Everyone always wanted to be with the ones they loved, and being together with each other was the best reward.
Heinz's feelings for Grace never changed even as the years passed.
Even though they had small disagreements, they always made up quickly in the end. Hence, it was unlikely that they would bear any hidden resentment against each other. Maybe they just thought that the disagreements they had were no longer important.
Heinz held Grace in his arms and lowered his head to kiss her. The two of them made love in broad daylight.
They were still upstairs when Alice and Jensen arrived.
The butler led them into the living room and served them fruits and tea.
"Mr. Charm, Ms. Smith, please wait for a moment. Mr and Mrs. Jones have been very loving recently, and they won't be down until at least 12.30. Have some fruits and tea first, and don't hesitate to call me if you need anything."
The butler's words were very euphemistic, but he indirectly told them that the couple were busy upstairs.
Alice was rendered speechless.
The two of them were experienced too, so they knew what the butler meant.
She glanced at Jensen.
Jensen nodded faintly, "It's okay. Just do your thing, we know our way around the house. Well just wait here."
"All right, Mr. Charm," The butler left the room quickly after that.
Alice and Jensen had tea together.
Time had made its mark on both of their faces. It wasn't obvious, but the both of them had become much more mature.
Jensen had become more wise and calm.
Meanwhile, Alice was similarly calm and composed.
The both of them sat together and exchanged glances.
Jensen chuckled before he said, "They're doing it in broad daylight. We should learn from them, don't you agree?"
"What do you mean? There's no need to "learn" these things. As long as you're healthy, rich and idle, anyone can get it on at home," Alice's tone was sharp, and she did not mince her words.
Jensen was stunned.
Alice continued, "You're very busy with work and aren't home often. After I get home from work, you're usually gone. When I'm about to head into work the next day, you'll just end your night shift."
Jensen blinked before he sighed, "Well, you could have been with me the entire morning after I got off my night shift."
Alice blushed and said, "I would love nothing more to do so as well, but who's going to run the company? I'm not as smart as Heinz, so I can only rely on hard work."
"I'm sorry I can't help you with that, Alice," Jensen was incredibly apologetic when it came to this.
Alice was stunned at his expression before she softened her tone, "Hey, don't think too much about it. That's not what I meant."
"Nah, I'm okay. I was just thinking whether we should stay for lunch. Maybe we should head home and take a "nap" as well?" Jensen threw Alice an inviting look, "I took a leave today so I don't have to go back to work."
"We can go home after we eat," Alice glanced at her watch and replied, "There's still time."
Jensen nodded and poured some tea for his wife.
Alice picked up the cup and began to drink.
The both of them shared a pot of tea and were soon both itching to go to the bathroom. However, Grace and Heinz were still upstairs.
Alice rolled her eyes and frowned, "Gosh, they're so rude. They're really ignoring us so they can screw around."
"Next time, we should have meals outside instead of at home," Jensen suggested.
Alice replied, "You're right."
After another bout of waiting, Heinz lazily strode down the stairs.
He looked particularly at ease and did not even display an ounce of shame as he spotted Jensen and Alice.
"Are you hungry?" He asked.
Jensen smiled and said teasingly, "Of course we are. We have waited for an hour."
Heinz shrugged, "Then why did you come so early?"
Heinz assured, "Don't worry. Alex is there.
Everything is under control."
"Won't you go to London?" Alice looked over at Heinz and asked, "Heinz, are you so confident about their safety? Ernest and Gary are over there as well."
Heinz explained, "They're in their twenties, so it's better to let them be on their own. There's no need to worry. I'll fly over if they really need me."
"Alright," Alice nodded, "Jensen, you should also call Gary and Ernest and tell them what to do."
Jensen replied, "There's no need for that. The boys are very capable. Do you think they're still kids? They've already graduated university, and even skipped grades to get their PhDs. Relax."
"How can you men be nonchalant about this ?" Alice looked over at Grace when Jensen said this.
Grace replied, "It's because they've never been pregnant before. That's the only way someone can feel truly connected to their children."
"I agree wholeheartedly," Alice raised her glass and drank with Grace, "I've decided that both of our kids won't be sent overseas to study. With mine and Jensen's careers, we're not suited to travelling overseas as well. Let's just stay home."
Jensen was also very supportive, "I think the kids should study locally as well."
Grace nodded and agreed, "I agree with what you
say."
Heinz cut in at that point, "What? You think I'm not in favor of your decision? I support it too, but the problem is that the boys decided to go overseas on their own. I can't decide their lives for them."
"Heinz, are you actually admitting defeat?"
"I've truly surrendered to the determination Gary has shown in refusing to call me his father," Heinz shrugged helplessly.
Then, they all laughed.
Everyone showed equal sympathy towards Heinz about that.
Then, the phone rang.
It was Heinz's phone, and he immediately picked up once he saw who it was, "Alex is calling. There must be news from London." "Hurry up and answer the phone."
