Chapter 7
When my mom heard their argument and hurried out, she saw me standing at the door.
“Grace, you’re finally back. You should talk to Stella. She’s becoming more and more unreasonable.”
Unexpectedly, my mom came to talk to me.
“It’s their business. I won’t intervene.”
With that, I walked toward my room.
My mom didn’t say anything.
I had to admit that she had changed a lot. She used to only see Antonio and Stella.
Maybe when no one took care of the chores at home after I left, she finally realized how useless they were.
I went back to my room and got the delivery from Capdale.
My name was on the tag.
It was from Marco.
My annoyance vanished, and a faint smile crept onto my lips.
I opened the box and saw a red coat inside. The color was festive.
Someone was knocking on the door.
I opened the door and saw Antonio.
“Grace, can we talk?”
“Let’s talk outside.”
Antonio lowered his head. “Sure. Wherever you want.”
In the vard. Antonio started to complain.
“To be honest, I’ve always wanted to marry you.
“Stella is childish. In Seavista, she didn’t work and kept spending my
money.
“If you agree, let’s…”
“Agree to what? To be your mistress and give birth to your child?”
“Grace, it was my fault. Can you forgive me?”
“I forgive you. You can leave now.”
The confidence on Antonio’s face had disappeared. Wrinkles were all over his face, making him look older.
“To be honest, I’ve been dreaming lately.
“In my dreams, we were married, and you were a loving wife who took care of the whole family.”
He covered his head, regretting it. “But I stayed with Stella all the time and ignored your feelings.
“Our daughter made me worried all the time. She dropped out of school at a young age and even forced you to divorce me.”
Chapter 7
This was what happened in my previous life. I didn’t expect him to be able to dream it.
Antonio knelt in front of me.
“Can you give me a chance? I will make it up to you.”
It seemed he regretted it, but he hadn’t changed.
“If you really want to fix things, be with Stella and stay away from me.”
Antonio punched the floor, unwilling. “I shouldn’t have treated you like that. If…”
I didn’t want to hear his meaningless confession.
“Go back. Stella is still your wife. You’re s
shameless.”
I shifted my gaze away from him and went back to my room.
Fate gave both of us another chance.
He was lucky enough. I didn’t have to feel sorry for him.
They kept arguing, and I had lost interest in staying here.
I wanted to go back to school.
Before Christmas, I left home.
Unexpectedly, when I said goodbye to my mom, she grabbed my hand and apologized for biasing Stella.
“Grace, I should have treated you better. Do you blame me?”
I shook my head and put a card on the table.
“You are my mother, and you raised me. I’ll repay you.
“This is what I have saved since I went to the university. It’s not much. But I will save some every year.”
“Grace, you are so kind. I don’t deserve it.”
“I’m leaving. I have an internship at the university.”
I was tired of the arguments at home.
At the train station, I was told that all the trains were canceled because Capdale was having a snowstorm.
It had not been easy for me to find my inner piece back. But now, I was annoyed again.
It was late. Where should I stay the night?
“Grace!”
I turned around and saw Marco behind me.
“Why are you at the train station?” I was surprised.
“To pick up my sister. Do you also live in Southdale?”
“Yes. What a coincidence!”
“But why are you here? Won’t you spend Christmas with your family?”
“I have nowhere to go.”
It was awkward again.
“Do you want to visit my family?”
Chapter 7
“Well… I don’t think it’s a good idea.”
“No worries. It’s only me, my sister, and my grandma.
“Grandma just complained that this Christmas was not festive. If you join us, it will be livelier.
“Please! For the sake of me, please visit my grandma.”
Marco pretended to be pitiful. I couldn’t help but laugh.
“Alright, if you insist.”
