True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 703

Heinz always thought that he would be at the top of the food chain for the rest of his life, but the reality was so bleak.

He knew that all this was because of his arrogance.

Knowing that Hermione was bearing witness to the consequences of his inconsiderate behavior, he had no choice but to accept it.

However, this didn't make the situation feel any better for him.

It felt as if he had been dragged down cloud nine and was now crashing to the ground.

Only one word could describe the entire situation: embarrassing.

And to that, Heinz did feel very ashamed.

On the other hand, Hermione was in no rush. Neither was she startled by his anger. Showing how reluctant she was to leave, she continued to tease, "Of course there's a reason for me coming to Grace's room. I have something to tell her, so I can't just leave. If you don't mind, Mr. Jones, I'll wait here just like you. Anyway, she'll have to come out sooner or later. Let's see who she entertains then."

Hearing this, the brows on Heinz's face twisted into a tight knot. He couldn't understand why this woman was trying to pick a fight with him.

Obviously, Heinz was angered by the playful tone in her voice, so he glared at her.

"Mr. Jones." Unfortunately for him, Hermione didn't find any of this uncomfortable. In fact, she continued to smile and wagered a deal with him. "Shall we make a bet? Let's see who Grace will go to, you or me?"

The brows on his face furrowed even further. Looking at Hermione, he said unhappily, "Editor Lowe, why are you trying to pick a fight with me?"

"What? Since when?" Hermione smiled and answered modestly, "Mr. Jones, you're far above me. Without you, our newspaper office wouldn't be so famous. I haven't even expressed all my gratitude towards you, so why would I even pick a fight with you?"

"Well, your behavior says otherwise," Heinz said in a low voice.

"Well, you're mistaken." Hermione waved her hand. "I'm not trying to pick a fight. I'm just joking around because I think you're being too tense. If you don't want to make a bet, forget it then. Stop putting on such a long face. Any luck you have would've been chased off by that face of yours."

Heinz bathed in his own silence for a moment; there was a touch of sorrow between his brows.

On the outside, Heinz may have come across as arrogant, cold, and distant, but thanks to Grace, Hermione learned about the other side of him.

Just like anyone else, there were things which he didn't know how to handle either.

For example, everyone always thought that he'd been single his entire life. However, in reality, he'd been married for some time now.

In Hermione's opinion, it wasn't a smart decision on Heinz for registering the marriage so early in his life.

He had been too young.

No matter how mature someone was at that age, they could do anything reckless within a few seconds.

Take herself for example. Back then, she and Lorenzo were also madly in love. She was so infatuated that she insisted on marrying him.

However, the facts proved that Lorenzo wasn't a good person.

Now, Hermione only felt regret as she thought about her past. Perhaps it was right to listen to the elders after all.

Thinking back, she could've avoided so many tragedies.

But at that time, who would have known that things would've turned out that way?

No one could tell what the future holds.

Suddenly, the tone in her voice became firm as a serious look swept across her face. "Mr. Jones, I have something to say, but I don't know if I should say it."

"Speak!" Heinz said in a deep voice.

Right now, he wasn't in the position to argue with Hermione.

Hermione smiled and said, "Well, since you insist, then I'll go ahead. I'm sure you know about what happened between me and Lorenzo."
