True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz)
Chapter 990

Grace returned to her room to freshen up. Not long after that, her phone rang.

She checked her phone and realised it was a phone call from Miss Holland, the kindergarten teacher.

She felt her heart skip a beat as she answered her phone with a slightly frightened tone, "Miss Holland?" "It's been a long time, Mrs. Smith," Miss Holland sounded calm as usual.

Grace felt slightly more relieved as she was worried that her children had misbehaved at the kindergarten.

"Yes, it's been a long time, Miss Holland."

"Mrs. Smith, I've been wanting to meet you face to face to talk about Little Gary for some time already, but I haven't gotten the chance to do so yet. Thus, I hope you wouldn't mind me giving you a call for a quick update on his latest situation."

"Be my guest, Miss Holland!" Grace quickly said, "You can be straightforward with me. Has Little

Gary been misbehaving?"

She couldn't help but feel nervous, as Little Gary rarely caused problems for her in the past. Hence, she wondered in disbelief the moment she received Miss Holland's phone call and asked, "Has Little Gary really been causing any problems?"

"No, didn't Little Gary and Ernest just resume schooling? When they were out of kindergarten, a beautiful yet introverted little girl, who comes from a single family, transferred over. I'm not sure what's going on with Little Gary, but he's always teasing her, and he ends up making her cry."

"What?" Grace was shocked, "You mean he has been bullying that little girl?"

"I wouldn't necessarily define it as bullying. I'm guessing that he might have a crush on this little girl, and thus tried to attract her attention. However, as her family situation is a little complicated, she might be insecure and subsequently became more withdrawn and introverted. Perhaps, she feels overwhelmed whenever Little Gary teases her, which is why she ends up crying."

Grace was inexperienced with this sort of situation, she responded worriedly, "Alright, I'll meet you to discuss this when I send him to school tomorrow morning. Meanwhile, I'll also ask him to stop bullying that little girl."

"No!" Miss Holland immediately said, "It wouldn't be wise to order him around. Little Gary is very opinionated, so he might not take it well if you try to discipline him this way. Smarter kids often have their own ideas in mind."

"Alright, thanks for your reminder, Miss Holland," Grace immediately saw where she was coming from. "Then I'll see you tomorrow and talk about it."

"Sure, good night."

Miss Holland quickly ended the phone call.

Grace also placed her phone on the bedside table.

She realized that her hair was still wet from her shower, and as soon as she grabbed the towel to dry her hair, a hand reached out from behind her to help her with it.

"Who was it? Was it so urgent that you couldn't even dry your hair first?" Heinz asked in a concerned manner.

"It was Miss Holland. She told me that Little Gary has been bullying a little girl who just transferred over. She comes from a single-family and is quite introverted, and he always bullied her to the point she would cry. Oh wait, Miss Holland said it shouldn't be defined as a bullying case, but to me, it somewhat sounds like one."

She complained about the situation.

Heinz was startled for a while before bursting into laughter, "It looks like that's the same little girl as the one mentioned in their conversation just now. You know, the one that they were planning to introduce to Lowell."

That's when Grace finally came to her senses. She immediately turned around and stared at him skeptically, feeling doubtful.

She frowned, "Heinz, do you think that this child would start having puppy love just as you did?"

His smiling eyes froze suddenly.

He looked at her in embarrassment, "Don't be silly. Since when did I have any puppy love?"

"Didn't you and Jodie have puppy love in the past?"

He sighed helplessly, "I was already an adult the moment I got together with Jodie, and I've never had any puppy love. In contrast, weren't you underaged when you had a thing with Simon?" Upon realizing the tinge of jealousy in both their accusations, they felt astounded and awkward, so they both laughed it off.

She said, "Fine, I admit that was pretty pointless."

"Of all things, why did I decide to bring that up?"

She secretly thought to herself.

He smiled as he dried her hair, then hugged her waist amorously, letting her rest her head on his chest.

She still felt anxious about it.

"Heinz, do you think Little Gary keeps on bullying that little girl because he really has a crush on her?"

"Why don't we invite that little girl to our house tomorrow?" He thought about it and suggested, "Didn't Little Gary mention inviting her over so that they could introduce her to Lowell? I was thinking we could just invite her and a few other friends over tomorrow. That way, they can make new friends and also us taking the opportunity to observe how Little Gary is like when she's around."

"Are you sure?" She was hesitant, "Will they even want to come over?"

"I doubt most people would decline such invitations," he responded, "I mean, come on, I'm Heinz. There are so many people out there who look forward to befriending me. It shouldn't be an issue to invite them over for a meal."

"Alright, I'll ask Little Gary and Ernest to invite some of their good friends over then."

"Okay," he nodded.

"Then I'll go and see them now." She changed into her home attire and said, "Let's have dinner now.

Lowell hasn't eaten anything yet."

"Okay."

Soon, Grace arrived in front of Lowell's room to replace that his door was left opened. She noticed he had already showered as he sat by the window.

Little Gary and Ernest stood in front of him and took turns to lecture him.

"Lowell, we've said all that we could ever say. We're sorry for your loss. It's heartbreaking that you lost your mom when you're so young, but there's nothing we can do about it. After all, your mom was old. Illnesses and deaths are all parts of human nature that we're powerless against."

"What he said is true, Uncle Lowell," Ernest nodded in agreement, "Don't worry though, you still have us. Little Gary and I will be your best friends, and our parents will take care of you as well. In fact, we all care for you deeply. Although you've lost your mom, you still have our friendship and kinship, so you won't be losing out on anything."

"Of course he won't be missing out on anything. His mom never made much of a difference in his life anyway," Little Gary added, "Lowell, I'm not gonna say anything else. You should ask yourself if that mom o yours ever performed any motherly duties at all?"

Lowell looked at them nonchalantly, "I understand.

You guys don't have to talk about it anymore, I'll eventually be fine."

Little Gary glanced at him again and sighed, "Then let's have dinner now. Don't make my mom overly worried. Don't forget that she's pregnant. You wouldn't want her to get so stressed to the point her baby is hurt either, right?"
