Chapter 1871


    Grace was lost in thought.


    After hanging up the phone, Grace remained motionless for a long while. She was in a trance.


    This surprised Heinz. He didn''t know what happened to his wife. He looked suspiciously at her for a long while and found that her mind seemed


    vacant. He didn''t know what she was thinking. He couldn''t help but ask, "What''s wrong? You''ve been out of it ever since you talked to Jensen. You


    look like you went into shock."


    With that, she returned to her senses and locked at Heinz with a frown. "I''ve been thinking about something."


    "What have you been thinking about?" Heinz could not help but ask.


    "I''m wondering which one of us has a problem," Grace said bluntly.


    Heinz was shocked and replied, "What problem are you talking about? Are you feeling ill? If you are, we''ve got to get you to the hospital right away to


    get treated! What''s wrong? Could it be that Jensen has fallen ill? Or is it Alice?"


    Heinz asked several questions in session. After giving him a nk stare, Grace let out a loud sigh


    Heinz was messing around too much.


    Heinz was still puzzled. "What''s going on? You look like you''ve been rendered speechless.”


    "Indeed. I really have nothing to say.” Grace admitted


    "I made you speechless?" Heinz was very puzzled. "Why?"


    Grace was not one to avoid the doctors. She thought carefully about what Jensen said before. After some contemtion, she turned to Heinz and


    asked, "Heinz, tell me frankly, do you think I am really strict with Sylvia?"


    Heinz was stunned by the question. He looked at his wife with a flicker of doubt in his eyes.


    This couldn''t be a trap, could it?


    If he gave her an unsatisfactory answer, he would not be able to save himself.


    Heinz took a deep breath and looked at his wife hesitantly. He blinked and said, "Honey, what''s wrong? You''re strict with Sylvia, but not overtly so. I''m


    not strict with her at all, so it''s only normal for you to be the stricter one in the family. Otherwise, she would think she owned the world, wouldn''t she?


    She might be spoiled.”


    Heinz said tentatively.


    Grace was disappointed by his answer.


    She thought that Heinz was just sugarcoating his words as he was worried that the truth would anger her. "Heinz, you don''t have to be so wary of


    telling me the truth. I''m just asking about your thoughts. If you think I''m very strict with Sylvia, you should just tell me. I''m not going to give you any


    trouble, I''m just asking for your opinion.”


    Heinz asked with uncertainty, "You''re asking for my opinion on educating our child?"


    Grace red at him. "What do you think I''m doing if not that?"


    Heinz muttered, "I thought you were trying to start a fight with me."


    Grace couldn''t help rolling her eyes at him. "Alright, I''ll tell you frankly.”


    "What do you want to tell me?" Heinz looked at his wife warily. He really didn''t know what Grace was going to say.


    Grace told Heinz everything that Jensen had said


    Heinz pped his thigh after listening, and then praised loudly, "Kendrix is so awesome. I think it''s great that Sylvia is being so smart about this.


    Lock, she''s finally found a man who appreciates her just as I do.”


    Grace gaped at her husband, rendered speechlessly.


    "Jensen praised that fellow''s intellect a lot. Furthermore, the fact that a policeman had gone undercover as a teacher in the school doesn''t sit right


    with me. Why do I feel like it''s a bad omen?” Grace asked. "He even called Jensen crazy!"


    Heinz shrugged his shoulders and said, "He''s a genius. How can we be sure what a genius''s thoughts are? Anyway, I think that Sylvia isn''t acting odd


    at all.”


    "From the sound of it, it seems like you think I''m the one who''s acting odd.” Grace red at her husband.


    Heinz''s heart quivered in fear at that. He felt that he had triggered his wife again. He had to be careful with his words. He could not forget himself just


    because someone had praised his daughter.


    He quickly said to his wife, "Of course not! You and Jensen are acting normal, but your guys'' version of normal is not the same as Sylvia''s, is it?


    We''ve been told that Sylvia''s really clever and normal. She''s fine! You''re worrying yourself over nothing.”


    Grace felt that Heinz''s words sounded a bit odd. She frowned and asked Heinz, "You mean that neither Jensen nor I are clever, then? Your daughter


    is the only smart one?"


    "Come on, think about it. If you weren''t smart, how could you give birth to such a smart daughter? That means that you''re really smart, doesn''t it?" He


    quickly twisted his words, hoping that his wife would not continue to trouble him. If he made Grace angry again, it would be torture.


    Grace was not really angry with him. After thinking for a while, she replied, "l don''t know what the teacher''s intentions are, so I want to meet him."


    "You want to meet the teacher?" Heinz was very surprised. He thought that it was unnecessary. "Why do you want to see him?"


    "Well, because of his doubts. I feel


    like he migh have sensed


    somethingd{acking in us as parents,


    you know?if I really dock <


    something, I''d like to get the


    CEVISE suggestions to fix it. K'' may


    be of great help to educate Sylvia.’


    Grace felt that she had to-ept


    constructive criticism if tat were


    the case.


    f


    Heinz looked at his wife''s belly and


    said, "You''re pregnant. It''s not


    convenient fg you to move around.


    Why don''t I''go meet this teacher by.


    myself? think he really appreciates


    our daughter''s intellect.” "That might


    not be the case. Perhaps they-were


    just Being truthful,” Grace sald.


    "Perhaps I don''t understard Sylvia


    enough. I feel that Sylvia''s behavior


    in school and at home are different.


    That''s why the teacher had such a


    avorable impression of her."


    "Dear, you seem to have forgotten that he is a young genius. Even Jensen thinks that he is a young genius. He would definitely live up to his name."


    Heinz was full of praises for this young genius he had never met before.


    Grace red at him and said jokingly, "Then I really have to go take a look at him. Maybe this young genius would start appreciating Sylvia so much


    that he might even be our son-inw in the future.”


    Hearing this, Heinz''s face darkened. "What? Honey, don''t talk nonsense."


    Grace sheered at him and said, "What? Are you suddenly worried about Sylvia''s marriage?”


    "Sylvia is still underaged.” Heinz


    reminded her; Honey, don''t make


    inappropriafe jokes about a teacher


    and a student like that. We must


    educate sur daughter well. Shecan''t


    think that she can always do


    whatever she wants. We''ll have to

    ey


    sel a good example for the kid to


    follow and pay close attéfition to


    them."


    Grace smiled at Heinz and said, "You''re right. We should pay close attention to them.”


    Eventually, the topic came to an end. Grace did not say anything else.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g


    However, Heinz and Grace were both deep in thought.


    Early the next morning, Grace got up and prepared to go to school


    Sylvia did not call her back the night before. Although she tried her best to leave her daughter to live in the school dorms, she was very frustrated that


    she could not see Sylvia every day.


    As Sylvia wasn''t home that night, Grace couldn''t sleep properly. She tossed and turned the entire night.


    Heinz was woken up by her several times. He watched Grace check her phone several times, as if she was waiting for someone''s call


    He was certain that she was waiting for Sylvia''s call.


    However, Sylvia did not make a single phone call. It seemed that she was enjoying herself in the dorms. She did not give either of her parents a


    phone call.


    He was disappointed as well


    Heinz felt very helpless.


    "Are you going to the school?" Heinz asked Grace when she noticed that Grace had dressed up to go out


    "Yes." Grace took a look at him and said, "You can head over to thepany. Don''t worry about me. I''m going to the school with Alice. She will pick


    me upter. You can get back to work."


    "Why don''t we go together?” Heinz didn''t want to be left behind. He wanted to see his daughter too.


    "I''m not going to see Sylvia. I''m going to see her teacher," Grace said.


    "What''s there to see?" Heinz retorted. "I want to see Sylvia. Honey, can I please go with you?"


    He pleaded with his wife.


    Grace pulled a long face and replied, "No, you either stay home or go to thepany. You can''te with me.”
