"Sister, it's Heinz," Alice Smith lowered her voice and said. "How could it be Heinz? He's looking at you. He's been watching you all this while."
Of course Grace Smith saw the man standing in the distance.
More importantly, he was looking at her.
"Sister, is he looking for you?" Alice said again softly. "Should I leave first?"
Being aware of the circumstances, she decided to leave first. After all, it was inconsiderate to be the third wheel.
Alice locked her shoulders and walked past Grace.
Then, she hid in a nearby corner.
Grace suddenly came to her senses. When she looked for Alice, her sister had already disappeared.
She took a conscious breath, looked at Heinz, and averted her eyes.
Grace thought, "Since I have already made up my mind, why am I making myself more depressed?"
She quickly turned her head and walked towards the other end.
Watching her turn around and leave, the man realised that she was going to ignore him and he quickly raced over.
In a flash, he was by Grace's side. He reached out and grabbed her wrist.
He gripped it so tightly that Grace felt the pain.
Grace stopped, turned around to look at him, and said coldly, "Sir, please let go of me."
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Heinz Jones look at her with passionate eyes, as if he was looking at his lover.
It was like a gaze between a couple in love.
Grace found it ironic. She thought that he shouldn't be looking at her like that.
She didn't move or say anything. Instead, she just looked at him coldly.
"Grace," Heinz called her name in an exceptionally hoarse voice.
Hearing him call her in such a voice, Grace felt uncomfortable. She felt sad but still wore a look of indifference.
She was unmoved and her eyes did not even focus on Heinz. She did not look at him but just stared blankly at a random spot.
Heinz understood her attitude. He asked patiently, "Did you come to the hospital last night?"
As he said this, he stared at Grace's expression and found that her pupils had suddenly contracted.
Heinz knew that she had heard him.
He continued, "Did you see me holding a child?"
Grace was stunned again, but she still didn't say a word.
In fact, Heinz would rather Grace be angry at him, scold him, or yell at him. But she did none of that.
She was still impassive and did not even glance at him, which got him irritated.
Because he dared not get angry, he said helplessly and worriedly, "The child is not mine. He is my sister's child, my nephew."
Grace heard the straightforward explanation.
She was dumbfounded, as if she had never thought of that.
However, Grace was only momentarily speechless. There were other problems that concerned her.
He had broken up with her and they were already separated. She didn't think it was necessary to be together now.
She said faintly, "Sir, did you mistake me for somebody else?"
Her words almost drove Heinz mad.
He gritted his teeth and the veins on his forehead bulged violently. His eyes were tightly locked on hers. "Grace, what did you say?"
