Mr. Jones Be Gentle (Grace) novel Chapter 1890

"How can you talk about your sister like that?" Heinz gasped at the possibility of what Gary said to be true, and he panicked.

If that was the case, Heinz would definitely not be able to stay out of it. That would mean that Sylvia had fallen for Mr. Trevino long ago.

Noticing the changes in Heinz's expression, Gary knew that his words had an effect on him.

He said faintly, "Why can't you just accept the fact that Sylvia was the one who made the first step? I'm sure Kendrix has a certain charm to attract your daughter too."

"The first step?" Heinz widened his eyes, stunned. "How could this be?"

"It's true. Judging by her initiative actions, I'm sure she likes him a lot," Gary said, "To be frank, I've never seen her like this with a guy."

Gary didn't tell Heinz that even a fool could tell her feelings for Kendrix.

Heinz frowned.

"I somehow pity her because I can tell she likes him a lot from the way she looked at him," Gary

said again.

"Are you sure about this?" Heinz was still in disbelief.

"I am not blind. Of course, I can tell," Gary sternly reminded, "You will only embarrass her if you go look for her now. Who knows? She might even go to the extreme if she feels humiliated to have you questioning the guy she fell for."

Grace's heart tightened a little after hearing what Gary said. She couldn't help worrying.

Although she knew Gary was only doing that to scare Heinz, she also knew that Gary was right about how Sylvia would react if she was embarrassed.

Of course, Heinz was not someone timid either.

Grace knew that there were some exaggerations in what Gary said, but those aside, she knew that he was not completely wrong.

After all, Sylvia was still a teenager who was first exposed to love and relationship. With her hormones still raging, she might really go to the extreme way if triggered.

It would lead to a tragedy if that really happened.

Thus, Heinz also hesitated upon hearing that.

He started pacing back and forth in the room as he was pondering upon it, and Gary found it amusing.

"Heinz," Gary called out, but Heinz immediately interrupted him.

"Call me dad."

Gary shrugged and said open- heartedly, "Fine. Dad."

Heinz looked at him with a calmer expression.

Gary said, "I really can't understand you. Why are you being unhappy when your daughter is falling in love with someone else?"

"She's only sixteen. How can I be happy about it?" Heinz said.

"Well, it proves that she's maturing at an early age," Gary said.

Heinz glanced at him again. "You'll know after you became a father. It's different in raising a son and a daughter."

Gary shrugged. "Dad, why would you say that? Let's not forget about Celeste. Who is Celeste to you then?"

Heinz was startled as he glanced at Celeste.

Celeste was also a little embarrassed as she twitched her lips.

"Celeste is also someone's daughter, isn't she?"

Gary asked.

Heinz glared at Gary. How could he talk about just anything in front of Celeste?

However, Heinz believed that Celeste could understand his point of view and thoughts as a father.

Heinz glanced at Gary and said, "Don't take advantage of this and deviate the topic. We are talking about Sylvia, not Celeste."

"Well, I can't help it that Celeste is not a troublemaker like Sylvia." Gary shrugged and smiled. "Dad, I think that you're overreacting. In fact, I believe all of us feel the same about your situation. Why don't you go see a psychologist?"

"Shut up," Heinz said in a low voice.

Gary chuckled. "You can go look for Kendrix if you really can't help it. Just don't make it too obvious. I've already made it obvious enough. If you do the same, what would he think of our family?"

"Gary has a point," Grace spotted the right time and agreed with him.

"Look, even mom agrees with me." Gary looked at Heinz.

Gary snorted. "Look at you. This is what you get for spoiling Sylvia."

Undoubtedly, those words hit the nail on Heinz's heart.

He pursed his lips and didn't know what to say.

"It's okay, Gary. She apologized to me actually, and it's all thanks to Kendrix who talked to her about it.

I do agree that he has a positive influence on her," Grace explained.

"Mom, you should stop spoiling her too. If this continues, her bad temper is exactly what's going to keep boys away from her," Gary argued, "If she continues to be so ignorant, it wouldn't do her any good."

"I think it's better this way," Grace said, "Otherwise, she will be stepped on all over and be neglected by her partner in the future. Anyway, let's just put this behind us."

Gary looked at her. He couldn't say anything then that Grace had put it that way.

"Forget it then," Gary said.

Heinz was clearly still upset even though he stopped insisting to look for Kendrix and Sylvia.

He looked a little restless to stay at home.

Gary got Celeste to head upstairs with Grace so that he could have some time alone with Heinz who was clearly feeling uneasy.

Soon, they were the only ones in the living room.

Gary looked at Heinz and gave him a mischievous smile.

Heinz frowned and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"That's because you look like a heartbroken old man," Gary teased.

"I'm not that old," Heinz corrected him.

"How are you not old when your children are slowly falling in love one after another?" Gary asked.

Heinz stopped responding.

Gary laughed after seeing that Heinz was defeated. He then changed the topic, "Stop feeling down. Why don't you talk with Sebastian later when he's home? He will definitely know more about Sylvia."
