"Yeah." Mr. Yarbrough nodded and sighed. "As long as you're all fine, there's nothing more I want."
After all, he was an old man then, and there was nothing else he would ask for. His only wish was that all his children lived peacefully and happily.
Heinz was also a father, and he was soon going to have a total of six children.
Hence, he naturally understood his father-in-law's thoughts.
Every parent loved their child.
"Dad, Zayne knows what he's doing." Heinz comforted him.
Timothy sighed and whispered, "Grace is fine, and I understand why you're doing this. You yielded just now just to avoid an argument with Zayne. Sorry to trouble you, Heinz."
"Mr. Yarbrough, I don't think it's a trouble for him. Honestly, it's maturity." Jensen had a different opinion.
Timothy looked at Jensen in slight surprise before he nodded his head in a sudden agreement. "You're right. Heinz has proven that by yielding to
Zayne just now. He's indeed more mature now."
Many people refused to admit defeat as they felt that their ego was the most important thing.
If one knew when to preserve their dignity and when to fold, that was a sign of true maturity.
Heinz had grown up.
Timothy knew that Heinz had taken a huge hit to his pride by admitting defeat.
He looked at Heinz apologetically, thinking that Zayne indeed crossed the line that day.
He shouldn't have treated Heinz like that.
Heinz noticed the apology and guilt in Timothy's eyes and immediately comforted him, "Dad, let's go for dinner. It's time. Grace has prepared a lot of nice food today, so we should have a small reunion.
"All right then." After that, Timothy did not say anything else.
Meanwhile, Zayne went to look for Grace after he left the room.
Grace stood up immediately after seeing Zayne and they both headed to the garden.
Grace had always been kind to Zayne as she could feel the respect and admiration Zayne had for her.
Since Zayne was good to her, she naturally was the same to him.
"You've been staring at me from afar once you left the guest room. Is there something you want to privately talk to me about?" Grace asked her brother softly as she looked at him.
"It seems like I can't hide anything from you, huh?" Zayne smiled and had Grace sit down on a recliner in the garden. Both of them sat there comfortably in the silence, and everything was wonderful then.
"Ah, so you do have something to say to me." Grace chuckled. "Well, let's hear it."
"I might have accidentally hurt Heinz's feelings earlier." Zayne admitted to Grace honestly. "I didn't spare him any mercy."
Grace was stunned and burst into laughter. "What? You and Gary are the same. Can you still not get over the fact that I'm Heinz's second wife?"
"He's not good enough for you," Zayne said bluntly.
"Zayne, you haven't been married before, so you don't really know what's going on. A marriage really isn't all that it seems on the surface, and you might not see how happy someone is on the inside." Grace tilted her head and smiled at her brother. "Heinz and I are very happy together."
"I know that you don't care about being his second wife, and I shouldn't be so hung up on it, but what I want to say is that I've changed my opinion of him today." Zayne subconsciously smiled as he spoke.
Grace laughed out loud. "Oh? Is that so? Now that's something I'd like to hear about."
Zayne lowered his gaze to look at the tiny blades of grass by his feet. He laughed at himself and said, "Well, I wanted to fight with him today, but he refused to do so."
"Wow!" Grace was astonished for a second before she leaned in closer to Zayne and glanced at him, looking concerned. "Zayne, are you in love?"
Zayne froze, and he looked like a deer caught in the headlight.
Grace understood what was going on right away.
That was a whole new development.
Zayne was in love.
Otherwise, how could he have such a cute expression on his face?
Grace was overjoyed and she grinned at her brother. "So you've gone and found yourself a girlfriend! Finally! Do you know how worried dad has been for you staying single?"
Zayne raised his head and looked at his sister, looking slightly embarrassed.
Grace's smile softened at Zayne's expression. "Oh gosh, you look so cute now."
"Grace, it's not what you think." Zayne quickly schooled his expression and smiled at Grace. "I'm not dating anyone."
"Even if you're not dating anyone, something similar has happened, right? You've got your eyes on someone, Zayne. I can see it for sure," Grace said confidently.
