Chapter 23
Grace was too embarrassed. She did not expect to see Heinz in anything but a pair of swimming trunks
when she turned around.
He had a slender body, skin the color of wheat, with extremely defined muscles. Although he was clad
only in swimming trunks, he was exuding a strong aura of dominance.
Grace was filled with embarrassment. She tried to keep calm while avoiding eye contact with him. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
"Why, why are you wearing only swimming trunks?"
A faint smile appeared on Heinz's lips. His sharp eyes fell on Grace's beautiful face and he said lazily,
"I'll swim with you."
"Who said I wanted to swim?"
Grace felt that she could not figure out what was on his mind. She did not know what this man wanted
at all.
"You." Heinz gave her a word. With a slight smile on his thin lips, he moved closer to her.
Grace instantly felt light-headed.
Having his tall and muscular body so close to her made her hold her breath in anticipation, and she
involuntarily stepped back.
"Mr. Jones, I can’t swim."
Heinz's lips were still smiling. Although his handsome face was calm, Grace still felt extremely tense.
"Go change into a swimsuit," Heinz said with a smile on his face.
"No..." Grace rejected.
"or shall I help you change into one?" He did not give her a chance to refuse. His powerful hand
grabbed her wrist and pulled her away.
In a flash, they were in the second half of the manor, where there was an indoor swimming pool. The
cool and crystal clear water in the pool signified how well it was being maintained.
Heinz pulled her to a door and said to her, "Get in and change into a swimsuit."
"I won't do it." Grace plucked up her courage, stood up straighter, and snapped, "You can't—"
She was suddenly pushed into the changing room, and the door slammed shut.
Grace took a deep breath and looked up. She met the man's dark eyes, which were as bright as
obsidian. Her heart suddenly tightened.
"I'll do it for you then." He parted his thin lips and looked down at her quietly, his eyes full of interest.
Grace's face turned pale, embarrassment washed over her, followed by intense fear.
Heinz's body blocked her way. She had no way to escape, her only option was to compromise.
"I, I'll change by myself then." She had no other choice.
Finally, under the man's deep gaze, Grace uttered those words slowly and shyly.
Heinz smiled and said softly, "That's good. I'll give you three minutes. If not, I'm willing to do it for you."
After that, he released her from his grip, opened the door, and walked out alone.
As soon as Heinz went out, he stood outside the door and looked down at himself. He felt a bulge.
It was really odd. Even doctors could not do anything about it. However, the woman on the other side of
the door could make him aroused as soon as she appeared.
Heinz closed his eyes and knitted his dashing eyebrows. There was a hint of distress in his face.
Grace, who was inside the changing room, thought about the three minutes he gave her and quickly
opened the wardrobe. She saw a rack of brand new swimming suits with price tags still on them, and
she picked the most conservative swimsuit with a skirt. She felt embarrassed as she looked at herself
in the mirror.
Grace had a perfect body, it was hard to tell that she had had a baby.
At the thought of her child, her eyes glazed over. How great it would be if the other child could live just
as well.
Unfortunately, only Gary survived.
"Thump, thump, thump!" There was someone knocking on the door.
Grace took a deep breath, and the glaze in her eyes disappeared.
She took another breath, opened the door, and braced herself to look at Heinz.
Heinz was looking at Grace with deeply.
Grace was so nervous, she twisted her hands together. She did not dare to look at Heinz and had
nowhere else to look.
