Chapter 15
Antonio was at a loss for words..
Meanwhile, Kyla began to breathe heavily, gasping. “I’m sorry… It’s all my fault. Blame me… Antonio, don’t blame Grace…”
Antonio got worried at once.
He instructed the driver, “To the hospital! Now!”
Turning back, he saw me still in the car and said, “Grace, you’ve gone too far. Go back by yourself.”
He left me on the side of the road.
Under my gaze, the car sped away.
I was so numb that I no longer felt sad. As I looked up at the night sky. I saw that snow had begun to fall.
Osmal City was snowing.
Who knew? I actually got to see the first snow of the year before I left.
I went back to the Parrish’s villa on foot..
The entire villa was decorated festively as my parents were preparing for Kyla’s wedding.
“I feel good about the day after tomorrow. Let’s have their wedding that day. We gotta make sure it’s a grand wedding,” my mom said with a smile.
Yet, my dad sighed. “How time flies. In the blink of an eye, Kyla is about to get married.”
They were both happy and reluctant about Kyla getting married.
I looked at them from afar, realizing how much they loved Kyla.
When I was little, I once watched a TV program about searching for one’s relatives.
A girl was abducted and sold to a village. There, she was renamed and had to serve the couple’s little boy.
Later, the girl grew up and became a successful businesswoman.
After she found her biological relatives, she kept saying to the TV host, “I believe my mom wouldn’t abandon me. She must have been looking for
me.”
The host told her, “Yes. Your mom has never given up looking for you. She loves you very much.
“And your name is ‘Pearl.”
It showed how much her mom loved her.
The woman burst into tears.
She kept saying again and again, “I knew it. My mom would never abandon me.”
Back then, as I watched the show, I was even more determined to find my
mom.
But now, I suddenly regretted it.
Η
I regretted reuniting with my family.
If we hadn’t reunited, they would have remained a beautiful memory in my heart.
I went straight to the storage room without greeting my parents.
I’d be leaving at 9 p.m. tomorrow,
From then on, I’d be totally free. I no longer yearned for family affection. or romantic love.
The day after tomorrow was Kyla and Antonio’s wedding.
Naomi was going to hold a bachelor party for them at home tomorrow.
She invited a lot of trust fund kids, including mutual classmates of mine and Kyla’s.
The next morning, the villa was particularly lively.
Since there wasn’t a bathroom in my room, I had to go out to wash up.
As I passed the living room, I saw a lot of people playing truth or dare. Kyla and Antonio sat in the center, surrounded by everyone.
“Antonio, you lost. Truth or dare?” a playa asked.
Antonio said, “Dare.”
“Kiss Kyla for a minute.”
Kyla lowered her head, blushing.
Naomi grinned. “Come on, guys. It’s a bachelor party; the last day Kyla
and Antonio stay single Can’t you spice things up?”
Then the playa saw me, who wasn’t for away.
He said, “Alright then Antonio, choose any woman here and kiss her for a minute”
The atmosphere instantly heated up.
He pointed at me. “Grace, you used to be obsessed with Antonio, right? He’s getting married. Why don’t you kiss him for one last time? It’ll be something you can think of when you can’t sleep at night.”
Hearing this, Antonio stood up and walked over to me.
When he was about a meter away, Kyla called out, “Antonio…….”
She looked pitiful.
Antonio glanced at her and then at me, lowering his voice. “There are so many people here. I’m about to marry Kyla, and I can’t embarrass her.
“You get it, right?”
I nodded calmly and then turned to wash up.
Behind me, Antonio and Kyla kissed when the others ribbed them
I might need love, but I wasn’t a fool.
He chose her over me. For that, I was utterly grateful.
