Jodie glanced at the door and her face was pale. "Heinz!"
He did not come by himself. Grace followed closely beside him. She had changed into a simple and neat set of clothes. She seemed to be in good spirits.
She stood at the door and noticed that Jodie was inside the room.
Jodie’s face was pale and listless.
Jodie spotted her, and she was so excited that she said in a low voice, "l-ls she Grace?"
Heinz took Grace into his arms and announced domineeringly, "This is my wife for the rest of my life."
Jodie narrowed her eyes in disbelief.
In comparison, even if she didn't want to admit it, she had to concede that Grace was too young.
She really didn't look like a mother who gave birth to twins.
She looked young and gorgeous. She was as pretty as a picture and she had mesmerizing eyes. Most importantly, she was calm and unruffled.
She was so calm, as if everything in the world had nothing to do with her. She was very placid even after she experienced all the difficulties.
Also, she had gone through that incident with the news. How did she do it?
She and Heinz looked well- suited as she stood in front of him. They were a match made in heaven.
Jodie finally understood why he had fallen for her.
She gave a bitter smile. Her lips trembled and her eyes were filled with confusion. Jodie scanned her and muttered, "So you are Grace."
"Hello, Jodie. Welcome back home," Grace said calmly. Her tone was just right.
Jodie lost the fight as soon as she spoke.
Those who were present did not have to say anything. They knew she had lost just by looking at Grace.
Not to mention that Grace was standing next to Heinz.
As Jodie observed her, the manner in which she spoke made Jodie seem petty.
Aaron said cold-heartedly, "Jodie, take a look at Grace. She is superior to you in both appearance and temperament."
"Stop saying that!" She interrupted him. After she screamed, she realized that her voice was too sharp.
This was because the whole room was silent. She was the only one who was screaming like that.
Jodie was also embarrassed. She stared at Grace and her eyes were panicked. She pursed her lips awkwardly. She tried her best to maintain her self-esteem and pride. "Thank you. I'm back."
Grace witnessed Jodie's mood and grinned. She stood beside Heinz and said nothing.
Aaron seemed to have found Jodie's sore spot and began to stimulate her, "Jodie, you are ashamed of your inferiority, aren't you?" "Aaron Clarke, shut up!" She was provoked again and said in a sharper tone, "You don't have to remind me about it. Shut up!"
Aaron did not pay attention to her. He just smiled faintly and said, "Shut up or not, that's just burying one's head in the sand. Now that you've seen her, you probably know why Heinz chose Grace instead of you, because you are such a scumbag!"
Heinz did not say anything, but he just gazed at Jodie and Aaron unemotionally.
