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.

As Grace neared the door, she was about to knock when she heard Kendra's sobs from within. Soon after, Antonio's soft and considerate voice sounded. "Kendra, I'll step up once the baby arrives."

Grace stood outside, her heart feeling like it was frozen. Just

then, the office door swung open.

Antonio caught Grace's gaze, surprise fleeting across his face before it settled into indifference.

"I believe I made it clear that you're not to visit my company."

Grace shot back, "If I hadn't shown up, how long would you have kept this a secret?" Antonio's eyes were downcast, and he didn't say a word.

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.
