True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz)
Chapter 279

Jensen's eyes narrowed with anguish.

His heart broke for her.

He couldn't help but feel remorse.

Deep down, he felt sorry for Alice.

If it weren't for him, she would have turned out to be an ordinary twenty-something girl, happily falling in love.

Even if she hadn't been in love, at least she would be yearning for it, but not exclaiming that she had given up on marriage.

And he was the culprit.

It was all because of that night.

Jensen knew that it had something to do with him. If he hadn't hurt Alice so deeply, she wouldn't be in pain for the past six years.

Perhaps for the past six years, Alice had been suffering in silence.

He was overwhelmed with emotions. After staring at her for a long time, he said, "Alice, I believe that where there's a will, there's a way." Alice was puzzled. It seemed that she didn't get what Jensen meant.

Or, it was Jensen who didn't understand what she meant.

She turned to look at Jensen and unintentionally

met his eyes. She quickly averted her gaze.

Still watching her, Jensen said, "Even if you are as stubborn as a mule, I will try my best to soften you up. I'm convinced that we would end up well." His words were incomprehensible to Alice.

She was perplexed by his behavior.

"Up to you." She didn't want to talk about it anymore. "Let me know when we're home," she said coldly.

"Okay," Jensen nodded. When he was about to start the car, he paused and noticed that Alice hadn't buckled up.

He leaned over slightly and reached out to pull her seat belt.

His manliness was intimidating.

Alice could feel his warm breath blowing on her face.

Already breaking into cold sweat, Alice said, "Jensen Charm! What are you doing?"

"I'm helping you with the seat belt," Jensen quickly explained and pulled her seat belt over.

Alice pursed her lips. Her back was still numb and she felt extremely annoyed.

With a click, the seat belt was secured.

Alice suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Alice breathed a sigh of relief thinking that Jensen would retreat to his seat.

However, he did not move.

Alice instantly became anxious again.

Jensen looked at her, sweat was already forming on her forehead.

Seeing her being nervous and fidgety, his heart broke a little.

"Alice, don't be worked up," he said softly. "It broke my heart."

She gazed into his eyes unbelievably.

Giving no mercy, she said harshly, "Is there something wrong with you? Don't try to sweet-talk me. Keep them to other women."

She felt even more uneasy when he was so close to her.

"I wasn't sweet talking. It's all true," Jensen said softly and placed his hand gently on her shoulder.

Alice's body stiffened and said, "Let go of me."

"Don't be afraid." Jensen squinted slightly, grabbed her shoulder and said softly, "I won't hurt you."

"Stay away from me!" Alice shouted angrily. Her voice, hands, and even her body were trembling.

It worried him to see her being agitated.

"We kissed yesterday, you can do it," he said suddenly. "You have to believe in yourself, try not to reject it. I have no bad intentions at all, nor am I trying to take advantage of you. I just feel that you need some time to accept me. I'll wait for you, no matter how long it takes."

Upon hearing this, Alice pursed her lips. Her mind was tangled. She then said, "You'd just be wasting your time for nothing." "Let's see." He smiled and his row of teeth could be seen. They were clean and tidy. To avoid the awkwardness, Alice looked away again to avoid his eyes.

Jensen stroked her cheek gently. It made Alice freeze once again.

He chuckled and seemed to be enjoying it.

Then he returned to his seat and said, "You can't run away from me. Alice. When I have made up my mind on something, I won't be giving up easily."

"What do you want to do?" she shouted irritably.

"I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I want you to be my wife. I want you to have babies with me." From the way he talked, it seemed that he was genuinely looking forward to it and there was no trace of lies.

Alice could feel her heart trembling.

She looked at the man beside her. His handsome face was glowing from the slanting rays of the setting sun.

She was lost for words.

"You can never escape from me," he repeated. "I can make the criminals have nowhere to hide. And I can deal with a criminal suspect for many years. You're no match for me at all." "Am I a criminal suspect?" Alice despised that metaphor so much that she said with a cold face, "You should brush up your talking skills."

"Ah." Jensen came to his senses and immediately said, "No no, that's not what I meant, Alice. What I meant was I'm determined and not one who easily gives up. Do you understand?" "I don't understand, Officer Charm," Alice lied.

She definitely understood.

She was just afraid that she would not be able to handle the truth.

To her, Jensen seemed to be too enthusiastic.

"Are you going to start driving?" Alice curled her lips in disdain. "Judging from your speed, criminals would have gotten away."

Looking at her flushing face, a smile spread across Jensen's face. "Yes, Madam!"

He then drove away.

Alice's face turned even redder.

She shifted her gaze to the window. Looking at the busy streets, she felt an indefinable sadness.

"Jensen," she called out to him.

"Yes?" Jensen threw her a glance and saw her lowering her head. He asked worriedly, "What's wrong?"

"Be honest with me. Am I right for not allowing you to tell Heinz about Little Gary?" Alice asked.
