"It's hard to say." Jensen could not decide on this matter with Grace and Heinz, so he analyzed them in general. "Your sister is now in a fight with Heinz. Maybe she has her own reasons."

"Is it worth arguing over what happened in the past?" Alice was irritated. "Isn't it already over? Why the argument? My sister doesn't seem to be the kind of person who would not let go of the past." Deep down in Jensen's heart, he knew what was going on, but he couldn't tell Alice, so he was also very hesitant.

"Until your sister is willing to talk to you, we'll speak nothing about it again," Jensen said. "Don't even bother asking her. She doesn't want to talk about it now either."

Alice was anxious. "But I don't want to go. My sister is back so I will take care of her."

"Think about it, your sister has to calm her nerves now, but she has nowhere to go. She definitely doesn't want to go back to Heinz's. If you tell her you are going back to the Hart Villa District with me now, maybe she would come back. Then, we would be more comfortable knowing that she is here."

Alice nodded.

What Jensen said was making sense to her.

"Alright." Alice was still easily convinced by Jensen. "I will go with you to Hart Villa District, but Jensen, I want you to change the door password. I really do not want to come out of the bathroom one day and see two elders looking at me. That feeling and the situation is going to be awkward and embarrassing."

"I know." Jensen said, "We'll change the password of the lock when we get back."

"Alright."

"It's getting late. Let's hurry up, pack up and go back to Hart Villa District."

"Sure!"

They quickly cleaned up, grabbed their clothes and daily necessities, and went to Hart Villa District.

Alice was filled with relief when Jensen finally changed the password of the door lock.

As soon as they entered the door, Jensen received a call from his mother, Rosalie.

"Jensen, why haven't you come yet?" Rosalie hadn't seen her son since that morning. "I haven't eaten yet. Are you trying to starve me to death?"

Jensen frowned. "You didn't eat?"

"No, I did not."

"Didn't Aunt send you food?" Jensen asked.

"Nope."

"Then call Dad." Jensen said, "Ask him to bring you food."

"You don't care about me. Are you with that woman?" Rosalie asked rudely.

Jensen narrowed his eyes in an instant and said coldly, "Yes, I'm with her. I've also changed the door password here in Hart Villa District. I'm informing you now. Don't drop by casually."

Rosalie barked. "Do you think we can't control you?"

"That's enough, Mom." Jensen hung up the phone.

Alice tensed up when she heard the conversation between Jensen and his mother.

As soon as Jensen turned his head and saw Alice's expression, he was stunned. He felt very sorry for her.

"Don't be afraid," he said.

Alice nodded with mixed feelings in her heart.

"Why won't your mother accept me?" Alice whispered awkwardly, "Just because she saw me taking a bath when she came, she thought that I slept with you like a loose woman, so she can't accept me?" Jensen shook his head and said, "Don't say that."

The phrase "loose woman" was too much.

Jensen's heart ached.

Alice became silent, not knowing what to say.

Jensen reached out and placed his arm around her shoulders. Looking at her red eyes, he whispered softly, "Alice, it's my fault. I can't make all the pressure disappear and I did not give you my best."

"It's not your fault." Alice shook her head. She was still being rational so she would not vent her anger on Jensen. "Maybe it's fate. I haven't built up my relationship with your mother. I will try my best. I hope she will change her mind."

"We can work hard together."

"Yes."

Putting down the luggage, Jensen said, "I'll get something for you to eat. I have work to do and I need to review some cases. I'll pick you up at 4:30 p.m." "Sure." Alice nodded. "Go ahead." "Then, I'll leave now." Jensen quickly left.

Alice stood at the door and watched as his tall figure disappeared into the elevator. She saw the lights in the elevator envelope him, outlining his figure and making him look tall, strong and dependable.

She looked at him and waved her hand.

The elevator door closed.

Jensen had left.

Alice closed the door and immediately called Grace.

She didn't answer the phone.

Alice had no choice but to send her a message.

"Grace, I'm in Hart Villa District. I moved back with Jensen, so I won't be going back to Emerald Apartment for a while. I've thought about it, and I think it would be better for me to continue my relationship with Jensen. I also want to work hard on my relationship, even if the results may not be what I want them to be. I've worked hard before and I won't regret it."

This message encompassed the situation in detail, but she also expressed euphemistically to Grace that she would not be going back to her apartment for a while.

Alice didn't know whether her sister would understand her message, but she had said what had to be said.

Grace was sitting on a bench outside the park when she received the message. She was basking in the sun and the diamond ring on her slender finger shone brightly.

The light refracted from her diamond ring irritated her eyes, so she took off the diamond ring and held it on her palm.

Looking at the diamond ring, she only felt irony.

The night before was full of kisses and cuddles. But that day, it felt like she was getting slapped across the face at the Civil Affairs Bureau.

This made her feel that her life was always full of drama.

"Getting married?"

He was already married and he wouldn't be able to resolve it in such a short time.

What should she do now?

As the phone rang, she saw the message from Alice. She felt warmth in her heart. Her sister must have felt something was amiss and wanted to give her space, so Alice decided to move out. Grace's eyes became blurry, as if mist was covering her eyes. She wiped her face.

She was about to call Alice, but unexpectedly, Heinz called her.

She paused. After hesitating for a while, she answered the phone.

"Where are you?" Heinz's deep masculine voice came from the other side of the line. It was full of harshness and it was a little hoarse. "I want to meet up with you."

"I'm outside," Grace said. "I'm fine. You don't have to worry about me."

"Grace."

"I know you're worried about me." Grace added, "I'm really fine. We need to calm down, Heinz."

She didn't know how to face Heinz, and she only felt awkward at the moment.

She was almost married to the man. Although she knew that the woman was gone, other people, including the people at the Civil Affairs Bureau, looked at her with disdain. She couldn't stand how other people looked at her in a strange way. It was discomforting.

She was very sad, and depressed to the point that she felt like dying.

"Grace." Heinz didn't want to hang up the phone. He wanted to talk to Grace. He didn't want to be unable to see her or hear her voice. He would go crazy.
