In an instant, Grace flushed.
It was too embarrassing to be reminded by a child.
Heinz glanced at his two sons and said, "Couldn't you see that I'm having a date with your mom? Stay away."
"Well, we can stay away," Little Gary said. "But don't you think you are being too irresponsible for leaving our stomachs empty?"
"Your food will arrive soon. Butler Holland is going to deliver it," Heinz said. "Check through the peephole before letting people in."
"That's more like it." Little Gary was finally satisfied and grabbed Ernest's hand. "Come on, Ernest. Let's go play."
"Okay!" Ernest and Little Gary went into the room and closed the door.
Still carried in Heinz's arms, Grace said helplessly, "Heinz! Put me down!"
"Nope!" he said in an overbearing manner.
Then, he proceeded to carry her into the bedroom. Without saying anything, he put her down, pinned her against the door, and kissed her.
Grace was in a daze. Heinz's emotion was at the verge of explosion
In less than a day, he had missed her so much.
Grace found that if it weren't for her menstruation, she would have been pushed on the bed instead.
Why was this man always acting on impulse?
Feeling a little painful, Grace let out a sigh.
Finally, she found a gap and quickly said, "How could you be like this? You came right in and began all of these without saying anything. You have gone too far!"
"Yeah, I've gone too far indeed." Then, he lowered his head again.
Grace held her hand over his mouth, glaring at him. "Hold on!"
Heinz looked at her with burning eyes, drawing his brows together.
Grace knew that she was no match for him in terms of strength.
However, Heinz did not continue. He kept his gaze on her.
"Simon Brown doesn't mean anything to me anymore. You don't have to be jealous," Grace said.
Heinz kissed her palm and said, "But he has been good to you in the past, and you also liked him."
"Heinz, who doesn't have a past? You're no exception," Grace said to him solemnly.
Heinz's expression froze. A look of surprise flashed across his eyes.
Grace smiled softly and added, "And I believe that, the past is the past. It doesn't matter anymore."
Heinz was stunned for a moment. His eyes, full of deep emotions, gradually became brighter.
"You really do understand?" he asked in a low, hoarse voice.
Smiling, Grace asked, her eyes shining brightly, "Understand what?"
"That my past is indeed the past."
"As long as you said it, I believe you," she said. "Perhaps, deep inside, there is longing in your heart. But I think that is understandable."
"No, there's no longing," Heinz corrected her in a deep voice. "It's all in the past."
Grace's eyes widened.
Afraid that Grace would not take his words, Heinz went one step further in his explanation. "It's not that kind of longing. I may recall those moments from time to time, but it's definitely not the same feeling as before."
"Yes, that's what I meant," Grace said. "I no longer feel the same toward Simon too. So I think you can understand me, just like I understand you."
Heinz stared at her, his gaze becoming even more gentle.
"Heinz, I'm trying to know you more," murmured Grace.
Heinz's eyes narrowed. He reached out and held Grace in his arms.
