True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz)

Chapter 2241

After sending off Claudia, Sylvia took the small path back home on her own as she looked at the windows. Suddenly, she felt as if there was a figure by Sebastian's window, and she wasn't sure if it was her illusion.

She was shocked, and her eyes lit up in an instant.

Was he hiding and watching Claudia leave? After a brief pause, she chuckled when the thought came to her mind.

If that was the case, it meant Claudia stood a chance with Sebastian and that he wasn't as indifferent as he tried to be.

It must mean something if he was trying to conceal his concern for Claudia.

There must be something that was holding him back.

Sylvia shrugged and headed back inside. When she entered, Heinz and Grace were still downstairs.

"Did you see Claudia off?" Grace asked after seeing her daughter.

Sylvia nodded and said, "She left. Mom, can I go over to her home to celebrate her moving in tomorrow?"

"How long will you be there for? School is starting soon. Will you be able to keep up?" Grace was still a little worried. After all, Sylvia was a high school student, so her studies were more important.

Hearing that, Sylvia laughed. She walked up to Grace, sat down beside her, and said, "Mom, you don't seem confident in my grades, do you?" Grace also burst into laughter and nodded. "Although it was easy for you to get first place for the first time, I still think that luck might have played a part in it. Your foundation is still not firm enough, and you have to work harder on your basics."

"Don't worry, mom. I know what I'm doing." Sylvia promised, sounding serious.

Heinz frowned and said, "Are you going to celebrate her moving in or are you taking this opportunity to do something else?"

Hearing that, Sylvia blushed, feeling guilty.

She did intend to go over for something else.

Hence her discomfort when Heinz exposed her.

"Dad, what do you mean? I don't quite understand." Sylvia chuckled and played dumb.

Looking at his daughter's face, Heinz could tell that she was feeling guilty.

Forget it.

He couldn't keep her forever as she would grow up and fall in love eventually.

He still sighed as he looked at Grace's belly, hoping that the twins would grow up well and obediently. He had pinned all his hopes on them even though they were not born yet.

"You know it yourself. I don't think I have to nag you on this." Heinz stood up and said to Grace, "Let's go, honey. I'll help you upstairs."

"Dad, why do you sound so pitiful suddenly?"

Such an atmosphere made even Sylvia feel a little uncomfortable.

She quickly helped Grace up, saying, "Mom, I'll help you."

"All right, enough with the flattery. Your mother has me," he said as he looked at her with a stern look that could make one's heart shiver. "Dad, I'll help you support Mom." Sylvia of course would not back away just because of his words.

Therefore, she did not let go of her mother's hand.

Heinz stared deeply at his daughter again. Although he did not say anything, there was no displeasure in his eyes either.

Seeing that her father's expression seemed to have softened a little, Sylvia finally heaved a sigh of relief.

She knew that he was sharp and perceptive, but she didn't expect him to be that good at seeing through her thoughts.

If he did not decide to be kind to her then, she would have to confess everything.

Well, it was only a possibility as she wouldn't confess just anything.

She was not a coward.

"Sylvia, you can go out tomorrow, but don't come back too late. There's a bottom line to everything you do, so remember that, especially when you're a girl." reminded Heinz in a cold tone. Hearing how cold his tone was, Sylvia immediately nodded.

She said, "Dad, I know. Don't worry. I will protect myself at all times."

She hoped that her promise could make him feel at ease.

Heinz narrowed his eyes and said in a cold and slightly mocking tone, "If you really know what's good for you, you wouldn't have wanted to go to Grace's house to celebrate her moving in when school is reopening. What's more, we just had her over today."

She froze, and her hand that was holding her mother's arm tightened.

Grace looked at her and then looked at him calmly. It was as if she was warning him not to say anymore.

She hoped that he would stop talking and that she could save Sylvia's pride.

Heinz pursed his thin lips.

"Dad, you can just tell me if you don't want me to go." Sylvia protested.

Since he didn't want her to go out, why did he say so much earlier?

"Yes, now you know, huh?" Heinz looked at his daughter unhappily.

He didn't like how she was acting then.

It was as if she was already a wild soul.

It seemed like she wouldn't be coming home often anymore.

Sylvia was unhappy to hear that he didn't want her to go out.

She immediately looked at Grace, begging her coyly as she shook her arm like a spoiled child. "Mom, did you hear what dad said? He is being too strict on me by taking away my freedom."

"Your father did it for your own good," Grace said softly, "I also think that there's no need to go over."

Hearing that she couldn't go out, Sylvia pouted, looking disheartened.

Grace had been her age before, so she knew what Sylvia was thinking.

However, she felt that Sylvia should be more rational and have some self-control as a young lady.

It was also the reason Grace was unwilling to grant Sylvia permission.

That was because it seemed like Sylvia just couldn't stop her urges to see Kendrix then.

Also, if they were not going at the right pace, their relationship might end up getting ruined.

Grace did so out of considerations of her own for her daughter.

However, as soon as she said that, Sylvia grew upset. Grace knew she couldn't force things by controlling Sylvia as it might not give her the results she wanted.

So Grace turned to Heinz and said in a low voice, "Let her be. It seems like she has promised Claudia already."

"Will Sebastian go?" Heinz asked.

"Sebastian?" Sylvia immediately

shook her head. She was much

more relaxed after hearing that she

could go out. She couldn't contro

her excitement. "I didn't ask him. I don't think he would want to_n go.

"Is it because he doesn't want to go, or you don't want him to go?" Heinz looked at his daughter expressionlessly.

Sylvia felt really helpless under his father's gaze.

She shook her head. "I don't mind if he wants to follow me, but he might not even want to."

"Go upstairs and ask him if he wants to go to Claudia's house warming party with you tomorrow." he ordered, sounding indifferent.

Her eyes widened as she looked at his father in slight disbelief. "Is this for real? Are you sure you want me to ask him?"

"If he goes, you two can look out for each other, so neither of you will do anything out of line. Then, I will be relieved," Heinz said indifferently.

Upon hearing that, Sylvia's shoulders drooped.

"Dad, aren't you overthinking just a little too much?" She pouted and protested.

"I can say that to you. Now go

upstairs and ask him." It was clear that he was already greatly unhappy, and he would be much unhappier if she didn't go and ask Sebastian then.

Sylvia was so scared that she practically ran upstairs.

When she left, Grace immediately asked, "What are you trying to do?"

"I just want them to be there to look out for each other. I've said it."

Heinz spoke faintly as he looked at the corner of the stairs on the second floor. If he guessed correctly, Sylvia must be eavesdropping on them at the

corner then.

Of course, he wouldn't say anything else.

He helped Grace up the stairs slowly.

Grace snorted, knowing what he was thinking. Did he think he could keep her guessing?

He gave his wife a look and then looked at the corner.

After a moment of thought, she understood the meaning of his gaze and gasped in realization.

He nodded calmly.

She didn't know whether to laugh or cry at Sylvia's bad habit of eavesdropping. She also nodded to show that she understood.

The couple walked very slowly, not in a hurry.

Sylvia was anxious. She wanted to know why her parents wanted Sebastian to go as well.

However, she didn't hear anything even after waiting for a long time.

Seeing that Heinz and Grace had already gone upstairs, Sylvia had no choice but to leave quickly.
