True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 534

Ernest raised his head to look at Grace in confusion. His pair of big eyes were wet from the tears, making him look more adorable. He was a pretty child, thus his eyes were able to melt people's hearts.

Grace hugged him tightly and gently caressed his back.

"Mommy, I'll take care of you in the future. Both Gary and I will take care of you." Ernest struggled out from Grace's embrace, saying, "Mommy, wait for me."

Heinz felt comforted but sour at the same time. "Hey kiddo, taking care of Mommy is my duty."

"You are not doing it well," Ernest spat, and then, he was gone.

Heinz felt hurt again and he looked at Grace.

Grace was also gazing back at him.

"Are you happy?" Heinz asked.

"I'm happy," Grace nodded. "He has been so protective of me instead of blaming me. I'm glad but guilty at the same time."

"As the saying goes, blood is thicker than water," Heinz said.

As he said that, he nudged Grace's butt to the side and grabbed Grace by her waist fiercely. He pulled her into his embrace and hugged her tightly.

"Not too tight," Grace reminded him.

"No wonder people said that mothers are the best in the world. It turned out to be true," Heinz said. "There's an affinity between a mother and her son. You and your sons are the perfect examples."

"Are you not happy?" Grace asked as she pulled herself away from Heinz's broad chest. She raised her eyebrows at Heinz's displeased look. "Why do I feel that you are jealous?"

"I am jealous. The child that I raised is standing on the same battle line with you and is annoyed with me."

"Do you really think that you don't deserve to be rejected?" Grace asked indifferently.

Heinz was flustered and hung his head low instantly. He said, "Alright, fine. I deserve it. I didn't do my duty well."

Although Heinz admitted it, he felt an unspeakable bitterness and loss in his heart to see the son that he had raised blaming him.

"Alright, don't be childish anymore." Grace laughed when she noticed that he was feeling downcast. She patted his shoulder and said, "To be frank, Heinz, you did a good job of raising Ernest. Instead, I am the one that didn't do it well. That's why the child isn't able to express his feelings confidently due to his insecurities, but overall, Ernest is doing great. Thank you, Heinz."

Heinz was dumbfounded as he looked at Grace. She was thanking him instead.

"Both of them dislike me," Heinz said, sounding very aggrieved. "These two kiddos are starting to be annoyed with me more and more. They are acting

like they are my father and I'm their son."

"You are a son in the first place," Grace burst into laughter. There were some hints of ridicule in her words, thus Heinz's face darkened. She quickly continued, "But you are your father's son, and they are your sons. This fact will never change. If it does, it would be against human nature."

"You are ridiculing me," Heinz pulled Grace into his arms again and held her tightly. He didn't want to let her go as he moved closer towards her. His deep voice whispered into her ears, "Do you know the consequences of mocking me?"

"What?" Grace didn't seem to be afraid of anything as she looked into Heinz's flaming eyes boldly. Then, she suddenly panicked.

Heinz's handsome face was close in front of her eyes.

The gap between their lips was only five centimeters apart. If he moved closer by just a bit, he could kiss Grace.
