"When you were talking about the excitement dying!" accused Heinz. His eyes were accusing as he said, "Grace, do you plan to ignore me once the excitement dies?"

Grace's mouth was wide open. She thought, "Did he hear wrongly?"

Heinz hugged her and asked, "Are you tired of playing with me?"

Shocked, Grace repeated, "Playing with you?"

"Yes, I overheard your conversation with Alice earlier. You said that once the excitement is over, you will stop paying attention to me," Heinz repeated what he had overheard to Grace. "What else can you say to defend yourself?"

Grace widened her eyes and said after a while, "I have nothing to say."

When he heard her answer, Heinz instantly felt disappointed. He hooked his arms around her waist and sat on the bed. He pulled her to sit on his lap.

Grace was trapped by him and couldn't move at all. She could only look at Heinz helplessly as she asked, "What are you doing?"

"Grace." Heinz said solemnly, "Look, we have a son. We have everything we need right now. What do you think we still lack?" Grace glanced at him in confusion.

"Answer me," he said while trying to guide her train

of thoughts.

"I don't know," replied Grace, who had no idea what he really wanted to say. "I'm lacking in many areas."

"What do you lack?" Heinz raised his eyebrows and asked.

"I lack a lot," Grace said regretfully. "Forget it. You won't understand."

"Please tell me," he insisted. He really wanted to understand her.

Heinz kept feeling that though they had reconciled, Grace still seemed to be laden with anxiety.

He could feel that she did not feel secure.

"Tell me," Heinz reached out and gently held Grace's chin so that she would look into his eyes. "Grace, tell me, what do you want to do?"

"I just want to stay healthy," Grace said while pulling away from his hand, "And live my life to the fullest."

When Heinz heard these words, he felt that she was being insincere.

Although her answer was very realistic, he felt that it was too general.

He frowned and said, "Grace, I want to marry you."

Grace was dumbfounded.

He stared into her eyes and said, "We already have a child. Let's get married."

Grace couldn't calm the storm that was brewing in her heart. Her feelings spiralled out of control.

Get married? she thought to herself.

How could he suggest that so casually?

Grace remained silent for a long time.

Heinz continued to hug her in that way. He rested his hand on her slender waist and gently touched her.

Grace stood up.

With his legs, Heinz clamped Grace to stop her from leaving.

He asked, "Do you not want to marry me?"

Grace nodded and said, "Yeah, that is not part of my consideration now."

"What else do you need to consider?" He blinked his eyes and asked. He wanted to settle down with Grace as soon as possible. His feeling of wanting to settle down at the moment was not something that he had ever felt before.

"As I said before, we might not be compatible with each other." Grace looked at Heinz and said, "I agree to give our relationship a try, but Heinz, we haven't had much time to interact with each other. If I were still an inexperienced girl and if I had yet to give birth to Little Gary, I would probably be very happy to hear this."

Heinz looked at her with surprise in his eyes.

"But now, after going through so much, I really feel that marriage would become a responsibility I need to bear. I need to be more mature and rational," Grace added. "Please respect me and yourself."

"I don't want it to be done on an impulse," she continued. "I hope that we can get along with each other well and naturally. Only then, we can really be together."

"Regardless of what happens, we need to be rational. Both of us need to consider this matter carefully," Grace finished her words.

Heinz thought for a moment and nodded. Then, he said, "Even though I'm unhappy with what you said, but I have to admit that you're right."

Grace was slightly surprised. He seemed to have learned to respect her opinions.

She felt very happy.

Grace smiled at him and said, "Thank you, Heinz."

Heinz held her hand and said, "I'm afraid that you will get tired of me."

"I wasn't talking about you earlier," said Grace as she looked at him helplessly. "I was talking about Little Gary."

She had no choice but to recount her conversation with Alice to explain to him.

After hearing her explanation, Heinz took a deep breath and said, "I thought you have lost interest in me!"

Grace rolled her eyes at him.

Heinz suddenly realized something and stood up. He looked down at Grace and said teasingly, "That means you are still interested in me, aren't you?" Grace blushed and felt extremely embarrassed. She replied, "I won't tell you."

She wanted to rush out and seek help.

Heinz grabbed her and pulled her back into his embrace again. He asked in a low voice, "Do you still have it today?"

"What?" asked Grace. She did not understand his question.

"How long does it usually last?" Heinz asked again.

Grace finally understood, and she blushed hard. How could he ask her such a question? She blurted the answer before she could stop herself, "A week."

Heinz frowned and said, "Won't you have anemia?"

Grace was startled.

"Didn't you have anemia the last time," Heinz said. "One week is too long, I'm pretty sure the average is about five days. One week is too long and that's why your body is very weak. Let's go to see a gynaecologist.."

Hearing this, Grace was speechless.

"I'll make a phone call right away for an appointment with a gynaecologist. She can prescribe something for your weak body," Heinz said again and immediately made the phone call. Grace did not know what to say.

She watched him speak into the phone, saying, "Lester, bring Alex and Butler Holland here with you. Let them take Little Gary and Ernest to the amusement park. Also, help me to make an appointment with a gynaecologist."

She didn't know what was the response of the person on the other end of the line.

After a while, he hung up the phone and went out to talk to Little Gary and Ernest, "Little Gary, your mommy's body is weak. I will take her to see a doctor. Uncle Lester and Butler Holland will bring both of you to an amusement park later."

"Mommy's body is weak?" Little Gary asked in surprise, "How do you know?"

She looked very normal to him.

"Can't you see that her face is a little pale?" Heinz pointed at Grace and said.

Little Gary looked at her carefully and said, "Mommy has always been like this. Her face is indeed very pale."

"Ernest." Heinz looked at Ernest and asked, "What do you think?"

Ernest nodded and replied, "You are right, Dad. Aunt Grace's face is indeed pale and without a trace of blood. She looks very tired."

"Is it?" Little Gary looked at her again with eyes full of guilt. He said, "I've always thought that Mommy's face is like that naturally."

"It's not that serious," Grace looked at them and said. "Please don't make a big fuss over such a small thing."

"We must go and see a doctor," Heinz said seriously.

Fifteen minutes later, Lester came with his men and stood in a formidable manner at the door.

When Grace opened the door and saw a group of eight people, she was dumbfounded.

"Why are there so many people?" She asked.

Lester answered, "Miss Smith, we have to protect the young masters well. Of course, we have to bring along more people." She grunted in a stupor.

"Let's go," ushered Heinz. He had already ordered the little fellows to put on their clothes. Then, they went out together.

When Little Gary bade goodbye to Heinz downstairs, he pulled him to the side and whispered, "Tonight, I will go back to Ernest's house. You can have Mommy all to yourself."
