letter to admit his mistake.
However, the apology letter was written to fill up a whole box and sent to Grace’s new address, but no one signed for it, and it was only returned the same way.
Mr. Hawthorne, who was always busy with countless tasks, had his office filled with numerous apology letters and love letters, but not a single one was accepted.
However, the jewelry called “Arianna” that was once released by the Hawthorne Group has long since quietly been withdrawn, and the related news articles have disappeared without a trace.
To win back Grace, he continuously released a series of jewelry and various products called “apologies“.
He hoped that one day she would be able to see these and forgive him.
Antonio protected her so well that Alden attempted to encounter her countless times, but not a single time was successful.
He could only apologize in this way.
Drake publicly apologized to Grace directly during the live broadcast and even announced his decision to retire from the industry.
Faced with the concern of his fans, he simply said, “In the past, I chose to enter the entertainment industry because Grace casually mentioned that I was so good–looking that I resembled a star. I hoped to see myself shining on the screen.”
“Now, if the people who used to want me on the screen no longer do, there is no need to continue.”
His retirement from the entertainment industry came suddenly, without

leaving any room for farewells to anyone.
Even though countless audience fans expressed great regret, after a while, the popularity also faded away.
C
He bought a dessert shop near the Kaufman Group and became the manager, just to be able to catch a few more glimpses of her when Grace
came to see Antonio.
She didn’t want to see him, so he could only secretly observe everything about her.
That day, Grace passed by this dessert shop and, as usual, ordered a piece of cake and sat in the shop to enjoy it slowly.
The taste was very familiar, just like the one she made, as Drake did.
Every time she came here, she would have this illusion.
But then, she smiled. How could it be possible? If Drake were to appear here, this dessert shop would surely be packed.
After eating the cake, she counted the time to find Antonio.
But when leaving, a medical examination report was left behind on the table.
Drake slowly emerged only after she had gone far away, picking up the report sheet and feeling as if her heart had turned to ashes.
“Was she pregnant?”
He smiled bitterly. Originally, he had thought that one day, he would be able to wait until they separated, wait until she forgave him.
However, it seems that there is no longer this opportunity.

Grace smiled and went upstairs to find Antonio. Unable to resist, she directly hugged him from behind and exclaimed with joy, “Antonio! We had a baby!”
As soon as the words fell, Antonio couldn’t contain the joy on his face. and tightly hugged her, kissing her forehead.
“Grace, I loved you.”
The two of them embraced tightly, while Bryce, in the corner of the office, held onto a trophy, feeling bitter inside.
He had just come down from the arena and rushed back immediately, wanting to tell her the good news that he had won the championship. However, he did not expect to receive this terrible news.
However, it was already expected, wasn’t it?
Bryce felt a sourness welling up in his heart, but he still placed the trophy on the table and, gritting his teeth, nonchalantly spoke, “Grace, congratulations to you all. This trophy… consider it as a gift from me to the children. Goodbye, the coach is looking for me, I have to go first.”
After saying these words, he hastily fled, returning to the club and sitting in front of the computer like a madman, playing games and almost plunging into a state of madness.
After a long time, he sat weakly in the chair, leaving two silent tears.
“It was time to give up, Bryce.”
“Yes, it was time to give up.”
He murmured.
After that day, when he reached a certain age, he left the club, took over

the
family business, and competed with Alden.
But in this way, they also limited themselves and Alden from seeking
Grace.
There was no way, he could only give up.
