Chapter 14
“What?”
Antonio stared at Grace, a hint of nervousness flashing across his eyes.
Grace pretended like she hadn’t noticed anything off and continued, “You don’t remember her? One of the students we sponsored.
She’s made her way into the entertainment industry and is doing quite
well.”
This was what disgusted Grace the most.
Mylie was one of the students they had sponsored years ago.
And now that ungrateful bitch was repaying her by stealing her man.
Antonio froze but then regained his usual calm composure.
With an indifferent glance at the billboard, he said, “I don’t remember her. It’s not like she’s important.”
Then, his gaze shifted back to Grace, regaining its affection.
Grace sneered secretly.
If she hadn’t known better, she would’ve been fooled by his intense gaze once again.
Antonio had that kind of power.
When he looked at a woman with such focus, she would get lost in his smoking eyes and be convinced that he loved her deeply.

that’s my girl.”
With that, he lifted her effortlessly into his arms.
Grace saw everything in the car, her hands gripping the steering wheel tightly.
It felt like her heart had been torn apart.
Shaking, she visited Mylie’s livestream.
As expected, Mylic didn’t miss this chance to flaunt her date.
The comments flooded in, all asking about her mysterious boyfriend.
Mylic glanced at the man outside the screen, smiling silently.
Another viewer asked when she was joining the movie set.
Mylic replied, looking happy yet troubled, “I’m not filming for now, because someone doesn’t want me to do any kissing scenes. He gets jealous.”
As if to respond to her words, a man’s hand appeared on the screen and playfully squeezed her cheek.
Mylie giggled, her eyes glinting with adoration, “Alright, I’ll do as you say.”
In the background, a Samoyed lazily passed by.
A brief flash of blue light appeared around its neck.
Grace froze instantly, blood rushing up to her head.
It seemed like Antonio really loved Mylic. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have bought her a villa so close.
And Mylic was the reason he had gone to such lengths to buy Endless Blue.
What Grace didn’t understand was why Antonio would bother with those sweet talks or have his friend ask for the pendant.
A mixture of rage and sadness rose in her throat, and Grace couldn’t help
but sob.
Soon, the livestream ended.
The next moment, Mylie was pressed against the thin curtain of the second–floor window of the villa.
The passionate scene cut through Grace’s already broken heart.
She stared with wide eyes, trembling.
She wished she could die at that very moment.
Grace forced herself to return home and submerged herself in the bathtub.
The water gradually turned cold, but she didn’t notice.
Half an hour later, she finally got out.
Without hesitation, Grace called a charity organization and donated the pocket watch and all the jewelry Antonio had given her.
She couldn’t leave yet.
But she could start by getting rid of his things one by one!
The next day, Antonio rushed back, looking hurt and nervous.
“Grace, did I do something wrong? Why did you throw away the pocket. watch?!”

He cooked and watched shows with Grace.
He even handled his work from the study.
At night, Antonio attempted to have intimacy with Grace, but she instinctively pulled away.
He froze in surprise. “What’s wrong? I thought your period wasn’t due yet.”
Grace said, as casually as she could. “I’m just a bit tired.”
Antonio’s brow furrowed slightly.
Since her miscarriage, Grace’s health had not been great, and he knew it.
Antonio skillfully massaged her temples.
Then, he went to fetch a bucket of hot water, rolle knelt in front of the sofa, gently massaging her feet.
up his sleeves, and
Grace touched her throbbing forehead, a bitter smile on her face.
When it came to taking care of her, no one did it better than Antonio.
This habit of his had formed during their toughest times, the days when she supported him through his early struggles.
To this day, Antonio still peeled shrimp for her, dried her hair, carried her into and out of bed, and even put on her shoes.
All his habits remained the same.
But his heart had changed.
Antonio, unaware of Grace’s thoughts, looked up at her, his eyes full of
concern.
