Heinz could not deny that Sebastian was smart with a sharp instinct and good observation skills.

Heinz nodded. "Yes, I'm heading to the office now. Anyway, I've told you my thoughts, and I believe that you can do very well. It's the best choice not to fall in love. And even if you do, we won't interfere too much. We just hope that you can make your own decisions in life."

"Thanks for your understanding and support, Dad. I don't know what's going to happen in the future, but I hope that I'll be able to handle things well and not regret anything when I look back on my life," Sebastian replied.

"Saying something like that shows that you're already a very mature young man. It's really mature of you to be able to think for the other person," said Heinz approvingly.

Heinz nodded with admiration. He truly felt that Sebastian might be much more mature than him. It was impressive that Sebastian could actually restrain himself from falling in love, especially at such an age.

Once again, Heinz felt embarrassed. He had been too emotional. He wanted to be an open-minded father, yet he got laughed at by his own son.

Heinz felt that he was actually the immature one between them. He smiled bitterly and said, "I'll be heading off then. You can continue studying."

After Heinz left Sebastian's room, he went to check on Grace and saw that she was already asleep.

He smiled to himself. She said that she was not going to sleep, yet there she was, sound asleep. She must have been exhausted. She had been really tired throughout the whole pregnancy. Heinz looked at Grace lovingly, then left.

When he finished work later that day, he quickly went back home.

When he entered the house, Grace was walking around in the hall downstairs. She could not go out for a walk because of the cold weather, so she was walking around in the house.

As soon as Heinz arrived, he went toward her and gave her a big hug.

Smiling, Grace hugged him back and said in a gentle tone, "You're home."

"Yeah," Heinz whispered in her ear. "I left at noon. You were asleep, and I didn't want to wake you up."

Hearing that, Grace smiled awkwardly. "I was too sleepy earlier. I wasn't planning on sleeping, but I still dozed off."

"That's okay. It's good that you got to get more sleep. Just sleep if you feel tired." Heinz stepped back a little as he looked at her with an affectionate gaze. "Go and eat if you're hungry. Whatever you feel like eating, just ask the kitchen staff to prepare them for you."

"Okay," Grace's replied, smiling as she nodded. "I'm not feeling hungry now."

Because she had slept for the whole afternoon, she was very energetic at that moment.

Heinz was also delighted to see her looking much more energetic. "You look so much better after a nap."

"You can tell?" Grace asked, beaming.

"Yes, I can." Heinz held her hand and led her to the sofa to sit down. "Rest for a while first. I'll go upstairs to change my clothes, then I'll take a walk with you."

"Go ahead. There's no need to rush. You must be tired from work."

It was rare for Grace to be so considerate.

Heinz smiled tenderly. "I'm not tired. Everything has been going smoothly recently, so I don't have much to worry about."

"Still, you should get some rest. We'll be having dinner soon," Grace said.

"Okay then."

After ten minutes, Heinz came down. It had taken him five minutes for a quick shower, then another five minutes to get dressed. He came down straight after. Looking at his half- dried hair, Grace knew that Heinz had rushed down to accompany her before even drying his hair properly.

He probably did not even use the hairdryer and just dried it with a towel.

"I'm done," Heinz said. "We aren't going out. We'll stay inside so that you won't catch a cold."

Grace looked up at him, her gaze tender yet piercing.

She thought about how he had been really good to her throughout the years as she studied him carefully. Noticing her looking at him, he smiled and asked, "Why are you staring at me? Am I very handsome?"

She giggled and said, "You're very handsome. You're getting more handsome as time passes."

It was the attractiveness of a mature man. He exuded a mature and steady aura, and it was really attractive.

Heinz leaned in a little closer to her and narrowed his eyes. Then, he asked in a sexy and deep voice, "What's the matter? Have you fallen for me?" Grace blushed and looked away slightly. Without looking at Heinz, she said, "If I didn't fall for you, why would I have borne you so many children?" Clearly, her words pleased him.

He chuckled loudly.

Grace's cheeks flushed even harder,

and she gave him a hard glare. When Heinz sat down beside her,

she could smell the faint

fragrance

of his body shampoo. She took a deep breath, her eyelashes

trembling a little as shkel

a

down. Her face was growing even hotter.

Heinz held her hand and stopped smiling. "Why do you keep blushing like a little girl?"

"It's all because of you," Grace replied. "If you didn't tease me on purpose, I wouldn't be blushing."

Heinz smiled and lifted her hand to his lips. Planting a kiss on her hand, he said, "I didn't do anything. Your cheeks as so red that you seem like a little girl."

"You kept on mentioning little girls. Could it be that all you can think of are little girls? Grace pouted and gazed up into Heinz's eyes. Pretending to be angry, she asked "Tell me, do you think I'm old now?" "Silly, Heinz replied affectionately with a smile, gently tapping her nose. "To me, you'll always be the girl that I love and cherish the most.

No matter what happens in the future, even when we're old, you'll always be in my heart."

"What a sweet talker you are," Grace teased. Despite saying that, she was still very happy.

"I'm just saying the truth." Heinz kissed her hand again.

Grace's body trembled. The hand he just kissed seemed so warm, almost as if it was burning.

She immediately pulled back her hand. "Stop kissing me."

Heinz ignored her. He took her hand and continued to hold it in his hands. He held it tightly and said with a smile, "You're my wife, so I have the right to do so, don't I?" "The children will be coming downstairs for dinner soon," Grace said. "It's almost dinnertime."

"They've gotten used to it already. If the two of us weren't this loving with. each other, then that would be a problem, Heinz said solemnly. "If that were the case, the children will probably worry that something's wrong with our relationship."

"Didn't you say that I'm always in your heart? If that's true, why would there be something wrong with our relationship?" Grace retorted.

Heinz was stunned. He looked at her with an aggrieved expression. "Honey, how am I supposed to respond to that?"

"You shouldn't," Grace replied in a low voice.

Heinz blinked his eyes at her innocently.

The way he was looking at her made her giggle. She also felt that she was being a little unreasonable.

Seeing her giggle, Heinz was relieved, and he reached out to hug her. "You scared me. I thought you got angry again."
