Lester could not bear to see Heinz's appearance and he asked with concern, "President, are you okay?"

Heinz didn't move and he clenched his fists by his side. After a long while, he said, "Let's go to the Lawson family."

"President, let me go." Lester said worriedly, "You'd better take care of Miss Smith. Right now, she is emotional and I hope she doesn't get into trouble again."

Heinz paused for a moment. A look of conflict flitted across his handsome face. He nodded and said hoarsely, "You're right. I'll go right now."

Lester and Heinz went their separate ways and headed for their respective destinations.

Heinz thought that Grace should have gone to Emerald Apartment by now.

However, when he arrived, he knocked on the door and Jensen came to open it.

When he saw Heinz, he frowned and asked in surprise, "Why are you here? Aren't you two going to get your marriage certificate today?" "Did Grace come over or not?" Heinz asked. He did not pay attention to Jensen's question.

"No." Jensen shook his head. "Only Alice and I are at home."

Heinz was stunned and said to Jensen, "If Grace comes, tell me."

"Okay!" Jensen nodded and was very surprised. "But Heinz, what's wrong with you two? You don't look good."

"It's nothing." Heinz didn't want to talk about such an embarrassing thing, nor did he want to cause other people trouble, so he smiled and flashed an extremely embarrassed and weak smile. "You don't look like you are okay." Jensen said, "Have you called Grace?"

"Don't worry about it." Heinz said, "You go do your things."

He turned around and left quickly without looking back.

Jensen closed the door and went back. Alice was still lying in bed. Jensen did not hurry to go to his workplace nor to the hospital for a few days.

The two of them were going to have dinner with Nelson that evening and Alice was very soundly asleep.

"I seemed to have heard Heinz's voice just now." Alice peeked out from under the blanket. "Jensen, did he and Grace get their marriage certificate already?"

"I don't think so." Jensen shook his head. "I noticed something was wrong just now. Heinz's expression was very bad. It seems like something big has happened. Perhaps their marriage isn't going well?" "Huh?" Alice immediately got up from the bed and looked at Jensen with wide eyes. She asked nervously, "What's going on? Did Heinz say anything?"

"No." Jensen shook his head. "I don't know what's going on. I'm just guessing by looking at his pale face. I wonder what's going on."

"I'll call Grace." Alice was already in a panic, and then she became anxious. "The fact that they didn't go get their marriage certificate early in the morning and Heinz came here to replace Grace means that something has happened."

Alice kept talking and began to look for her phone.

Jensen took her phone from the bedside and handed it to her. "Your phone is here. Alice, when you talk, talk nicely to Grace. Don't ask her directly."

Alice was startled. She looked at Jensen and nodded knowingly. "I know. I won't ask her directly."

Only then did Jensen feel a little relieved. Life was really full of twists and turns.

Alice picked up the phone and called Grace's number.

"The number is engaged!" She put down the phone and looked at Jensen with a frown. "Is it Heinz who is calling Grace?"

"Maybe," Jensen said. "You can try calling again."

"Okay!"

Alice called again. This time, it connected right away.

It didn't take long for Grace to answer the phone.

Alice immediately asked nervously, "Grace, where are you?"

Grace was stunned and said, "I'm outside. What's wrong?" Everything sounded normal.

Alice turned on the speakers that Jensen could also hear the conversation. This way, he could help and judge what was going on.

"Grace, you and Heinz are going to get the marriage certificate today," Alice said. "I just wanted to ask, have you gotten it already?" After a pause, Grace said in a calm tone, "No, we didn't. It's not right today so we didn't get it."

"Why isn't it right?" Alice still couldn't help but want to know what was going on.

After thinking for a while, Grace said, "Alice, something has happened, which makes me want to re-examine and decide if this marriage should happen or not. Don't worry about me. I know what I'm doing." "Grace, I don't know what happened." Alice immediately became very anxious. "But I think I should tell you that Heinz came to look for you just now. He didn't seem very happy. We don't know what happened. If you are outside, you should come back quickly. Don't make us all worry."

"It's not a big deal." Grace tried to comfort Alice. "I've caused Jensen and you to worry about us. Heinz and I both know what we are doing. I won't go back now. Don't worry. I just want to be alone for a while." "Grace, are you really okay?" Alice was still not at ease. "Tell me where you are and I will go and replace you."

"No, aren't you going with Jensen to meet his father tonight? Just do your best and be generous. I'm alright. I'll call you later," Grace said. "I'll hang up now."

No longer giving Alice a chance to speak, Grace hung up the phone.

Hearing the sound of the call ending, Alice looked at Jensen helplessly and said, "Jensen, what do you think would make someone change their mind when they are getting a marriage certificate?" "I'll call Heinz." Jensen took his own phone and called Heinz.

At this time, Heinz was smoking in the car downstairs. After he came down, he didn't know where to go to replace Grace.

Now that Grace had left, where would she go?

Emerald Apartment was occupied by Alice and Jensen. She would definitely not go to the villa on the top of the mountain or the villa where Ernest lived. She had no place to go, so she must be wandering outside.

When he thought that he had made Grace like this, Heinz felt extremely guilty and was in pain.

He puffed out a mouthful of smoke, which was full of loneliness and regret. The white smoke curled up and there was a trace of sorrow in it.

The phone rang.

He picked it up. "Jensen?"

"Heinz, Alice just called Grace and she said that you two are not getting your marriage certificate for the time being. I want to know what happened."

"Nothing." Heinz said, "Don't ask anymore."

It was really hard for him to open his mouth to talk about this matter. He felt so ashamed that he couldn't say it out loud. Even if he could, it was still unbelievably embarrassing.

He felt guilty towards Grace. It was more difficult for him to explain this matter to his good friends.

"How can I not ask?" Jensen said, "Alice and I are both anxious. If both of you don't tell us, we would be even more anxious."

"Jensen, you and Alice be good," Heinz said. "It's hard for me to talk on Grace's behalf. It has nothing to do with Grace. It's my fault. It was my horrible mistake."

"Where are you?" asked Jensen.

"Don't worry about this anymore." Heinz didn't want to explain this matter and he felt that it was very hard to talk about it at that moment.
