“You want to stay here, right? Alright, I’ll leave.”
She had just taken a step forward when Antonio spoke in a calm tone, “Your friend Sybil, as well as your friends and mentor back in your home country, if you were to disappear from my life again, I would make sure they have no place to stand anywhere.”
Grace’s body suddenly stiffened, “…Antonio, don’t you feel ashamed of yourself!”
“I didn’t want it this way,” Antonio skillfully chopped the vegetables, but rare as it was, he accidentally cut his finger. He stared at the bleeding finger for a while before saying, “But this is the most effective way, isn’t it?”
Grace did not answer him, and the spacious villa fell into
silence.
He quickly made the meal again and brought it to the table, but Grace had no appetite and didn’t want to see him. She went upstairs and went to sleep directly.
Antonio brought the dishes and said, “Are you tired? Eat something before sleeping.”

“Antonio, I couldn’t forget about your infidelity, nor can I forgive it. We are no longer possible, and there is no meaning in you being like this now. Let’s part ways amicably.”
Antonio did not speak, he just held her tighter.
When the moon rose, he let go of his hand and said, “I know you don’t want to see me, I’ll go sleep in the guest room.”

Lincoln was inexplicably choked with a remark, and before he could say anything, the phone had already been hung up.
