriedly replied, "It's okay, I didn't take anything to heart. Don't worry about it."

Upon hearing her mother's words, Sylvia felt even more guilty. "I'm sorry, Mommy. I've gone too far this time, didn't I. I raised my voice at you. You must be really upset."

"Not at all. I also took some time to reflect on my actions. I didn't get your permission before going to your school to look for your teacher. It was my fault. Sylvia, I didn't mean to upset you. I just heard about the young genius teacher in your school and wanted to meet up with him." Grace took this opportunity to explain to her daughter so that she could understand.

Some things were unintentional.

Grace did not want her daughter to have a bad impression of her.

Upon hearing Grace's explanation, Sylvia felt even more embarrassed. "Mommy, I know. I was shopping with Mr. Trevino outside and he talked to me about it. He told me that I had been too harsh on you." Grace was stunned by that. It seemed that Sylvia had called her because of something Mr. Trevino had said.

It seemed that Mr. Trevino could really influence

Sylvia.

It was a good influence. It allowed her daughter to understand Grace's feelings.

In any case, this meant that Mr. Trevino could control Sylvia well.

Grace was both sad and relieved by that realization. As long as Sylvia grew up to be optimistic and reasonable, it was enough for her.

Otherwise, Grace would not be able to live in peace.

"Mr. Trevino is really amazing." Grace sincerely praised him. "Sylvia, Mr. Trevino must be someone you admire a lot, right?"

Sylvia paused. Grace could not hear her daughter's voice at all, but she could tell that Sylvia was probably looking at Mr. Trevino at this moment.

Indeed.

At this time, Sylvia couldn't help herself from looking over at Mr. Trevino's handsome face from afar. Her gaze on him was tender and determined.

She said to her mother, "Mommy, you're right. I admire Mr. Trevino very much. He doesn't let me have my way just because I demand it, and he doesn't just put up with me for the sake of it. I think that Mr. Trevino really treats me as an equal.

Everyone else always just tries to accommodate me for the sake of it. I know that it's only because I'm from the Jones family."

Grace was really surprised. She thought that Sylvia sounded really mature.

Grace got a little emotional and said softly, "Silly girl, I'm just glad that you've recognized that. You should just be yourself. Don't put yourself on a pedestal, or think of yourself too poorly. You will be able to gain a foothold in this society with the skills you've acquired in the future. That is all I want for you."

"Mommy, don't worry. I will make a career for myself. I won't leech off of Dad or my brothers." Sylvia joked.

Grace was relieved when she heard her daughter's laugh.

"It's good that you're ambitious." Grace was very gratified.

"So, are you still mad at me?" Sylvia asked.

Grace shook her head and replied, "I wasn't angry with you in the first place."
