Chapter 3 No one expected that Antonio would be so resolute. There was dead silence in the living room.
But Grace, looking at the guy who was so protective of her right now, felt totally numb.
Seeing Antonio was dead serious, Nancy gave in. âFine, letâs eat first.â
At the dinner table, the only sounds that broke the silence were the soft clinking of silverware and Nancyâs occasional snorts of disgust.
Grace clutched her fork tightly.
She knew Nancy was about to lecture her.
Just as she thought, Nancy dropped her fork.
âWe donât care about anything else, but you have to give us a grandkid, right? You canât just end the family line,â said Nancy.
Antonio dropped his fork too. âIâve told you that Grace is scared of pain. Iâm not letting her go through that. Iâd rather not have kids at all!â
Hearing this, Frank and Nancy had no appetite.
As they were about to start a fight again, Grace piped up, âFrank and Nancy, youâll have a grandchild in half a month.â

âGrace?â Antonio held her hand. âWe said we werenât having kids. You donât have to do this for me.â
Grace looked at his serious face and couldnât help but smirk.
She said they would have a grandchild, but it wouldnât be hers.
Half a month later, Grace was already abroad. Since he liked Kenna so much and always slept with her, it was only natural for Kenna to have his kids.
With this in mind, Grace grinned, âFrank and Nancy really want a grandkid. Letâs make it happen for them.â
Seeing how mature she was acting; Antonio felt a little uneasy.
It was just weird.
Frank and Nancy softened their faces. âThatâs good to hear.â
Antonio felt something off and was about to ask more when his phone buzzed. He glanced at it, and his expression changed a bit.
Grace was sitting nearby and caught a glimpse of the text. It was from Kenna. âAntonio, a guy is into me and wants my number.
Should I give it to him?â
Grace was counting in her heart. One, two, three...
And right on three, Antonio stood up. âSorry, Grace, I need to head to the office for something. Take your time with dinner. Iâll pick you up when Iâm done.ââ

Chapter 3 288 iVouchers Without waiting for Grace to reply, he just grabbed his jacket and hurried out.
As soon as Antonio was gone, Frank and Nancy dropped the act, starting to scold Grace.
âYouâve been married for years now, and thereâs no baby yet. Donât you feel ashamed?
âYou come from a small family. Both your parents are gone. If Antonio hadnât liked you, you would never be Mrs. Kaufman. It was so unlucky to have you in our family.
âAre you going to cry? Donât even think about telling Antonio later. Itâs only natural for me to scold you. Antonio is so busy. Donât bother him with this nonsense!â
Grace was scolded from morning till afternoon for five hours.
Antonio finally showed up to pick her up in the evening.
As they drove home, Grace casually asked, âAre you done with work?â
Antonio paused and then answered softly, âYeah.â
While he talked, he tapped the steering wheel with his finger. It was a habit when he was in a good mood.
Sensing a long silence, Antonio asked, âDid Mom and Dad give you a hard time after I left?â
Before Grace could say anything, she spotted a pair of torn silk stockings under the passenger seat.
She knew he had gone to meet Kenna, but she didnât expect that they would make out in the car.

Chapter 3 288 Vouchers They had been married for five years, and Grace had always been kind of reserved in sex.
She was afraid that he would get bored and even asked if he wanted her to change.
He smiled, wrapped her in his arms, and kissed her. âGrace, Iâm only into you. Even in rags, youâd still be the one for me. Donât force yourself to do anything you hate. I just love the way you are.â
But the guy who was once so innocent was now sneaking around with another woman.
Graceâs eyes filled up. âWhat do you think?â
Antonio had no idea that Grace already knew about his affair with Kenna. He thought she was upset over her parents.
He hit the brakes, hugged her tight, and murmured, âIâm sorry, Grace. I shouldnât have left you alone. I wonât let that happen again.â
Grace felt suffocated in his embrace.
She held back her tears and pushed him off. âLetâs just keep going.â
There was no future for them anyway.
