He chuckled, lowered his head, and whispered in my ear, “I’m a jewelry designer.”
I got the point instantly and looked a bit helpless. “Don’t listen to my dad.”
“Ms. Parrish, is it so easy for you to figure out what he told me?”
I cracked a smile and blinked at him. “Good guess, right?”
Kendall was a funny guy. With his company, I actually started to enjoy the night.
While we were chatting, somehow, I felt someone was watching me from my back.
So I turned back and looked, but I didn’t see anyone suspicious.
“What’s up?” Kendall asked.
I shook my head. “No, nothing. I thought I saw someone I knew.”
But when I got out of the bathroom and was about to return to the banquet hall, I realized I wasn’t mistaken.
Antonio was leaning against the wall not far from me. With his arms. folded, he seemed to be waiting for someone.
In fact, I knew this day would come.
However, I was calmer than I thought I would be.
I took a deep breath and tried to pretend that I didn’t see him.

But, this time, he was clearly here for me.
He put his hand in front of me, so I halted my steps.
I stared at him as if asking why.

He looked into my eyes. Then, slowly, he said, “Grace, come home with
me…
I paused. “Antonio, we’re divorced now.
The color of his face changed slightly. “No, not yet. I haven’t signed it.”
I looked at him, confused. “Why not? Don’t you want to be with Isabel?”
“Grace, she’s not the one I love. You’re my wife, and it could only be
you…”
“Seriously? Do you hear yourself?”
I stopped him relentlessly, and his expression hardened.
I backed off, trying to keep a distance from him. Then, I said in a cold tone, “Antonio, you’ve done so much for her. And now you are telling me that you have no feelings for her? Do you think I’ll believe that?
“You said
that you don’t love her. Are you gonna say you love me?”
I had been staring at Antonio, so I could tell he was embarrassed at the
moment.
But I didn’t feel joy at all.
“Antonio, then, I guess your love is too cheap… Now, tell me, who made me suffer from cyber violence? And who locked me at home?
“Antonio, your love now only makes me sick. So, please, don’t love me.

After I finished my words, the color drained from his face.
He pulled my hand and looked panicked. “Grace, I can explain…”
My eyes grew red as I looked at him. I said word by word, “It’s over between us. Everything I had suffered from you, I had it coming.”
I jerked my hand from his grasp and headed to the banquet hall.
But before I got there, I was embraced by a warm hug.

Antonio’s hoarse voice echoed in my ear, “Grace, I’m sorry. Don’t leave me, please…”
I didn’t speak but just broke free from his grip..

I was about to say something when another voice suddenly sounded, “Mr. Kaufman, how dare you say that?”
Kendall walked over and stood in front of me.
He smiled at Antonio and said again, “Mr. Kaufman, as also a jewelry designer, you should know that the people around us are our greatest source of inspiration.
“But for six years, you’ve never designed anything for Ms. Parrish, your wife. Mr. Kaufman, if you really valued her, you wouldn’t have treated her like this.”
After speaking, Kendall took out a box from his pocket. Inside was a beautiful bracelet.
“I designed this especially for you. Is it beautiful?”
The word “especially” was emphasized by Kendall.
A smile flickered in my eyes as I knew he was trying to defend me.

I held out my hand for him to put it on.
Looking at the bracelet adorned with blue gemstones on my wrist, I smiled and said, “It’s beautiful, thank you.”
