True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz)
Chapter 995

"Of course I will," Little Gary answered. "I feel like bullying Maria whenever I see her because she looks so familiar. She makes me feel as though she's a relative of mine." "Why?" Heinz was puzzled. He started leaving the study room too, "I think you're just too used to bullying her to the point you're replaceing excuses to justify your own behavior."

"Forget it. You won't understand. It's not like you can give me any constructive criticisms anyway. I won't address you as my dad either, so let's just keep it to ourselves. I think you're right that I should replace Mommy instead of you in the future too," Little Gary said with disdain.

"You turned so ruthless after extracting whatever information you wanted from me," Heinz lamented for himself.

"In ancient times, people have always killed their donkeys after it has finished its job." Little Gary said, "You should have seen this coming."

"Hey, little guy!" Heinz twisted his eyebrows, "I'm your dad, not a donkey, okay." "Oh, come on, you're worse than a donkey," Little

Gary smirked. "Good night, old man." "This little fella," Heinz sighed helplessly.

After seeing Little Gary go to his room, he went back to his own room as well.

Upon seeing him, Grace asked immediately, "So what was it about? Did he ask whether his teacher gave me a phone call?"

Heinz nodded and sighed, "Yeah, our son is really intelligent. I've gotten teased, criticized, even despised by him, and as usual he did not call me "daddy", nor do I know when he will ever do so." "But now, I can't seek my revenge yet as it'll only make his disdain for me grow stronger!"

After that, he sighed deeply, "How I wish I could live long enough to hear him addressing me as his dad."

She felt uncomfortable about it and sighed as she apologized, "My bad, I didn't teach him well enough. I really didn't expect him to be so stubborn when it comes to this matter as he's usually quite mature. I really can't fathom why he is holding a grudge against you for so long."

"Maybe he has really high expectations for me. That's why he despised me for not treating you right, as well as the fact that I'm a divorcee which made it worse for you," Heinz held her hand, "Hearing what he said, I really feel as though I don't deserve someone like you as well." "It has passed, let's not talk about it anymore," Grace said.

"Okay, won't talk about it." he sighed again. "It's good enough that we have a son like him. I guess I'll leave it to fate on whether he would ever address me as his dad."

Heinz then felt Grace's belly and gently said, "I wish I'll always be able to stay by this baby's side, so that she could be my precious darling in the future."

She promised softly, "Don't worry, I'll make sure that this baby becomes super close to you."

"I'd rather be even closer to you!" He hugged her amorously. "I really wish we could do something, but for now, we can only resist ourselves."

The two of them went to sleep in each other's arms.

Throughout the night, Heinz couldn't sleep well though, because he had to take cold showers from time to time. He realized it felt extra uncomfortable after separating himself from her for such a long period of time.

He wasn't sure if he could last through the entire pregnancy, as he felt like he was close to exploding.

As a result, early in the morning, he appeared with huge eye bags in front of everyone.

This caused Little Gary to criticize him further. "Were you not able to sleep well? It's probably because you did too many shameful things and felt guilty about it, right?"

It was only then that Grace noticed his panda eyes, causing her to frown, "You couldn't sleep well last night?"

He looked a little embarrassed. Of course, he couldn't sleep well; how could he when there was such a lovely figure in his arms?"

"It was still fine," he answered in a perfunctory manner.

"That's just a perfunctory answer. If you slept well, you wouldn't have gotten those eye bags," Little Gary said to him before turning to Grace. "Morning, Mommy."

She looked at her son, "Hurry up and have your breakfast. I'll be sending you and Ernest to the kindergarten later."

"Why?" He grew wary immediately.

"Because I feel so bored after staying at home for so long. I need to take a walk for my own health, and also pay more attention to you. Otherwise, you're going to accuse me of not caring about you enough once your little sibling is born."

She sounded so reasonable that Little Gary couldn't replace anything else to say.

"Alright then!"

They arrived at the kindergarten around 7.30 a.m.

When she met Miss Holland, she also met the little girl named Maria.

She looked just like a little fairy with her long hair tied up into a bun. She wore a white sweater with a pink skirt, as well as a pair of white leather shoes. She looked extremely beautiful.

She took a liking to this little girl as soon as she laid her eyes on her.

She could see the little girl all the way from outside of the classroom, as she was strikingly beautiful.

After Little Gary and Ernest entered the classroom, Miss Holland pointed Maria out to Grace.

"She's Maria Attwood. She normally goes by Maria."

Grace guessed correctly as this little girl looked so extraordinary with a delicate aura around her, as well as a beautiful little face. At the young age of five, she looked super cute as well, making Grace feel a strong affability towards her.

No wonder her son always tried bullying her. He probably just wanted to get her attention.

"What a beautiful child," Grace marveled at the

little girl.

"Yes, she's really beautiful," said Miss Holland. "Her mother is even more beautiful and elegant. She seems to be a really demure and refined woman."

"Really?" She smiled, "Ms. Holland, how about this? Has Maria's mother left already?"

"She just left. Before that, I told her that you were apologetic about what happened. She said it's alright, and that little kids will just have to get used to new environments," Miss Holland said with relief. "She's actually a very understanding parent. In fact, she found out from Maria that rather than bullying her, Little Gary just wanted to talk to her. She cried merely because she was frightened about it."

"Oh wow!" Grace startled, "The thing is, Little Gary didn't deny what he did. In fact, he admitted that he made Maria cry. It looks like she is a really kind girl. Can I have a word with her?"

"Of course," Miss Holland went inside and asked her to come out.

When the little girl came out, she looked surprised and slightly shy to see Grace as she smiled faintly.

Grace felt taken aback as she found her face to be oddly familiar.

It was as if they had met each other before.

She was momentarily stunned for a while and only regained her senses after Miss Holland nudged her. "Mrs. Smith?"

"Ah yes!" Grace composed herself immediately and looked at Maria.

"Nice to meet you, Auntie," Maria said in an adorable manner.

"Hello Maria," she squatted down in front of the little girl, feeling surprised.

Why did this little girl look similar to her cousin, Zachary?
