Chapter 72

Grace Parrish’s son and her husband were both smitten with the same woman.

Grace stepped into the study after her shower, still stuck in this realization, bathed in light.

Antonio Kaufman, her husband, was buried in paperwork. He glanced up, a frown on his face. “What’s up?”

Grace paused, standing still a few paces away, and gently asked, “Tomorrow is Omar’s birthday. Will you be here for him?”

“I’ve invited Ms. Jermyn, and she will come,” Grace said without waiting for an answer.

That was the only time Antonio’s head snapped up, at the mention of Kendra Jermyn.

Grace caught his reaction, and it struck her heart, leaving a dull ache.

She forced a smile, trying to sound casual. “I’ve got three surgeries lined up tomorrow, so I won’t make it back. You guys have a great time….”

Omar, their son, adored Kendra, even calling her ‘mommy‘.

“What do you mean?” Antonio asked with a frown.

Grace simply wanted to make her son and her husband

happy.

Antonio would finally have his dream wife, and Omar would have the mother he’d always wanted.
