Chapter 536

"You wanted to send Grandma's ashes to Southland?" Heinz frowned. "Then, you won't need the

cemetery that I contacted, will you?"

"We might not need it anymore," Grace said apologetically. "Zachary's arrival came too suddenly. We

never knew that we had a cousin before this."

"You guys just knew that you have a cousin, and yet you guys are already addressing him as if you

have known him for a very long time."

Heinz was amazed.

Did it only take such little skill to get Grace and Alice to acknowledge Zachary as their cousin?

It seemed that Zachary's charm was one of a kind.

Heinz felt somewhat envious. In the past, Alice had her guard up when she first met him. It took her a

long time to acknowledge him as her brother-in-law.

"Alice acknowledged him first," Grace said. "In fact, there isn't anything bad about it since Grandma

had acknowledged him first. We were merely following Grandma's opinion."

"I think, even without Grandma's opinion, you guys would still acknowledge this cousin of yours,

wouldn't you?" Heinz said sourly.

Grace observed his expression and noticed his tone. She then fell speechless instantly.

"You seem to be jealous of my cousin too, aren't you?"

"Hmmph, I don't have to feel jealous. However, I feel that something is not right." Heinz said honestly, "I

just find it irritating that Alice acknowledged him so quickly."

"There is fate between people," Grace said.

"Are you trying to say that we weren't fated in the beginning?" Heinz's envy became even more

prominent.

Grace laughed out of amusement. Heinz was really childish.

Knowing that he cared about his image, she said, "Of course you and I were fated together. If not, what

made you think that I would still be here after all those suffering?"

"Who knows!" Heinz snorted, "I still don't know whether you are staying with me because of the

children or me."

"The end is the same, isn't it?"

"How can it be the same?" Heinz immediately disagreed. "It's two different standards for the children

and me."

"In my opinion, it's the same for both," Grace said.

Heinz grabbed Grace again and pulled her into his arms. His handsome face was full of dissatisfaction.

"You are not paying attention to me as much."

Grace was dumbfounded. She had never thought that Heinz would be so childish.

Well, he had been behaving like that for the past few days. She was used to him being jealous.

Grace couldn't help laughing and she said, "How am I not paying attention to you?"

"You just don't," Heinz complained again.

Grace laughed as she placed her hands on his firm shoulders. "You are jealous over the kids."

"How could I be jealous?" Heinz frowned, saying, "You don't love me."

Grace paused again. In actuality, she hadn't taken notice of the matters related to love for some time.

She thought that since the children were born, she hadn't considered much about love.

She even felt that it was strange for Heinz to ask her that question.

It was kind of funny for Heinz to use the word "love".

Instead of answering him, Grace asked him back, "Do you love me?"

Heinz stared at her in a daze. After some time, he suddenly said in a deep voice, "You haven't

answered me yet you are changing the topic by asking me another question. Hence, I'm not going to

answer you."

After saying that, he pulled Grace's hand away and walked out angrily.

Grace was taken aback as she watched his disappearing figure at the door.

There was even a loud noise outside the door.

She sighed.

Did she love him?

Of course, she loved him. She felt happy to see him

and missed him when she couldn't meet him.

"This should be love," she thought.

After Heinz went out, he was still furious.

He felt devastated. Firstly, Grace was not mad that Jodie's parents were still alive. She wasn't even

angry that he was still taking care of Jodie's parents.

Either that woman was not angry or jealous, or that she was too benevolent.novelbin

Or perhaps, she had never put him in her heart.

Besides, he always felt that Grace was not entirely bothered about him.

Therefore, he hoped that Grace would be more concerned about him.

However, there were many obvious signs that Grace didn't pay enough attention to him.

He felt downhearted.

Grace sat in the room for a while before standing up and leaving.

The moment she stepped out, she found Heinz standing and fuming in the corridor.

She felt that he was behaving in a really childish manner.

Heinz's ears shot up when he heard the door open and he listened to the sounds behind him.

Grace walked over and saw his back figure. He didn't intend to look back at her.

Grace's brows were knitted together. She went over and reached out to hold his hand.

Heinz stiffened, and his whole body tensed up.

He was about to hold Grace's hand, but the moment he held her hand, Grace said, "I'm hungry. How

about you?"

Heinz froze again and shook off Grace's hand. He replied hastily, "I'm not hungry. I'm still full."

"Alright." Grace’s reaction was nonchalant. "If you are not hungry, I'll go eat with the children then. I'm

famished."

"Grace!" Heinz couldn't help growling when he saw that she was about to leave.

Grace turned back and gazed at him calmly. She asked, "What's the matter this time?"

"Must you piss me off?" Heinz was honest with his thoughts.

Grace shook her head, saying, "No, I'm not trying to piss you off. How can I make you angry? You are

overthinking it."

This man was more complicated than any woman. Grace couldn't hold her laughter anymore. She

found it hilarious that he turned into a sour man.

The lips on her calm face twitched as she tried not to laugh.

Heinz was in a daze for a moment. Then, he pulled Grace into his arms and said, "You are a liar. You

did it on purpose."

"Haha!" Grace guffawed, "President Heinz, you pout just like a woman. I'm really at a loss for words."

"Hmph. You are the one who made me angry," Heinz felt rather helpless.

"Let's go eat." Grace patted him and said, "If you don't go with me, then you can eat on your own. I'm

about to starve to death now."

Grace hurriedly escaped from Heinz's embrace and rushed to look for the children.

Little Gary and Ernest were outside talking with each other softly with their heads buried down.

Grace walked over and heard a few sentences.

"I don't like younger sisters. I think having younger brothers is better. If Mommy gives birth to two

younger brothers, then we can form a sports team!" Little Gary said.

"I don't like younger brothers though," Ernest replied. "I hope it's two younger sisters. Mommy loves

twins. Next time, they'll definitely be twins!"

"I think having a younger brother is better," Little Gary said, "We can play football together."

"Younger sisters can play too."

"Younger sisters only know how to cry."

"But Gary, if we want a younger brother, no one would go shopping with Mommy."

"I'll go with her," Little Gary said aggressively. "Can't we both accompany her instead?"

"But don't you pity Mommy for not having a daughter?"

"It's up to fate." Little Gary finally said, "Anyway, it's all up to fate on Mommy's next child. We are just

talking for fun!"

"Daddy wanted to bully Mommy again just now."

"You didn’t do anything about it?"

"I pulled them apart. If I don't pull him away, he'll kiss Mommy again."

"He's really annoying."

"If Mommy doesn't find him annoying, there's no point for you to be annoyed with him."
