Chapter 704
This wasmon sense, and Heinz knew it. It was just that things hadn''t gone the way he nned.
Hermione continued to say, "If both parties keep hiding things from each other, then the marriage would
never work. This is just my opinion that I''m sharing with you."
After hearing this, Heinz nodded and said nothing else.
In fact, as someone experienced, Hermione''s words were frank and as sharp as a knife. It felt like they
were ripping his wounds apart, one by one.
This made him realize that he had taken things too far.
"Then what do you think I should do now?" He looked at Hermione and asked sincerely.
All he wanted to do was to make the correct move next.
Hermione smiled and replied, "Mr. Jones, can I ask you one more question?"
"Go ahead," Heinz said in a deep voice.
"Are you single now?" Hermione had intended to ask him if he was divorced, but changed her mind at
thest minute as she feared that it would upset him.
"Of course." Heinz replied instantly, "I''ve just gotten the papers. That''s why I''m able to stand in front of
her now."
"Then I''m relieved. In that case, I can help you with peace of mind. If you were still married, I would
have chased you off!" Hermione eximed.
Heinz frowned as he heard this. "If that was the case, I would be too embarrassed to be here right
now."
"But Mr. Jones, when did you get the divorce?"
"Yesterday."
"Okay, look." Hermione sighed andid the facts out for him. "Although we know how things are
happening on the inside, those who aren''t involved don''t understand. You must remember that you''re a
famous figure in Northern City. How do you think things will look if you married Grace just a few days
after your divorce?"
If it was in the past, Heinz would''ve said to hell with them.
But now, he couldn''t open his mouth.
This was because he knew deep down that Hermione had struck the home run.
The reason he broke up with Grace was that he didn''t want to hurt her. At that moment, it didn''t make
sense to marry her straight away if his intention in the first ce was to protect her.
He was too anxious.
How could he be so rash?
Even though Grace understood his situation, he was still an important figure in Northern City. He
couldn''t take the chance by being so reckless.
Heinz was in disbelief at how thoughtless he was again!
Shutting his eyes tight, he tried to hide the regret in his face.
Seeing this, Hermione added, "Mr. Jones, both the kids are with you, so why are you afraid that Grace
would run away?"
Hearing this, his eyes flew open and he locked gazes with Hermione''s.
Seeing his reaction, Hermione smiled warmly and spread her hands outwards. "It is that simple."
"Thank you!" Heinz nodded. "If that''s the case, then I''ll leave Grace in your care. I''ll be taking my
leave."
"Alright." Hermione smiled. "Don''t worry. She won''t run away."
"Wait, are you her friend or mine?" Heinz couldn''t resist prosecuting her for Grace.
In fact, Hermione didn''t mind his skepticism. She just replied simply, "I just want Grace to be happy. I
want the both of you to spend the rest of your lives together for the sake of the kids."
Heinz nodded.
Having said what she needed to, Hermione reached out as she was about to knock on Grace''s door.
She was no longer bothered about Heinz''s presence beside her.
Although Heinz still seemed reluctant to leave, he forced himself to say, "I''ll go first. You guys chat
slowly."
"Why don''t I knock on the door, then you can say goodbye to her before you leave?" Hermione
suggested.
"There''s no need." Heinz quickly turned and left.
In reality, he knew Hermione was right. They should give each other a chance to calm down. That way,
they could avoid any unnecessary arguments.
He realized he shouldn''t have tried to rush things.
At this time, Grace was drying her hair inside the room. She changed into her clothes and was about to
go out when she heard someone knocking on the door.
She looked at her watch. Only 20 minutes had passed, so she wondered if that could be Heinz.
She figured that it must be him since the knocks were pretty loud. He wasn''t a patient man after all.
As she got closer to the door, she could sense that these knocks were pretty powerful, making her feel
as if they belonged to a man.
However, she had forgotten that Hermione was a tomboy. Her strength was unlike any average
woman.
Thinking that it was Heinz, she pulled open the door, angry. Without looking up, she shouted, "Heinz
Jones, what are you still..."
The moment she raised her head, she choked back the rest of her words as she was greeted by a
smiling Hermione, not Heinz.
The anger she felt from earlier froze on her face.
Embarrassed, Grace looked at her and asked awkwardly, "Hermione, what are you doing here?"
"Why can''t I be here?" Hermione questioned with a smile. "Who did you think it was? Wait, has Heinz
been here?"
After thinking about it, Grace nodded, then proceeded to shake her head. She truly felt too ashamed to
speak.
With much awkwardness, she scanned the hallway outside. Much to her surprise, she didn''t see Heinz.
Smiling mischievously, Hermione teased, "Grace, do you not want to see me? Or do you want to see
Heinz that much?"
Grace shook her head immediately. She looked like she was still very conflicted on the inside.
"Hermione, no, Heinz came by earlier so I thought you were him."
"Hermione, everything''s a mess." Grace didn''t try to hide anything from her. "I really don''t know what to
do now."
"Grace," Hermione noted. "Forget about exercising. Let''s go in and talk for a bit. Then, we can have
breakfast together."
Hearing this, Grace felt bad.
"Hold on, isn''t five o''clock a bit too early?" Hermione studied her haggard face. "You couldn''t sleep

well?"
Grace nodded. "Yes, I didn''t sleep well."
"Was it because of Heinz?"
"That''s right."
"Isn''t this what it is like to be in love?" Hermione smiled calmly. "Think about it. Wouldn''t it be weird if
you weren''t mad at all? It''s normal for you to be angry."
"Hermione, stop trying tofort me." After thinking about Hermione''s words, Grace handed her a
bottle of water. "I''m just jealous of how you can make decisions so easily."
"That''s because you haven''t seen me crying secretly," Hermione noted with a faint smile. "But that''s all
in the past. Now, nothing can stop me."
