Mr. Jones Be Gentle (Grace) novel Chapter 1241

Gary was taken aback by the question. He quickly rolled his eyes around and said, "Mommy, I was just kidding. You don't have to take it to heart. We're only 16; there's only so much we know about relationships."

He stopped in time and knew how to avoid her questions properly. Grace stared at her son, and for the first time, she truly felt that her son had grown up; he had secrets he wished to keep to himself.

And he knew to keep it from her.

She couldn't help but ponder on whether she had been overly focused on her two younger children and ended up neglecting her eldest son. Perhaps, that was why he no longer wished to share his secrets with her.

Grace sighed in her heart and looked at him with gentle eyes. "Gary, can we talk about why you are so insistent on studying abroad in a different country from Ernest? Considering how the both of you only reunited when you were five, I'm actually hoping that you could leave together."

Gary looked at his mother and asked, "Mommy, are you worried about me or Ernest not being able to get used to living overseas?"

Grace was shocked, "I'm worried about the both of you."

"Mommy, although we're twins, we're still individuals," Gary reiterated once again, "I hope that you can respect our choices. After all, we are the ones in charge of our own lives in the future. My life won't intersect with Ernest's and vice versa, so we will have to deal with it on our own."

Grace was about to say something, but Gary spoke again, "Just like how you and Little Aunt both have your own lives. Little Aunt left you to run the Sunny Group, and she has been doing well, not to mention how she also has a happy family with two children."

"Gary," Grace said with a serious tone, "I can see where you are coming from, but don't you think your decision might be a little rash? Considering how you made this decision because of a girl?"

Gary looked as if he was caught off guard, "Mommy, who told you this was due to a girl?"

"I can tell," Grace answered, "Don't try to hide it. Gary, you know that I trust you and Ernest, which is why I think that there is no reason for both of you to separate. Life is a long journey in which love and relationships could change anytime."

"Mommy, let Ernest and Celeste go to England together." Gary spoke seriously, "I'm really fine with it. You don't have to worry about me."

"Gary, what I meant was for the both of you to not separate from one another."

"Mommy, am I the one who is studying abroad, or you?"

Grace didn't know how to respond to that.

She knew that she couldn't force things to go her way.

At first, she didn't care, but now she suddenly felt concerned about it.

Who would have thought that Celeste would appear in this whole saga?

It seemed like Gary had already made up his mind, but what about Ernest?

"Mommy, I want to be alone for now. Why don't you go and work on other things? You don't have to worry about me."

After being ordered to leave by her son, Grace felt helpless at how he wouldn't obey her upon growing up.

She nodded. Even though she wanted to talk more about it, she still left his room quickly.

She gave him space to contemplate.

Grace was speechless, "Aren't you practicing a double standard by treating your own daughter so well while you don't give a d*mn about other people's daughters?"

Heinz chuckled and nodded, "Those are the daughters of others, but their fathers may not be as qualified as I am."

"How arrogant," Grace's mind felt even more cluttered now, "Fine, there's no point in talking about this with you. I'm going to see Alice."

It seemed that she had to talk about this with Alice. Otherwise, she was going to be stressed to death. If not, she could also talk to Yvonne.

"Alice is very busy, so you'd better not bother her." Heinz said, "I've told you to leave them alone already. No matter what happens, it's all up to them. They should be the ones making their own decisions."

"Why are you saying the same thing as Gary?"

"You see, you're not as understanding as your son." Heinz said, "They're only 16, so they won't really fall in love yet. If they do, it's all just their hormones, so all these feelings may not last at all. You shouldn't start worrying about this when nothing has even happened yet."

Grace also understood that she was overly worried about it, but ultimately these concerned her children. How could she not worry as a mother?

Before they could settle this matter, they learned that Gary had booked his flight ticket to leave for the United States in three days.

Grace realized how self-reliant Gary really was, as well as how he had reached the age where he wanted to be independent.

When Ernest came home, Grace asked him, "Your brother has booked his flight ticket to leave in three days. What about you, Ernest? Do you still plan to head to England?"
