Only until this very moment, Heinz was certain that Grace had known about his plan all along.
He shook his head and chuckled. Then, he looked at Grace and said, "I thought you didn't know. When did you find out?"
Grace tilted her head and looked at him with a smile. "When you brought back the wedding dress."
Grace told him what she knew.
"So early on?" Heinz felt helpless. "I wanted to give you a surprise so I've planned this in secret. Who would've thought you knew it all along."
"Yeah," Grace confessed. "I have been waiting all this while for you to tell me on your own, but you never did. If my guess is right, today’s our wedding day, isn’t it? I’m sure you've invited all our friends and family, but let me ask you this, Mr. Jones. Did you invite Hermione?"
"Hermione?" Heinz was puzzled. He seemed to have no idea who she was referring to.
But almost immediately, a person flashed across his mind and he asked, "Do you mean the chief editor from your magazine company, Hermione?"
"Yeah."
"Of course," Heinz said, "I've also invited Old Master Carter, Mr. Yarbrough, Zayne, Zachary, Aunt Nerissa, Maria, Alice, Jensen, Hermione, and even Tyler."
"You even invited Tyler?" Grace was quite surprised to hear his name on the list.
"Yeah, I did." Heinz would not let go of any opportunity to let his rival in love give up on pursuing his wife.
With this opportunity, he could officially introduce Grace as his wife to Tyler.
He could also incidentally show off the twins in Grace's belly.
Heinz firmly believed that Tyler would completely give up on pursuing Grace after that day.
If his memory served him right, ever since he and Grace went through fire and water and finally got together, Tyler hadn't bothered them any more.
Grace nodded and replied, "Okay then. Mr. Jones, would you be so kind as to open the door? I would like to try on the dress."
She didn't think too much about it and thought that it was good that he was invited. She had been friends with Tyler for a long time, it was good that he could witness her happiness.
Heinz opened the door and let her in.
Suddenly, Grace thought of something and asked, "Heinz, did you not invite your dad over?"
Heinz's entire body stiffened and his expression turned gloomy.
He was upset because he still hadn't been able to move past this hurdle in his heart.
Grace grew worried. "Heinz?"
"He doesn't need to attend, I don't need him to attend," Heinz said. "Grace, can you understand that I don't want him to be here at a time like this?"
She stared deeply at Heinz and nodded in the end. "I understand your feelings very well. If you don't want to, then so be it.
But I hope, from the bottom of my heart, that you can move past this hurdle. I already did. Compared to our happiness, none of these hurdles matter.
Especially after experiencing so many ups and downs, they are merely trifle ordeals in our lives.
That's all.
So why don't we throw all these worries away and cherish our future and happiness?
Heinz, you are a smart person, and you also know to cherish your blessings."
Heinz nodded as he stared at Grace. Then, he smiled and said, "Come on, I'll help you put on the dress."
Grace was taken aback. Seemed like the reason he was reluctant to bring up Lawrence was because of the damage that was done.
