Chapter 13
They were so close back then, with a relationship where they were inseparable. However, they gradually drifted apart due to various reasons. But fortunately, she always waited for herself in the same place. As long as Grace turned around, Laurel would always be there.
How fortunate I was to be able to meet you in this lifetime, Grace thought.
Now thinking back, it was really not worth it to abandon sisters for a dog
of a man.
The “dog man” Antonio, who was scolded, is currently sneezing in a hotel in Canada.
I don’t know if it was because he stood for too long and caught a cold, or if he felt the scolding from Grace, but Antonio’s sneezes were non–stop, one after another.
When he saw the divorce agreement that he had signed, he went crazy. His mind was filled with the determination to bring Grace back and find out why she had divorced him without saying a word.
So when he received news from Grace, he immediately came to find her. He wanted to question Grace about why she wanted to divorce him.
When he angrily rushed to Grace’s door last night, ready to knock, he heard a conversation between two people inside the room, and he was completely stunned.
In the days when he didn’t care, Grace silently endured so much.
He had never cared about why the house was always so tidy and clean, he
only knew that Grace kept nagging him about being messy and always losing things.
He had never paid attention to why their clothes always looked bright and beautiful, only noticing that Grace was becoming less interested in dressing herself up, to the point where he didn’t even like taking her to various gatherings.
He always took it for granted that he should have a hot meal waiting for him when he came home, but he never paid attention to the fact that. Grace also had to work and come back to cook for him.
Antonio thought more and more that he was not a good person, enjoying Grace’s efforts without any guilt. However, as her appearance was worn down by family responsibilities, his attention was drawn to fresh faces.
He always thought he didn’t do much. He just took care of Natalie for a few days while she was in the hospital, and he just took her out to play for a few days when she said she was feeling down.
As he was thinking, Antonio slapped himself, getting angrier and angrier. He wished he could go back in time and slap his past self to death. What had he been doing all these years?
Don’t say Grace divorced him, if she treated herself with the same attitude, she might not have been able to endure it for even half a year and would have run away.
“You are such an animal, Antonio,” Antonio thought.
What should I do now? Antonio is in the room, furrowing his brow, unsure of what to do. Should he let Grace go? He can’t bring himself to do
Won’t he let go? How can he have the audacity to disturb her life?
In a moment of great helplessness, he dialed Alden’s phone number. It rang for a long time before the other party finally answered the call.
Alden’s irritated voice came from the opposite side. “What are you up to so late at night?”
Antonio took a glance at his phone and confirmed that it was indeed nighttime in his home country, but he still made the call.
He spoke in a muffled voice, “My wife really didn’t want me anymore.”
“Wasn’t it your own fault?” With a groggy mind, the words slipped out without much clarity. After saying it, Alden was momentarily stunned, and all drowsiness vanished.
“No. I didn’t mean that…”
Antonio hesitated for a moment and said, “Indeed, I deserved it.” It turned out that everyone had understood, except for himself who had been.
deeply involved but couldn’t comprehend.
“But what should I do now? I can’t bear to let go, but I don’t have a position to chase after it.”
“Brother advises you, if you are truly certain that you cannot live without her, then go ahead and pursue her again with confidence. At least you have made the effort, regardless of the outcome. But if you are still the same as before, it is better to let go as soon as possible, for the sake of both of you.
After hanging up the phone, Antonio stayed on the bed for a while, took out his phone, and sent a message to Laurel.
Let Grace come out and meet me, there are some things I need to clarify with her in person.
