True Fated Marriage novel 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. "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.
