Lowell's jaw dropped. It was apparent that it sent quite a shock to him, but he soon pulled a powerless smile. "I understand."
"As if." Smiling, Grace shook her head, saying, "If you did understand, you wouldn't be single now."
His eyes were wide-opened as he stared at his sister. "Come on. You know I can't force it. Neither of us can rush this."
"I didn't mean it, but you have to understand how I feel about this."
After saying this, Grace felt more like Lowell's mother instead of his sister. Although they were siblings, she and Heinz were the ones who brought him up. Therefore, it became a habit of hers to worry about her brother.
"I do understand, but didn't we just agree to let nature take its course?"
He knew she was worried because Ernest and the others who were close to his age all had girlfriends. With the new year around the corner...
He could feel her concern for him.
