Grace was rendered beyond speechless.
After a while, she said, "If she goes to Jensen's place later, perhaps that would be considered progress."
"Grace," Heinz frowned as he did not understand Grace's train of thoughts. "Why are you not at all worried that your sister is going out with a man for the night?"
She took a look at him but did not say anything. She wanted to start cooking.
Even if Alice went with Jensen, it would not be a big deal. After all, trauma ran deep in Alice's heart. No one could tell whether her relationship with Jensen would develop.
Jensen didn't seem to be a bad guy. Grace just hoped that her sister could overcome herself, prevail over her trauma and began to trust men.
After Heinz rolled his eyes, he suddenly thought of something. He looked at Grace and said, "I finally understand why you are not worried about Alice going out with Jensen."
Grace ignored him.
Heinz said again, "I finally understand why Jensen thought the woman was you, but suddenly turned his eyes to your sister and asked her to be his girlfriend!"
Grace's heart jumped in shock and she looked up at Heinz.
"Because six years ago, Jensen had spent a night with Alice." Heinz said firmly, "That girl was your sister."
Grace took a deep breath. She stared at him in shock as she found him to be incredibly smart.
She had to admit that.
Grace then looked at his well- defined face with some helplessness in her eyes.
"And so, everything is happening as it should," Heinz said.
"Can you stop talking?" Grace lowered her voice and said, "The children might hear you."
"Sure." Heinz smiled and said, "I can stop talking about that, however..."
He paused and walked towards Grace.
In a flash, he was in front of her.
He hooked his arms around her waist again and inclined his head downwards to look at her. He asked, "Can I stay here tonight?"
"Heinz, don't push your luck," Grace warned in a low voice instantly.
"I always have to push my luck when it comes to you," Heinz said. "You make me insatiable."
Grace was so embarrassed and she scolded, "Can you be more serious?"
"I'm serious," he said, lifting up her chin with his slender fingers and forcing her shy gaze to land on him.
He added, "Woman, I want to sleep here. I'm
serious."
Grace gritted her teeth and her mind was in a mess. In an instant, she was bewitched by his husky voice and all logic left her mind.
However, she did not forget what was important.
"Heinz, don't tell Alice about what happened between them. Remember to never mention it. She's still traumatized," Grace reminded him.
Heinz was stunned. "Traumatized?"
Grace refused to elaborate, "Don't ask anymore."
She then shook away his hand.
But Heinz held her hand tightly.
Grace was a little dumbfounded.
"Since you find it hard to tell me, let me think. Your sister should be 17 years old that year, right?" Heinz asked.
"Stop it," Grace warned in a whisper.
Heinz lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "Alright, I'll stop. I promise you that I'll keep it a secret. But can you comfort me tonight? I really need you."
