"Do you both think it's going to be a brother? Or a sister?" When Heinz heard his two sons speak, he wondered. "Sincerity makes things work out. All of you should look forward to having a girl this time. It'd be best to have two daughters."
"Do you think that we don't want that?" Little Gary immediately retorted. "The problem is that Mommy's belly probably can't give birth to a daughter."
"I also think that the baby in Mommy's belly is a little brother, not a little sister." Ernest also showed his attitude. "Mommy doesn't look like she's pregnant with a girl. I agree with Little Gary. Mommy probably won't be able to give birth to a little sister."
"Why can't your mommy give birth to a younger sister?" Heinz frowned and asked.
These two children both thought that the child in Grace's belly was their younger brother, which was really annoying. If they had another son, wouldn't he go against Heinz too? Where would his dignity as a father be?
Little Gary looked at him and said coldly, "Because you don't look like you can have a daughter?"
Heinz was speechless, and his eyes were full of helplessness. "You brat, can you stop teasing me like this?"
"It was you who asked why Mommy can't have a daughter. I could have not responded to you." Little Gary snorted and pulled Ernest with him to look at Timothy and said, "Alleged Grandpa, thank you for the toys. Let's go play first. You guys can talk."
"Oh! Okay." Timothy reacted. Looking at the two lovely children who had just gone against Heinz, he sighed in his heart. These children were too smart. They understood everything, and matured early. He felt comforted yet sad in his heart.
He knew that Grace had given birth to these children out of wedlock. The news had reported that she took the children when she got together with Heinz. He had read all this in his office that afternoon and also knew how difficult it had been for her over these years.
The more he thought about how she had it hard, the more he felt that he was wrong. He had not done his best over the past few years. If he could take responsibility, maybe these hardships would not have happened.
Thinking of it, he felt sorry for Candace, but now, it was too late to say anything.
He looked at the children walking off to play with the toys hand in hand, and his eyes were bursting with warmth. Then, he looked at Grace and Heinz and sighed. "These two children are seriously smart. Is the one going against you the older one?"
"Yes." Heinz nodded. "That kid has been wandering outside with Grace all these years. He refuses to call me Dad even now. He keeps telling me that I am irresponsible, so he doesn't acknowledge me, but I can understand."
"It's fine as long as he has a good relationship with his mother. As his father, we can take it slowly in the future. I'll let the kid accept me in time."
Timothy felt the same. He was also an irresponsible father. He didn't expect to meet Grace and her children. Fortunately, Heinz and Grace had raised them well.
"Thank goodness the two of you met within five years. Otherwise, you would regret it for the rest of your life." He looked at Heinz emotionally.
Both Heinz and Grace understood what he meant. He was talking about himself.
When he and Candace met again, she was already married to Anderson.
It was his lifelong regret, which he would hold on
to for life.
Grace pursed his lips and did not want to talk about Candace any more. She just said, "If fate deems it so, two people will meet again. If they're not fated to, they have no choice but to separate. Fate is natural, so you don't have to force it."
Timothy was stunned and immediately nodded. "Yes, what you said is right, Grace."
