Grace understood how the little fellow felt right away. Lowell, Heinz and her were similar.
"I understand." She nodded seriously and reached out to rub his head, "You are a benevolent child."
"Grace, can I really trust you?" Lowell didn't seem to be sure whether she was comforting him or not.
She was amused, but not angry, "What do you think? Apart from trusting me, do you have any other choice?"
At this moment, he smiled.
"I trust you, Grace." He was bashful. "I just don't quite believe my ears."
"Silly boy." She glanced at her watch and asked, "Have you finished your homework?"
"I'm done," Lowell answered. "I got full marks for my recent exams."
"Really?" Grace was really amazed. "A straight-A student?"
Upon hearing that, he felt even more embarrassed and mumbled, "Well, I'm not that great, but I know some knowledge."
"You're very excellent already!" She still gave him ample affirmation. "Now, it's up to you. I hope you continue to study hard, be a great student, and be invincible."
"I will try my best." he wasn't confident. He turned and saw Heinz coming. He didn't want to interrupt them, so he immediately got up and said to her, "Heinz is coming. I'm going to read books now."
She also saw Heinz. He had changed his clothes. There was a slothful look in his tall body. He looked very relaxed.
She nodded to Lowell and said, "Go ahead."
"Okay." Lowell greeted Heinz and left soon.
Heinz sat down beside Grace and asked softly, "What happened just now? Why did the children come to see you?"
"It's about Maria," she explained briefly.
He said, "It seems that this child is very filial. She knew that her grandma's health was not good and she wanted her to go for a checkup. She even accompanied her grandma to go to the hospital."
"This kind of child is very sensitive and insecure. The only relatives she has are Zachary and Aunt Nerissa. There is no news about Yvonne now. If her grandma is sick, she must be worried," Grace sighed. "I invited them to come over this weekend."
"This weekend?" Heinz was shocked.
"Yes, this weekend." Grace stared at him and was curious about his reaction. "They'll stay over for a few days."
He paused slightly and thought for a moment. He seemed to be considering the arrangements of the time. Finally, he agreed. "Okay, our house would be livelier too, but are they willing to come?"
"Zachary has promised to come." She continued, "I think he has been lonely for quite some time and wishes to be around people."
"Of course. We met one another at the banquet. When he knew that you were pregnant with twins, he looked so envious. I guess he must want a second child. You see him adoring Maria so much. He definitely still wants another baby."
"But can Zachary and Yvonne get back together?" Grace was really worried, "There is no news about Yvonne until now. When will she be back?"
"Just look for her," Heinz was very confident about this. "She will appear. As long as she is alive, there will be traces left."
"Have you sent someone to look for her?" She asked.
"Yes," he replied.
"I hope we can find her quickly." She was very
anxious.
He suddenly held her hand, and his grip was somewhat tight.
She was stunned and she looked up at him. She was drawn deeply into his eyes, and her face instantly turned slightly red.
She recalled what had happened in the room earlier. Although she had gathered up her courage, she still felt that she was very bold.
Heinz looked at her and said in a low, hoarse voice, "Go back to the room with me."
