Chapter 75

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.

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.

She never thought that he would have a baby with another
