Chapter41
Across the street, a figure Antonio was familiar with, holding a bouquet of lilies of the valley, was opening a car door and was about to get in.
“Grace! Grace…”
In that second, Antonio, who had almost given up, shouted desperately, his heart beating frantically again.
He scrambled up, vaulted over the railing, and rushed over, throwing caution to the wind.
However, the car had already started.
Without hesitation, he rushed in front of the car, stopping it with his own body.
The screeching sound of tires scraping the ground pierced the air.
Every passer–by was shocked by Antonio’s crazy moves.
A minute later, a woman got out of the car.
It was Grace, the woman he had pined for every day.
All of a sudden, his entire world became so quiet.
He even forgot to breathe.
He forgot when it was and where he was.
All he did was stare at her.

Then, trembling all over, he got up with difficulty and held her tightly, tears streaming down his cheeks. He had lost all his rationality and dignity, acting merely on the most instinctive impulses of his body.
His mind was filled with only one thought. If this was a dream, he just wanted to be in it forever.
However, in the next second, the woman broke free forcefully and scanned his face. After a while, she said coldly, “Who are you?”
It seemed she didn’t know him.
Antonio trembled. His heart sank before he even had a chance to rejoice.
Clutching her shoulders, he said, his voice shaking, “Grace, it’s me. I’m Antonio. Your damned husband Antonio!”
She frowned slightly, remaining indifferent. “I don’t know you. Please let go.”
“No. Grace, don’t punish me like this. Please… I’m begging
you…
“Over the past year, I’ve spent every day repenting and missing you.
“Finally, I found you. Don’t pretend that you don’t know me,
OK?”
However, no matter how sincerely he pleaded, she wasn’t moved at all.
On the contrary, she repeated coldly with a look of disgust, “Please let go.”

“No! Never! I’ll never let you slip away from me again! I swear!”
In the next second, someone pulled Antonio away and punched him to the ground with great force.
Another man looked down at him, narrowing his eyes, which were tinged with dangerous glint.
“Get your hands off my fiancee. Piss off!”
“You know, you didn’t have to get out of the car earlier at all.”
The man driving the car suddenly said meaningfully.
Alison was looking outside the window. Hearing this, she turned to look at Javon Murphy and gently shook her head.
“Even if I didn’t get out, he wouldn’t have given up. I know him.”
“What’s your plan then?”
Javon glanced at her deeply, trying to have a clue about how she felt right now.
She just smiled, “I don’t have a plan.
“I’m Alison now. For Alison, he’s nothing.”
As she spoke, he stopped the car in front of a house.
Javon’s dad, Vincent Murphy, and Javon’s mom, Eva Murphy, along with their goofy Alaskan malamute, were already waiting for them eagerly at the door.
