Divorcing my billionaire husband (Antonio and Grace)

Chapter 68

"Sorry, Grace, but Dad and Mom just worry about me. Even though Kevin came to visit me but not you, it doesn't mean that he doesn't care about you. We all do, really. Maybe next time, I can get them to your parent-teacher conference?"

I'll stay on campus for the rest of my senior year. If she wants my room, she can have it. Are we all happy now?"

My brother's hand froze mid-air.
