"You wanted to send Grandma's ashes to Southland?" Heinz frowned. "Then, you won't need the cemetery that I contacted, will you?"
"We might not need it anymore," Grace said apologetically. "Zachary's arrival came too suddenly. We never knew that we had a cousin before this."
"You guys just knew that you have a cousin, and yet you guys are already addressing him as if you have known him for a very long time."
Heinz was amazed.
Did it only take such little skill to get Grace and Alice to acknowledge Zachary as their cousin?
It seemed that Zachary's charm was one of a kind.
Heinz felt somewhat envious. In the past, Alice had her guard up when she first met him. It took her a long time to acknowledge him as her brother-in-law.
"Alice acknowledged him first," Grace said. "In fact, there isn't anything bad about it since Grandma had acknowledged him first. We were merely following Grandma's opinion."
"I think, even without Grandma's opinion, you guys would still acknowledge this cousin of yours, wouldn't you?" Heinz said sourly.
Grace observed his expression and noticed his tone. She then fell speechless instantly.
"You seem to be jealous of my cousin too, aren't you?"
"Hmmph, I don't have to feel jealous. However, I feel that something is not right." Heinz said honestly, "I just find it irritating that Alice acknowledged him so quickly."
"There is fate between people," Grace said.
"Are you trying to say that we weren't fated in the beginning?" Heinz's envy became even more prominent.
Grace laughed out of amusement. Heinz was really childish.
Knowing that he cared about his image, she said, "Of course you and I were fated together. If not, what made you think that I would still be here after all those suffering?"
"Who knows!" Heinz snorted, "I still don't know whether you are staying with me because of the children or me."
"The end is the same, isn't it?"
"How can it be the same?" Heinz immediately disagreed. "It's two different standards for the children and me."
"In my opinion, it's the same for both," Grace said.
Heinz grabbed Grace again and pulled her into his arms. His handsome face was full of dissatisfaction.
"You are not paying attention to me as much."
Grace was dumbfounded. She had never thought that Heinz would be so childish.
Well, he had been behaving like that for the past few days. She was used to him being jealous.
Grace couldn't help laughing and she said, "How am I not paying attention to you?"
"You just don't," Heinz complained again.
Grace laughed as she placed her hands on his firm shoulders. "You are jealous over the kids."
"How could I be jealous?" Heinz frowned, saying, "You don't love me."
Grace paused again. In actuality, she hadn't taken notice of the matters related to love for some time.
She thought that since the children were born, she hadn't considered much about love.
She even felt that it was strange for Heinz to ask her that question.
It was kind of funny for Heinz to use the word "love".
Instead of answering him, Grace asked him back, "Do you love me?"
Heinz stared at her in a daze. After some time, he suddenly said in a deep voice, "You haven't answered me yet you are changing the topic by asking me another question. Hence, I'm not going to answer you."
After saying that, he pulled Grace's hand away and walked out angrily.
Grace was taken aback as she watched his disappearing figure at the door.
There was even a loud noise outside the door.
She sighed.
Did she love him?
Of course, she loved him. She felt happy to see him
and missed him when she couldn't meet him.
"This should be love," she thought.
After Heinz went out, he was still furious.
