Chapter27
The baby was born. For a moment, Antonio was happy.
He had always wanted a child. This was his flesh and blood, his son.
Driven by the joy, as if doing charity work, he kept Amber company all night at the hospital. He didn’t go home that night.
He wanted to make arrangements for the lives of Amber and the baby. Then, he wouldn’t see them anymore. He figured he and Grace could still be together as a devoted couple.
However, Grace didn’t wait for him. She was gone.
When the houseworker came to the hospital, Antonio was holding his son cautiously. When he was told Grace had left, he didn’t go and look for her.
He only closed his eyes tightly.
He knew Grace wouldn’t forgive him. He saw the divorce paper and the USB drive on the nightstand in the living room. He didn’t sign the paper and only watched the videos on the USB drive.
Putting the divorce agreement and the USB drive together was sarcastic as if Grace was mocking his stupid conduct. Grace also made a video of herself.
Antonio watched it and sobbed. He regretted what he did. He had made a huge mistake. It turned out Grace knew everything.
“Antonio, we were married for years, and I didn’t give you a child. I feel bad about it. I know how much you want a child.
“Whatever the reason you kept the baby, it doesn’t matter now. Let’s separate peacefully.”
Grace read his mind. He wanted to keep the baby.
A self–centered man like him only cared about what was important to him. Nothing else mattered.
If he didn’t want it, the baby wouldn’t have stood a chance to come to the world.
With his acquiescence, his parents took care of Amber.
Amber could hurt the woman he loved only because she saw how truly happy he was about the baby.
Antonio wanted to keep both his marriage and the baby. But in the end, he lost the woman most precious to him.
