I ask . Chapter2 ? 電話 : 288 Vol He immediately snatches it away from my grasp . Its not for you . I nod , keeping all my emotions at bay until he reaches the corner of the road . Pull up over here , please . What for ? he asks , but I dont answer him . I just head to the shop in the distance . A few months ago , I decided to have a wedding dress custom- made for me . But now , I dont think I have any use for it . I just need to have the whole thing canceled and destroyed . But just as I walk into the shop , Antonio follows me . He shoves my coat on my face , shouting , Why do you always leave your stuff , Grace ? Im tired of picking up after you . Antonio is a neat freak . He doesnt like when I leave some of my stuff in his car . But I look at the coat he tries to give me , and I notice something . Thats not my coat . His irritation vanishes at once . He picks it up , his expression , now considerably softer than when we started talking . I know that its because the coat belongs to Cecilia Smith . Chapter22 1288 Mouch Every time she leaves something in his car , it only leads to a big fight between me and Antonio . This time , however , it doesnt lead to anything at all . I dont feel the need to complaint anymore . I just approach the desk and smile at the lady . HI , Im the one who came in for a custom design . Perfect ! the lady says . Your wedding dress and the suit are both done . You can try them on now . I can reserve a showroom for both of you . I open my mouth to say no , but Antonio is already heading inside with a grumpy expression . I have no choice but to try on my dress . After changing into it , I head out to look at myself in the mirror . Antonio is there , watching me . He frowns . You dont look good in white . Ignoring him , I turn to the lady and hand her my phone . Can you take a picture of us ? He grumbles , walking towards me as the lady gets ready to snap a picture . But just as the lady is about to click , his phone rings with that special ringtone . 24.38 % 11.01 Chapter22 The ringtone for Cecilia . He answers without walking away , his mood already visibly improved . Is everything okay ? I need my coat , she says sweetly . Oh , if you can just give it back to me , I would owe you . Ill be on my way he says . I can just kiss you right now ! she says before they hang up . Without looking at me , he leaves , still in his suit . I hear his car roaring away . My heart breaks . I take a deep breath and reach for the scissors in the corner , tearing a huge chunk off my wedding dress . ** Its late now . One in the morning to be exact . Ive already gone home alone , and thats the only time Antonio decides to send me a text . Still at the bar , it reads . Eight years together , and this is the first time Antonio took the time to tell me where he is . Since Im cleaning the house , I dont send him a reply . Chapter 22 I just take a hot shower and go to bed , immediately falling asleep . The next morning , as I was on my way out to dumb my trash , I run into Antonio . Hes marching towards my apartment with an angry expression . Is your phone broken or something ? I shake my head . He lets out a breath . I know why hes upset . Its because I used to call him nonstop when he goes out late , and last night , I just slept . He barges into my apartment , looking around like hes expecting to see something . Then , he notices my wall . We used to have a picture here . Where did you put it ? Antonios glance falls on the trash bag on the floor . I open my mouth to tell him that Ive thrown it away , his phone rings . He smiles and starts a voice message . Hold on , Cici . Im going to see you right away . I still have your coat . Strangely enough , he doesnt leave immediately . He just watches me as I bring the trash out and come back . Im tired , since I havent eaten dinner or breakfast , so I grab the toast after I wash my hands . 50 : 361 Chapter22 As I eat it , I notice that hes watching me in disgust . Are you really that hungry ? he asks . Why do you need to shove it all in there ? 285 ( Vouchers He grabs the rest of the toast and shakes it into the bin . I watch him , mouth agape . The audacity is killing me . I cooked for you for eight years , I say , but I cant even have my full breakfast in peace without you making a big deal about it ? Antonio fixes me a cold glance . I own this house . I make the rules . You didnt even ask me before you ate it . You simply have no manners . Shaking his head , he puts on his jacket and storms lout , leaving me to face another round of coldness . But what else is new ? I sit down , opening my socials and seeing that Antonio added a picture to his wall . Its a photo of Cecilia wearing cat ears . I place a like on it , just so he knows I saw it . 110 Then I get ready for work . During my lunch , I decide to meet with a property manager to assess the apartment . But as soon as I walk in , the first thing I I see is Antonio and Cecilia sitting and smiling at each other . I totally forgot about the fact that we all work in the same company . Cecilia has her back turned to him , her hair down while hes trying to gather it all up into a ponytail . When she sees me , she immediately pouts , turning to me and saying , Grace , look at Antonio ! Hes been messing with my hair all day . I mean , how much longer can he do this ? Before I can say anything , Antonio wraps his arm around her neck like hes playing wrestling with her . Liars are not welcome here ! Cecilia blushes . Antonio finally turns around to face me and says , Good thing we all met up here , even if its a coincidence . Why dont we all have lunch together ? This is the first time he invited me for lunch , even though I know for a fact that he and Cecilia go to lunch everyday together . But I just smile . I cant join you today . Im in the middle of something . I hope you enjoy , though . Chapter22 Antonios smile slides right off his face . He looks at me , and I know he doesnt expect that . But just shrug and leave , only for them to join me in the elevator . The thing moves , but then it sputters and turns dark . I let out a gasp and Cecilia screams . The elevator just malfunctioned . I hurriedly open my flashlight , only to see Antonio holding Cecilia in his arms . Shes shaking like a damsel in distress , and even when the power comes back on , she still softens .
