True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 399

Grace stared at the tombstone in front of her blankly. She noticed that it had been erected six years ago in the month of May.

She had met Heinz in the middle of July, which meant that it had only been two to three months after Jodie's death.

Jodie had passed away six years ago.

She was Heinz's girlfriend.

Grace felt her heart clenched like a fist. It pained her.

Staring at the pretty face that adorned the tombstone, she thought that it was a pity that such a beautiful girl had died at a young age.

And she would never be forgotten by Heinz.

She would forever be the special love who was deeply embedded in his heart.

At that moment, Grace felt awful.

She was a bundle of emotions. Did Heinz visit his exgirlfriend on that day because Mr. Lawson and Mrs. Lawson were staying in the hospital, so he had felt sorry for his late girlfriend?

Was he here to confess whatever he had been hiding in his heart?

When she looked into the distance, she could see no one at the foot of the hill.

Grace stayed rooted in front of the tombstone, staring at the photo blankly.

She pursed her lips. There was a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

After that, facing Jodie's photo, she said in a soft yet determined voice, "I didn't expect that you would already be gone. I don't know what had happened between you and Heinz, but I don't want to be hung up on that. I will stay with Heinz and live with him for the rest of my life."

"Don't worry," she added. "I won't stop him from taking care of your parents."

"After all, we all have parents. Heinz is going to take good care of yours."

"My name is Grace Smith. It's a great honor to know you, albeit it's a pity we're meeting this way."

"Rest in peace, Jodie," she whispered.

After that, she bowed and turned to leave.

Although she had mixed feelings in her heart, she understood that detesting a deceased was not making her any good.

It was not worth it. After all, when she recalled how Heinz had bitten his tongue each time he tried to tell her, she couldn't help but find it amusing.

He must be afraid that she would be mad at him. Hence, he didn't dare to admit that Mr. Lawson and Mrs. Lawson were his ex-girlfriend's parents.

He had even caused her to mistake them for the parents of his buddy.

He didn’t have the nerve to confess because he was afraid that she would turn around and leave.

Grace chuckled and thought, "Heinz Jones, you are underestimating me."

Soon, Grace returned to the grave of Hermione's parents. Hermione was still paying her respect to her parents, as she crouched down in front of the tombstone, whispering to it.

Grace stood there, looking at the courtyard.

Life was nothing more than a blink of an eye. When it ended, a person could be buried anywhere. The picturesque scenery before her would merely become a fleeting scene in her life. Life was short. It was better to cherish the present.

She had discovered Heinz's secret. Even though she had felt a little down for a while, she was much calmer at this moment.

On the way back, Grace asked Hermione a question.

"Hermione, have you ever regretted marrying Lorenzo?"

Hermione smiled faintly and answered firmly, "No."

Grace was surprised. She widened her eyes and looked at Hermione.

"I have no regrets." Hermione smiled and explained, "We were actually close in the early years. I was also pondering about this problem a while ago. Now that we are divorced, I feel that everything is in its place. Strangely, I feel much more at ease. I don't regret it one bit."

"I've had a wonderful time with him," she continued. "I had blossomed; I was lost; and I have been reborn. I think that these ups and downs make my life much more meaningful."

"Life has its power, and I have two very sensible children. They know that I have suffered and have had a hard time these years."

"This is life, and there is nothing to regret."

Grace applauded Hermione from the bottom of her heart, "I really admire you, Hermione."

"Silly girl," Hermione laughed and said. "The truth is, you will only know if you'll regret something after you have experienced it."
