Chapter 3
No one expected that Antonio would be so resolute. There was dead silence in the living room.
But Grace, looking at the guy who was so protective of her right now, felt totally numb.
Seeing Antonio was dead serious, Nancy gave in. “Fine, let’s eat first.”
At the dinner table, the only sounds that broke the silence were the soft clinking of silverware and Nancy’s occasional snorts of disgust.
Grace clutched her fork tightly.
She knew Nancy was about to lecture her.
Just as she thought, Nancy dropped her fork.
“We don’t care about anything else, but you have to give us a grandkid, right? You can’t just end the family line,” said Nancy.
Antonio dropped his fork too. “I’ve told you that Grace is scared of pain. I’m not letting her go through that. I’d rather not have kids at all!”
Hearing this, Frank and Nancy had no appetite.
As they were about to start a fight again, Grace piped up, “Frank and Nancy, you’ll have a grandchild in half a month.”

Her words made everyone stare at her in shock.
“Grace?” Antonio held her hand. “We said we weren’t having kids. You don’t have to do this for me.”
Grace looked at his serious face and couldn’t help but smirk.
She said they would have a grandchild, but it wouldn’t be hers.
Half a month later, Grace was already abroad. Since he liked Kenna so much and always slept with her, it was only natural for Kenna to have his kids.
With this in mind, Grace grinned, “Frank and Nancy really want a grandkid. Let’s make it happen for them.”
Seeing how mature she was acting; Antonio felt a little uneasy.
It was just weird.
Frank and Nancy softened their faces. “That’s good to hear.”
Antonio felt something off and was about to ask more when his phone buzzed. He glanced at it, and his expression changed a bit.
Grace was sitting nearby and caught a glimpse of the text. It was from Kenna. “Antonio, a guy is into me and wants my number. Should I give it to him?”
Grace was counting in her heart. One, two, three…
And right on three, Antonio stood up. “Sorry, Grace, I need to head to the office for something. Take your time with dinner. I’ll pick you up when I’m done.“”

Without waiting for Grace to reply, he just grabbed his jacket and hurried out.
As soon as Antonio was gone, Frank and Nancy dropped the act, starting to scold Grace.
“You’ve been married for years now, and there’s no baby yet. Don’t you feel ashamed?
“You come from a small family. Both your parents are gone. If Antonio hadn’t liked you, you would never be Mrs. Kaufman. It was so unlucky to have you in our family.
“Are you going to cry? Don’t even think about telling Antonio later. It’s only natural for me to scold you. Antonio is so busy. Don’t bother him with this nonsense!”
Grace was scolded from morning till afternoon for five hours.
Antonio finally showed up to pick her up in the evening.
As they drove home, Grace casually asked, “Are you done with work?”
Antonio paused and then answered softly, “Yeah.”
While he talked, he tapped the steering wheel with his finger. It was a habit when he was in a good mood.
Sensing a long silence, Antonio asked, “Did Mom and Dad give you a hard time after I left?”
Before Grace could say anything, she spotted a pair of torn silk stockings under the passenger seat.
She knew he had gone to meet Kenna, but she didn’t expect that they would make out in the car.

They had been married for five years, and Grace had always been kind of reserved in sex.
She was afraid that he would get bored and even asked if he wanted her to change.
He smiled, wrapped her in his arms, and kissed her. “Grace, I’m only into you. Even in rags, you’d still be the one for me. Don’t force yourself to do anything you hate. I just love the way you are.”
But the guy who was once so innocent was now sneaking around with another woman.
Grace’s eyes filled up. “What do you think?”
Antonio had no idea that Grace already knew about his affair with Kenna. He thought she was upset over her parents.
He hit the brakes, hugged her tight, and murmured, “I’m sorry, Grace. I shouldn’t have left you alone. I won’t let that happen again.”
Grace felt suffocated in his embrace.
She held back her tears and pushed him off. “Let’s just keep going.”
There was no future for them anyway.
