Chapter 669
She widened her eyes and a wave of heat rushed out of her. Tears welled up in her eyes. However, she
didn''t shed any tears. She just pursed her lips stubbornly.
Seeing this, Heinz''s heart was about to shatter.
Heinz dared not look at Grace who was hurt, but he still stubbornly acted strong.
He closed his eyes, cleared his throat and swallowed his reluctance to leave.
He knew that at this moment, he needed to take responsibility. He should push her away so that she
would not be harmed by gossip. He had to be responsible and righteous.
He couldn''t be muddle-headed anymore.
"I didn''t expect Jodie to still be alive." Heinz spoke again, saying word by word, "Everyone thought that
she was dead before, but she came back. It''s the truth."
It couldn''t be concealed, nor could it be covered up.
Upon hearing that, Grace was shocked. Her long eyshes trembled slightly. Her tears nearly dripped
with the momentum of her blinking eyshes.
She took a deep breath and seemed to feel pain, even when she was breathing.
She quickly turned her face and her beautiful face tensed up. She frowned slightly. She didn''t know
what was really going on, but at that moment, she only feltpletely cold in her heart.
However, even if they broke up, she wanted to know everything.
A person should have a clear conscience, be pure and understand their mistakes.
No matter what, it was necessary to be meless and upright.
After a short pause, she calmed down her inner self. Although she was already in a state of chaos, she
forced herself to calm down.
She knew that Heinz broke up with her because Jodie did not die and he wanted to continue the
marriage with her. Or was it because he felt that their current status was not right? After all, he was still
married.
As for this point, she had to figure it out.
Grace sat opposite to Heinz and looked at him calmly. "Make it clear,pletely. From beginning till
the end." "Grace." Heinz forced out a smile that looked uglier than if he was to cry. "I didn''t expect Jodie
to still be alive."
"So?" Grace''s voice had be hoarse.
"I went to her house to cancel her ount today and found out that she''s back." Heinz''s eyes were
bleak and he said in a self-deprecating andplicated way, "I admit that I have never wanted to tell
you that Jodie and I had been married because of the darkness in my heart. I have a selfish heart. I
was afraid that you would feel inferior if you found out."
After all, she was unmarried. She was pure.
Grace thought about Heinz''s confession. She closed her eyes and suppressed the sour feeling in her
heart.
She already suspected that Heinz didn''t mention his marriage to Jodie because of vanity in his heart.
In fact, he was scared and fearful, but his vanity hadn''t allowed other people to look down on him.
To Heinz, marrying again would be a ck mark for him.
Although the divorce rate was very high now, even if death was involved, it was nothing glorious to brag
about.
He seemed to be a perfectionist, so when reality hit hard, he tried his best to hide his ws.
Grace could understand why Heinz didn''t want to mention it.
However, now that he was confessing like this, Grace only felt pain in her heart.
She looked at him and noticed that his face was very cold, helpless, lonely and sad. She felt sad when
she looked at him.
His self-esteem was getting crushed. If he wanted to hide it, why did he have to confess like this?
"I don''t want to be inferior to you. I want to be perfect," Heinz said word by word, "Unfortunately, the
more I think like this, the more it backfires. The more I want things to go perfectly, the worse it
bes. I am indeed a very bad person and I feel that I don''t deserve you now."
She pursed her lips and finally asked, "What''s wrong with Jodie?"
"She was alive in Alsburg, but I didn''t ask," Heinz said. "She is now back. The marriage between us still
exist and I will break off the marriage, but before that, I must break up with you."
After thinking for a while, Grace finally understood.
An indescribable feeling of suffocation lingered around the two of them.
Grace looked down. "If you don''t break up with me, I will have to break up with you. Jodie is back. I
can''t be a mistress. You should immediately change and get back on track to when you got off-
trail."
Heinz didn''t say a word and there was guilt in his eyes.
After looking at him for a while, she asked, "What about the children?"
Heinz''s face turned cold in an instant. He raised his head and looked at Grace.
Grace stared at Heinz until he lowered his head.
"Grace, the children belong to both of us."
"We made a mistake at the wrong time. Now, our children are five years old, and you have been
married since the beginning and the wife you assumed was dead is back to life now. But it can''t change
the fact that our children are illegitimate."
"Don''t talk about our children like that." Heinz felt extremely hurt. He looked at Grace with pain and
when he looked into her cold eyes, he suddenly lost his strength.
"If I don''t say it in this way and face reality, should I continue to be narcissistic?" Grace asked in a low
voice.
Heinz was stunned.
He looked at her and felt a terrible pain in his heart. Then, he looked at her calm face. He found her to
be cool-headed and frightening at the moment.

He was still in pain and felt like he was dying, whereas Grace actually kept her cool even after saying
those words.
He was really ashamed.
After a long time, Heinz said, "The children go with you."
Grace was taken aback and she was a little surprised.
"I don''t deserve to raise those two lovely children. You take care of the children and I will pay fortheir
living expenses every month. That vi is for you and the children. You can live there, so you will be
safe and assured."
"I''m not a parasite that you keep." Grace said, "I don''t need your vi."
"But, the children need it," Heinz said. "Grace, let''s not act on impulse, shall we?"
After hesitating for a while, she said, "Okay, that''s settled then. It''s good that you''re willing to do so."
"I..." Heinz was about to speak but stopped on second thought. "Grace, I still want topensate you."
"I don''t need it." She shook her head. "I don''t need any of yourpensation."
Heinz had no choice but to look at her. His eyes were full of pleading. "Please don''t push me away like
this, okay?"
"I took yourpensation for the children, but I don''t need anypensation from you. Heinz, we
have known each other for a long time. We are both independent people, so I really don''t need it."
Grace looked at him and said, "You take care."
She stood up. They had talked about everything that needed to be talked about, and it was all very
clear.
It was time to go.
As soon as Heinz saw her stand up, he also stood up quickly.
He walked up to Grace and hugged her. He murmured in her ear in pain, "I''m sorry, Grace. Thousands
and ten thousands times, I''m sorry."
