Early the next morning.
When Grace went downstairs, she saw a lot of food on the table which looked scrumptious.
She was surprised, but as she thought that the housekeeper had prepared them for Gary and Celeste, she didn't say anything.
Ernest brought Leah home early in the morning.
Breakfast in the Jones family would usually start at 7.30 a.m.
Sometimes, when Sebastian and Sylvia had to go to school, they would have breakfast earlier before they left. If Heinz were to go to the company, he would eat breakfast with Grace on time at 7.30 a.m.
Gary and Celeste also came down to have breakfast at 7.30 a.m. At that time, Ernest and Leah had already arrived.
When Grace saw the two of them coming home, she was very surprised and immediately asked happily, "You're back. I didn't know you two would come back today."
After saying that, she took Leah's hand and took her to the table enthusiastically.
"Aunt Grace, we decided to come back for breakfast last night," Leah said with a smile.
"Great, great. Come back any time you want," Grace replied.
Ernest also smiled and said, "Mom, we'll come back more often. How have you been these past two days?"
"That's good." When Grace saw Ernest and Leah home, she was in a good mood. She had had a rather good night's sleep too the previous night.
At that moment, the housekeeper said, "Madam, last night, Master Gary instructed me that Master Ernest and Miss Winston would be coming back for breakfast, so I prepared more food."
"Oh, so that's what it is." Grace suddenly came to a realization as she looked at Gary. "Did you brothers talk on the phone last night?"
Gary nodded. "That's right, mom. Since Ernest and Leah are free, they should come back. It's livelier when we are all here together."
"Then, don't leave anymore," Grace said to Leah and Ernest, "You should all stay at home, so that we can stay together every day. I won't have to worry about you so much either."
Leah did not know what to do, and she was thinking about how to refuse.
"Sylvia stays on campus, and she assured me that she won't mess around anymore," Grace said.
"Mom, it's not about Sylvia. It's our problem," said Ernest. "There're too many things going on outside these days. We'll deal with them first before we come back."
"What's the matter? Do you need your father's help?" Grace immediately looked at Heinz.
Heinz replied, "That's right. Just tell me if you need my help, there's no need to stand on ceremony."
"No, we can handle it." Ernest smiled and said, "Thank you, dad."
"Thank you, uncle." Leah immediately thanked him with a smile.
Heinz had already known long ago that it was about Hogan. Recently, the things between Rowane and Hogan had taken up most of Ernest's and Leah's time.
He had been watching the situation quietly. The situation was still within their control.
He also wanted to see Ernest's ability, so he had been observing in silence.
"We're family," Heinz said with a smile.
"Let's eat." Gary quickly said. He felt that if everyone continued to be so polite towards each other, the breakfast would probably turn cold.
"Let's eat," Grace said.
Only Grace, Heinz, Gary, Celeste, Ernest and Leah was at breakfast.
Sebastian had gone to school.
Gary, Celeste, Ernest and Leah went to the sun room after having their meal. They chatted together.
Grace was very gratified to see the young people in front of the window. She turned back and saw Heinz behind her.
When he saw Grace looking back, he immediately opened his arms and embraced her in his arms.
Grace felt very warm in her heart. She nestled in Heinz's arms and looked out of the window at her sons and their girlfriends. She said softly, "It feels so good. The children are all home!"
"It's a pity that Sylvia and Sebastian are still in school. If they were at home, it would be better." Heinz said, killing the mood once again.
"Although Sylvia assured me, it's still a question as to whether she can do it or not. I don't have any confidence in her at all," Grace immediately said.
Heinz said, "She should be able to do it."
Grace sighed and said, "I hope this child can keep her word and stop going back to her old self and create problems for her brothers. It's really embarrassing."
Heinz smiled and said, "Certainly. After all, she's living in campus now and have learned her lesson. Don't you have confidence in Sylvia?"
Grace shook her head and said, "I don't know either. I just hope Sylvia can do what she says."
