Mr. Jones Be Gentle (Grace) novel Chapter 1310

The moment Heinz and Grace stepped into the house, they unconsciously glanced at Celeste's figure on the second floor.

The child stood by the window and looked like she was in a daze.

Grace was instantly worried. She lowered her voice and said to her husband, "Oh no, Celeste must have heard our conversation with Cindy just now."

Heinz glanced up and also found Celeste standing on the second floor. She looked as though she had been shocked to the core.

He glanced at Grace and comforted her, "Don't worry. Sooner or later we would've had to face her. It's fine if she saw that since it's better if she doesn't get her hopes up."

"But I'm worried that it'll affect the child's mental health," Grace was still very concerned.

"Then that's her fate," Heinz was not too worried. He looked at his wife and wrapped his arms around her waist, saying, "Honey, you should know that we are not exaggerating. Whatever we said was the truth. Even though I might have been mocking Cindy, she was the one who came intruding into our compound. We shouldn't bear any responsibility."

Grace nodded and answered, "Although I'm very worried about Celeste, you're right. I am just exasperated by the fact that Cindy doesn't even try to look for her."

"Who knows what that woman is thinking," Heinz muttered dryly.

Grace shrugged and looked at her husband's handsome face. He looked extremely good looking and it was just breathtaking. She sighed, "Cindy missed you so much. She hasn't forgotten you for over a decade. Look, she even bought a house because of you."

"That's her choice," Heinz didn't take it seriously.

"Didn't you say that you wanted to buy all of the neighboring houses? Why is Miss White a step faster than you?"

Heinz chuckled, "I've thought about it for a long time and allowed her to buy one. After she buys a house here, I'll have Maria and Ernest move to some other place. I've already asked Alex to look for a new place. This time, I'm going to buy six houses at once."

"Won't it cost you an arm and a leg?" Grace was stupefied. She blinked and stared at Heinz with admiration. When it came to scheming, no one could compare with him

If he did really manage to pull this off, he was just toying with Cindy.

Even the high-paying actors couldn't just afford to buy houses in London as they wished.

Heinz only allowed Cindy to buy a house here since it was not going to be easy for her to sell it later on.

Even if she were to sell it, she would be paying a huge sum of taxes. It was not easy for an actress to have so much money.

"Of course," Heinz snickered, "I haven't thought of anything else over the years except for doing business. Zachary will be the one to settle with the payment of the three houses."

"Haha!"

Grace couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Heinz was simply too cunning.

She realized that as the children gradually grew up, Heinz only grew more and more slick. That would definitely make things fun when they spent quality time together.

Heinz embraced her gently and entered the door. He whispered to her, "Are you happy now?"

Grace nodded and did not try to hide anything, admitting, "I'm really delighted. I haven't enjoyed myself like this for a very long time."

"Judging by Cindy's personality, there's no way she could bring up a child properly. See how introverted Celeste is! She must have been overwhelmed by Cindy's forcefulness all this while," Heinz said frankly, "In my opinion, let's just become her guardians."

"Is this what you have in mind?" Grace looked at him.

Heinz nodded and answered, "This idea just flashed into my mind seconds ago."

"I also have similar thoughts," Grace immediately became more excited and exclaimed, "Heinz, since we are already helping her out, I think we should do all we can for her. We should quickly become her guardians and prevent her further suffering."

"Why did you change your mind?" Heinz frowned slightly and looked at Grace in disbelief.

Grace shrugged and explained, "Initially, I didn't really want to become her guardian. However, after seeing how Cindy wasn't even anxious after Celeste had gone missing for so long, I think there's no point for Celeste to continue suffering whereby Cindy is her guardian." "Alright," Heinz nodded and agreed with his wife,

"Then we will be her guardian."

"Well, Celeste is an introverted child, but she has a great moral conscience. She doesn't harm other people and still wishes to repay Cindy for raising her. It's obvious that she is a very obedient and kind child. We can't just stand aside and not help her."

After taking a good look at her husband, Grace put down her hands.

Heinz sat on the edge of the bed. He looked up and let her lean on him.

Grace answered seriously, "We won't be making a mistake. Celeste has been forced into a corner. The important thing now is to let the child continue her studies. We are not wishing for her to repay us, so it won't be a mistake."

Heinz nodded, "True. Most of the time, the people who wish to be repaid will often be disappointed. On the contrary, those who don't wish to be repaid are the ones who will have a long and sustainable relationship."

The two came to a consensus.

"But now that I think about it, Cindy has been raising the child for so many years. It's a little unkind of us to just cut them off," Grace was still hesitant.

Heinz shook his head and laughed, "What's there to worry about? She gave up on her own accord. Who's to blame for that?"

"Don't you think we're too forceful?" Grace asked again.

"We're not only forceful. We're literally robbing them," Heinz announced domineeringly, "Don't worry, I'm in charge of everything."

"Haha!" Grace laughed again. She stared at Heinz blinking innocently and felt amused. The twinkle in his eyes was so dazzling that she couldn't help but cup his face, smiling, "Alright, let's steal from her like pirates."

"I think she'll soon regret showing up in front of us with the claims that she misses me," Heinz chuckled and said sarcastically, "She deserves everything that is coming for her."

Grace smirked. Looking at her husband, she felt very amused and complimented him, "You are so funny."

Heinz raised an eyebrow at his wife, saying, "I guess we're a match made in heaven?" "Of course," Grace looked at him and giggled, "You are the most domineering person I've ever seen. I am so proud of you."

Heinz glanced at his wife and complained, "You haven't praised me for a long time. I'm a little embarrassed to be praised by you so suddenly."

The corner of Grace's mouth twitched as she shot back, "Don't be so childish."

Heinz stared at his wife deeply, a meaningful light forming in his gaze. He snickered, "Well then, let's drop all the childish thoughts. Why don't we do something made for adults?"
