Chapter 29
Meanwhile, Vivian slammed the phone and cursed.
I was amused to see how mad she was. “I’ve moved on. Why are you so upset?”
“How can I not be? You and Antonio were deeply in love. How did this happen?”
Everyone thought it a shame when they knew Antonio and I broke up.
But there was nothing we could do about it. It just didn’t work out.
Vivian was my best friend. There were things that only she knew. Her gaze rested on my belly. “Grace, what about the baby? Won’t you tell Antonio?”
This baby belonged to me only. I stroked my belly gently.
I didn’t go through with the abortion.
At the last minute, I had second thoughts.
I had no family and had left Antonio. I didn’t wanna spend the rest of my life in solitude.
“The baby has no father. It only has a mother.”
One month later, I gave birth to a girl. She was the most cherished person to me in the world. Between working and raising my daughter, I felt contented and happy.
I invested in Vivian’s company with my techniques. Business had been good. I could provide a comfortable life for my daughter.
Time went by, and my daughter was five years now
Warned by Vivian, Antonio didn’t come and find me.
He asked Vivian about me every month.
Vivian had asked me if she could tell him about my life.
I nodded. She could tell him anything except my daughter
Vivian’s business had transferred domestically. Her company was moving back. And she was returning home to get married.
I would go back with her for her wedding.
My daughter developed slowly. She looked younger than children her age. And she didn’t take after Antonio at all. He already hnd a son.
I figured he wouldn’t care much about this daughter.
