“Grace, I’m always a bit busy with work, but you need a good
rest after your abortion. So, I’ve hired someone to cook for you.
Next month, I’ll take you to meet my parents.”
In Grace’s memories, Shane’s parents were always busy,
traveling for business all the time. Shane and she had been
neighbors for 18 years, but she had only met them twice. She
could barely remember their faces now.
“I don’t need that much rest. I want to work.”
Shane shook his head.
“You can work anytime. But if you don’t take care of your body,
you’ll regret it later.”
As carefree as Shane might seem, he could be stubborn
sometimes. Once he decided something, no one could change
his mind. Grace gave up protesting, for she knew he was just
looking out for her. Now that they were married, they had to
understand and support each other.
“Fine, but I have to study, or I’ll be bored at home.”
Shane compromised, nodding in agreement.

During the next month, Grace put all her energy into studying.
She found that she hardly thought about Antonio anymore.
Sometimes, she even wondered if her three years with him had
been love or just an obsession. Well, that didn’t matter anymore.
She had a new life now. Antonio was probably married to Keyla
by now, and that was fine. There was no drama, no tearing each
other apart. This was probably the most peaceful breakup in the
world.
“Shane, will this outfit look too casual? I’m worried your parents
might not like it.”
Grace was adjusting her clothes in front of the mirror. Shane
was taking her to meet his parents today, and she was nervous.
Patience thinning out, Shane finally swatted her hands away as
she continued to adjust her clothes.
“Honey, you look great. Whether they like it or not doesn’t
matter. As long as I like it, that’s all that matters.”
Grace should have been used to Shane’s sweet talks by now,
but her face still blushed. In the past, Antonio had barely looked
her in the eye, let alone said anything that made her blush.
Unlike him, Shane expressed his love all the time.
“Shane, I still don’t understand. Why do you like me?”
Shane froze, not sure how to answer. He seemed to have liked
Chapter 50
Grace since forever. He didn’t know when it started, and he
didn’t know why. He just liked her.
“I don’t know. Grace, do you think we need a reason to like
someone?”
Grace was stupefied by his question. Why had she liked
Antonio? No specific reason. But if she stopped liking someone,
there definitely was a reason.
With a smile, Grace took Shane’s hand. All of that was in the
past. From now on, she just wanted to enjoy being loved. It was
something life owed her, so Shane must have been sent by fate.
Shane’s parents liked Grace a lot. They didn’t care about social
status or family background. The two kids had grown up together, and their son loved Grace, so they had no objections.
“Grace, I hear you want to work at the Larson Group?” Shane’s
mother, Maria Larson, asked.
Grace nodded. Maria’s warm smile erased the anxiety she had felt earlier. After a month of rest, it was time for her to start her
new life.
“That’s great! Shane’s father and I have been wanting to retire for a while, but we’re worried about this troublemaker. With you keeping an eye on him, we can finally enjoy our retirement.”

Grace officially joined the Larson Group and became Shane’s
assistant. Everyone knew she was the CEO’s wife, so no one dared to give her a hard time. Of course, her performance also proved that she was qualified for the position
