"Don't mess around." Grace got out of bed and said, "I am very tired. Just wait."

She left Heinz behind and went to the bathroom. Heinz didn't chase after her either. Instead, he waited until after Grace had entered the bathroom, then he got up to take the diamond ring. Heinz took out the box and took off the label on it. Then, he went into the bathroom.

When the door was opened, Grace felt a gust of cold air coming in even from behind the glass door. She shuddered and said, "Didn't I tell you to wait and wash up later?" "Yes." He shrugged, closed the door and walked in. "But I didn't agree."

Grace had no choice but to wash up quickly because she didn't want to stay with Heinz in the bathroom for too long.

However, she didn't expect Heinz to come over to her again.

Grace froze instantly and resisted out of instinct.

However, Heinz grabbed her hand and quietly put on the diamond ring.

Grace was stunned. There was an obvious feeling of a ring sliding onto her finger.

Her gaze fell on her finger, only to see the ring on her hand.

She had already known about it, but when he put it on for her in person, she could not help but feel a kind of warmth.

"Do you like it?" Heinz looked at Grace who had the ring on and was staring straight at it as if she was shocked. She was in a daze and Heinz asked dotingly, "You don't like it?" "No!" There was warm moist mist in her eyes.

"I like it. Thank you."

He smiled. "But you're not too surprised."

Grace smiled embarrassedly and said, "I noticed it just now."

Heinz raised his eyebrows. "You saw it just now?"

"I accidentally touched it when I was hanging your suit." Grace said shyly, "I didn't mention it. I was afraid that if it's not for me, it'll be so embarrassing."

"If it's not for you, who else would I give it to?" Heinz laughed. "We're getting married but I haven't even given you a ring, so I feel sorry."

"Thank you." She said again, her eyes full of light. "I like it very much."

"That's good." Heinz stepped forward and wanted to hold Grace in his arms. "Then let's take a bath together?"

"No." Grace still felt that she was too tired and uncomfortable in the bathroom, so she subconsciously dodged him.

However, she didn't expect the floor to be so slippery and she slipped when she wasn't paying attention.

Heinz had quick reflexes. He pulled her forcefully, causing Grace's back to bump into his chest.

She didn't slip onto the ground but bumped into his arms instead.

Coincidentally, her butt naturally hit him too. She could feel a kind of power brought by the muscles that lined his body clearly and the mood changed instantly. Grace froze. She was so frightened that she didn't dare to move.

Heinz didn't let go of her either and his face was tense. The woman in his arms gave rise to his feelings instantly.

Grace held her breath and said, "Heinz, it's fine now. Let me go."

Heinz didn't say a word. He just turned her around and let her face him.

As soon as Grace saw his look, her heart was about to jump out of her throat.

Heinz said, "It's all your fault. You ignited the fire in my body in an instant." He was referring to his own state of mind.

Grace was very embarrassed and stammered, "Don't, let's go inside."

Heinz didn't evade. He lowered his head to lift her blushing face and said, "Let's go in once you're done washing."

"I'm done washing." She said, "I'm going out to wait for you now."

Heinz raised his eyebrows and looked at her small face with longing in his eyes. He smiled and said, "Okay, you're right. We should go out. It's too slippery here. If we slip, it will affect our marriage registration tomorrow."

"I'm going out." Grace hurried to leave.

Heinz looked at her who was leaving while hurriedly wrapping herself in a bath towel. He smiled slightly and said, "Wait for me!"

After walking out of the bathroom, she let out a sigh of relief.

She felt that she had been bewitched. Every time, she was overwhelmed by Heinz's charm.

After wiping herself clean, she quickly went back to bed and covered herself with the blanket. She reached her hand to look at the diamond ring on her hand. The diamond ring complemented her slender and long fingers, which looked incredibly nice.

While she was looking, Heinz came out. He lifted the blanket, got in and held Grace in his arms.

"It's okay now, right?"

When he asked her that, Grace nodded.

Heinz held Grace tightly and the two of them were much more relaxed.

They fell asleep a little after one o'clock.

The next morning, after taking the children to the kindergarten, they went to the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Lester took Heinz's ID card and household register and handled the formalities.

Grace also gave her household register and her ID card to Lester. They then waited in line.

Grace was wearing a trendy suit that looked cute and decent but it also made her look elegant.

Heinz had deliberately changed into a suit and put on a tie. The two of them stood together, looking like a pair of beautiful lovers.

As soon as they entered the Civil Affairs Bureau, they filled in the forms first.

Grace and Heinz filled them out carefully and then took some photos together.

While taking the photos, Grace leaned towards Heinz with a sweet smile on her face. Heinz also tilted his head slightly to the side and leaned closer to Grace. The photos taken by the two were very intimate.

Even the photographer said, "It's really beautiful. I can tell at a glance that you're both passionately in love."

"Thank you," Heinz expressed his gratitude.

Soon, he handed over his ID card and household register.

Grace and Heinz waited for the marriage certificate to be reviewed.

However, after checking for a while, the staff suddenly said with a serious face, "Mr. Jones, is this your second marriage?"

Heinz's face changed slightly.

Grace was also stunned. Her heart skipped a beat and an ominous feeling welled up in her chest.

At that moment, her blood became cold.

She looked at Heinz with a pale face and he also looked at her with a trace of worry in his eyes.

"Mr. Jones, your household registration shows that you're married now." The staff member said with a serious face, "Therefore, you can't get married."

Grace's heart sank completely. "What's going on?" She thought.

Heinz's expression was even uglier. He suddenly remembered that he got a marriage certificate with Jodie. They didn't hold a wedding ceremony but they got their marriage certificate. After that, they had a fight. He signed the divorce certificate and gave it to the lawyer. After that, Jodie died and the divorce was not finalized.

Heinz was also stunned.

He found his voice after a long time and said to the staff, "I'm sorry, I got a certificate before but the other party has already passed away."

The staff nodded.

"I don't think her death will affect my marriage," Heinz said.

The staff member shook his head. "Mr. Jones, we've found out that your ex-wife is Madam Jodie. Her household register has not been deleted, so we can't tell if she has passed away or not. You and Madam Grace are not allowed to get married. I'm sorry, but your certificate cannot be approved."
