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.

She never thought that he would have a baby with another
