As soon as these words left his mouth, everyone was stunned.
Everyone turned their eyes to Heinz.
Meanwhile, Ernest was used to it. In the Jones family, his father loved his mother the most. In second place was their fourth child, and his sons were in last place.
He had gotten used to the fact that no one was vying for his attention.
Anyways, the sons loved their mother the most, which was understandable.
Celeste also looked at Heinz in silence.
She thought that a man admitting such a fact in public was very brave. He was still so confident even in front of his children. It was a rare sight.
Maria was stunned and gave him a thumbs-up almost instantly. She said to Heinz with admiration, "Uncle, I must praise you."
Heinz smiled and turned his eyes to Grace.
Grace knew that she was blushing. It was really embarrassing for Heinz to show his love for her in public, especially since it was in front of everyone
she knew.
Moreover, Celeste was also by her side.
Grace shot a coquettish glance at Heinz and said, "Are you crazy?"
Heinz was smiling and his gaze was fixed on her. He said, "I'm not crazy. It's the truth."
"Aunt Grace is just shy," Maria saw Grace blushing and joked, "My dear uncle and aunt, can you two stop confessing your love to each other in front of us?"
"What are you saying?" Heinz laughed, "I'm supporting you, ain't I? Yet you're asking me to stop?"
"No, of course not," Maria immediately shook her head, "I just have to admit that you're really awesome, Uncle Heinz. My father has much to learn from you."
"Your father?" Heinz said in disgust, "Your father is a quiet man. It's impossible for him to confess such words in public."
"Stop talking," Grace looked at Heinz, hinting at him to stop with her eyes.
Heinz immediately nodded, his eyes full of affection. "Yes, madam."
Maria watched her aunt and uncle flirting lovingly and making everyone jealous.
"Alright, let's stop talking about this. Let's eat. Everyone is tired. After we finish eating, we should take a bath quickly and rest."
"Yes, it's time to rest," Hermione said, "I've been on the plane for more than ten hours. I'm so tired that my waist hurts."
"Aunt Hermoine, you should take a hot bath later and have a good sleep. I'm sure you'll be full of energy tomorrow."
"I hope you're right," Hermione glanced at Heinz and Grace and sighed, "Heinz and Grace are unable to leave each other's side. They just want to be together."
Grace and Heinz were both stunned.
Heinz raised his eyebrows and commented, "That's a good conclusion. Hermione really hit the nail on the head."
Hermione shook her head and laughed, "I've known you two for so many years. Of course I know what you're thinking."
Grace was embarrassed and blushed a little.
Nerissa, Yvonne, Maria and Ernest all nodded, and they all thought that the conclusion was very accurate.
"Let's feast! If I say more, Grace might get upset," Hermione laughed, "Dig in."
Everyone continued to eat.
The atmosphere was harmonious. They all ate and laughed together. Everyone seemed to be relaxed.
During supper, Celeste rarely spoke.
She ate with everyone and felt their warm laughter. She felt really envious.
She looked at them quietly. Heinz was tall and strong. His handsome features were distinct and manly.
Perhaps because he was on vacation, he did not wear a suit but instead wore casual clothes. Nevertheless, she could still feel his strong aura.
His gaze was sharp and deep. When he looked into one's eyes, one could not help but feel shocked.
... Or maybe it was because of her guilty conscience.
Every time Celeste met Heinz's gaze, she would feel a chill in her heart. Fear would rise involuntarily in her.
She chose to stay because she wanted to take this opportunity to observe the man.
She wanted to see if Heinz was really a man who would play around and abandon a woman.
However, the more she looked at him, the less confident she became.
After all, she found that Heinz's eyes were always on Grace, and he doted on her very much.
After so many years of marriage, he still cared so much about his wife. How could he be the kind of man who would abandon a woman after playing with her?
Questions arose in her mind.
Thinking about her aunt's words, Celeste was confused again.
Cindy had brought up Heinz's name more than once. It was as if she didn't want to give up on something, and as though she was trying to guard a prized possession from being taken away by others. Sometimes, she would sound like she regretted something. She would reminisce about the good times, but she would never question the memories from back then.
Celeste lowered her gaze and made up her mind.
She could not let Cindy buy a house here.
