Female Novel
Chapter 655
"What on earth happened?" Hermione noticed that something was wrong. She said with great concern,
"You don't look well. Tell me and I'll help you deal with it."
"I-" She was just about to speak, but she stopped. She really didn't know how to put it.
Hermione could tell that there was something she could not say.
Hermione then said to Grace, "Give me a second."
She got up and went to shut the door, preventing others from hearing their conversation.
Grace felt Hermione's genuine concern and was grateful.
She knew Hermione was not a meddlesome person. She handled things well and could see right
through any situation.
Hermione came back and sat down. She looked at Grace, lowered her voice, and asked with concern,
"What's the matter? Tell me."
"It's hard to explain." Grace laughed in selfdepreciation. "I don't even know how to put it."
"Is it difficult for you to say it or are you too embarrassed to say it?" Hermione paused for a moment
before she said, "Or do you think that I'm not a person you can trust?"
"Of course I trust you, otherwise I won't even come to you. In fact, I feel suppressed, and I don't know
how to deal with it. I don't want to stay idle. I just want to make myself busy."
"You can't work blindly at this time," Hermione said, "You want to use work to distract yourself, but
that's not necessary."
Grace was still persistent. "Hermione, give me some work to do. It'll be even better if you arrange a
business trip for me. I really want to leave for a while, completely free myself and calm down. I really
can't stand it anymore."
"Did Heinz provoke you?" Hermione didn't need to guess to know that it was Heinz, because onlynovelbin
relationships could put a person in this state.
Grace was silent, not denying anything.
"It seems like this won't be a small matter." Hermione decided it was definitely a troublesome situation.
"It must be very difficult for you to deal with it since it's making you so antsy."
"Indeed." Grace said, "I wanted to be a heartless person, but it turns out that I can't even handle the
situation."
"Come on, let's go to my apartment first." Hermione said, "It won't take long for Heinz's men to find you
if you continue to stay here. Come to my place for a rest. I have a studio apartment."
"Thank you." Grace thanked Hermione sincerely for being a confidant every time. "I'm sorry to bother
you."
"No need to be so courteous," Hermione said. "Only a woman can tell that you are in trouble now."
Grace's eyes were getting a little wet.
Half an hour later.
They arrived at Hermione's apartment.
"This is my personal residence," Hermione said. "It's small but lovely."
"Indeed." Grace saw it too. This place was really lovely. "Hermione, you're not staying with your
children?"
"The kids have grown up. When their father lost his temper with me or when the children were noisy at
times, I would come here for a rest." Hermione said, "Don't worry. I live here alone. No one knows
about this place. I come here every time to be alone. You are the first guest here, and also the only
one."
How considerate of Hermione.
Grace was surprised.
The two bedrooms were clean and tidy.
The wine cabinet was massive and held plenty of good wine. Hermione would drink every time she
paid a visit to this apartment.
Thinking about what Hermione had been through, Grace felt that life had not been easy for Hermione
either. Living like this even after experiencing marital adultery was definitely not easy for her.
Grace admired Hermione from the bottom of her heart.
Hermione put down her bag and coat, went to the wine cabinet, and poured a glass for Grace. "Have
some wine. It will relieve your tension."
Usually, Grace would refuse her offer of wine, but this time, she didn't.
She took it and drank the glass of wine in one gulp.
At the sight of this, Hermione immediately stopped her. "Grace, you can't do that. You're drinking too
much. The wine is for you to enjoy slowly. If you drink like this, you would waste such good wine, and
worse still, it could harm your body." "I'm fine. It's only the wine that's wasted, but let me be this once,"
she begged. "I'm quite upset now."
"The wine is nothing compared to you." Hermione cared nothing about the wine. "I'm worried about
your health."
"I'm fine." Grace shook her head. "This time, I want to indulge myself."
"I told you to drink a little and not too much. It's really unpleasant to get drunk," Hermione said and
offered Grace another glass. "Really Grace, don't drink too much. Even if the situation is unbearable,
just drink a little to ease yourself, not numb yourself. In fact, drinking wine can make you worry more."
"Thank you." She sat on the sofa and asked Hermione, "May I take off my shoes and sit cross-legged
here?"
"Of course you may." Hermione smiled. "There are no rules here."
"Thank you!" Grace sincerely expressed her gratitude.
She took off her shoes, sat on the sofa and crossed her legs.
Hermione was stunned when she saw Grace dressed like a modest lady with a diamond ring on her
hand. It was really weird for her to sit like this.
"Your attire today indicates that you went to a formal event. What happened there?"
"I planned to get a marriage certificate with Heinz today." Grace said slowly, "However, when I
submitted the application for inspection, I found out that he was married."
"Oh my God." Hermione was completely shocked. She looked at Grace in disbelief and said, "He's
married? You're the..."
Hermione didn't continue further.
Hermione quickly stopped herself from saying anything else. She looked at Grace awkwardly and said,
"I'm sorry."
Grace looked up, looked at her and laughed at herself with embarrassment on her face. "See? Your
first impression of me is that I am the third wheel. I disrupted the marriage of Heinz and someone else."
"What the heck is going on?" Hermione said, "Since Heinz is married, why didn't he tell you? Why did
he tell you only when you both were applying for the marriage certificate?"
"He did not tell me when we were getting married!" Grace shook her head and said, "It was the staff
member who told me while we were processing our marriage certificate, so I was completely
dumbfounded."
Hermione stared blankly at Grace. "This is ridiculous! He's married and now he's marrying you. Is he
stupid?"
Hermione probably realized that what she said was inappropriate, so she bit her lip in awkwardness
and sighed.
Grace also couldn't describe how she felt.
"I'm confused." Hermione said, "He lied to you. Then, who was that woman? Who did Heinz marry?"
"That woman is dead." Grace said in a low voice, "I knew that he had a girlfriend who passed away, but
I didn't know that she was not just his girlfriend but also his wife. I was so dumbfounded that I didn't
know how to face it."
