The Lies He Told Me 172

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.

"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.
