Heinz hugged her tightly, but her body remained stiff.

Grace had already pulled herself out of his arms. She then looked up at him with tears in her eyes.

Heinz looked back at her with guilt in his eyes. His black eyes were full of apologies. He looked straight at her, struggling a little on the inside.

"Grace." Heinz continued, "Your mother left me a suicide letter. I want to show it to you."

As he spoke, he took out the letter and handed it to Grace.

Grace was stunned. Her face was a little pale, and her hands were trembling. She accepted the thick stack of papers from Heinz.

"I suggest that you head back to the room and take a look. I'm going to take a shower and change into a fresh set of clothes," he said gently though there was a hint of restraint in his voice.

Grace nodded.

Heinz patted her on the shoulder, then made his way to the bedroom.

Grace held the letter in her hands as she watched

Heinz's tall figure disappear into the room.

Her face became even paler.

Heinz seemed to still be in a bad mood as he left without saying anything else.

Grace held the letter and followed him into the room.

As soon as she entered the room, she realized that Heinz had already entered the bathroom. Soon, she could hear the sound of running water in the bathroom.

Grace sat on the bed and opened the letter. Then, she began to read its contents.

The more she read, the more shocked she was. She realized that her mother was very cunning. She actually made use of the people around her.

She made use of Lawrence, Timothy, and even Heinz. What was even more ironic was that although she said that she loved Lawrence, this letter was actually written for Lawrence. She had planned everything for Lawrence.

Although she also asked Heinz to take care of Lawrence, Grace still doubted her words. Actually, the only reason she wanted him to take care of Lawrence was because she wanted him to pay off Lawrence's debt.

As for Grace herself, even after her mother died, Grace was still being used as a pawn.

She felt very sad.

Grace sat on the bed and hugged her knees. Her eyes were empty.

The reason Heinz was so depressed was probably because he had read the letter. In addition to that, he also saw the way his father reacted when he read his part of the letter. Heinz must have felt that it was unfair to his mother, and that was why he decided to visit her grave.

Grace felt extremely upset at the thought of this. How could it be like this?

She took a deep breath, but she did not have any strength at all.

At that time, the bathroom door opened.

Heinz emerged from the bathroom and was clad in a bathrobe.

As soon as he looked up, he was met with Grace sitting on the bed as she hugged her knees. She did not even look up to meet his eyes. She just sat on the bed. She looked very pitiful.

For a few seconds, Heinz's eyebrows twitched. He looked at Grace again and narrowed his eyes.

"Grace?"

He said.

Grace neither moved nor did she make any sound.

She looked at the wall without looking at Heinz.

Heinz walked over to the bed and sat down beside her. After observing the woman in front of him, he then looked down at the bed and saw the last page of the letter.

It seemed like Grace had finished reading the contents of the letter.

Heinz understood her feelings.

He said softly, "I initially did not plan on showing you the letter, but at the same time, I feel that I should not hide this letter from you. I'm sure you understand everything now that you've finished reading the letter. Your mother loves you very much."

"No, Heinz." She shook her head without looking at Heinz. She cried in a low voice and sobbed, "She doesn't love me. She loves your father. She used me. I am just her pawn. She took advantage of your feelings for me in order to achieve her goal. She was scheming. At the very end, she took advantage of us. She was ruthless."

Heinz was stunned and heaved a long sigh.

Grace did not say anything else.

Her head was facing the wall of the room.

Heinz sighed again. At that moment, he felt very helpless.

"I thought you wouldn't be able to see through it, but you saw it with just a glance."

The person that Candace loved the most was Lawrence. His own father. It wasn't Grace, Alice or even Lowell.

However, Heinz did not want Grace to know Candace's evil intentions, so he would rather believe that on the surface, that Candace actually loved Grace. He also hoped that Grace would believe this. That way they would be numb to each other and believed that maternal love was great.

However, Grace could see through it.

He did not want to hide anything either.

"I also suspect that she was using us." Heinz looked at Grace with an unconcealed bitterness on his handsome face.

Grace suddenly turned her head, her eyes filled with tears and humiliation. She looked into Heinz's bitter eyes and opened her mouth to say something, but nothing came out.

When Heinz saw her tear-stained face, his heart began to ache.

He raised his hand and gently wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes.

Grace blinked and reached out to wipe the tears from her face as she said, "Your father must have been very excited when he read her letter, right?" "Yes." Heinz slightly curled his thin lips and chuckled. "All he cares about is love."

"So you felt that it was unfair for your mother, and that was why you went to the cemetery?" Grace asked softly. "You felt very depressed because you found out that your father loves my mother. You have no idea how to face me."

"I..." Heinz pursed his lips and nodded frankly in the end. "Yes, at that moment, I was very upset. I also realized that your mother used us as pawns. Although I am a little reluctant, in the end, I still comforted myself and decided to pay off his debts. I don't want to feel any regret when he dies."

"We are not people who would sever ties with our family nor are we as ruthless as them." Grace laughed at herself. "We have a guilty conscience, unlike them. That is why we will suffer when they won't." Heinz looked down at her with his thin lips curved into a smile. He reached out and pulled her into his arms.

Grace's cheeks were pressed against his strong chest.

"Let's not think about it anymore. We'll just do our part and make sure our conscience is clear. Basically, now, everything is over. Your mother has passed on and my father doesn't even have much time left in this world," Heinz said. "I feel that it's a little unfair to my mother because my father has never felt that way about her before. I feel that my mother had suffered a lot in her lifetime, but it's also her own choice." Grace remained silent. She understood that the sorrow of unrequited love was destined to end in tragedy.

"My mother chose this path for herself, so she should be responsible for the outcome," Heinz said. He seemed a little calmer than before. He gently patted her on the shoulder. "Their grievances will eventually disappear. We'll just live our own lives. Come on, get up! Come with me to grab some food."

He picked her up and got out of bed.

He gently wrapped his arms around her body and looked down at her calmly.

Grace looked up at him and gazed into his deep eyes. She felt relaxed in his arms. However, her stomach suddenly started to growl.

"Oh!" Grace whispered in a low voice, "I'm a little hungry as well."

"Did you not have dinner?"

"I ate a little."

Heinz narrowed his eyes slightly and paused for a moment." Was it because of me?"
