Chapter 106

The day Russell was discharged from the hospital, Grace was there to pick him

up.

Russell asked with a smile, "Where are Antonio and Omar?"

Grace checked her watch and replied, "Omar's at

kindergarten. It's Friday today, so Antonio is also busy with work." Russell's face fell at her words.

He suggested, "Why not call Antonio to join us for a family meal?"

Not wanting to spoil Russell's mood, Grace decided to take a day off and headed to the Kaufman Group for Antonio.

It brought back memories of her previous visits to Antonio's workplace when she always got a cold shoulder. It got so bad that he finally lost his patience and gave her a warning.

At the lobby, the receptionist greeted her warmly, "Ma'am, how may I help you?" Grace gathered herself and said with a smile, "I'm here to see Antonio."

The receptionist guided her to an office and then excused herself.

Kendra, with a look that could melt hearts, added, "Grace, please don't be angry with Antonio. It's all my fault."

Grace, in an oddly calm voice, asked, "Is the baby she's expecting yours?"

Antonio's silence spoke volumes.

For Grace, his silence was as good as a confession. She'd assumed his distance over the past six years was due to his demanding job.
