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 eyelashes trembled slightly. Her tears nearly dripped with the momentum of her blinking eyelashes.
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 felt completely 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 blameless 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, completely. 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 become hoarse.
"I went to her house to cancel her account today and found out that she's back." Heinz's eyes were bleak and he said in a self-deprecating and complicated 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 black 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 flaws.
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?
