Chapter 34
Grace also spent the next two New Year’s at Australia.
Every year. Cassie’s parents would come over to celebrate together, and Cassie would also bring her and her family along.
After being together for a while, their personalities and values aligned well in their daily lives, and gradually their relationship became more
intimate.
When it was Cassie’s turn, the Baird family had already transferred all of their business operations to Melbourne and intended to settle down there. Cassie kept pestering her, asking if she had any plans to stay.
Grace also considered this problem for a long time.
All of her few close friends in the country have already gotten married and started their own families, while her parents and relatives have long passed away. She is all alone, without any property or assets.
In terms of both interpersonal relationships and current work focus, she personally leaned more towards staying.
Her work also improved over time, and she even saved enough money to buy a house with her own funds. Previously, she had considered returning the money Nancy gave her, but Cassic stopped her
The girl pouted and poked her.
“Are you stupid? You took care of a blind person wholeheartedly for so long, all of this was what you deserved, so what else is there to repay?
She never mentioned the matter again and started preparing the immigration documents.
During that time, the Baird family helped her a lot, enabling her to get through the difficulties.
With enough money in hand and sufficient business reserves of her own. she gave up even the opportunities given to her by her boss and opened her own studio.
In the following two years, the size of the studio continued to expand and gradually became influential.
After four years, Grace successfully met the immigration requirements and applied for permanent residency.
When she was going through the procedures to return to her home country, she met with friends whom she hadn’t seen for a long time.
Years have passed since we last parted, time has flown by like frost. Everyone has lost their youthful appearance.
But as long as we gather together, we can still find the feeling of being able to talk about anything.
What everyone was most concerned about, undoubtedly, were her relationship issues.
In the face of everyone’s enthusiasm for gossip. Grace was very open and
honest.
“I had a relationship two years ago, but we broke up due to personality differences Now we are considered as business partners. My current boyfriend is someone I started dating earlier this year. He is two years younger than me and a student at the University of Melbourne. However,
he has a very mature personality…”
She had a bright sense of happiness on her face, while she was narrating her everyday love life and sharing photos and videos with everyone.
As they watched the loving appearance of the two people on the screen, everyone showed a contented expression.
We chatted for a while, and suddenly someone mentioned Antonio.
“Hey, have you heard? It seems like Antonio was not doing well.”
Upon hearing this, Grace’s heart trembled slightly and she instinctively looked up.
Over the years, she had been busy with work and adapting to the environment there, rarely inquiring about domestic affairs. Cassie might know something, but she never mentioned it to her because of her
concemIS.
Although occasionally chaiting with Cassie about the past, she always felt that that period of time was like being shrouded in fog, and she couldn’t see it very clearly.
And the name Antonio, just like an old, faded photograph, carried a layer of yellowed antiquity.
She thought he would slowly let go of that relationship and gradually move on to have a life of his own.
But unexpectedly, it seems that the past was extremely miserable, and now even lile is in danger.
The atmosphere in the room turned cold for a moment, and several people carefully observed Grace’s emotions.
Seeing her, everyone was shocked, but once they saw that she was fine, they all relaxed and started chatting.
“I have also heard about this, Grace, but since you mentioned that you don’t want to know anything about him, I have never brought it up with you. After all, it can be considered a sad matter.”
“What a sad thing, it was also his own doing. He treated Grace so badly for Sofia, and then he went crazy afterwards. As a result, he was completely blinded by his brother and became disabled. I don’t know what Nancy was thinking, she actually let Sofia take care of him. She has been holding her breath all this time, but she has also been tormented enough.”
It has been so long; Grace couldn’t remember what the woman’s name was. Suddenly, when she heard the name Sofia, she was momentarily stunned.
Upon hearing the outcome of these two individuals who completely altered her life trajectory, she couldn’t help but feel a little nostalgic.
Even if there were moments of absent–mindedness, they were only brief.
The phone in the pocket buzzed.
She came to her senses and took out her phone. It was a call from Cassie.
“Grace, when did you finish your errands and come back? My mom made the jam that you love the most. When you come back, I will give you two bottles.”
“I will be back tomorrow”
Everything from the past gradually became blurry. She stared out of the window, the sunlight was just right, just like how it was the year she left
