True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 924

Heinz was unbearably nervous.

Looking at Grace's indifferent expression, his emotions were in turmoil, and his face was somewhat pale. He didn't know what Grace was thinking about and whether she was angry.

Grace's stunning face remained emotionless. Seeing how anxious he looked, she found it funny.

Of course, she knew that this was unintentional on Heinz's part, and there was no need to make it into a big deal.

She simply didn't like Heinz's way of dealing with things secretly. She only wanted to teach him a lesson, that he couldn't do anything behind her back next time. That was why she deliberately kept a straight face to scare him.

She still did not respond after a while. Heinz could only say, "Hey, why won't you say anything? Tell me, you're not really angry, are you?"

Grace remained silent. Her attitude was cold, and her eyes were even colder.

The butler couldn't stand it anymore and he spoke up from the side, "Mrs. Jones, Mr. Heinz has always been faithful to you. His study room only serves as a decoration and he pretty much doesn't read books. These books were moved over from the Hart Villa District. Mr. Heinz hasn't taken a single look at them even though they have been here for so many years."

"Butler, you seem to know more about it than Heinz does. Since that's the case, why don't you explain to me about these photos? Why haven't you found them in the study after so many years? Don't you look at what's inside when you clean?" Grace asked him calmly.

She had essentially shifted her focus to the butler in an instant.

The butler was frightened out of his wits, and his face turned pale. He stammered in response, "Mrs. Jones, that's not it. We dare not to pry into Mr. Heinz's belongings!"

"Then, don't explain on behalf of Heinz." After careful consideration, she added, "Leave and close the door."

Hearing this, the butler breathed a sigh of relief. It was none of his business, anyway. However, when he saw Heinz being so submissive, he felt terrified. What if Heinz got angry with him later?

He stopped in his tracks at this thought, and he was still in no hurry to leave.

As if she had guessed what the butler was thinking, Grace looked at him who had yet to leave and said, "Don't worry, Heinz won't blame you. This is a matter between the two of us, and I was the one who asked you to help me tidy up the study room. I was too tired and didn't want to collect so many photos. You helped me sort out so many photos, and that's good. Thank you."

After hearing this, the butler felt even more embarrassed. He pursed his lips awkwardly and said, "I'll be leaving."

No one paid any heed to the butler, and so, he glanced back at Heinz and Grace as he walked to the door. Then, he closed it for them after exiting.

He stood at the door and felt unbearably awkward, but what else could he do? He hoped that Heinz would not vent his anger on him later.

At this moment, only Heinz and Grace were left in the room. Heinz hurriedly said, "Grace, please forgive me. Please don't look at the photos. They are all silly things I did when I was young and wild. I don't know how to explain it to convince you to believe in me."

"If you don't know how to explain it, then don't. Otherwise, the more you try, the more difficult it will be to explain." Grace gave him a plain glance and continued, "Also, don't even think about destroying any of these."

Heinz's gaze became even more unsettled. He looked intently at Grace and asked, "Do you not care about me at all? You don't even believe my words."

"If I hadn't followed you in, you would have burned all these photos without telling me. If there was nothing to see, there's nothing for you to explain. Didn't you want to burn them so that you wouldn't have to explain to me?" Grace removed his hands from concealing the photos and pulled the stack to her front. Then, she turned them over one by one.

The content of the photos was truly an eyesore as some of them looked quite intimate. They were all of Jodie holding Heinz's arm or being in his embrace. Some were of Heinz with his arm over Jodie's shoulder and the two of them standing close to each other.

The young faces of the two people in the photos were full of smiles, and it could be seen that those had been relatively beautiful years.

Grace could tell that Heinz and Jodie had spent a wonderful period of time together.
