Chapter 2243
Heinz could tell that Grace seemed to be optimistic about the matter, which surprised him. Based on his understanding of her before that, he thought she would be opposed to it.
Yet, she seemed to have quite a good impression on Claudia after that day's dinner.
It seemed that she wanted Claudia to be Sebastian's girlfriend.
"Honey, what are you thinking?" Heinz approached Grace and asked tentatively.
"It doesn't matter what I think. The point is that you don't reject or oppose it either, isn't it?" She glanced at him coldly before saying, "Since we could reach at an agreement, don't be too harsh on the children then."
"Okay." He nodded and sighed, "I just feel that Sebastian is being strange to Claudia."
"Well let it go with the flow." she sighed, "He's a smart child. Can't you see that he doesn't want us to be involved? The more we meddle, the more the situation wouldn't go our way. It would bring about the opposite outcome."
"I can tell that he is furious that I meddled in his affairs." He nodded and frowned. He thought for a while and said, "Moreover, it's very likely that it's because I tested him yesterday, which made his attitude toward Claudia even worse today."
"So, take this as a lesson not to meddle anymore." Grace felt that the children had grown up and that they should give them more respect.
"I think we should respect them, but we still need to give them advice. They can choose if they want to take our advice. What if nothing good comes out of it if we don't intervene?" Heinz said.
She was stunned as she stared into his eyes and said, "Why do I feel like you are being nosy and secretly want to manipulate them?"
To her, he had always been someone who liked being in control of everything.
He had always been one with hyper-masculinity.
That was why she thought his parenting style to be a little old-fashioned.
It meant that he liked controlling everything the children did and enjoyed guiding them very much.
"Is that so?" Heinz coughed and cleared his throat, looking a little unnatural.
Grace knew that she was on the spot about his thoughts.
She glanced at him and said, "Well, you still have more than ten years to control the twin's life. Or, at least, you could for five years. So, you won't have much leisure time. Just don't worry about Sebastian and Sylvia. They will be fine."
His shoulders drooped after she saw through him as he was feeling helpless.
Fortunately, they still had the twins coming soon.
At least in the next fifteen years, those two little fellas would be all listening to his arrangement.
Thinking of that, he somehow felt comforted still.
Taking a deep breath, he nodded and said to her, "We shouldn't worry too much about this matter. After all, the children are still quite young, as long as they don't go astray, it's fine."
"That's right." She sighed. "They are actually all very smart. They know what to do. I believe they wouldn't go onto the wrong path, so all we have to do is respect them. If we go too far, they might be more rebellious and dare to do something out of line."
"So, rather than that, we just have do as you say, to wait and see." He held her shoulders and said, "Honey, let me serve you for your shower before we go to bed."
Grace smiled and said, "Indeed I would need that, I almost fell when I took a shower last night."
"What?" Hearing that, Heinz was shocked. "Why didn't you tell me of such a big matter last night?"
"If I told you, could you still sleep?" She said, "I'm afraid you will take me straight to the hospital or ask the doctor to come over."
He had to agree that that would indeed be his first reaction if he was in that situation, as he had to make sure she was all right. He would send her to the hospital to get checked.
"Are you okay?" He looked at her, and his face turned pale as he was so scared.
Everything else was no longer significant to him as he stared into her eyes anxiously.
"I'm fine. Look at me now. I only got a mild shock." Grace held his hand and said, "Let's go. This time, you help me in and out."
"I'll take care of you all the way," Heinz said firmly.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
How could he let it happen again?
He must keep an eye on her at all times from then on.
"From now on, you can't take a shower when I am not home, so I must be there personally every time you take a shower, okay?" he said in all seriousness.
He carefully helped her into the bathroom.
"You don't have to be so nervous. You're making me stressed." She was afraid that he would be too cautious.
"Better to be safe than sorry," he said.
"I know, but I am already very careful," Grace said, "Don't be so nervous. It's better to let nature take its course. I promise I'll be careful from now on." "Well, you still can only take a shower when I am at home. I will take care of you." Heinz was very determined.
She knew that she couldn't defeat him, so she just let him do what he wanted.
In Sebastian's room.
Just as he was polishing the dishes and was ready to go downstairs, a knock sounded on his door again.
He opened the door with his empty hand, while his other hand held on to the empty dishes.
When he saw Sylvia, he frowned, and his handsome face immediately turned cold. "Is there anything else?"
She stared at him for a while, looking deep into his eyes. He seemed displeased, and that emotion was surging within him.
She pursed her lips and said, "I just want to ask if you have already discussed this with dad and mom. So, are you not going to Claudia's place tomorrow?" "I won't go," he replied.
"Sebastian." She narrowed her eyes as she looked at him, and after a long while, she said, "We came out of mom's belly together. We should be the closest people in the world. So, trust me. I know Claudia means something to you. I can see how you treat her differently."
He remained expressionless and said coldly, "If you have this much free time, go sleep it off."
"I don't mean to pry into your
privacy." Sylvia stood in front of him, staring at him intently. "I feel that you have to stop running away.
Sometimes, when you care to
much, you tend to avoid it, and the more you do so, the more yearning you will feel."
Sebastian's brows were knitted into a knot, and his whole body exuded a kind of cold aura that would make people feel intimidated to get too close.
She sensed danger.
However, she was not afraid. She looked up and right into his eyes without avoiding his gaze. "Well, do what you feel fit."
After that, she left.
Sebastian stood rooted in front of his door like a statue. No one knew what he was thinking.
Sylvia returned to her room, took a shower, and went to sleep.
Early the next morning.
She got up early and went to buy some things for Claudia.
She did not bring a fruit basket according to her father's words. Instead, she bought a bunch of flowers and asked the driver to buy some art pieces. After filling up the car with all the items, she still felt that it wasn't enough. Therefore, in the end, she asked the driver to bring her to the shop to get some food and drinks.
When she arrived at the address Claudia had given her, she called Claudia to come down and help her with the things she brought.
Claudia got down and came to the car quickly. As soon as she saw the things in the car, she was shocked, and her jaw fell.
"You seemed to be the one who's moving. I don't even have so many things. What did you bring me? This is a lot." "Didn't you just move? You would need a lot of things, so I bought you some daily necessities."
"You're too nice to me." Claudia
wrapped her arms around Sylvia's and said to her affectionately,
"However, you can't buy me so many
things anymore in the future. I'll work hard on my own for the fife I want." "Feel free to do that. What I got y' is nothing," Sylvia said.
"My dear, you're giving me a lot of pressure."
"Are you not the kind to thrive under pressure?" Sylvia asked with a smile.
Claudia was speechless. She smiled and said, "Well, I'm thick-skinned, but I have to make it clear now. No more next time, okay?"
