Chapter 2
After Grace left Sybil’s place, she went out of town to book an
abortion.
Everyone in the Kaufman family was an influential figure. If she had an abortion in town, Antonio would know before she had surgery.
Before she was wheeled into the operating room, Rowena sent her a video clip.
It lasted for two and a half hours, in which Rowena was wearing sexy lingerie, whereas Antonio was wearing a sharp suit; on the table

They had sex in every corner of the place, including the kitchen, the study, and the vestibule.
Grace had never seen that side of Antonio; he looked so
obsessed and crazed.
Each scene broke her heart, yet she still finished watching it as if she was determined to torture herself.
“Ma’am, it’s about time for your surgery. Are you sure you’re up to it?” the doctor asked her worriedly.
Only then did she realize she had been crying so hard that her body was trembling.
Apart from being sad, another reason she was crying so hard was that she realized one thing. Even though she knew

Antonio had cheated on her, she still couldn’t stop loving him.
He was a living person, not a piece of clothing that could be dumped at will. The thought of leaving him tore her apart, and it hurt so much that she couldn’t even breathe.
She wiped her tears away and decided to give him one last chance.
She called him. “Where are you, Antonio? I miss you. Can you come back?”
He sounded tense as if suppressing something. “Darling, I’ve got something important to do at work. Tonight…”
He groaned and suddenly spoke much faster, “I won’t come back tonight.”
With that, he hul

Stunned, Grace started to cry even harder. It was the first time he had ever hung up on her.
After a few minutes, she closed her eyes and took a deep breath. “I’m fine. Wheel me in.”
Late at night, she went home wearily. Sybil texted her, “Baby, everything’s ready. It’ll happen in two days.”
She slumped to the bed. For the entire night, she always woke up crying right after she fell asleep; in the wee hours, she hugged her knees and sat in the darkness until dawn.
Antonio came back early the next morning.
He took off his coat and walked over to her only after the chill on him dissipated. Then he hugged her, turned on his tablet,

and pointed at an island. “Darling, check out the island. I’ve just bought it; it’s for our baby. Also, I’ve started construction on amusement parks in all cities in the country. They’ll be named after our baby. After you give birth, I’ll hold a party for a hundred days and invite everyone to celebrate with us!”
He said so happily; then he realized she hadn’t said a word ever since he came back.
Suddenly, he heard her sob.
He held her shoulders gently so that he could see her face, and then he saw the tears on her face.
“What happened, Grace?” He had never seen her cry like this, and he panicked so much that even his voice was trembling.
As long as she was upset, he’d be in immense pain; seeing her cry was like the most painful thing for him, and he felt his heart being gripped by a strong hand, which was suffocating.
“I’m fine.” Grace dodged his hands. “This is what pregnant women are like. We burst into tears for no reason.”
“Really?” Hearing this, he was relieved. “I’ll stay home all day to be with you, OK? What do you wanna eat? I’ll fix them for you.”
She said, “No need. I’ve gotta go to a class reunion at noon and visit my mentor in the evening. Don’t let me keep you.”
After saying this, she stood up. After she left, she wouldn’t come back to the country ever again, and today’s meeting with her friends would be the last time.
Antonio was worried about her going out alone and insisted

The second they stepped into the private room, everyone laughed.
“See? I told you Antonio would come with Grace today. He couldn’t leave her for even just a second.”
Antonio smiled, not mad at being teased at all. Then he gave everyone a gift he had prepared for them.
One of them exclaimed, “Gee! This is the latest set of jewelry Snowflake Jewelry has just launched, and it costs hundreds of thousands of dollars! Thanks, Grace. It’s all thanks to you that we always receive such expensive gifts from Antonio.”
Grace was very popular in college. Those present were all her close friends, and Antonio was willing to please them.
Once they were happy, Grace would be, too.
They all secretly exclaimed how love could change a person. Grace used to be cold and aloof, yet ever since she had been with Antonio, she never went anywhere without a warm smile.
“Grace, you’re so lucky to marry someone who loves you so much.”
Yet, instead of showing a sweet smile, Grace simply smiled politely.
As the room was filled with cheerful chatter, the door was suddenly pushed open.
Rowena showed up, glittering with jewels.
“How come no one told me there was gonna be a class
