"Think about it yourself," Heinz said.

Grace found it weird, but she couldn't think of anything no matter how hard she tried. She then said, "Just tell me. If you don't, I won't even think about it as I'm pregnant now and I don't really want to tire myself out with such things."

He felt helpless. "You're quite honest."

"Yes." She said, "I don't want to think about anything else except my daily routine, the babies, you, and the children. It will be too much for me."

"Don't be modest. You dealt with a lot of other things as well." Heinz was indirectly referring to how she handled his father's matter.

She felt a little guilty as she thought about how she secretly handled and dealt with Lawrence's matters. Did Heinz say something like that because he knew something?

"Heinz, what do you mean when you said I dealt with a lot of things?"

"Everything," he replied to her with only one word.

"I don't understand what you just said." She still couldn't connect the dots. All she felt was that whatever Heinz said was weird.

"I'll be back later. I miss you very much," he muttered softly, his voice extremely hoarse.

Her heart skipped a beat and her face turned slightly red. "Heinz, I miss you too."

His heart also turned soft after hearing her honest confession.

They continued talking until they forgot about the matter at hand that they were just talking about.

Just then, someone came into the president's office.

Heinz immediately said to her, "Someone is coming to my office. I'll talk to you later."

"Oh, okay. It's more important to work now." Grace said, "Hurry up and do your job. Don't worry about me."

"Yes."

After hanging up, he turned and saw Alex by the door.

"President Jones, if you're busy, I'll come back later." Alex was holding a big box, and behind him were several people, each holding large boxes.

Heinz raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is the wedding dress here?"

"Yes. As per your previous order, the wedding dress and jewelry have all been sent over from France." Alex replied, "They have just arrived at the company. Do you want to have a look or send them home?" "I'll have a look," Heinz said. "Bring them in and open them."

"Yes." Alex immediately ordered everyone to come in. "Open the boxes. Be careful. No one is allowed to dirty the clothes and the jewelry."

"Yes!" The group of people all nodded respectfully.

Heinz was satisfied. He walked to the sofa and sat down.

Just then, the person in charge of the delivery of the wedding dress stood in front of Heinz and said respectfully to him, "Mr. Jones, the size of the clothes are three inches bigger according to the size that you gave me."

"Very good." He saw that the wedding dress was white and elegant. The dress looked like the most beautiful, fluffy white cloud in the world. He thought that Grace would definitely look great wearing it. Her belly was about to get bigger and bigger. These few days, he had been touching it and it was always a little bigger the next day.

He had to give her a wedding, no matter what.

Furthermore, they would only invite their closest friends and families to the wedding.

He thought of holding a small wedding first and then another grand wedding once she gave birth to the children.

It would be a pity if a lady never had a wedding.

He loved her and didn't want her to regret not having a wedding.

He thought that he should just give her the best surprise wedding seeing as how he loved her so much.

There were also several sets of fashionable jewelry made of gold and rose gold jewelry inlaid with various diamonds and gemstones.

Soon after, the entire president's office was filled with boxes.

Heinz checked each of them one by one to make sure that everything was fine. He was indeed satisfied with the jewelry.

"Alex, deliver all of them home this afternoon."

"Yes." Alex nodded. "President Jones, which day would the wedding be?"

"It was set a long time ago. We've agreed to give Grace a pleasant surprise."

"On what day?" Alex was very curious.

"12th, December 12th." Heinz said, "Double Twelve." "Ah, the day is coming soon." Alex looked at the calendar, "There's still a week left."

Heinz nodded and said, "Only our closest friends and families will be attending. Are the children's attire prepared?"

"Gary is too smart so we dare not let him know. We have asked his kindergarten teachers about the measurements since they know."

"What about Maria's?"

"We've done that but the dress will take two days to complete."

Heinz nodded and said, "Then just hurry it up. Don't waste any time. We have less than a week."

"But, President Jones, how will the banquet be on that day?"

"Gather all the cooks and servants in the villa together. We'll have a buffet in the garden. You don't have to worry about this, I'll arrange it with the butler." "Yes, sir!"

Heinz called the butler to arrange things with him.

This was a surprise for Grace.

The butler received the call just when he was about to serve her some fruits. The moment the phone rang, he picked it up quickly and answered, "Mr. Heinz?" "Is Grace right next to you?" The butler looked towards Grace and it was at this time that she turned to look at him. She was surprised to know that it was Heinz that called.

She wondered why he called the butler when he said that he was busy.

Seeing her staring at him, the butler turned and left.

This aroused her suspicion.

What was he doing?

The butler walked further away. Grace stood up and followed the butler secretly.

She was bored from staying at home. She decided to replace out what secrets the butler and Heinz were hiding from her.

She followed him to the end of the corridor and hid at the corner.

The butler said in a low voice, "Yes, President Jones. According to your orders, we've decided on the dishes."

What sort of dishes were they talking about now?

She was intrigued.

What dishes?

She then heard the butler saying, "It's all close friends and families. We've invited the Old Master and his butler, Jensen and Alice, Jensen's parents, Mr. Lowe and his family, and Editor Lowe. That is all. We've printed out extra invitation cards. You can take a look when you're back and see who else you want to invite."

Invite?

Grace was once again intrigued.

Was Heinz inviting people over for dinner?

But why would he need invitation cards?

Grace had lots of questions in her mind. She waited until the butler hung up then walked out immediately towards him and called out, "Butler!"

"Ah! You scared me, Madam Grace," the butler gasped in surprise. Both his hands covered his chest; his heart was beating fast.

"What are you afraid of? Did you do something in secret?" She turned to him and said, "Tell me. It's better to share the fun with me."

"Madam Grace." The butler was not put in an awkward position. He was at loss about what to do. If their surprise was found out, he would die in Mr. Heinz's hands.

"Go ahead." She could tell that the butler was very scared, so she also encouraged him with a smile, "Hurry up and tell me. Don't hesitate."

"It's nothing." He shook his head repeatedly.

"If it's nothing, why are you giving out invitation cards?" She asked directly, "Those who are invited are all people closest to us. What are you all trying to do?"

"I don't know." The butler didn't know how to answer her questions.

"Ha." Grace looked at the butler, then chuckled and said, "Well, if you don't know, then I won't participate in it."
