Chapter 3
Allen and I had dinner alone.
In the past, I would ask where Antonio was.
But now, I didn’t care.
Allen said with hatred, “Bitch, do you know where my mom and Antonio went? They went to the cinema.
“You’d better divorce Antonio, or don’t blame me…”
1 interrupted with impatience, “I’ll divorce him soon.”
Allen revealed a smug look.
“Don’t break your word. Antonio said he wanted another daughter. When you two divorce, I’ll ask my mom to give me a sister.”
I had never known that Antonio wanted another daughter.
It was killing me.
It turned out that he never wanted to bring Luna over. He didn’t want Luna.
He wanted a daughter with Dorthy.
At about 9 pm, Antonio got back.
Dorthy was wearing a beautiful dress and holding a bunch of
flowers.

That dress was expensive, while Luna’s clothes were full of patches.
I had asked Antonio for some money to buy Luna a new outfit.
Antonio sneered, “Why bother? She’s just a country girl.”
The flowers upset me. I didn’t know Antonio could be romantic.
He never took me to the movies. Instead, he often took me to a mountain in our hometown.
He said we should be grounded, not blow money on movies.
Dorthy noticed my stare at the flowers, a smug look flashing through her eyes.
“Grace, you never got this, did you? Why don’t you have it?”
Antonio stopped her.
“He wants everything. It is yours. Don’t give it to her.”
I was amused, glancing at Antonio with cold eyes.
We’d been married for 5 years, and I didn’t know until now what he would be like when he was in love with someone.
I went back to my bedroom, not having the strength to fight back.
Antonio sensed something was wrong with me and paused.
Half an hour later, he came in.
I felt the warmth when he pressed his body against my back.

“Gracie, what is it? Are you not feeling well?”
Hearing his gentle voice, I was helpless with tears.
Feeling the tears on my face, he panicked and hugged me.
“I’m sorry for being distant lately. But there’s a reason. If you hadn’t caused Allen’s diarrhea, I wouldn’t have shouted at you.
“One week later, we’ll bring Luna over. Then, our family will be together again.”
Excuse me? When Luna was ill, I sent him a message, but he didn’t reply to me.
When I asked him back for Luna’s funeral, he happened to be available. However, he said I was lying and took Dorthy and Allen to go shopping instead.
As for causing Allen’s diarrhea, it was more ridiculous.
That was my birthday. Early in the morning, Dorthy said he wasn’t feeling well, and Antonio carried her to the hospital with
worry.
Allen hung out with other kids nearby and might have eaten something bad, which caused his diarrhea.
When Antonio asked him, he insisted that I had given him. something bad to eat. Antonio went ballistic, pulling me to Dorthy and Allen and telling me to kneel and apologize.
In the hospital, many people passed by and laughed at me. On the ground, I cried and said it wasn’t me.
Since then, I began pulling away from Antonio.

He didn’t notice it, and he tried to make me happy.

Suddenly, he changed the subject. “Why don’t you give your job at the market to Dorthy? Then you can rest at home and get pregnant easier.”
I landed the job all by myself.
Antonio knew that I had gone to great lengths and beaten many other candidates to get it.
Seeing his strong hand on my waist, I felt irritated and shook it off.
“OK.”
Maybe because he didn’t expect me to agree so fast, he paused.
Under his searching gaze, I felt calm.
I was leaving, so I didn’t care at all.
