True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz) -
Chapter 598
Alice froze and involuntarily looked towards the door with teary eyes. She had not expected to see Jensen so soon again.
Alice was both shocked and embarrassed at the same time.
"I rushed here because I felt worried. I hope that I'm not too late and can still be of help," Jensen hurriedly replied.
He was actually looking at Alice while saying this. He grew even more worried when he saw her tears.
"You came at the right time. We are in the midst of discussing something serious," Heinz said. "We are discussing these things. Do you understand?"
"Zachary already told me about it just now." Jensen replied, "He briefly explained everything to me. I also learned about what happened today from Alex and Lester. So Gary was kidnapped but came back by himself?" "That's right. Uncle, I had been kidnapped, unfortunately, by two stupid kidnappers," Gary responded. "Anyway, I'm fine, so you don't have to worry about me."
"It's good that you're alright." Jensen breathed a sigh of relief. However, his gaze remained fixed on Alice.
Alice turned her face aside and looked away from him.
Jensen felt awkward as he stared at her.
"I'm all right, Uncle," Gary reassured him and looked towards Alice with his large eyes. "Little Aunt is the one who has been crying. She has been absent-minded all afternoon. She must have missed you, Uncle."
Jensen paused upon hearing his words, feeling slightly surprised.
Alice almost jumped up from her seat. "What are you talking about? I don't miss him at all."
Everyone else felt awkward as well and Heinz looked at Alice with a smile.
Alice's face had turned bright red due to embarrassment.
Gary replied, "I am only telling the truth, Little Aunt. You have been so absent-minded the whole day. All of us know that you miss Uncle. I am just helping you to say it out loud. Why are you so angry? Are you embarrassed?"
"Ahem, ahem..." Heinz tried to remind Little Gary to not go overboard. At the very least, he shouldn't embarrass a girl like this by telling everything as it was.
Gary understood what Heinz was trying to do, but he chose to ignore him. "What's there to be embarrassed about? How would he know that you miss him if you don't say it out loud?" "Shut up," Alice exclaimed.
"Hmm!" Gary shrugged. "You are so fierce, Little Aunt. It's so scary. It's no big deal to admit it."
"Then why don't you acknowledge your father?" Alice could not hold it in anymore and retorted, "It's no big deal to acknowledge your father."
Little Gary's eyes immediately widened. They were filled with astonishment.
Heinz felt content when he saw the look on Gary's face. He really appreciated Alice's words.
Gary quickly retorted, "Little Aunt, we are talking about you and uncle now. Please don't change the topic."
"A child should not get involved with adult issues," Alice also responded quickly. "Don't change the topic too. It's so difficult to get you to acknowledge your father every single time. Is it so hard to just do it?" Upon seeing how infuriated Alice was, Little Gary immediately pulled Ernest and suggested, "Ernest, let's go in and watch TV. Little Aunt is so scary when she is mad."
"Let's go, Brother!" Ernest hurriedly followed Gary into the room to watch TV.
Alice's face was flushed red.
Jensen and Zachary stood there in silence.
Heinz glanced at Zachary and asked, "What do you plan to do with Grandma's ashes?"
Zachary did not answer his question, but instead looked directly at Grace.
Grace paused. She realized that Zachary was asking for her opinion and was hoping that she could be the one to make the decision.
As for Grace, she hoped that Zachary could make the decision instead.
However, Grace took the lead and said, "Zachary, you decide."
Zachary was surprised as he turned to look at Heinz.
Shrugging his shoulders, Heinz said, "Grace is feeling really conflicted. Why don't you make the decision?"
Zachary nodded. "If you ask me, I don't agree with moving the grave out."
Everyone was taken aback by his decision.
Grace exclaimed, "Do you mean that you still want grandma to be buried in the Lowe family's ancestral grave?" "Yes!" Zachary replied, "Looking at the overall situation, the best choice is to bury her in the ancestral grave."
"But didn't the Old Master say that he wanted to move her out?" Alice immediately retorted.
"I understand." Zachary said, "But there would only be Grandpa, Grandma and my father if the graves are moved out. The tombstones may be damaged out of revenge." "That's not what you said before." Alice asked again, "Are we still afraid of them if we move the graves out?"
"You've seen it, too." Zachary replied, "She could even smash the urn holding the fake ashes into pieces without a moment's hesitation. It is too impulsive to take the risk now."
Heinz also nodded and looked toward Grace. "What do you think?" He asked.
"Zachary, you are actually very thoughtful but I don't think Grandma wants to be buried in the Lowe family's ancestral grave," she replied.
However, Uncle Philip had a strong relationship with the Lowe family because he had been raised by them. The best choice would certainly be to bury him in the ancestral graves. Even so, Zachary could not convince himself to do so.
Zachary's face fell. "Uncle Charles and Aunt Eva are currently in the police station. However, no one knows whether they would do something more extreme when they are let out."
"How about we set a phoney grave in the ancestral tomb and an actual grave in Northern City? In this way, not only can we hide it from Lowe family members but we can also fulfill the old master's wish. You will have the best of both worlds. What do you think?" Heinz suggested.
"Heinz, I agree," Alice immediately agreed.
Grace paused. "But it feels so strange to be this sneaky."
"Since ancient times, nobles and generals have been building two graves. A fake one and a genuine one. I think that this is a feasible plan if we want to satisfy everyone," Heinz replied.
Grace could not replace a good reason to refute his words.
"What do you think?" Zachary asked while looking toward Jensen.
Jensen quickly looked away and replied, "I also think that Heinz's idea is not bad. We can do this to protect the grave."
Upon seeing that Zachary was hesitant, Heinz added, "Of course, you would be the one who will make the final decision. We are only suggesting things now."
Zachary nodded. "I will make a trip to the hospital later."
"Zachary, we will be waiting for your news. Please discuss it with Aunt Nerissa," Grace said.
"Alright."
"Jensen, please comfort Alice. You are the only one who can do that when she cries," Heinz said to Jensen.
Jensen was surprised and looked straight at Alice with worried eyes.
