Lester froze for a moment, then said, "Go ahead and cry. Don't blame me for not reminding you if I can't help but beat you up."
Jodie was utterly speechless.
She stood up, went out, took a taxi, and left quickly.
Heinz called Lester in the car. "Go after her and send her back home. From now on, we have nothing to do with her."
"Yes!" Lester understood and accepted the order, "Don't worry, I will give them a clear explanation."
After getting the divorce certificate, Heinz felt much more relaxed.
He drove back and didn't know where to go for a while. Soon, he unconsciously arrived at the gate of Emerald Apartment.
Looking at the watch, it was 4:30 pm. He didn't know if Grace was there at the moment.
Had she gone to pick up the children?
Heinz called the butler again and asked, "Did you pick up the children? Or Grace did it?"
"Miss Smith asked me to pick them up. She's going on a business trip for a few days."
"Business trip?" Heinz frowned. "When did she say that?"
"Just now," the butler answered. "She should be at the airport now. She was on the way when she made the phone call."
"Where is she going on her business trip? Do you know?" Heinz asked in a deep voice.
"I don't know." The butler continued. "Miss Smith told me to take good care of the children and left. I don't know what's going on at all. I can only promise her. Besides, my task is to take care of the young masters."
"D*mn it." Heinz hung up the phone, started the car quickly, and went to the airport.
At the airport.
Grace carried a big bag and a camera bag with her. Following Hermione, they were headed on a business trip together.
Hermione pulled her luggage and said to her, "It's better for you to go out and take a trip like this. Don't think about the negative things."
"I know." Grace said, "I'm in quite a good mood now."
"Don't force yourself," Hermione reminded. "I know how it feels to force myself to do so." "Hermione, I can't hide anything from you." Grace answered with a smile. "I'm feeling kind of bad, but I can't bring myself to worry about Heinz either. It's not easy for anyone to go through something like this. I'll go on a business trip with you. That way, I will be able to think things through."
"Yes, let's go!"
Hermione did the check- in procedures and the two of them took their boarding passes. Then, they went to wait for the plane.
When Heinz arrived, he couldn't find Grace at the airport.
He took out his mobile and called Grace.
Soon, the call was connected. "Grace, are you at the airport?"
When Grace received Heinz's call, she was startled. "Why did you call me?"
Heinz felt a stab in his heart. He said in a distressed and apologetic tone, "Jodie and I have settled the divorce certificate. I am a completely free man now."
Grace was stunned and she held the phone without speaking for a long time.
"Grace?" Heinz couldn't hear any sound and shouted again.
Grace then said, "I see."
There was no sentence after that.
Heinz had thought that she would say something else, but she didn't.
After waiting for a long while, he had to ask, "Where are you going for a business trip?"
"Abroad." She didn't tell Heinz the exact location. It was more like a diplomatic order, which he couldn't stand.
"Can't you tell me your specific address?"
Grace did not answer but replied directly, "Heinz, if you have time, go accompany the children. I am going on a business trip and don't want to be disturbed."
Her sentence stunned Heinz so much that he didn't know what to say.
When she heard the background noise through the phone on Heinz's side, she thought, "Did Heinz come to the airport?"
