True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 656

"Dead?" Hermione was shocked. "It's fine if she's already dead. He was just lying to you about being married, not playing with your feelings. He probably didn't want to lose you, so he was hiding it from you."

"Heinz is an arrogant man. He was always known to be outstanding and flawless. He probably doesn't want you to think that he has his flaws, so he didn't tell you that he was married."

"It's not like that." Grace shook her head in an instant.

"Grace, she's dead, so it won't affect your marriage registration."

"Yes, it does." Grace allowed herself a wry laugh. "What's ironic is that Heinz was notified that he's married and her parents didn't cancel their daughter's account. Now, she has no death certificate to prove that she's dead, so we can't get the marriage certificate at all."

"Huh?" Hermione realized how embarrassing it was to ask this question. "If that's the case, I now understand why you're so anxious."

"Actually, Hermione, what I care about isn't the fact that he's married, but it's..." She was lost for words and didn't know how to continue explaining.

"I know that what you really care about is that he loved another woman to the point that they got married. Besides, after so many years, he has not cancelled his ex- wife's account. He left a deceased person's account married to his account." Hermione continued, "This is what you really care about."

Grace opened her eyes wide. Hermione had guessed what she was thinking.

Grace nodded. "That's what I care about. I was confused when I heard today that he was married. He used to have a good relationship with other people and there's nothing wrong with that. Everyone has a past but if he's not ready to get married, why does he want to get married to me and let me experience this? He's just trying to make things difficult for me, but he doesn't want to admit it. It's as if I'm a narrow- minded person who is troublesome."

"Grace, these things happen and it's not easy for anyone." Hermione understood her situation. "Don't think of yourself as a narrowminded person. If you didn't have feelings for him, or if you hadn't loved him enough, only then would you think of it that way."

Looking dull and helpless, Grace said, "Hermione, I'm not afraid that you will laugh at me, but I haven't the slightest clue what to do now."

"Heinz has always been cold and heartless. I haven't really heard any rumors about him from the industry world. I didn't expect him to be married. It was really unexpected."

Grace picked up the glass and gave it a swirl. The wine in the glass bloomed into a beautiful colour.

She picked the glass up again and finished the wine.

Even after drinking two glasses of wine, she didn't feel dizzy at all. She leaned on the sofa and her eyes shone brightly; she looked a little pitiful.

"I didn't expect this to happen. I made up my mind to get the marriage certificate, but now I'm really in a mess. I want to go out to work. I want to think about things carefully. I'm afraid that he will harass me and distract me if I'm here."

"Grace." Hermione sighed and said, "Listen to me. I'm an experienced woman. The way I see it, you're running away from reality."

"I know," Grace said. "I'm afraid that I don't have the courage."

"You're not in the right frame of mind for work. Why don't you take a rest?" Hermione said, "If you want to stay here, don't try to contact Heinz. Do you think you can stay until tomorrow? If you insist on going to work at this time tomorrow, I can arrange for you to go on a business trip. However, given my experience, I would want to deal with things rationally. Whether you are staying or leaving, you have to think clearly, instead of avoiding the issue."

Grace understood that Hermione was being sensible.

She nodded. "Thank you for taking me in, Hermione."

"Don't worry, I won't tell Heinz that you're here. If he comes looking for you, I will tell him that you're safe. Can you promise me that you'll be safe and not do anything foolish?"

"I never do stupid things," Grace promised.

"That's good." Hermione said, "You can live here in peace. There is a landline in the house. You can call if you want to order takeout. I am going back to the office."
