True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 378

However, at the thought of Grace's health, he had no choice but to endure it.

Heinz Jones took a deep breath and moved his body away so that he was no longer pressing on her. Then, he hugged her shoulders instead.

The two of them hugged each other.

"Go to sleep," he said thoughtfully. Although he felt the desire burning in his chest, he still chose to endure it, "You should sleep too."

Grace Smith smiled slightly, secretly happy that he had stopped.

That was a good start.

Grace was no longer cautious of him. She opened her heart and leaned against his side. Then, she closed her eyes.

She fell asleep not long after, but the man beside her couldn't seem to fall asleep.

Heinz felt extremely depressed when he looked at the woman who was sleeping peacefully in his arms.

He sighed helplessly and closed his eyes.

At half-past eleven.

Grace woke up and felt that the man beside her was hugging her too tightly.

She opened her eyes and studied his handsome face. His strong jawline was covered with stubble. It

was unruly yet handsome.

The moment she moved a little, the man beside her frowned instantly. His hand instinctively clasped her waist tightly.

Grace was too frightened to move after that.

His big hand was placed overbearingly on her waist. Even though he was asleep, he could still hold her in such a domineering manner.

She wanted to remove his hand. However, seeing just how soundly he was sleeping, she was afraid to wake him up from his sleep.

She couldn't do anything for a while.

After some time, Grace tried to move his hand away gently. However, his hold on her was very strong and it took her a lot of effort to remove his hand from her body.

She got out of the bed quietly, then tiptoed to his side of the bed to cover him with the quilt. She blushed at the sight of his naked body and quickly covered it. Then, she picked up her clothes and put them on before leaving the room in a hurry.

Grace let out a sigh of relief once she reached the living room. She was so nervous just now.

She then shut the bedroom door behind her.

Grace then went to freshen herself in the other bathroom. Then, she went to the kitchen to prepare lunch.

She was preparing lunch when the phone rang.

When she went to check, she realized that it was Heinz's phone ringing, not hers. She looked at his phone and noticed that the caller was Jensen Charm.

Hence, Grace picked up the phone call.

"Hello, Officer Charm?" she greeted the caller.

"Grace?" Jensen said, a little surprised. Then, he laughed and asked, "Why are you answering the phone?"

"Yes, it's me," Grace replied, feeling a little awkward. She explained, "He is sleeping."

"At this hour?" Jensen asked. After he got over his initial surprise, he started to laugh. He seemed to be insinuating something.

Grace, who was quite embarrassed, replied, "Well, he didn't sleep last night."

"Oh? Did he not sleep last night?" Jensen dragged his speech as he mirrored her words. He laughed in glee before saying, "Please take care of your bodies. Both of you!"

"Officer Charm!" Grace was flustered. She felt even more embarrassed as her explanation seemed to have led to further misunderstanding. She said, "It's not what you think. Last night, Heinz went to the hospital to take care of the father of a friend who had passed away."

"A friend who had passed away?" Jensen was shocked. "Who is that?"

"Don't you know?" Grace thought it was rather strange. "I thought you would know. His surname is Lawson." "Lawson?" Jensen, who was a little frightened, sounded a little hesitant. "What happened?"

"I'm not sure," Grace said, "He was in the hospital yesterday and only came back early this morning. He just dozed off a while ago. I could help you pass a message to him."

"Oh, could you ask him to give me a call once he wakes up?" Jensen said, "There's something I need to talk to him about."

"Okay," Grace replied.

After hanging up the phone, she continued with her cooking.

Heinz woke up at 1 p.m. and realized that Grace was no longer on the bed with him. He immediately got up to look around. There seemed to be some noise from outside the bedroom.
