Chapter 20
Seeing Antonio’s crazed face in front of her, Grace couldn’t help but feel
ironic.
“Antonio, you always claimed to love me, so why didn’t you find out the truth when Juliet falsely accused me? Why did you agree to Juliet’s plan for revenge without telling me the truth?”
“Don’t make any excuses. I have given you a chance. During that big fire, I asked you if you would come back. At that moment, I was thinking, if you could immediately turn around and pull me out of the fire, I could forgive you. Everything from the past could be forgotten.”
“But how did you do it at that time?”
Grace’s long speech, however, resulted in Antonio’s prolonged silence.
That big fire had already passed for too long, so long that Antonio was almost forgetting the scene at the beginning.
But he still remembers that he didn’t answer her back then, he just hesitated for a moment and left without looking back.
“You could leave me in the big fire, why would you think I would stay for you?”
Grace dropped these words and was about to leave, but Antonio quickly realized what was happening.
“Stop her!”
Grace turned back in disbelief and exclaimed, “Antonio!”
She thought that as long as Antonio still felt guilty towards her, he would not stop her.
Antonio slowly walked towards her, and this time his hand finally touched Grace’s face.
“Grace. you always found fault with me before.”
I have already received the punishment I deserved. Why don’t we turn the page on the past and start over? I know you still hold a grudge against me, so in the future. I will slowly make it up to you, okay?
“Not good!”
Grace suddenly turned her head and dodged his hand.
Perhaps due to extreme disappointment, her voice choked up a little.
“Antonio, you have already ruined me once, do you want to ruin me again?”
“Do you have to push me to death before you’re satisfied?”
Antonio’s eyes flickered with pain, but quickly turned into determination: “Grace, I will not let you die anymore.”
After that day, Grace was forcibly kept by Antonio.
In order to make her appearance more plausible, Antonio specifically held a press conference.
And publicly explain that Grace did not die, but only pretended to be dead and left because she was angry with him.
After more than a year of his efforts, Grace was finally won over by him. and returned to his side.
When he said these words, Grace was sitting beside him.
She coldly watched his pretentious affection and the tearful eyes of the reporters in the audience.
There was a moment when she really wanted to snatch the microphone from Antonio’s hand and expose his true identity to the outside world.
But in the end, she didn’t do anything.
year, her a
Having been away for over a in the conversation was simply no match for Antonio’s.
Even if Grace did say it, the journalists in the audience would only consider it as a little amusement between them.
After the press conference, perhaps to show Antonio’s love for Grace, for over a month, he would always bring her wherever he went.
On the cruise ship, he celebrated Grace’s birthday by setting off two hundred thousand fireworks, which lit up the entire sky.
At the auction, he spared no expense for Grace and successfully bid on the most expensive emerald grandmother necklace.
In the VIP suite of luxury goods, countless precious dresses and jewelry filled the entire room, allowing Grace to choose freely.
Grace stood in front of the dressing mirror, with a numb look in her eyes, watching Antonio behind her as he laid out one exclusive designer dress after another, asking for her opinion.
She just silently watched the two people in the mirror without saying anything, and Antonio was not angry.
He casually threw the dress in his hand to the store manager beside him,
asking her to wrap up all these dresses.
The shop assistant had encountered demanding customers before, but meeting someone like Antonio who spent tens of millions in one go was a first for the store manager.
So the store manager’s smile on his face became even more sincere, and he said all the nice words.
“Mrs. Kaufman was really lucky to have Mr. Kaufman who loved her so much.”
I hope the two of you could always be united and grow old together.
Antonio had heard countless compliments in the business world, but it was the first time that such sincere words had truly touched his heart.
Feeling increasingly joyful, he casually glanced at the display case that Grace was staring at: “Let’s wrap those up as well.”
The store manager had a big smile on his face, while quickly directing the staff and taking Antonio outside to settle the bill.
Finally, Grace, who had been daydreaming in the distance, finally stirred.
The thought popped into her mind again.
Do you want to escape?
