True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz) -
Chapter 779
Heinz looked at Lowell.
This kid had a pair of large clear eyes, which were exceedingly bright. However, judging by his behavior, he seemed to be intelligent.
When he took a closer look, he looked somewhat similar to Little Gary, who was not an honest child as well.
Heinz squinted a little and said, "I really don't mind feeding and raising an extra person here. It's just that, how are you going to persuade me? With your current behavior and what you have said, I think it will be difficult for me to agree to let you live here."
Hearing Heinz's words, disappointment flashed in Lowell's gaze, and followed by a deep sadness.
He looked at Heinz with his large eyes, then at Alice, and at the two children. His gaze swept around them one by one and finally fell on Heinz's face.
He thought for a while with hope in his gaze.
Perhaps, it was because he had been lonely for so long and had no one to play with, but he longed for living with a group of people together. It had always been just him all this while.
Lowell was a little upset. He looked at Heinz's indifferent face, which was as unfeeling as the devil's. It was as if he wouldn't even accept his relatives.
He lowered his tiny head and pursed his lips. He said, "I know you all don't want to take me in. In fact, I'm just trying my luck. I know that my mother doesn't want to take care of me. Perhaps, she wants to blackmail you by ditching me with you all, but I won't cooperate with her. I don't like her. She has always been self- conceited and has gotten used to it. I don't like her, but I can't fight against her."
"If I don't come to you, she will abandon me in a far-away place. I don't like to be alone. It's too lonely."
After that, he raised his head and looked at Heinz and Grace. It seemed that he knew that they were the decision-makers.
"But I know that I may not be able to convince you, because your gazes have already revealed that you don't like me. If you really can't bring yourselves to like me, then I'll leave," he said again. As he spoke, he turned around and walked out.
He was so tiny that his little back looked so lonely.
There was a sense of sympathy in Grace's gaze. She wanted to say something, but she couldn't.
At this time, the driver, who came along with Lowell, noticed Grace's countenance and said, "Miss Smith, Lowell is really pitiful. He usually goes to the supermarket alone to buy things. He can do anything. He can even step on the stool and make food for himself in the kitchen. I can't bear to see that. However, Madam Lowe doesn't care about him at all. I brought him here because she asked me to do so, but in my heart, I still hope that someone will take him in. Otherwise, it's too pitiful for him to stay alone everyday."
She pursed her lips and didn't say anything.
Heinz found an appropriate time and asked, "Why don't you adopt him?"
"I'm a bachelor too." The driver said awkwardly, "To be frank, I just got divorced. My wife was mad at me because I often bring Lowell with me. That was why she divorced me. Poverty consumes marriage. Our family situation is very embarrassing."
At this point, he didn't continue further.
Heinz ordered, "Somebody, investigate this driver's background please."
The butler ordered someone to arrange the investigation right away.
The driver smiled and laughed at himself very self-deprecatingly. He took out his ID card and handed it to Heinz, "I am an amateur driver hired by Madam Lowe. She hasn't paid me for several months. I work for a taxi company. You can check it out if you don't believe me."
After listening to the driver's words, Grace probably understood how chaotic Candace's life was. She seemed addicted to giving birth to children, but not raising them.
If Lowell was really the child Candace gave birth to, but had not taken care of, and he was even treated like this at such a young age.
How detestable she was!
Lowell had already gone farther. His lonely figure stirred their hearts.
Heinz said loudly, "Lowell, come back."
Lowell was shocked, and his tiny figure froze. He turned around abruptly and looked at Heinz.
"Come here," Heinz said in a low voice.
Lowell walked over and came to him again. He raised his tiny head to look at Heinz with an unconcealable hope in his gaze.
"Heinz, do you want me to stay?" He asked.
Heinz looked at him indifferently and replied, "Lowell, it's very easy if you want to stay. However, you have to go through the investigation and our test before you can stay. Otherwise, you absolutely can't." Lowell looked at him in confusion and asked, "What kind of test is needed?"
Heinz gave the butler a look and instructed, "Go and arrange for Lowell to live in the villa on the hill. Let the butler there observe him first while waiting for the investigation results."
"Yes," the butler nodded immediately.
Lowell was a little disappointed but was still content. He said, "Thank you for taking me in, Heinz. I will definitely pass the test. I want to live with you guys. There are so many people in your family, which is so lively."
Hearing this, Grace's heart ached. She turned her face away and her eyes glistened with tears.
No matter who Lowell was and whether he was indeed her younger brother or not, he wrung her withers when she heard his words.
"You'll take a ride to the hospital with Butler Holland now. Have a body check-up and then provide us with your blood sample. You must at least prove that you are Grace's younger brother. Do you think you car accept it?"
"Of course," Lowell nodded immediately.
At this time, Grace's phone rang.
She picked up the phone and saw it was Zachary who called.
She picked it up and asked, "Zachary?"
"Grace, I have something that I must tell you," his tone sounded a bit hesitant.
"Go ahead," she responded softly.
"Grace, after Aunt Candace left my place today, my mother asked me to arrange for someone to follow her. We found she had a child, and she arranged for a taxi driver to send the child to you. My men just reported the matter to me. I just learned of the situation."
She was shocked. "Are you sure it's her child?"
"Yes." Zachary answered, "That child calls Aunt Candace 'Mom', and he didn't show her a good attitude. It seems that he doesn't like her very much and both of them don't have a close relationship." Grace looked at Lowell in astonishment again.
Heinz also turned to look at her.
She held her mobile phone and replied softly, "Zachary, you are right. The child's name is Lowell Jones. He's at Heinz's place now. He came to us to seek shelter." "Grace, I'll come and pick him up." Zachary said, "And then replace out what's going on with him."
"It's fine." She was in a very low mood and said, "Heinz has arranged a butler to send Lowell to the hospital to obtain his blood sample. Let's talk about it later."
"Oh well." He replied, "Grace, don't worry. If you are in a dilemma, send him to me. My mother happens to be bored from being alone too."
She said, "Zachary, you should spend more time with Aunt Nerissa. Anyhow, we can't accept people of dubious background now."
"Alright."
After hanging up the phone, Grace noticed Lowell looking at her with his gaze full of hurt. He said in a low voice, "Grace, I'm not a person of dubious background. I'm your halfbrother. My name is Lowell and I was named after our mother's surname, Lowe. I know exactly where my roots are!"
