The two of them drew closer to each other.

Heinz left Grace breathless.

Heinz almost couldn't help resist making love to her, but he could only fantasize about it.

But they weren't really in the mood.

She closed her eyes instinctively. Initially, she didn't want to respond, but in her heart, she was very grateful for everything he had done. Now, under his protection, she was living a stable life. Thinking about this, she put her hands on his strong back and responded to him. That was received as a sign of approval.

It was an encouragement for Heinz.

He suddenly became more excited and more enthusiastic as he breathed heavily.

They were about to do it.

Their breaths were rapid at this moment. Their eyes were filled with desire and they were yearning for each other.

Grace stopped and looked into Heinz's eyes.

He also stopped and moaned in a low voice, "Not enough. It's still not enough."

Grace didn't know whether to laugh or to cry. She said in a hoarse voice, "Stop talking. Hurry up and leave."

"That's right."

Outside, Alice was sitting at the dining table. She did not move her spoon even once after Grace had entered the bedroom with Heinz.

He told them to eat earlier.

Nevertheless, Alice had not taken a bite yet.

It was the first time for Lowell to have a meal with everyone. He looked back at Heinz and Grace who were walking away. Then, he whispered to everyone, "We'd better wait for Heinz and Grace before we star having lunch together."

Alice was amazed. She raised her eyebrows and looked at Lowell.

He was very considerate and courteous to wait for others to have the meal together.

Gary did not have any objections. After all, he was waiting for his mother. He had always adored her the most.

As for Heinz, he completely ignored him.

Looking at Ernest, he nodded vigorously and responded to Lowell's call heartily. "I also think that we should wait for Daddy and Mommy to have lunch together. Isn't that right, aunt?"

"You're very smart." Alice was sitting next to him and she stretched out her hand to rub Ernest's hair. "Yes, just wait. We're not very hungry, anyway."

After they reached an agreement, no one moved their spoons.

Seeing that Heinz was back, the housekeeper ordered the servants at the kitchen to add two more dishes and a set of cutlery.

When Heinz and Grace came out of the room, they found out that all of them had not eaten and were waiting for them.

Grace was surprised. "Didn't we tell you to eat first?"

"We're not in a hurry. Lowell suggested we should wait for you guys." Alice explained to Grace and Heinz. "Gary and Ernest were very supportive too."

Heinz pulled out a chair for Grace and said, "Sorry, we're late. Sorry to keep you waiting."

"You're welcome." Lowell smiled and said, "Brother."

Heinz felt awkward with that form of address because his son was five years old and Lowell was eight years old.

Heinz took a look at Lowell calmly.

Grace also felt the same way. She couldn't describe how she felt about Lowell, whom her mother gave birth to with someone unknown to them. She felt unpleasant and helpless because Lowell looked very well-behaved.

Throughout the whole morning, he took Gary and Ernest to play with him and had a good time.

The children also liked him very much.

When Grace heard Lowell calling him brother, her lips twitched.

Sitting beside Heinz, she stretched out her hand and held Heinz's hand.

Heinz paused for a moment before he raised his head to look into Grace's eyes.

Without saying anything, he understood that she was comforting him. She took care of his feelings without ignoring Lowell's feelings.

They looked at each other without uttering a single word.

Alice looked at Lowell and suddenly felt that there was something amiss.

Alice immediately said, "Lowell, didn't I say, he's your brother-in-law?"

Hearing this, Lowell stuck out his tongue and said, "Sis, I think it would feel closer to call him brother." "He can call Heinz whatever he likes." Grace felt that it was a habit of his. "Alice, you don't have to worry about how he refers to Heinz."

Alice was a little puzzled. She felt that's way of addressing Heinz was kind of stubborn.

Lowell lowered his head hastily and resumed eating.

However, Gary noticed what his parents were doing. He suddenly asked, "Since you are holding hands under the table, when will you get your marriage certificate?"

In an instant, Grace blushed, and she quickly pulled her hand back.

How could this child know what was going on?

She shot a quick glance at the child and said nothing.

Heinz didn't pay any attention to Gary. He lifted up the spoon and scooped up some of the dishes to place on Grace's plate.

"I'm asking you, why don't you say anything?" Gary looked at Heinz. "Things have been settled and the ones who should be divorcing have also divorced. Isn't it time for you to get married?"

Heinz looked at his son helplessly since he pointed out the problem so bluntly. He was gratified that his son still remembered that. However, at the same time, he was sad that Gary didn't even address him properly.

Heinz felt that he would never be able to see the moment in his life when the child would call him father.

He smiled and asked, "Gary, are you talking to me?"

"If I'm not talking to you, then who else am I talking to?" Gary replied incisively. From his point of view, Heinz was intentionally ignoring him.

"I thought that you're talking to your aunt," Heinz said. "Your aunt is not married either, and she is going to marry your Uncle Charm."

"Is Uncle Charm divorced?" Gary asked him back. "Everyone who's present knows that you've been married twice. Who else would marry again other than you?"

Heinz was in a pinch. He was afraid that the label of the second marriage would follow him for the rest of his life and there was no way to shake it off.

He looked at Gary and said bluntly, "It's not that I don't want to get married but it's your Mommy who said we should take it slow."

As he spoke, he turned to look at Grace.

His meaning was very clear. He could do it any time. It was up to Grace to decide.

Gary also looked at her mother and said, "Hey, Madam Smith, when are you going to get married?" "Gary, we're not at the best of moments in our life for such a thing."

"That's so exciting actually," Little Gary said. "If you're getting married at a critical moment like this, that proves how deeply you love each other."

"Yes." Heinz also nodded. "I agree with Gary. It's courageous for us to get married in times like this. In this way, our marriage will last for a long time."

"Hey, Heinz. You thought the same when you got the marriage certificate with Jodie, didn't you?" Gary teased him again.

The atmosphere around the dining table changed all of a sudden, and everyone immediately gazed at Gary.

Ernest also opened his mouth and said, "Brother, why do you ask such insensitive questions? Although there is a marriage between Daddy and another woman, you should care about how Mommy feels before bringing it up."

"My little brother, Mommy is not as vulnerable as you think. She dared to give birth to us with a man who has been married multiple times before. It shows that she's not that fragile."

Grace was speechless when she looked at the two little boys. They really knew everything.

Alice was also dumbstruck. She sighed loudly and said, "Oh my god, how are children so smart nowadays?"

"Auntie, if you were really curious about that, why don't you give birth to one and see for yourself? Don't envy our Mommy," Little Gary said. "I think Uncle Charm and your genes aren't bad either. Your baby would turn out quite well."
