Chapter 45

Chapter 45 After a while, I heard Antonio’s hoarse voice. “Why did I hear a man’s voice by your side?”

I chuckled. “It’s not your business, is it?” “Of course, it is!”

I had never heard of such a cranky voice from Antonio. He yelled, “We haven’t divorced yet! I haven’t signed the agreement! I don’t wanna lose you!

“Why do you leave me alone? Why aren’t you jealous anymore? Grace, please come back. I miss you, very much.”

“That’s too late,” I interrupted him with a gentle voice, “I don’t love you anymore.”

I heard Antonio sobbing from the other side of the phone. I ignored him and hung up the call immediately. I then contacted the lawyer to help me with the agreement. After what I had been through in the last marriage, I couldn’t be more sober.

Since we couldn’t solve it on our own, I didn’t mind suing him to get the divorce. No matter how hard it would be, I wouldn’t waste my life on Antonio anymore.

After the dinner, I was quite sober, yet Alexander seemed to 0.00%

Chapter 45 get wasted. The colleagues all suggested that I send him home.

Some female colleagues even tried to make fun of us.

“Who called you just now? Another pursuer? Did Alex drink the wine for nothing?”

Now I understood. The party was meant to make things work between Alexander and me. Yet I shook my head and decided to be honest.

“It was my husband.”

The sound of breaking glass came through. I turned around, only to see Alexander dumbfounded from afar. The whole room fell into silence because of what I had said.

I was born to be a bummer.

I helped Alexander get into the car. He looked dizzy, yet his eyes had been fixed on me all the time.

I lowered to fasten the seat belt for him, yet he took the chance to hold me in his arms. I struggled to let go of myself, yet it didn’t work. I ended up listening to his heart pounding.

He asked, frustrated, “Am I too late?”

Chapter 45 The night was quiet. I heard nothing but a few insects humming.

11 zee wody I asked, “Alexander, would you like to hear about my story?”

On the way back, I kept talking while Alexander remained silent all the time.

Sometimes, I even suspected that he had fallen asleep. Yet every time I paused, he would open his eyes to stare at me, signaling me to go on telling my story.

I couldn’t help but tell him everything I felt.

I only realized when I walked him home that I seemed to have talked too much to him, though he turned out to be a good listener.

I apologized to him yet Alexander touched my head. “Grace.”

The moon had coated him with silver light. He then said, “Love is no sin. Trashing love is. I’ll wait for you until the day you regain the courage to accept my love.”

At midnight, I was woken up by a phone call. When the call went through, I heard Lucy crying.

I was quite annoyed since she woke me up at night. Thus, I asked impatiently, “What on earth do you want from me?” It 38.44%

Chapter 45 was rare that Lucy treated me quite nicely.

1288 Vouchers She used to patronize and scold me all the time as if I were a bitch who had seduced her son. She even found fault with me from time to time for Vivian’s sake.

Yet this time, she sounded quite cautious. “Grace, is this a good time?” I reminded her coldly, “It’s three in the morning here.

What do you think?”

“I... I’m so sorry, Grace, but it’s urgent. Could you please help us clarify it? Just tell the public that Antonio and you have divorced.

“Grace, I’m sorry. I know it’s not fair for you, but we have run out of solutions. Please, have some mercy on me. Antonio lost his dad a long time ago. If anything happens to Antonio, I won’t be able to live.”

Only then did I picture what had happened.

I checked the social media with my tablet and found that someone had exposed Antonio’s identity. Now everyone knew that Antonio was a married man who was having an affair with Vivian, the home–wrecker.

People were insulting them from platform to platform. Some even made memorial photos for them. Even Chris was said to be their illegitimate son.

Chapter 45 11 288 Vouchers I noticed that on my contact list, Vivian’s profile photo had become all black. She deleted all her posts on Facebook.

I felt more than annoyed. I didn’t expect to be pestered by them even after I started a life abroad.

I completely ran out of patience. I tried hard to hold my anger back and said to Lucy, “You don’t have to play your tricks on me.

Your son refuses to divorce me! I’m more than happy to divorce him. If you don’t want him to suffer anymore, tell him to sign the agreement, right now!”

“Grace, how could you talk to me like that? He’s your husband after all. How could you...” Not after we got a divorce.

I turned off my phone and threw it on the bed.

I couldn’t help but complain about how unfair it was. They caused all the trouble, yet now, Lucy asked me to settle the whole thing for me.

That was out of the question. I didn’t wanna be related to them by any means.
