Chapter 4 As soon as I stepped out of the airport , I saw Antonio waiting for me in the arrivals area .
Surprised , I walked up to him .
Mr.
Steers , why did you come in person ? He took my luggage and strode out .
I paused for a moment , then hurried to catch up with him .
After getting into the car , he explained to me , My grandfather , as well as your parents , wanted your first sight upon landing in Kingston to be me , so I canceled my meeting to come and pick you up in person .
I was baffled , unsure if he wanted me to compliment him .
Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to pick me up .
Hearing this , Antonio didnt seem pleased .
Instead , the atmosphere grew more awkward .
Just as I was about to say something to ease the tension , he turned to look at me , his expression strangely tinged with shyness .
Thia … Hearing this term of endearment from his mouth , I was so shocked that my eyes widened .
Antonio , on the other hand , shed his shyness , as if I had just misread him .
Chapter 4 2/4 We are going to be husband and wife , so I hope you can change how you address me .
Also , theres no need for such formality between us .
Under his gaze , I awkwardly spoke , Alright , Antonio .
He nodded in satisfaction , turned around , and drove off .
Actually , I had known Antonio for a long time .
He was a legend during my high school years .
All the alumni had heard of his legendary stories and had seen his ID photo always hanging high on the list of outstanding alumni .

I saw him again at the banquet where Annie offended that investor .
I was socializing with clients when he entered the banquet hall , surrounded by people .
He had always been that dazzling .
When I got home , my parents were already waiting at the front door .
I was excited and wanted to rush forward to hug them , but they walked past me and greeted Antonio behind me .
I turned around to see my mother holding his arm and greeting him warmly , while my father took my luggage from Antonios hands , smiling .
Antonio , I made your favorite seafood soup .
You must try it .
Anto , you must play chess with me after dinner .
Chapter 4 Antonio smiled and replied , Sure , I will .
3/4 I awkwardly withdrew my outstretched hand .
Dad , Mom , Im back .
My mother glared at me .
I know .
Come inside .
Sitting in the living room , I felt uneasy , like an outsider .
My father was playing chess with Antonio , and my mother was cooking .
I sneaked into the kitchen .
When I hugged my mothers waist , I felt her body stiffen .
My nose tingled , and I choked up , Mom , Im sorry .
My mother sighed , put down the spoon , turned around , and hugged me .
Its all in the past .
Staying in my mothers embrace , my empty heart gradually warmed up .
After graduation , I faced many difficulties and endured them alone .
I never mentioned my hardships when I called my family .
My mother always urged me to come home , but I always brushed her off with coquetry .
It wasnt until she found out that I was suffering because of Henry that she strongly opposed it every time she called me .
Chapter 4 After a big fight with them , I called them less and less .
The love of parents for their children is profound and far reaching .
It wasnt until I was utterly hurt that I realized the deep meaning of this saying .
4/4 In the living room, my dad looked at the two embracing figures in the kitchen and pretended not to care as he wiped away tears .
He looked at Antonio .
Antonio , thank you for bringing Cynthia back .
Antonio withdrew his gaze , a hint of imperceptible warmth in his eyes .
He smiled and said , Youre welcome .
Its my honor that Cynthia chose me .
