"Lowell, what are you looking at?" Alice was also surprised by Lowell's focused expression.

"Lowell, what are you looking at?" Alice was also surprised by Lowell's focused expression. "Why are you staring at this portrait instead of playing? Is this Heinz's father?"

On the stairs, Gary had already spoken up for him. "He has been staring at those photos the moment we entered the house. It's been over ten minutes and he's still there. I don't know what's so enchanting about them."

Grace also looked at the hanging portraits. There were three people in the lifelike portrait, including a woman and some family photos.

That child should be Heinz.

There were several photos of the whole family. They were not too large and fitted into the frames with a width of about ten inches long. All of them were hung on the wall.

Grace spotted little Heinz from one of the family portraits.

He was very good-looking, even at a young age. She saw his progress from a three to a five-year-old child, to a teenage boy. At first, he was held by a woman. Later, he grew taller and stood in front of the mer and women and eventually, stood behind them.

Alice peered at them carefully and could not help exclaiming, "Gracie, this should be the photo of Heinz when he was a child. You see, this portrait must have been drawn based on his father, and this must be his mother. His mother is really gorgeous. She's thin, tall, and stunning from her hair to her eyes. She oozes grace and elegance."

It was evident that they were Heinz's parents.

Grace nodded.

However, she frowned when she saw that Lowell, who was still looking at the photos, seemed to have certain conflicting feelings.

"Lowell?" She put her hand on his shoulder with concern.

"Huh!" Lowell jumped, startled. He was stunned for a moment before coming back to his senses. When he saw Grace and Alice, his eyes were filled with an apparent surprise.

"Grace! Alice!"

"What are you looking at? You looked like you were daydreaming." She asked him.

Lowell quickly shook his head. "I don't know. This one looks like Heinz, so I'm having a look."

Then he came up to hold her hand and asked, "Sis, look, does he look like Heinz? He was young then, doesn't this man look like his father? No, indeed, it must be his father."

Grace nodded and felt a little awkward. "To be honest, I don't know, but I think it should be. These are Heinz's parents while this is him when he was a child."

"He does look like Heinz," Lowell said. "He's really good-looking."

"He truly does look like my brother-in-law," Alice also added, "Lowell, why do you call him by his name? That's my brother-in-law. You can do the same with me, just call him brother-in-law." Lowell hesitated for a moment. He then looked at Alice with a smile and said, "Alice, you're right. I get it, it's my brother-in-law."

"Yes!" Alice rubbed his hair and said, "Remember."

"Alright."

"Let's go. We are having lunch soon. Go and wash your hands in the front and get ready for lunch."

"Okay," Lowell turned his head to give the portrait one last glance before following Grace and Alice back to the front.

When Heinz returned home, it was lunchtime.

Grace and Alice had just washed their hands with the three children and were going to start their meal when Heinz came back.

Grace immediately got up and welcomed him. "Heinz, you're back? Have you eaten yet?"

"Not yet. I'm going to change my clothes first." Heinz looked at Lowell and Alice and said, "Eat first. Your sister and I have something to do."

Alice murmured a reply in return at once.

After they were back in the bedroom, Heinz went to wash his hands and changed his clothes.

While Grace was hanging up his clothes, she felt a little embarrassed when she saw him fully naked in front of her.

A glance at his private parts made her all flared up, thus she immediately turned her head away, embarrassed.

Heinz glimpsed at her and explained. "It wasn't like this initially, but when I saw you by my side, I couldn't help it."

Grace didn't know whether to laugh or to cry. She shook her head and said, "Now really is not the time forthat." "It's an instinct. I can't control it." Heinz didn't wear any clothes. He first hugged her and indulged in a little of the fragrance on her body. As a result, he felt even more aroused, saying in a muffled voice, "A lot of damned things are happening recently. After everything is over, we can finally have our sweet moments. Now that we are distracted, it won't be very enjoyable for us."

"You're too much," Grace said helplessly. "Stop talking. Hurry up and get dressed."

Heinz nodded. Suddenly, he held her hand and pulled it to his side. "Comfort me, will you?"

In an instant, Grace blushed and warned in a low voice. "Heinz!"

Heinz held her hand and thousands of emotions flashed across his handsome, angular face.

He wanted it.

Alas, it's not appropriate.

He looked at Grace sulkily and didn't want to let go.

Grace quickly pulled her hand back and turned around to replace clothes for him.

While putting on his clothes, Heinz said, "Jensen went to see Aaron and learned something. Your mother knows her and Lowell is indeed the child of your mother and Stephen. Aaron has seen him before in Alsburg."

"Stephen?" Grace frowned. "It's just a random foreign name."

"They are from Northern City. They should be between 55 and 60 years old," Heinz said.

"Okay," Grace nodded and said, "Take your time to investigate."

"What's more, your mother wanted to see us now, but I refused. She continues to suffer and she's on the verge of breaking down."

"She won't break down." Grace shook her head. "You've been underestimating her. She doesn't care about us at all. How could she break down?"

"You're right." Heinz had finished getting dressed. His eyes were filled with pity and adoration when he looked at her.

She felt a little embarrassed when he stared like that. So, Grace hurriedly turned her face away.

Heinz held her chin gently with his hand and said, "Don't be sad. I'll pamper you in the future."

Her eyes met his deep gaze and burst into laughter. "I know. You've said that many times." "Okay." Heinz hoarsely called out her name and said, "Think about it. Do we have a deeper bond?" Grace was mystified, and there was surprise in her eyes. "Do you think so?"

"We have gone through so much. I feel that my feelings for you grow more and more." He really felt he was closer to Grace.

Grace smiled again. "Well, I think so too. After experiencing so much, we can't be separate from each other anymore."

He got close to her and pressed his head on her face. The breath on her face was so warm.

In an instant, her whole breath was filled with the scent of Heinz.

Grace's heart trembled. She reached out to take his hand and whispered, "Alright, stop it. Let's go eat."

"Kiss me," Heinz murmured softly as he wrapped his arms around her waist.
