Divorcing my billionaire husband (Antonio and Grace)

Chapter 27

My mom spent all morning in the kitchen. Dishes spread across the table. She had been waiting for Patrick and me.

At the table, Patrick talked and acted decently. He was charming even when he was eating.

He always had the right thing to reply with when my mom and lan said something.

It was like they had been friends for ages.

This was what I had always wanted. But with Antonio, it never happened.

I had always dreamed of going home with my beloved one, having dinner with my family, and everyone being happy.

Now, Patrick sat there. It felt like it was where he belonged.

After lunch, lan wanted to cut the cake.

I was confused. He never liked sweet foods.

Why was he so anxious today?

My mom whispered to me, "Patrick made the cake himself. He knows you have a sweet tooth. He learned it specially for you."

Today was full of surprises. Still, my heart raced with excitement.

I stole a glance at Patrick, closed my eyes, and made a wish.
