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 ept the fact that Sylvia was the one who made the first step? I''m sure Kendrix has a certain charm to attract


    your daughter toc.”


    "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 lock 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 notpletely wrong


    After all, Sylvia was still a teenager who was first exposed to love and rtionship. 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, "l 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.Text ? by N0ve/lDrama.Org.


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


    Heinz nced 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 nced 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 red 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 nced 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.


    Heinz was still frowning.


    Grace added, "Gary, you and Celeste aren''t the only ones who made it obvious. Alice and I approached Kendrix too.”


    "What? When?" Gary was shocked


    When did Grace be so impatient as well?


    Grace felt a little guilty to look at Gary.


    She said, "We went this morning to the school and met with Kendrix."


    "What do you think of him then?" Gary asked.


    "He does seem decent from the first impression, but then I still have my concerns before we get to know each other more." Grace was being honest


    too.


    "He is indeed a little arrogant. However, it''s amon problem among the talented ones, including me,” Gary said.


    Graceughed. "Kendrix is different from you. He is much more reserved than you."


    "Mommy, you shouldn''t be praising others over your own son." Gary protested.


    "Fine, you are outstanding too." Grace felt helpless.


    Gary smiled as he raised his eyebrows. "What happened next?"


    "Sylvia found out about me going to look for Kendrix, so she scolded me this afternoon over the phone. She sounded embarrassed and mad about it."


    Grace said


    Gary was surprised.


    Heinz nced at Grace and saw that her eyes were still slightly reddened. He felt a little guilty.


    "All right, you all have already made this clear enough. I''ll not go over then,” Heinz said.


    Gary said in a deep voice, "That''s the right thing to do."


    Heinz said nothing.


    Gary couldn''t help but to put on a


    solemn expression. "Heinz, how can


    you not teach Sylvia a lesson for


    scoldinggMom over the phone? All


    you are-soncerned about here 5st

    Heinz was startled.


    He looked at Grace with a guilty and apologetic expression.


    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 exined.


    "Mom, you-should stop spoiling her


    too. If thig''continues, her bad teraper


    is exactly what''s going to keep. boys

    "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.


    Soan, 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 locking 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.

    was defeated. He then changed the
