Grace looked at Lowell's disappointed gaze, which was full of hatred and grievances.

Looking at his innocent expression, she felt a twinge in her heart.

She apologized, "I'm sorry. I've got nothing against you, but we've already suffered losses. Therefore, we are treating everyone in this way. It's nothing personal. Do you understand?" Lowell paused for a moment and then laughed all of a sudden. The grievance in his gaze vanished instantly with just a word.

Grace felt sorry for him, thus she smiled at him, "Go ahead."

"Thank you, Heinz. Thank you, Grace and Alice. Thank you, Mr. Driver. Thank you, Mr. Butler," he thanked everyone politely. "Also, thank you, my little nephews."

Little Gary frowned instantly and threatened, "You'd better prove that you are indeed our uncle. Otherwise, I'll let you call me Uncle instead."

"Yes, don't you dare take advantage of us," Ernest followed Little Gary and threatened him too.

Lowell smiled and replied with certainty, "I'm your uncle for sure."

Butler Holland then left with him.

Heinz and Grace returned to the living room with the children.

"Grace, come with me to the study room," he said.

After being dazed for a moment, she nodded and turned around to say to Alice, "Take good care of the children."

"Okay," Alice nodded.

In the study room.

As soon as Heinz entered the study room, he apologized, "I'm sorry, Grace. I did a thing without informing you in advance today."

Her heart skipped a beat. She looked at him in surprise and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Jensen and I went to meet your mother in private today," he answered as he looked at her eyes with some worry.

A look of surprise flashed across her eyes, followed by shock. She asked while stuttering, "Why did she look for you?"

Heinz held her hands with both of his, only to replace that her palms were as cold as ice.

He answered anxiously, "Don't be nervous. It doesn't matter why she came looking for me. I know what I'm doing."

"Heinz." She said awkwardly, "You don't know what kind of person she is. She was a loving mother before I turned 15. After I turned 15, she was a mother who abandoned us all of a sudden without leaving a word."

"After I became a mother, I knew what it felt like to leave my child behind. I'm also a mother, but I couldn't do it."

"Therefore, I can't understand her behavior in any case. Why did she abandon Alice and me? Even if she doesn't get along well with Dad, she shouldn't abandon us, her children."

"I really can't accept and forgive this behavior of hers. I'm not mad at her for abandoning me, but I'm mad for Alice. Do you know that she was still very young at that time?"

"If Lowell is really her child, and she abandoned him again, then she shouldn't be considered as a mother, nor even a human being at all."

"Tell me, why did she look for you?" Grace asked.

"She said that we are not suitable for each other," he answered. "That we shouldn't be together."

She gasped with astonishment and asked, "Did she really say that?"

"Yes." He did not hide anything. Since the marriage incident, he told himself in his heart that he could no longer deceive Grace.

"How ridiculous." Her face was full of rage.

He found that she was really furious with Candace. If it was something else, she would not be so infuriated. However, the damage a mother had done to the child was like a heartwrenching pain. "She even wants to borrow money," Heinz said. "I asked her to tell you about this, but she refused."

"Borrow money?" Grace was shocked again.

"What for? How much?"

"100 million dollars," he answered her honestly.

"Hiss!" That woman must be crazy!

Grace stared at him with her eyes wide open. Her small lips were slightly parted and she didn't shut it for a long time. "She actually wants to borrow 100 million dollars from you. Who does she think she is?" Heinz clenched Grace's hand tightly and his gaze was full of pity for her. "She looked frustrated at first, but I eventually refused. She refused to let you know about this matter, hence I disagreed and didn't give her the money," he explained.

"Don't give it to her." She looked at him immediately and said seriously, "Heinz, you must remember to not give her money in any case. You don't need to give in to her as well. There is no reason for you to fulfill her exorbitant demand."

"If she's a qualified mother, it doesn't matter if I give it to her," he said, "I can afford it."

"No, I want to meet her," Grace said. There was a rush of anger that surged across her chest. "I have to meet this woman right now and ask her what she means by that."

After saying that, she turned around and walked out.

Heinz grabbed her hand and stopped her. "Grace, why do you want to meet her? You don't need to meet her at all."

"No way." She shook her head and replied, "If I don't meet her, it'll be very difficult for me to calm the raging fire in my chest."

She was enraged.

He clenched her hand tightly. Suddenly, something flashed across his eyes.

"Grace, we don't know her real motive. Perhaps she's trying to force you to meet her by asking for money from me?" He raised his doubts.

This idea just flashed through his mind.

She was taken aback and looked at him

The two looked into each other's eyes and both of them were terrified.

Heinz confirmed this idea and analyzed it to her, "Look, as far as I know, she called you and Alice first but you refused. Then, she requested to see me."

Grace nodded and tried to calm herself down, saying, "She looked for me through Zachary, and then she looked for you and sent the child to us. All these three actions irritate me.

He continued to analyze, "She wants to get you on your nerves so that you'll go and see her. How about this, if she can't achieve her purpose, she'll take action again. If her purpose isn't to meet you, we don't have to bother every action of hers then."

After pondering for a while, she felt that she didn't keep her calm. "Well, anything you say then."

She calmed herself down a little and was led by him to sit down on a chair.

Heinz sat down too and said, "Don't worry about her. Let's observe for the time being."

"Alright." Grace nodded. "Have you dealt with Mr. Lawson's funeral?" "I didn't go in person." He replied, "I've asked Lester to arrange this matter, thus I don't have to deal with it again. Besides, Queenie is there. I've also been worrying about the Lawson family's affairs for many years. Therefore, I don't need to take the initiative to deal with it for them again and just help them out."

She looked at Heinz in a daze.

He got up, placed his hands on both sides of Grace and pressed on the door handle on her side. He looked at her and knew that she was pretty tense. Hence, his eyes flashed and he leaned over abruptly and kissed her hard.

Grace was startled. It was not appropriate to have such a deep kiss at this moment.

She didn't have that kind of feeling.

"Um!" She reached out her hands to push his chest, but she couldn't move him. "Heinz!"

He lowered his head with a sense of oppression. She could not push him away, no matter how.

He kissed her lips so firmly. He just wanted to kiss her deeply, and with the desire and the innate instinct of men, he wanted to appease her.
