Along the way, Grace could not fall asleep. She bickered with Heinz all the way.

In a flash, they arrived at their destination.

When the car stopped, Grace was shocked and asked, "Have we arrived?"

"I guess so." Heinz said, "This must be it."

Grace sat up immediately. Her hair was a little messy. She tidied up her hair and took a look outside. The scenery was beautiful and lush. The environment was beautiful.

Grace was in a daze for a moment while Heinz opened the car door.

Grace took a good look and realized that the car was parked in a quiet courtyard. The courtyard was very quiet and beautiful.

The courtyard had a garden-style architecture and twisting paths. Each design was unique and ingenious.

At the entrance of the building complex stood two rows of people who looked like servants. All of them were respectful.

Grace was quite surprised.

It seemed that her cousin was really a very outstanding person, just like what Heinz had said.

When the two of them got out of the car, Alice and the children got out as well. The boys were very

excited and looked around happily.

Grace heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that Little Gary had adjusted well. He seemed happy throughout the second half of the ride.

Zachary also got out of the car and walked towards them. He said, "This is mine and my mother's manor. It is not open to the public. The guest rooms have been cleaned up. It is convenient and quiet for you to live here."

"Sorry for troubling you, Zach."

"It's no trouble. You are welcome." Zachary smiled slightly, "Come on, let's go into the house and have dinner first."

Grace nodded, "Zach, what about Grandma's ashes?"

Zachary said, "I'll bring it into the house."

"Okay." Grace did not hurry to leave. She waited for Zachary to take Grandma's ashes out of the car.

He placed the ashes in a square box made of wood that looked to be very high-quality.

Zachary carried the box of ashes and brought Grace and everyone inside.

Before she entered the house, she saw a middle-aged woman standing there in green traditional clothing. She looked gentle and very beautiful.

She looked at them, and her eyes were filled with tears.

"Zachary, you've brought back Grandma and your cousins?" "Mom! I've brought them back." Zachary looked at

the middle-aged woman and said, "I'll put Grandma down first and introduce you to each other."

"Alright."

Grace knew that the woman was her aunt.

She was the wife of her late uncle.

As soon as they entered the house, they saw the portraits in the main hall.

The man was Zachary's father.

He was very handsome, and Zachary was the revised version of him. People would know that they were father and son just by looking at them. Grace had mixed feelings.

Her uncle died at a young age, and her aunt looked very young. She looked like she was in her forties.

Grace knew that her aunt should be around 50 years old.

Zachary placed the ashes on the table and said respectfully, "Dad, I've brought Grandma back. Our family has finally reunited. I've also brought back my younger cousins." Zachary said to his father's portrait sincerely.

Grace looked over and her heart was filled with a mix of emotions.

Zachary's mother, Nerissa, stepped forward and looked at Grace. She smiled faintly and said gently, "Are you Grace?"

"Do you know about me?" Grace was surprised.

Nerissa nodded, "I know about you. Zachary told me over the phone. Your uncle had been working hard these past few years, but unfortunately, his ability was limited. He didn't manage to bring your grandma or your mother back."

Grace felt a twinge of sadness in her heart.

Nerissa realized that she should not have mentioned so much. Therefore, she immediately changed the subject. "Are you Alice?"

"Aunt Nerissa, yes I am." Alice stepped forward and said, "I am Alice!"

"Good girl." Nerissa's eyes were filled with love. "I am so happy that you can come here. Your uncle in heaven will be very gratified."

"Aunt Nerissa." Grace's eyes were also red. "We are also very happy to see you."

"Me too." Nerissa said with relief, "No matter what happens, we are a family."

"Yes, Aunt Nerissa. Let me introduce you to them." After wiping her tears, she pulled Heinz over and said, "This is Heinz, my boyfriend. We are going to get married when we return." "Heinz," Nerissa looked at him and said, "I've heard a lot about you. You are the youngest golden bachelor in Northern City."

"Nice to meet you, Aunt Nerissa." Heinz instantly became serious and said respectfully, "I'm glad to meet you."

Nerissa smiled and suddenly realized there were two little boys. She was slightly surprised and said, "Are they your children?" "Yes, Aunt Nerissa," Grace called the children over in a hurry. "Little Gary, Ernest, come here. This is Aunt

Nerissa."

"Nice to meet you, Aunt Nerissa."

"Nice to meet you, Aunt Nerissa."

The two kids greeted Nerissa at the same time.

Nerissa really didn't expect to see Grace's children.

She took their hands and said, "Good boys, follow me into the house and receive your gifts."

"Aunt Nerissa, there's no need for gifts," Grace said quickly.

"Come in first. Let's go to the side hall for a rest and have dinner." Nerissa said to them, "I'll bring the children to get some things."

Nerissa did everything in a haste. She entered the room on the side with the children in a flash.

The children were very obedient. They followed their aunt through the corridor and entered a room.

Alice and Grace looked at each other and said, "Grace, what should we do? Should we pray for uncle?"

"That makes sense." Grace said, "Since we call him Uncle, we have to pay some respect."

"Alright," Alice said with a nod and headed to the portrait.

"I'll go too." Heinz said deeply from behind, "Let's go together."

They quickly came to Zachary's side as he stood up.

They knelt down together.

Zachary was slightly surprised. "You guys..."

"We are paying some respects." Heinz said, "We

should do this to our elders."

"Yes, Zach." Alice said, "Let's pray for Grandma and Uncle. It's the right thing to do."

They stopped talking and prayed for a while.

When they stood up, there was a glimmer in Zachary's eyes as he said, "Let's go to the restaurant for dinner first. Let me introduce my mother to you." "We've introduced ourselves," Grace said.

"Oh, that quick?" Zachary was very surprised.

"Aunt Nerissa knows us," Grace said.

"I've told her on the phone before." Zachary smiled slightly and said, "Come on, let's go to have dinner."

As they were about to leave, a servant came to report to Zachary. "Young Master, Master Maxim's butler is here. He wants to invite you over."

"We are not going." Zachary refused directly, "Tell Master Maxim that I will go there after the meal."

"But!"

"There is no 'but'." Zachary's attitude was firm yet calm.

The butler was in a difficult situation, but he still nodded and said, "Yes, I'll go back right away."

Heinz took a look at Grace while she did the same.

They exchanged a look without saying a word.

"Zach, are you sure you want to refuse him?" Alice asked curiously.

"I've made everything clear on the phone." Zachary said lightly, "He wants me to follow his idea. No one has ever disobeyed him ever. I'll be the first then."
