Chapter 1293


    As soon as these words left his mouth, everyone was stunned.


    Everyone turned their eyes to Heinz.


    Meanwhile, Ernest was used to it. In the Jones family, his father loved his mother the most. In


    second ce was their fourth child, and his sons were inst ce.


    He had gotten used to the fact that no one was vying for his attention.


    Anyways, the sons loved their mother the most, which was understandable.


    Celeste also looked at Heinz in silence.


    She thought that a man admitting such a fact in public was very brave. He was still so confident


    even in front of his children. It was a rare sight.


    Maria was stunned and gave him a thumbs-up almost instantly. She said to Heinz with admiration,


    "Uncle, I must praise you."


    Heinz smiled and turned his eyes to Grace.


    Grace knew that she was blushing. It was really embarrassing for Heinz to show his love for her in


    public, especially since it was in front of everyone


    she knew.


    Moreover, Celeste was also by her side.


    Grace shot a coquettish nce at Heinz and said, "Are you crazy?"


    Heinz was smiling and his gaze was fixed on her. He said, "I''m not crazy. It''s the truth."


    "Aunt Grace is just shy," Maria saw Grace blushing and joked, "My dear uncle and aunt, can you


    two stop confessing your love to each other in front of us?"


    "What are you saying?" Heinzughed, "I''m supporting you, ain''t I? Yet you''re asking me to stop?"


    "No, of course not," Maria immediately shook her head, "I just have to admit that you''re really


    awesome, Uncle Heinz. My father has much to learn from you."


    "Your father?" Heinz said in disgust, "Your father is a quiet man. It''s impossible for him to confess


    such words in public."


    "Stop talking," Grace looked at Heinz, hinting at him to stop with her eyes.


    Heinz immediately nodded, his eyes full of affection. "Yes, madam."


    Maria watched her aunt and uncle flirting lovingly and making everyone jealous.


    "Alright, let''s stop talking about this. Let''s eat. Everyone is tired. After we finish eating, we should


    take a bath quickly and rest."


    "Yes, it''s time to rest," Hermione said, "I''ve been on the ne for more than ten hours. I''m so tired


    that my waist hurts."


    "Aunt Hermoine, you should take a hot bathter and have a good sleep. I''m sure you''ll be full of


    energy tomorrow."


    "I hope you''re right," Hermione nced at Heinz and Grace and sighed, "Heinz and Grace are


    unable to leave each other''s side. They just want to be together."


    Grace and Heinz were both stunned.


    Heinz raised his eyebrows andmented, "That''s a good conclusion. Hermione really hit the nail


    on the head."


    Hermione shook her head andughed, "I''ve known you two for so many years. Of course I know


    what you''re thinking."


    Grace was embarrassed and blushed a little.


    Nerissa, Yvonne, Maria and Ernest all nodded, and they all thought that the conclusion was very


    urate.


    "Let''s feast! If I say more, Grace might get upset," Hermioneughed, "Dig in."


    Everyone continued to eat.


    The atmosphere was harmonious. They all ate andughed together. Everyone seemed to be


    rxed.


    During supper, Celeste rarely spoke.


    She ate with everyone and felt their warmughter. She felt really envious.


    She looked at them quietly. Heinz was tall and strong. His handsome features were distinct and


    manly.


    Perhaps because he was on vacation, he did not wear a suit but instead wore casual clothes.


    Nevertheless, she could still feel his strong aura.


    His gaze was sharp and deep. When he looked into one''s eyes, one could not help but feel


    shocked.


    ... Or maybe it was because of her guilty conscience.


    Every time Celeste met Heinz''s gaze, she would feel a chill in her heart. Fear would rise


    involuntarily in her.


    She chose to stay because she wanted to take this opportunity to observe the man.


    She wanted to see if Heinz was really a man who would y around and abandon a woman.


    However, the more she looked at him, the less confident she became.


    After all, she found that Heinz''s eyes were always on Grace, and he doted on her very much.


    After so many years of marriage, he still cared so much about his wife. How could he be the kind of


    man who would abandon a woman after ying with her?


    Questions arose in her mind.


    Thinking about her aunt''s words, Celeste was confused again.


    Cindy had brought up Heinz''s name more than once. It was as if she didn''t want to give up on


    something, and as though she was trying to guard a prized possession from being taken away by


    others. Sometimes, she would sound like she regretted something. She would reminisce about the


    good times, but she would never question the memories from back then.


    Celeste lowered her gaze and made up her mind.


    She could not let Cindy buy a house here.


    It no longer mattered who Celeste really was.


    That was because Grace and Heinz looked like a match made in heaven.


    One of them was gentle, beautiful and kind, while the other was cold, determined yet oddly


    humorous. He only focused on his wife and wasn''t easily distracted.


    When she returned to her room, it was already two o''clock in the morning.


    Celesteid on the bed and received a phone call from her aunt.


    Celeste was surprised to receive Cindy''s call in the middle of the night. It made her feel a little


    puzzled. She had a bad premonition since her aunt was probably calling to ask about Heinz.


    Celeste hesitated for a moment and picked up the phone before saying softly, "Aunt?"


    "Have you seen Heinz?" Cindy asked directly.


    Celeste''s heart paced. Sure enough, Cindy was asking about Heinz.


    "Aunt, why are you asking me this?" Celeste asked calmly.


    She didn''t like Cindy asking about this. In Celeste''s opinion, even if there was something between


    Cindy and Heinz, it was all in the past.


    After so many years, she should learn to let go of him.


    Now, it was inappropriate to disturb Heinz, who had been married for many years.


    The desire to stop Cindy from being so obsessed with Heinz grew stronger especially after Celeste


    witnessed Heinz and Grace''s love for each other


    that night.


    Cindy''s tone was instantly unpleasant after being rebutted, "I''m asking you a question. Is it so


    difficult for you to answer me? Just tell me if you''ve seen him or not. Why are you questioning me


    back?"


    Hearing her aunt''s angry tone, Celeste paused for a moment. She had gotten used to her aunt''s


    unpleasant words


    "Why do you think I''m questioning you?" Celeste''s tone was not sharp, but there was a hint of fury


    as well.


    It was only then that Cindy realized that something was amiss.


    In the past, she would have scolded the child already.


    But today, she didn''t.


    All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org.


    With that, Cindy tried to control her anger.


    She repeated herself patiently, "I''m just asking if Heinz is there."


    "This doesn''t have anything to do with you," Celeste remarked lightly, "It''ste. Even if you don''t


    want to sleep, I need to go to sleep."


    She wanted to hang up the phone.


    However, Cindy shouted at her, "I dare you to hang up the phone."


    Celeste froze for a moment. She took a deep breath and reminded Cindy, "Aunt, it''s two o''clock in


    the morning now."


    "I know it''s two o''clock in the morning. Once you answer me, it''ll be over, won''t it?" Cindy had no


    intention of giving up until Celeste answered.


    Celeste knew Cindy''s temper. She would have to answer even if she didn''t want to.


    She gave it some thought before replying, "Mr. Heinz is here. He is very affectionate with his wife.


    We had supper together, and Mr. Heinz gave all his attention and love to Mrs. Grace. They are a


    pair made in heaven, it makes people envious."


    Her words were a form of inspiration and a hidden reminder.


    Celeste thought that if her aunt was smart, she would stop asking.


    However, Cindy only sneered, "A pair made in heaven?"


    Celeste insisted, "Yes, they are a pair made in heaven. They are very affectionate as they love each


    other very much. Other people won''t be able to disturb them."


    Hearing this, Cindy frowned and realized that Celeste was acting very weird tonight.


    She actually dared to refute her and kept emphasizing that Heinz had a good rtionship with


    Grace. Was she hinting at something?


    Unless Celeste knew something.


    Cindy thought about it carefully. That couldn''t be, right?


    While she was thinking, she heard Celeste''s cold voice from the phone saying, "Aunt, can I hang up


    the phone now?"


    When Cindy heard her, she was furious and roared, "What kind of attitude is that?"


    Celeste was stunned by Cindy''s question. Now that she thought about it, she really had a


    particrly bad attitude towards her aunt. She rposed herself and said again, "Aunt, it''ste.


    You should go to sleep."


    From Cindy''s point of view, this was perfunctory.


    She was unable to ept Celeste''s attitude and uttered coldly, "What''s wrong with you today? Why


    are you talking to me so impolitely?"


    Celeste didn''t want to quarrel with Cindy again. She just said, "Sorry, I''m sleepy and I want to


    sleep."


    "I''ll ask you again," Ignoring what Celeste said, Cindy continued, "Is Heinz in the house now?"


    Celeste did not speak.


    "Did he not stay in a hotel?" Cindy asked forcefully again.


    If this went on, there was no way to end the call.


    Celeste felt helpless. She was blunt and advised immediately, "Aunt, I don''t think you should buy a


    house here."


    "Why?" Cindy cried out in confusion after Celeste changed the topic.
