After Antonio returned home with Dorthy, he felt a bit unsettled.
But he comforted himself that even if I couldn’t swim, someone must’ve saved me, after all, it was a populated area.
He felt angry just at the thought of me.
He couldn’t understand why I was always having trouble with Dorthy. Had he not kicked me for punishment, I might have been imprisoned.
And it was acceptable to abuse a criminal physically.
Antonio’s heart has been out of place since he got back.
Dorthy felt jealous and pouted, “Antonio, it scared me! How about you and I do some shopping?”
Antonio agreed and took her downtown, where Dorthy bought three jars of moisturizer.
The cashier there bantered, “You have a really good husband!”
Dorthy chuckled bashfully, but she was more than happy to hear. that.
However, Antonio jumped in with a frown, “She’s not my wife. My wife is not here.”
Dorthy’s face froze, and the cashier gave them an awkward smile.

Antonio bought a pair of leather shoes.
Dorthy naturally extended her hands, wanting to take them, “Thanks!”
But Antonio drew back and said, This is for Grace.”
That moment, he thought of my cloth shoes that I wore all year round, tainted by mud or patches.
He turned his eyes to Dorthy, in her glamorous leather shoes and summer dress. He used to find it beautiful, but now it was just unbearable to see.
Antonio was filled with regret, and said resolutely, “You’ve got a job and income now. I’ll help you apply for an apartment, where you and Allen can stay at.”
Dorthy’s face turned red and fierce out of fury and unwillingness.
Antonio captured her distorted face, feeling confused, “Why is she acting this way? For the sake of our childhood friendship, I’ve taken good care of them.”
Antonio returned home and didn’t find me there. He panicked like never before.
For unknown reasons, he’s been feeling like this ever since the accident by the river.
Just when he was about to head out looking for me, Allen clutched his legs crying, “Daddy, are you leaving me and mom? People say I was unwanted. Am unwanted?
Allen cried his heart out and made Antonio hesitant.

Dorthy walked up to them with red eyes and a pretty face, “Antonio, I’ve spoiled him. It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have caused trouble for you and Grace”
After a while of hesitation, Antonio decided to stay at home with Dorthy and Allen.
He assumed I would be fine because, during lunchtime, the soldiers would walk past that place. But he didn’t expect I would leave.
The next day, still not seeing me return home, Antonio grew sullen, dead in the face.
Dorthy brought him a plate of pasta, hiding the excitement under her skin.
“Grace was really out of line. How could she stay outside the whole night? I heard she was quite close with a man at the market. Don’t you think last night she was with…”
Antonio looked angry and shouted out in a clear yet furious voice, “If she dared betray me, I would divorce her!”
Antonio rushed to the battalion, and as soon as he arrived, he was saluted by the soldier who saved me yesterday.
The soldier said to him, “Mr. Kaufman, I’m sorry for your loss.”
