Looking at the arrogance flashing in her big eyes, Heinz Jones sneered and said, "Grace, I really don’t know where your pride comes from."
"Just treat it as if I'm overestimating my capabilities," Grace Smith replied blandly. "Anyway, I don't need you to pity me."
Heinz frowned and said, "What do you mean? When did I pity you?"
"Then what does that expression of yours mean?" Grace looked at him in surprise. "Are you just born with such an arrogant and handsome face?"
"A handsome face?" Heinz automatically ignored her other descriptive words and only focused on this. "Oh, it turns out that you think I am handsome in your heart."
Grace was stunned and quickly denied, "No, I didn't say that!"
Heinz stepped forward and approached her again. Obviously, he was dissatisfied with her denial. He moved closer to her lips and said, "That night, you lost Simon by mistake, didn't you?"
Grace felt humiliated, she turned her face away and didn't look at him.
Heinz was unperturbed, he move closer against her body.
Grace pursed her lips and said, "So what if it's true?"
Heinz said, "Then, can you forget that mistake and start all over again?"
Grace was more surprised than before. She turned to look at Heinz and asked, "What do you mean?"
"I'm not a simple man either." He said, "I've had a woman before you, so we're a perfect match now."
She was stunned and felt sad. "You've had another woman before?"
"Both of us have things in the past that we're not proud of. Can you forget your past and start again?" Heinz said again, "Are you ready to do this?"
Grace looked into his eyes and starred at him.
How could you expect a twenty-nine-year-old man to still remain pure and untainted?
What did he mean by having another woman?
"Have you had a girlfriend before?" Grace asked.
Heinz nodded.
So that's what he meant.
Grace didn't know what to say for a moment.
He wasn't talking about a one night stand. He was talking about his girlfriend.
She had an unspeakable feeling in her heart. It was very unpleasant, sad, but with a little bit of expectation.
She couldn't tell what kind of feeling this was, but it was bitter, which made her clench her fists tightly.
He once had a girlfriend and was intimate with her.
But now, he wanted to start all over again?
"Don't think about Jensen anymore. You'll be my girlfriend. What do you think?" He asked again.
Grace's eyes felt a little dry. She shook her head and said, "No, Mr. Jones, you're not someone I can get close to. I know myself well. I'm not worthy of you."
Heinz frowned. "You don't want to be my girlfriend?"
Grace nodded. "Yes, I don't want to."
There was a sudden surge of discomfort in his heart, and he really did not understand why she refused.
"Grace, I've already said this much. Why do you refuse?" Heinz said in a low voice, "Didn't we agree before that you'll give it a try after it's over?"
"But Mr. Jones, you have given up yesterday too." Grace was still upset about what had happened yesterday. "What's more, I can't exclude the possibility that there was really a one night stand between Jensen and I now, so we can't start over."
"Grace." Heinz frowned when he saw her resistance.
Grace said, "Step back and let me up."
Heinz didn't even move an inch.
Grace had no choice but to stand up by force.
