Chapter 85 Omar and Colin both called Grace âMomâ, but they didnât look alike. Antonio was not surprised by Graceâs performance. He grinned as he dotingly looked at her. âGrace, you look so gorgeous today.â Grace avoided his hand with an indifferent expression. She glanced over at the crowd, her voice dull. âIâm here today just to tell you something. âI divorced Antonio six years ago. Iâm not Mrs. Kaufman. I donât interact with him anymore. I just want to be myself, Grace Parrish from the Parrish family!â As soon as she finished speaking, everyone stared at her in astonishment. Antonioâs fingertips, holding the beaded bracelet, paused for a moment; his expression changed, tinged with a hint of anger. âGrace, what do you mean?â With folded arms, Grace curled her lips coldly. âAntonio, you and I have nothing to do with each other anymore. Youâd better let Colin and me go.â Antonio tightly grasped her wrist, with a hint of anger in his eyes. Grace had no fear in her eyes. âAntonio, you make me sick now.â Antonioâs chest heaved violently, and his voice was dull. âLetâs call it a day. Everyone, please see yourself out.â
The guests looked at each other. No one made a move as if they didnât understand the situation. Chapter 5 âThis place is incredibly animated!â a deep male voice abruptly sounded. Graceâs heart skipped a beat as she heard the familiar voice. After glancing at the invitation, the housekeeper shouted, âLetâs welcome the head of the Floyd family, Mr. Rhett Floyd!â The crowd started gossiping. âThe Floyd family? Itâs actually the Floyd family! But didnât the family move abroad long ago?â âEven so, they are still the most prominent family in the city. Why did the head of the family come here?â Rhett had sharp facial features and an imposing aura, dressed in a suit. Colin cried even harder when he saw Rhett. If Omar hadnât gripped him. tightly, he would have run over. âDad! Dad! Get Mom!â Upon hearing Colinâs voice, Rhett walked over slowly. Intimidated by Rhettâs imposing aura, Omar began to perspire lightly and unconsciously released his hold. Colin then ran toward Rhett, who picked him up. Rhett wiped Colinâs tears with a handkerchief and pinched his cheek. âDidnât you say youâd protect your mother? Why are you crying?â
Colin gritted his teeth, striving to keep himself from crying out loud. âIâll protect Mom, I wonât cry.â Grace didnât expect Rhett to come directly to the Kaufinan familyâs banquet. She tried to break free from Antonioâs grip, only to find it. unyielding. Light dawned on Antonio. âRhett is Colinâs father?â Grace frowned, not answering his question. âLet go of me! It has nothing to do with you anyway!â Antonioâs face was gloomy as if he was suppressing something inside. âWhy him? Why does it have to be him?!â
Graceâs patience was already at its limit. âSo what? Antonio, what else are you going to do?â Rhett held Antonioâs hand that was holding Graceâs. Although he was smiling, his eyes looked cold. âMr. Kaufman, what do you want to do to my wife?â The crowd burst into an uproar at the words. âWhat! Ms. Parrish is actually Mr. Floydâs wife? Whatâs going on?â âThis banquet visit today is truly worth it. I guess it will make headlines. tomorrow correctly, Mr. Kaufman has a woman. Why isnât she t know? Sheâs in jail.â
Omar clenched his hands tightly. Those sympathetic and pitiful gazes fell on him intensely. âGrace can only be mine!â Antonio said, looking at Rhett hostilely, refusing to release his hold although Rhett was grabbing his hand. A stronger hint of amusement was in Rhettâs eyes, but Grace could tell he was furious. Not wanting anything out of her control to happen, Grace struggled to break free from Antonioâs grip. âAntonio, Iâve married Rhett. He is the one and only man I love. âYour Antonio was the one who drugged us back then. She wanted to marry you. If you donât believe me, you can go ask her in person. I never thought about giving birth to the baby, but Russell pleaded with me, so I kept it. âEverything between us was a mistake just like how it started.â
Omar suddenly looked at Grace, tears falling silently. He thought, âAs it turns out, I shouldnât have been born in the first place.
âAll the mistakes began with me; it was my fault.â Antonio couldnât accept this truth. His eyes were bloodshot and full of pain. âI donât give a damn about the truth. You say you love him? Why? You love me, donât you?â ed him in the face and said harshly, âKeep your head e force of Graceâs slap left her palm numb. Rhett frowned, a look of distress flashing across his eyes. He held her hand and said coquettishly, âHoney, letâs go home.â Grace felt frustrated to see him act this way, aware that she would need to cajole him later. Antonio did not stop them from leaving. He watched their receding backs. and closed his eyes in agony. This banquet had offered such a good show. Everyone left with satisfaction, eager to go home and share it. Grace and Rhett returned to the Floydâs residence. Despite Colinâs reluctance to leave Grace, the servants dragged him away. Grace knew from Rhettâs expression that he wanted to make out with her. She turned around and said, âRhett, Colin needs my company after the ordeal yesterday. Since youâve just arrived in Drelar City, go get some 11.172 Chapter BL rest.â Rhett hooked his pinky finger around Graceâs hand, grinning. His extremely captivating voice rang Graceâs cars, âDidnât you miss me these days, Grace?â Grace flushed, having difficulty to respond, âRâRhett, calm down.â Rhett scooped her up, brushed his fingertips across her check, and smiled barely perceptibly, âI canât calm down, Grace. You have no idea how much I miss you.â Subconsciously, Grace wrapped her arms around his neck, flushing with at smile.
