Mr. Jones Be Gentle (Grace) novel Chapter 406

Grace was stunned momentarily. She opened her mouth but no words came out.

What should she say?

Alice looked at her, surprised, "Grace?"

Grace suddenly came to her senses and smiled.

Suddenly, Heinz's voice came from outside, "What are you two talking about? Hurry up and get us some food."

Grace turned to look at Heinz and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Perfect timing," Grace thought to herself.

She picked up the food and passed them to Heinz. "Take these out. Let's eat."

"Are you two having some girl talk?" Heinz suddenly realized something. "It seems that I came at the wrong time."

"Too late for that," Alice rolled her eyes at him. "I don't know how you became the head of a company. You couldn't even read the room." Then, she left the kitchen with the dishes.

Heinz gaped helplessly at her before looking at Grace.

"Don't argue with her, for my sake," Grace laughed. "You came in at the right time. Otherwise, I wouldn't have known how to answer her." "I won't." Heinz's heart immediately softened. "Alice is very protective of you."

"We're close," Grace said, "She will accept you eventually, Little Gary, too. Can't you see that they had actually accepted you? It's just a matter of pride."

Heinz went black for a moment. Suddenly, as if he finally understood something, he let out a laugh.

"What you said makes sense," he said.

Grace laughed too.

"So, what were you two talking about just now?" Heinz asked her.

"It's a secret," Grace said with a wink. "Come on, let's eat."

It had been a close call. She would have to be more careful with her words next time.

With the addition of Alice and Jensen, the dinner was livelier.

Everyone sat around the dining table and the atmosphere was warm.

Alice made eye contact with Heinz several times. Although she was still not very friendly, it was obviously much better than before.

Alice also stole glances at Grace and Jensen.

Somehow, she felt that something was amiss

After dinner, Alice left with Jensen. On the way back, Alice asked him straightaway, "Are you and Grace keeping a secret from me?"

As a police officer, Jensen naturally had a calm temperament.

He tightened his grip on the steering wheel and took a glimpse at Alice calmly. "Why are you asking that?"

"I could just sense that you two seem to have a secret," Alice frowned and said.

"What makes you think so?" he asked, smiling. "She will probably be my sister-in-law in the future. What kind of secret can I share with my sister-in-law?"

"It's just weird," Alice said. "That's what I think."

"You're too sensitive."

"Maybe."

"What did you talk about in the kitchen?" Jensen asked, acting inadvertent.

Alice thought for a moment and replied, "We talked about Ernest."

Jensen was startled. There was a flash across his eyes. "Speaking of secret, that's indeed a secret, about the identity of Ernest."

Alice suddenly laughed. "That's it? The secret that Grace knows but I don't."

"Ernest is not Heinz's biological child. I found him during a crackdown operation on an illegal child trafficking scheme. Nobody took him in, and Heinz decided to adopt him after seeing him only once."

"He decided to adopt Ernest after their first meeting?" Alice was very surprised. "Is he such a kind person?"

"Of course." Jensen smiled and said, "Heinz has a kind heart. It's just that he has a bad temper. Apart from that, he is overall a decent man. Otherwise, I wouldn't have agreed to be his brother for life."

She abruptly turned around and said, "It's... it's time for you to leave."

Jensen hugged her from behind and said softly, "Alice, you don't have to feel sorry. And also, I am not a man who only wants your body. My love for you is not that supercifical. I am a responsible man."

She pursed her lips and nodded.

Jensen couldn't help worrying, Alice had almost seen through him that day.

It seemed that he had to put more effort in keeping the secret.

Moreover, it was time to move on to the next level with her.

"But Jensen." Alice was still not that reassured. "I'm a bit worried. If I really couldn't make it, it'll be too unfair to you."

"I have a way. It won't fail you," he said.

"What's that?" Alice suddenly turned around and looked at him, her face full of curiosity. "Hurry up and tell me. Let's try!"

"Medication," Jensen said. "Sedatives."

"Huh?"

"I know, you are terrified of the pain." After thinking for a while, he added, "If you take some sedatives, you might be able to get through this."

Alice was shocked by his suggestion.

"Then what are you waiting for?" she asked.

"I think it's better that we only do this as a last resort. If we work hard and have our hearts close together, we could break through this. I don't want us to be controlled by medication."

Smiling, Alice said, "Thank you, Jensen. Go now, I'll wait for you."

He nodded, "Go to bed first. Don't wait for me."

However, as soon as Jensen left, Alice immediately went downstairs.

She walked toward the pharmacy.
