In the shopping mall.

Grace and Alice both arrived at the shopping mall.

In the end, Grace had managed to escape from Heinz's claws. Seeing that she would make it up to him at night and that they would get their marriage certificate the following day, he had finally let her go. Only then could Grace go shopping with Alice.

Judging from Alice's appearance, she must have reconciled with Jensen.

"The two of you constantly fight and make up. Now, the both of you are fine again?" Taking advantage of the fact that there were only the two of them, Grace asked hurriedly.

Alice was embarrassed by the question and a glint of embarrassment flashed across her eyes. "Grace, I don't know what will happen. I don't want to hide it from you as I am not sure either. I don't know when I will suddenly want to quit again. Anyway, I can't stand Jensen's mother."

Grace nodded and agreed, "Although they say love can overcome any obstacles, it's very hard having a mother-in-law who is difficult to get along with.

"When the two are in love, men can protect women with their lives, and protect them from the harshness of their mothers-in-law."

"But once the love is erased by the trivial things in life as time passes, no one will know if the man will still have the mood and the strength to take care of his woman by then."

Alice nodded. In this regard, she felt that Grace was the same as herself. It was easy for them to lack confidence and to overthink.

"Jensen is not willing to break up." Alice lowered her head and said softly, "In fact, I also don't want to break up with him, but I'm also afraid. I'm already suffering now."

"It seems that Jensen is your kryptonite. After you met him, you have completely changed." Grace sighed and asked, "What did he say?"

"He went home and he must have met his mother, but he didn't mention anything about her. He only said that his father wanted to see me. He said that only the three of us will have dinner together, without his mother."

"Without his mother?" Grace frowned as her expression grew serious. "Alice, you're going to have dinner with Jensen's father, and you are going to hide it from his mother?"

Alice paused and then shook her head. "I am not very sure about it, but from the looks of it, that seems to be the case."

After a brief pause, Grace questioned, "Have you ever thought about what Jensen's mother will think of you once she knows that the three of you have had a meal together, but didn't tell her about it?" Alice's heart skipped a beat and her face instantly paled. Her palms began to sweat.

She was also feeling a little nervous. "Grace, what you said seems to make sense. I think if they don't tell her, judging by her character, she would definitely be angry if she comes to know about it." Grace looked at Alice. She smiled and asked, "Then, what do you think?"

Alice looked at the crowd in the mall. People came and went, and they were all hurrying everywhere. Their every emotion was written on their faces.

She retracted her gaze and turned to Grace. "I'll go all out. His father made the decision to have dinner with only the three of us. It has nothing to do with me whether his father calls his wife or not. If his mother wants to cause trouble for me, I'll just tell her honestly about how things turned out. She'd better not annoy me. Otherwise, she'll be lonely for the rest of her life.'

Grace's eyes narrowed, and then she burst into laughter.

"You've finally figured it out. You have to understand that there is no point in blindly retreating. Sometimes, retreating doesn't bring peace, so it's better to take the initiative to attack," Grace suggested. "Take the initiative to attack?" For a while, Alice couldn't understand Grace's words.

Grace nodded and said, "I think we should buy a gift for Jensen's father. It's the first time that you're meeting him so you should give him a gift. When he takes it back home, it will trigger his mother!" "Grace!" Alice shouted in amazement, "You're awful."

Grace smiled, a glint of cruelty flashing across her eyes. "If Jensen can't protect you from harm, you should protect yourself. If you can't, I can also come forward."

"Grace!" Alice was very moved and shouted in a low voice, "You are amazing. With you here, I'm happy."

Grace stroked Alice's hair and said softly, "You are my sister. I can be wronged myself, but if you are wronged, I will do my best to help you."

"Grace," Alice said as she wrapped her arms around Grace.

The two sisters hugged each other in the mall. Grace patted Alice on the back and whispered, "Tell me if you face any more injustice." "Okay."

"Let's go. Everyone else is watching."

Alice immediately left Grace's arms and saw a lot of people looking at them curiously. Embarrassed, she stuck out her tongue, held Grace's arm and walked up to the elevator. The open-air elevator kept going up.

The two of them went to the women's clothing area first. Grace helped Alice choose a white dress, which had a very simple design and was elegant and decent, suitable for a meeting with the parents. After trying it on, Alice was also very satisfied.

They came out of the shop with bags in their hands. Alice asked Grace, "Grace, what should I buy for Jensen's father?"

"A watch," she replied. "Buy a watch. His father is a policeman. He would make use of a watch often. You can buy a mechanical and waterproof watch for him."

"But which price range should we choose from?" Alice looked at Grace worriedly and continued, "If it's too expensive, I can't afford it. If it's too cheap, I can't afford to give it to him."

"Maybe about 10,000 dollars," Grace replied. "I've received my salary. I'll give it to you first."

Alice immediately grew anxious. "Grace, I can't use your money."

"I don't need money now. Heinz is taking care of me, so I don't need to spend any. This is my writing fee. The newspaper has been giving me a lot of money recently. You can use it first." Grace handed the card to Alice and said, "I don't want you to be stingy when you meet people for the first time. You should be polite."

Alice did not reply. Her eyes were filled with tears and her heart was warm.

It was really good to have an elder sister.

The two of them went to a shop selling watches. After picking for a long time, they chose an elegant and simple watch from a famous brand.

After paying for it, Alice picked up the bag and looked at the exquisite box inside. She sighed and remarked, "It's so expensive!"

"It's perfect to let Jensen's father wear it and show it to his mother every day," Grace commented casually. "You don't even need to say anything and it'll hurt her eyes."

Alice smiled. Recalling the grievances she had suffered yesterday, she let out a sigh.

"Cheer up," Grace reminded her. "It's no big deal."

"Got it!" Alice responded crisply and also smiled. She felt much better with Grace's support.

Seeing her bright smile, Grace was relieved.

At this time, Rosalie and Jovane were out shopping as well. Rosalie was feeling extremely suffocated at home, so she had called Jovane to make an appointment to go shopping together. Rosalie needed to take medicine. She wanted to buy a watch to remind herself to take her medicine.

Coincidentally, when they were about to enter the shop, they saw Alice and Grace.

The four of them came face to face with each other.

Alice tensed up in an instant. She held the bag tightly with her hands and her whole body was stiff. "A-Auntie, what a coincidence."
