Chapter47

That night, Antonio came to me. I thought he wanted to learn more about the truth from me, since he realized that Celia had been lying to him.

But I was wrong. He said, “Grace, Celia is innocent. Will you drop the case?”

I couldn’t help but laugh.

I was impressed. Antonio still trusted her after all that had happened.

But, all of a sudden, I felt bad when I saw him looking so haggard.

After the Kaufman Group survived from going bankrupt, Antonio was never in a low spirit again. At least, that was what I had remembered of him.

I rubbed the straw ring in my pocket and changed the topic.

“When did it start? I mean you and her.”

There was a trace of guilt on his face. Then, he subconsciously denied it.

I knew he would deny it. So, I showed him the footage of them kissing from a few years ago.

His face changed color as he saw it.

“Grace, I can explain it. It’s not like what you think…”

I took out the straw ring from my pocket, deadpan. I grabbed his hand and placed that small ring on his palm.

?While the Kaufmans were going through their darkest days, countless debt collectors were after them. Antonio was just a kid at the time, but he was not spared.

?Debt collectors would block the door of his rental home. They would frighten him and force him to tell them where his parents were.

After he managed to get away from them, I was the first person he would come to.

He cried and said, “Grace, my family is broke now. I can’t provide you with a good life after we grow up…”

As he cried, he put this straw ring on my ring finger.

“I made this ring on my way here. Keep it, as if we were already married, OK? Will you not forget about me?”

He was incoherent, but I could feel he really didn’t want to

leave me.

After he cried, he turned around and was about to run away. But he rushed back again.

“No! No! If my family gets rich again, you’ll come back to me, will you?”

“At that time, if you don’t wanna marry me anymore, you can return this ring to me. I will let you go, even if it will hurt me!”

I was only a kid at the time, but somehow I wanted to be with Antonio to my last breath.
