Divorcing my billionaire husband (Antonio and Grace)

Chapter 67

The parent-teacher day came around.

Seeing my classmates with their parents, I felt a growing resentment toward Ashley. I often found myself wondering, who was the real child here, her or me?

No answers came my way.

After the conference, I packed it up and headed home, the same as always.
