Grace was startled. Zachary had guessed what she was thinking.

Indeed, she hadn't thought about asking for his help in the future. Their relationship was not that deep after all. She thought that it would be better if she caused him less trouble in the future. However, Zachary's words had surprised Grace.

"I know you are together with Heinz now and you also have children," Zachary spoke again.

Grace was shocked again. "Zachary, do you read the gossip magazines too?"

"I don't bother about the rest, but I read a little about yours," Zachary explained. "It was a coincidence that I know about this."

It was amazing that he knew so much.

Grace was shocked.

Zachary said, "You don't have to feel like we are strangers if you need to ask for my help. The regrets from the previous generation are enough to lament.

Grace felt touched. She nodded her head and held Grandma's urn firmly.

"Let's go. Get in the car."

"Okay!" Alice and Jensen came out as soon as the two of them got in the car.

Jensen fetched Alice while Zachary fetched Grace

as they went to store the ashes.

It was not until Grace realized that the place was only two houses away from the Smith Family's house that she realized that it was indeed near. The villa was much bigger than the Smith Family's villa.

There were even guards stationed at the entrance upon entering the place.

Grace carried the ashes and got out of the car. Before she even got out, she heard someone calling for her.

"Miss Grace! Miss Alice!" They heard a familiar voice.

Grace and Alice turned around at the same time and saw Loraine, who was the previous servant in the Smith Family's villa, running towards them. Both Grace and Alice were shocked.

Why was Loraine here?

Zachary explained, "Marry sent some people away. I happened to lack servants here, so I asked Loraine and her husband for their help. Loraine kept this place well."

"It's rare to replace a nice person like Mr. Lowe. He fed us when we were at our lowest." Loraine looked at Zachary, full of gratitude.

Grace could see that Loraine was truly thankful for Zachary.

She felt rather grateful as well.

Loraine was a hardworking servant at home. It was really unfair for her to be driven out by Marry.

"Miss Grace, Miss Alice, how have you two been these years?" Loraine came forward with tears in her eyes.

"We're doing fine, Loraine." Grace felt tears welling up in her eyes too.

"Loraine, let's go in first," Zachary spoke at the right time. "Have you cleaned up the place that I've asked you to?"

"Yes, Mr. Lowe." Loraine quickly wiped her tears and said, "Please come in."

As soon as they entered the door, Zachary pointed at the highest position in the hall and said, "Grace, you can put Grandma's ashes here."

Grace placed the ashes gently on top, while Loraine took out a photo and put it in front of the urn.

Zachary stood in front of the photo, knelt in front of the ashes and the photo, and bowed deeply.

At this moment, Grace and Alice did the same and knelt.

When Jensen, who was following behind, saw this situation, he knelt beside Alice as well.

This was Alice's grandmother. He should pay his respects.

After bowing three times, Zachary spoke to Marilyn's photo and ashes with a low voice, "Don't worry, Grandma. We will make sure everything will be arranged well and bring you back to Southland." "Everything will be arranged well."

Grace suddenly felt a new sense of admiration for Zachary.

When she returned home and saw Heinz, he was immediately filled with suspicion. "Grace, what happened? How did you manage to have a cousin all of a sudden?"

It seemed that Alex had told Heinz.

"He's Grandma's grandson, so naturally, he is our cousin. I was doubtful at first, but both Alice and I acknowledged him as our cousin during our first meeting."

"Do you know what kind of a person Zachary is?"

"How is he?" Grace looked at him in surprise.

Heinz didn't say anything. Instead, he pulled Grace into the house.

Soon, they entered the house. The children were watching cartoons. Grace greeted the children and hugged her two sons. Then, she asked Heinz, "You haven't answered yet."

"I know." Heinz said, "Go take a bath and change your clothes first. Let's go in and talk."

Grace frowned and said, "You'd better tell me first."

"Let's get you changed first," he insisted.

"Are you sure?" Little Gary looked at Heinz and said in disgust. "It's still daytime in the afternoon. You're making Mommy shower and change her clothes. Do you think that we don't know what you are planning to do?"

Heinz was stunned. He felt somewhat hurt as he stood there for a while.

He looked at his son as if he was his enemy and couldn't help but snap, "Your mother just came back from the funeral parlor, so I'm getting her to shower and changed her clothes to remove the bad energy. What were you thinking?"

Grace was also taken aback by Little Gary's words.

However, Little Gary did not care. He replied frankly, "Don't nag at me. You often have ulterior motives."

Heinz felt that it was a good thing to have this son protecting his mother, but Little Gary was too hurtful towards him.

"Whatever," Little Gary looked at Grace and said, "Mommy, you really can't keep spoiling your man. If you spoil him, you'll have to suffer in the future."

"Little boy, do you have a grudge against me? How can you frame me like this?" Heinz didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He glanced at Little Gary and then at Ernest, who was grinning as he looked back at him. "And you, Ernest, aren't you going to help your dad out?"

"Yes, yes." Ernest nodded immediately in response to Heinz's putting him on the spot.

"What are you helping him for?" Little Gary glanced at him. "Isn't it your mother who was the one who was wronged?"

Ernest's heart lurched. He looked at Little Gary and then at Grace. Then, he subconsciously shook his head. "It's Mommy. I feel sorry for Mommy, so I'll listen to my brother."

"You've betrayed your father at such a young age. Daddy is now alone," Heinz felt that now the kid had a mother, he had forgotten all about his father instantly. He felt like an outcast now. However, when Little Gary heard what he said, he snapped back instantly, "What do you mean you feel lonely? Then who are we and Mommy? What do you see us as?"

At that point, nothing that Heinz said would be right.

Heinz immediately gazed at Grace as if he was asking for Grace's help. He showed his puppy-eyes pitifully.

He was hoping that Grace would stand up for him and help him say a few words.

However, Grace was only staring back at Heinz. She suddenly realized that watching the children bickering with Heinz was also an exciting thing.

Little Gary was willing to bicker with Heinz because he liked him. If he hadn't had any expectations of Heinz, he wouldn't have kept arguing with him like this.

Hence, it was also a good thing.

She shrugged her shoulders and said, "I'm going to take a shower and change my clothes. You're right. The bad energy from the funeral parlor was heavy and it needs to be washed away." "Mommy, you'd better lock the door." Little Gary reminded her. "Otherwise, he might not even allow you to have lunch."
