Mr. Jones Be Gentle (Grace) novel Chapter 1039

Heinz was taken aback seeing Lawrence slumped onto the floor without any concern about whether it is clean.

He wasn't feeling good. He used to respect and look up to his father, but now, his father was just in such desolation that he could even simply sit on the floor.

He was deeply surprised.

He didn't know how to react, so he only stared at his father.

Lawrence was tired and his face showed it. He gave himself a self-deprecating smile and looked at his son.

"These days I am being chased continuously. Thank God the hotel is safe, but I didn't have the money."

"Aren't you the one who's full of glory?" Heinz said sarcastically.

"Yes," Lawrence smiled bitterly. "I used to think so, but you see, I was too immature at that time."

"I can't see how mature you are now," Heinz retorted scornfully. "You're just someone who doesn't know how to learn from his mistakes." "Yes," Lawrence smiled but somehow he looked lonely. "I am not very mature now. You are right. I have never been a very sensible person."

"You are always a person who does things without caring about other people," Heinz shouted mercilessly, "Don't try and make yourself look good. You're just an immature adult."

Saying that, he realized that he was also immature to be nitpicking with such a loser.

He turned his face and looked at the sky.

Lawrence did not respond. Perhaps he was speechless, or perhaps he felt that his son's words were very ironic.

He just sat there and did not move for a long time.

After a long silence, Heinz looked at him again and turned to leave.

"Wait a moment," Lawrence called out.

Heinz stopped but did not turn around. He just stood there calmly.

Lawrence said carefully behind him, "I went and visited your mother."

Heinz's whole body froze, and he became tense.

"I didn't want to go before because I didn't have the courage to do so," Lawrence's voice came slowly. "I'm sorry for everything that happened between your mother and I. I don't have the right to visit her but I know that I can't run away from my mistakes."

"Hmph!" Heinz jeered coldly and said indifferently, "You're really shameless seeing how you can visit my mother."

"I dreamt of your mother," Lawrence said again, "Heinz, have you ever thought, what if your mother didn't intend to blame me at all?"

"Huh," Heinz laughed coldly. There was a trace of desolation gleaming across his eyes. "You're saying that my mother visited you in your dream, asking you not to blame yourself, and wanting me to let go of everything?"

"I don't mean that." Lawrence immediately shook his head.

"You still want to lie?"

"No. I just want you to pay my debt. I don't want to take advantage of you."

"Don't say that as if you've never taken advantage of anyone," Heinz growled. "I can see through your facade. Stop trying to win me over."

Saying that, he left again.

Lawrence didn't chase after him nor did he say anything else.

He just sat on the steps and was speechless for a long time. He watched Heinz's car drive away quietly. He looked extremely lonely sitting on the pavement all alone.

After a long while, he let out a sigh.

He picked up his phone and recorded a video, wanting to send it to Heinz. The moment he wanted to click send, Lester's fingers dropped away from the button.

He knew that things weren't easy for President Jones these few years, He also understood the difficulties and rifts between the president and his father.

Therefore, he did not send this video.

Nor did he get down to help Lawrence.

After some hesitation, he called Grace.

"Madam Grace, I'm Lester. There's something I want to talk to you about first before telling President Jones."

Grace's heart pumped hearing his words. "Just tell me"

"I'll send you a video. After you watch it, just tell me if I should send it to President Jones."

"Alright."

After hanging up the phone, Grace received a video from Lester.

She was surprised to see how Lawrence acted in the video.

He looked as if there was nothing in life worth living for.

He used to be arrogant and restrained, but now, he was just an old man.

An old man who had aged so much more than his real age.

Just glancing at the video made her feel uncomfortable.
