Heinz could not deny that Sebastian was smart with a sharp instinct and good observation skills.
Heinz nodded. "Yes, I'm heading to the office now. Anyway, I've told you my thoughts, and I believe that you can do very well. It's the best choice not to fall in love. And even if you do, we won't interfere too much. We just hope that you can make your own decisions in life."
"Thanks for your understanding and support, Dad. I don't know what's going to happen in the future, but I hope that I'll be able to handle things well and not regret anything when I look back on my life," Sebastian replied.
"Saying something like that shows that you're already a very mature young man. It's really mature of you to be able to think for the other person," said Heinz approvingly.
Heinz nodded with admiration. He truly felt that Sebastian might be much more mature than him. It was impressive that Sebastian could actually restrain himself from falling in love, especially at such an age.
Once again, Heinz felt embarrassed. He had been too emotional. He wanted to be an open-minded father, yet he got laughed at by his own son.
Heinz felt that he was actually the immature one between them. He smiled bitterly and said, "I'll be heading off then. You can continue studying."
After Heinz left Sebastian's room, he went to check on Grace and saw that she was already asleep.
He smiled to himself. She said that she was not going to sleep, yet there she was, sound asleep. She must have been exhausted. She had been really tired throughout the whole pregnancy.
Heinz looked at Grace lovingly, then left.
When he finished work later that day, he quickly went back home.
When he entered the house, Grace was walking around in the hall downstairs. She could not go out for a walk because of the cold weather, so she was walking around in the house.
As soon as Heinz arrived, he went toward her and gave her a big hug.
Smiling, Grace hugged him back and said in a gentle tone, "You're home."
"Yeah," Heinz whispered in her ear. "I left at noon. You were asleep, and I didn't want to wake you up."
Hearing that, Grace smiled awkwardly. "I was too sleepy earlier. I wasn't planning on sleeping, but I still dozed off."
"That's okay. It's good that you got to get more sleep. Just sleep if you feel tired." Heinz stepped back a little as he looked at her with an affectionate gaze. "Go and eat if you're hungry. Whatever you feel like eating, just ask the kitchen staff to prepare them for you."
"Okay," Grace's replied, smiling as she nodded. "I'm not feeling hungry now."
Because she had slept for the whole afternoon, she was very energetic at that moment.
Heinz was also delighted to see her looking much more energetic. "You look so much better after a nap."
"You can tell?" Grace asked, beaming.
"Yes, I can." Heinz held her hand and led her to the sofa to sit down. "Rest for a while first. I'll go upstairs to change my clothes, then I'll take a walk with you."
"Go ahead. There's no need to rush. You must be tired from work."
It was rare for Grace to be so considerate.
Heinz smiled tenderly. "I'm not tired. Everything has been going smoothly recently, so I don't have much to worry about."
"Still, you should get some rest. We'll be having dinner soon," Grace said.
"Okay then."
After ten minutes, Heinz came down. It had taken him five minutes for a quick shower, then another five minutes to get dressed. He came down straight after.
Looking at his half- dried hair, Grace knew that Heinz had rushed down to accompany her before even drying his hair properly.
