Chapter 126
Grace took the medicine and rushed to the Fischer’s residence.
After taking out two pills from the medicine box, Livia picked up a glass of water and wanted to feed Antonio herself.
He subconsciously turned his head to look at Grace, not used to Livia’s sudden display of intimacy.
At the sight of Grace’s expressionless face, Antonio immediately realized that his action seemed odd, so he quickly looked away and took the medicine.
After watching him swallow it, Livia set the glass down, picked up a pillow, and positioned it behind his neck, then turned to face Grace.
“I remember Antonio was in good health. Why did he suddenly come down with a stomach ailment?”
After casting a glance at Antonio, who had kept his head down, Grace explained tonelessly, “After you left the country, Mr. Kaufinan became. addicted to alcohol. He would get wasted around five times a month. Over time, his stomach deteriorated, but he refused to go to the hospital. He kept putting it off until…”
Halfway through her words, the silent Antonio suddenly raised his head and glanced at her, seemingly shocked that she would actually help him in his pursuit.
“You’re talking so much. Can you shut up? You’ve delivered the medicine. Why don’t you leave?”
Grace had no idea what she had said that had enraged him again.
She didn’t want to dwell on it though. She nodded slightly, turned around, and left the villa.
As she walked out of the elevator, she heard whispering sounds in the garage. She walked lightly and saw the drivers from the Kaufman and Fischer families.
“Mr. Kaufman has been with Ms. Fischer every day recently. Are they going to marry soon?”
“No way. Ms. Fischer just broke up with her boyfriend not long ago. I saw her eyes red the other day. Can she get over it so fast?”
“You don’t understand. After a breakup, one will always get over it. She will eventually be moved by a man as wonderful as Mr. Kaufman, who genuinely cares for her.”
Listening to the two people chatting, for some reason, Grace smiled with relief
Antonio had been waiting for Livia for twelve years. A man as infatuated. as him would surely win the woman he desired.
However, that had nothing to do with her Grace was about to start a new life.
The day before leaving, Antonio still hadn’t returned.
Grace followed Devin’s secretary to the store and picked out a wedding dress that she really liked.
After arriving home, she sorted out all the things related to Antonio, burned what could be burned, and threw away what couldn’t.
Seeing the room she had lived in for ten years now empty, she turned off the light and fell asleep quietly.
On the day of her departure, the alarm clock woke her up at 8 a.m.
She rubbed her eyes, got up to wash up and put on makeup, and then went to the company to complete the resignation procedures.
When she got home, she put the last few necessities into the box and closed the door.
According to the housekeeper, Antonio had returned. Grace thought she should say goodbye, so she dragged her suitcase to his bedroom and knocked on the door gently.
A minute later, the door opened.
With half of his body out of the door, Antonio asked her indifferently what the matter was.
Before Grace could say anything, a sneering expression appeared on his face again as his eyes caught the suitcase behind her.
“Are you trying to tell me that you’re leaving because you’re getting married and moving into a new house?”
Grace could tell he was being sarcastic. This time, she answered him seriously.
“Yes. I’m getting married tomorrow and moving away. I came to say goodbye.
“You and Ms. Fischer are welcome to come if you are available. I will keep the bouquet for Ms. Fischer.”
Seeing her acting so convincingly, Antonio felt like wanting to compliment her acting skills.
He was about to speak when his cell phone rang a few times. Livia sent him messages.
As he checked them, he picked up his coat and headed outside. Before leaving, he turned around and looked at Grace, his tone as arrogant as
ever.
“Grace. I’m not that patient. I’m telling you one last time. Stop acting.”
Watching his receding figure. Grace smiled calmly.
“Antonio. I’m not acting. I’m really getting married tomorrow.
“It’s true. I’m leaving.”
After saying this. Grace took one last look around the house that held many of her memories.
She had been entangled with Antonio for ten years.
Grace thought, “Antonio, one day you will realize that the cheap woman in your eyes may be someone else’s treasure.”
She picked up her phone and sent a message to Devin, “Mr. Hudson, the wedding will be held tomorrow. Have you returned from abroad?”
With a ding, she instantly received Devin’s reply. “I have landed at the airport and will be at the wedding promptly. Mrs. Hudson, please be my girl for the rest of my life.”
When she saw his reply, she instantly felt at ease. She smiled gently while turning around with her suitcase.
She left Antonio and the Kaufman family resolutely without looking back.
