Chapter14 The first thing that popped into Antonios mind was that people went to City Hall to get married .
But why would Grace go there ? Grace looked down .
If Antonio could marry someone else , why couldnt she ? But how was she supposed to tell him ? Even now , he was still lying , treating her like a fool .
An old friend , she eventually replied .
A guy or a girl ? Grace was amused .
Would he care if she hung out with another man ? A guy .
Antonios face darkened .
His grip on the lunchbox tightened , his knuckles turning white .
What are you two going there for ? Grace had thought about testing Antonio to see if he had any feelings for her at all , but she dropped the idea eventually .
Even if he did have feelings for her , so what ? It wouldnt amount to a fraction of what he felt for Keyla .
She had been .
foolish to hold on to any hope .
A consultation .
With no intention of continuing the conversation , Grace turned to leave , only to bump into his lunchbox , sending the Chapter 1 food spilling onto the floor .
They both stood there in silence for a long moment .
Then , Grace grabbed a cloth to clean up , but Antonio snatched it from her .
If youre not feeling well , just go rest .
Ill clean it up .
In the past , Grace never let him do any chores .
But today , she simply walked away without a backward glance .
Antonios hand froze mid wipe .
When he looked up again , she had already closed her bedroom door .
A strange frustration crept into Antonio .
Grace had been acting different these past two days .
No more smiles , and no more phone calls urging him home .
She barely even talked to him .
She used to love chatting with him so much , never running out of things to say .
What changed ? Antonio shook his head , telling himself that she probably was just not feeling well .
After a long while of hesitation , Antonio knocked on Graces door .
She opened the door and was surprised to see Antonio holding something freshly cooked in his hand .
The food was still steaming , but she had no appetite for it .
The food spilled , so I made something else .
Thank you .
Just as Grace took it , Laney appeared at the doorway .
Grace , you really missed out ! The food that was spilled was very expensive .
I barely had a few bites before my brother packed it up for you .
Graces face paled .
Was Laney saying that it was their leftovers ? In their eyes , was she no better than a beggar on the street ? Antonio noticed her reaction and tried to explain , but before he could , Laney tugged him away .
Antonio , I need your signature for a school form .
Grace stood there , holding the food , her fingers trembling .
She shut the door and dumped all the food into the trash .
This was the first time Antonio had ever made her food , but she felt no joy at all .
Grace picked up her phone .
Laneys class group chat was filled with notifications .
Grace had always handled those before .
After a long while of hesitation , she made one last reply and left the group .
Antonio was also in the chat group .
What happened next was no longer her concern .
Just then , a message from Laney popped up .

Grace , do you have no shame ? Why cant you just let my brother go ? He doesnt love you .
How long are you going to keep lying to yourself ? Oh , and dont bother responding to group messages from now on .
I just added Keyla to the chat group .
Grace had put up with Laneys attitude for years , thinking it was just immaturity .
Antonio had also told Grace to be patient with his sister .
After all , Laney had lost her mother at a young age .
However , after seeing how hard Laney had tried to get rid of her , Grace realized Laney wasnt just rebellious or naughty .
She was a real bitch .
I already left the chat group .
Your business is no longer my concern .
C < Chaphali Tomorrow , Grace would finally cut ties with the two siblings .
And surprisingly , Grace didnt feel sad at all ; instead , she felt .
relieved .
After three years of being their doormat , it was time to start living for herself .
