Chapter18 When I arrived at the police office , Antonio had settled the incident with the other party . Covering the bloody scratches on his face , he hurried to come to me the moment he saw me at the police office . Grace , please hear me out ! It wasnt what it looked like ! We were just playing truth or dare . It was a punishment ! Everybody was participating in it . That waitress only filmed it because she got us wrong . Vivian seemed to be apologizing , yet I could tell how contented she was from her eyes . Im sorry , Grace . We grew up together . Im used to getting along with them like this . Dont worry about it . Theres nothing going on between Antonio and me . Before I could say anything , the waitress staggered out of the police office and spat at Vivian . You bitch ! 0007 11:00 Chapter18 Vivians face turned pale at once while Antonio stared at the waitress , holding his fists tightly . Vivian couldnt help but cry as if she had been wronged . Grace , please believe in us . Antonio and I have nothing to hide from you . I nodded . Well , sure . Lets call it a day , OK ? Antonio could tell that something went wrong with me . He thus stood up to settle the situation . When I pulled open the door on the passengers side , a kid was sitting in the seat . He made a funny face when he saw me . Wicked woman ! You bitch ! I heard nothing but vicious intention in his childish voice . Oh , Chris ! How could you say that ? Vivian turned to Antonio , only to find him silent with hands on his face . She then added , I dont know where he learned that from . Grace , please dont take it personally . 15 55 % 11.001 Chapter 18 268 Vouchers Its just he likes Antonio . He even wanted Antonio to be with him last time he got a fever . Im sure Antonio will become a good father ! I didnt break down as she had expected . Instead , I simply nodded and said , I think youre right . Antonios face turned even more deadpan . He thought for a while before he said , Since then , why dont you drive ? Chris will join us in the back seats . He was trying to irritate me . He wanted to see me jealous . Yet when I saw the three of them standing together , I didnt feel annoyed at all . Antonio was no longer the man that could affect my mood all the time . Chris didnt sense anything unusual . He thought that he had helped her mom to win back his dad . He was thus quite proud . The three of them sat in the back seats with Chris sitting in between . They looked like a family of three . Antonio remained silent all the way , frowning . 11:00 Chapter18 285 Mouchers ! To light up the atmosphere , Vivian took the initiative to say , Grace , I heard from Victor that you tended to get jealous all the time . Yet the way I see it , youre not what they think you are . I simply nodded as I drove , yet somehow Vivian felt encouraged . Antonio is a very decent man . He has been taking care of Chris and me . Chris grew up without a dad . Though he never mentions it , I know that he always wants a father . Im wondering whether Antonio can join us in the family park next Sunday if you dont mind . With Chris around , Antonio and I wont do anything that crosses the line . I pulled up the car and turned around with a smile . You dont have to ask for my permission . Hes an adult . He makes his own decisions . Grace ! Antonio frowned even harder . He opened the door for Vivian and Chris . Before he walked the two of them upstairs , he went back to the car , asking me to switch seats with him . He wanted me to see in the front seat , yet I went to the back . Why dont you sit beside me ? Are you mad ? shook my head . Im just tired . 11.00 Chapter 264 Mouche Without Chris and Vivian , the car fell into silence . I found the quietness suffocating . Finally , Antonio broke the silence . I promise this is the last time . When its done , Ill talk to Vivian and Chris . Grace , please trust me . I nodded under his gaze of expectation . He let out a sigh of relief , feeling lucky to get away one more time . Yet he didnt know that my heart had already died as my love for him perished . I couldnt care less . Next Sunday , I would fly abroad anyway. Out of guilt , Antonio treated me very well in the coming week . He even took the initiative to make me breakfast . Yet he was not a good cook . What he cooked was barely edible . I thanked him and threw away the lunchbox he prepared me every morning after leaving home He started to text me very often , telling me where , with whom , and what he was doing . That was something he used to do when we had just been together . At the very beginning , I never asked him to tell me his whereabouts . He always took the initiative to do that .
