"Heinz," Grace shouted in frustration.

"Yes." Heinz smiled and said, "Seems like you have agreed with my suggestion. Well, let's go back quickly."

"No." She grabbed his hand and stopped him from driving off quickly, "Listen to what I have to say."

"What do you have to say?" Heinz looked at her anxiously. "Is it because you can't wait anymore? You want to have a quickie right here?"

"Who wants to have a quickie with you?" Grace roared. "I'm not in the mood to joke around with you. I just want to tell you that I'll be visiting Southland with Alice this week."

"I'll go with you." Heinz immediately said, "We have companies in Southland as well. It'll also be convenient for us to replace a place to stay there."

"If you go, who's going to take care of Ernest and Little Gary?" Grace said, "What I mean is, now that we have offended so many people, we should think about the safety of our children."

"Don't worry, I have hired a lot of bodyguards." Heinz also understood her concerns. "Relax. In the future, bodyguards will follow the children everywhere they go and they will not let anything happen to them."

"I know your arrangements will be the best for us." Grace glanced at him as she was still worried. "But think about it, although we are on high alert now, I'm afraid that we might have overlooked something important.1 "Do you mean that you want to bring our children to Southland with us?" Heinz asked.

"Of course not." Grace shook her head. "What I mean is that you should stay in Northern City. Don't follow us there. If you go, I'm afraid that something will happen to our children and no one can attend to it." "Nothing will happen." Heinz shook his head. "I'll arrange for the best bodyguards to take turns taking care of them. I'll also enhance the security measures."

Grace was still worried. "You've just seen how extreme Simon's parents could get. Simon is injured and laying in the hospital. He's a rather narcissistic person. Now that he has lost half of his ear, he will not be able to take it."

"Are you worried that he'll do things out of desperation?"

"Yeah."

This was something that Grace had to worry about.

Heinz thought for a moment and said, "As for Simon, I'll send someone to keep an eye on him. This way, we can confirm that nothing out of the ordinary would happen. We'll have double insurance."

"Why don't you understand what I'm saying?" Grace said, "Since Alice will be leaving with me, I can't rest assured that Little Gary and Ernest will be safe here. I just want you to protect them. I'm afraid that if anything happens again, I won't be able to take it."

"I understand what you said." Heinz said in a low voice, "But Grace, why do I feel that you are overthinking it? You just don't want me to go to Southland, do you?"

"Yes, I just don't want you to go to Southland," Grace answered in a deep voice. "I really don't want you to go at all."

Heinz parted his lips but couldn't say anything.

Grace said, "That's settled then. You'll stay here to protect our children. I'll be assured then."

Heinz gritted his teeth and rolled his eyes before saying, "Okay, you may go to Southland. I won't go with you. I will stay here to play the role of a father and a mother. I will assist and support you when you are away."

When she heard him, Grace smiled instantly, and her eyes shined brightly.

"Heinz, I knew that you would agree with me."

"Make it up to me. Let's have a quickie?"

"No." Grace's face reddened and she let go of him. "Start driving. It's time to go back to pick up our children. I still have to contact my cousin to discuss my journey."

Heinz was flustered as he gazed at her deeply for a long time before he sat up. Then, he set his gaze to the front, and started the car engine.

After they picked up the children, Grace informed them that she would be going to Southland during their meal.

As soon as Grace finished talking, Little Gary asked, "Mommy, are you going there by yourself?"

"No, I'm going with your Little Aunt to take your greatgrandma's ashes to Southland."

"Only Little Aunt will be following you?" Little Gary asked again.

Grace nodded and said, "Not really. Your Little Aunt and Uncle Zachary will be there with me."

"Heinz, are you not going with Mommy?" Little Gary casted a cold look at Heinz.

Heinz immediately complained with grievance, "I wanted to, but your Mommy insists that I don't go with her. She wants me to stay here and take care of you." "Take care of us?" Little Gary immediately asked sarcastically, "How are you going to take care of us?"

Heinz was flustered instantly.

"Do you know how to cook? Do you know how to wash clothes?"

Heinz really didn't know what to reply.

"Are you going to send us to school personally, and pick us up personally?" Little Gary asked again, "Only Mr. Butler and the housekeepers would help us with our stuff."

His words startled both Grace and Heinz. They even felt a little ashamed.

"Mommy, let Heinz accompany you to Southland. Ernest and I will be fine with Mr. Butler and the housekeepers at home." Little Gary announced his arrangements as if he was an adult. "It would be better for Heinz to take care of you."

Heinz was not hopeful at first. He even thought about replaceing a way to follow them after they went. Unexpectedly, his son was so considerate to make such arrangements.

For a moment, he was really happy.

He looked at his son. The more he looked, the prouder he felt.

Little Gary rolled his eyes at him, "What are you looking at?"

Heinz laughed and said, "Son, you are too considerate. The thing is that your Mommy doesn't want me to follow her."

As he said this, he snuck a peek at Grace.

Grace spared him a glance as well when she noticed that Heinz was looking at her. After a long while, she said, "Little Gary, your aunt and I will be there together. I'll be worried if you two stay here without Dad It's better for him to stay here with you."

"What can he do?" Little Gary asked in reply, "We would be more worried about you if he stayed here with us. I think it's better for him to go with you."

Ernest continued, "Yes, Mommy. Let Dad go with you. He can protect you and take care of you. It's enough for us to have Mr. Butler and the housekeepers at home. Besides, we also have bodyguards." "Yes, we'll be fine." As if Little Gary was a little grown up, he said, "It's meaningless for you to stay. You'll make us worry more. Go together and you can take care of each other."

Heinz nodded and turned to look at Grace with eyes filled with hope. "What do you think, Mommy of my children?"

She rolled her eyes at him and said, "Did you ask Little Gary to be your little lobbyist because you are dying to go?"

"Good God," Heinz immediately looked at Little Gary. "Little Gary, tell her. Was I the one who asked you to be my lobbyist?"

"That's completely untrue." Little Gary said, "Mommy, you don't have to care so much. As you can see, you didn't send us to school or pick us up recently, yet nothing bad has happened to us." When she heard that, Grace felt bad and ashamed.

She really didn't do any chores personally because there were others to help her out. She was exhausted every day by Heinz's shenanigans. Sometimes, she wasn't even awake when the children left for school.

It was shameful to even think about it.

She felt even more upset because this statement came from her child.

Grace lowered her head and said after a short while, "Little Gary, why don't we all take a leave and go to Southland together?"
