Chapter 31
Antonio kept calling me but never got through.
He slammed on the gas, and the car sped up.
On the billboards on the roadsides, there were wedding photos of him and Kristen.
He frowned.
The wedding date on the billboards was February 22nd.
It was the 10th anniversary of the day Antonio and I first met. Because it was a date full of the number “2“, Antonio kept teasing that we were destined to be a couple.
A rush of anxiety hit him.
He knew I’d been treated unfairly and planned to make it up to me after all the drama ended.
He wanted to be with me for another 10 years.
But he forgot that I was OK with living in two houses, raising Alison on my own, and many other stupid things only because I loved him.
I didn’t love him anymore.
Antonio felt repentant. He slammed on the gas again, without noticing another car driving his way.
With a bang, Antonio’s car bumped against a wall.

He managed to get out of his car. With injuries on his face, he wobbled to the departure lounge.
But it was still too late.
“Sir, sir, can I help you?”
He looked in the boarding gate’s direction helplessly.
When the staff member called security over, Antonio collapsed to the ground, feeling dizzy.
He thought. “Grace loved me so much. Why did her love for me disappear suddenly?
“We’ve been together for 10 days, and we have a cute daughter…
“Right!”
Antonio remembered how much Alison craved his love, so he managed to stand up.
He believed that I would take him back, even if it was only for Alison.
Antonio wanted to fly to me, but the police took him to the hospital against his will.
Kristen got to the hospital soon and looked at him with red–rimmed eyes.
“Antonio, are you insane? Do you know what you did today is on TV? How could you do this to me? I’m pregnant with your baby!”
Antonio looked up at Kristen in a daze and thought, “They’re totally different.
“Grace wouldn’t threaten me with her kid.

“She’s independent, optimistic, and energetic. Nothing seems to be able to beat her.
“I was wrong.”
Antonio looked down and revealed a self–mocking smile.
Kristen was a little nervous, so she asked in a soft voice, “Would our marriage…”
“No need.” Antonio raised his chin.
“Without your family, we can still get through the crisis.”
He limped out, leaving Kristen shouting behind him, “Come back! Antonio, come back!”
