Chapter 46
Omar and Colin both called Grace “Mom“, but they didn’t look alike.
Antonio was not surprised by Grace’s performance. He grinned as he dotingly looked at her. “Grace, you look so gorgeous today.”
Grace avoided his hand with an indifferent expression.
She glanced over at the crowd, her voice dull.
“I’m here today just to tell you something.
“I divorced Antonio six years ago. I’m not Mrs. Kaufman. I don’t interact with him anymore. I just want to be myself, Grace Parrish from the Parrish family!” As soon as she finished speaking, everyone stared at her in astonishment.
Antonio’s fingertips, holding the beaded bracelet, paused for a moment; his expression changed, tinged with a hint of anger. “Grace, what do you mean?”
With folded arms, Grace curled her lips coldly. “Antonio, you and I have nothing to do with each other anymore. You’d better let Colin and me go.”
Antonio tightly grasped her wrist, with a hint of anger in his
eyes.
Grace had no fear in her eyes. “Antonio, you make me sick now.”

Antonio’s chest heaved violently, and his voice was dull. “Let’s call it a day. Everyone, please see yourself out.”
The guests looked at each other. No one made a move as if they didn’t understand the situation.
“This place is incredibly animated!” a deep male voice abruptly sounded.
Grace’s heart skipped a beat as she heard the familiar voice.
After glancing at the invitation, the housekeeper shouted, “Let’s welcome the head of the Floyd family, Mr. Rhett Floyd!”
The crowd started gossiping. “The Floyd family? It’s actually the Floyd family! But didn’t the family move abroad long ago?”
“Even so, they are still the most prominent family in the city. Why did the head of the family come here?”
Rhett had sharp facial features and an imposing aura, dressed in a suit.
Colin cried even harder when he saw Rhett. If Omar hadn’t gripped him tightly, he would have run over. “Dad! Dad! Get Mom!”
Upon hearing Colin’s voice, Rhett walked over slowly.
Intimidated by Rhett’s imposing aura, Omar began to perspire lightly and unconsciously released his hold. Colin then ran toward Rhett, who picked him up
Rhett wiped Colin’s tears with a handkerchief and pinched his cheek. “Didn’t you say you’d protect your mother? Why are you crying?”

Colin gritted his teeth, striving to keep himself from crying out. loud. “I’ll protect Mom. I won’t cry”
Grace didn’t expect Rhett to come directly to the Kaufman. family’s banquet. She tried to break free from Antonio’s grip, only to find it unyielding.
Light dawned on Antonio. “Rhett is Colin’s father?”
Grace frowned, not answering his question. “Let go of me! It has nothing to do with you anyway!”
Antonio’s face was gloomy as if he was suppressing something inside. “Why him? Why does it have to be him?!”
Grace’s patience was already at its limit.
“So what? Antonio, what else are you going to do?”
Rhett held Antonio’s hand that was holding Grace’s. Although he was smiling, his eyes looked cold. “Mr. Kaufman, what do you want to do to my wife?”
The crowd burst into an uproar at the words.
“What! Ms. Parrish is actually Mr. Floyd’s wife? What’s going on?”
“This banquet visit today is truly worth it. I guess it will make headlines tomorrow.”
“But if I remember correctly, Mr. Kaufman has a woman. Why isn’t she here?”
“You don’t know? She’s in jail.”

Omar clenched his hands tightly. Those sympathetic and pitiful gazes fell on him intensely.
“Grace can only be mine!” Antonio said, looking at Rhett hostilely, refusing to release his hold although Rhett was grabbing his hand.
A stronger hint of amusement was in Rhett’s eyes, but Grace could tell he was furious.
Not wanting anything out of her control to happen, Grace struggled to break free from Antonio’s grip. “Antonio, I’ve married Rhett. He is the one and only man I love.
“Your Antonio was the one who drugged us back then. She wanted to marry you. If you don’t believe me, you can go ask her in person. I never thought about giving birth to the baby, but Russell pleaded with me, so I kept it.
“Everything between us was a mistake just like how it started.”
Omar suddenly looked at Grace, tears falling silently. He thought, “As it turns out, I shouldn’t have been born in the first place.
“All the mistakes began with me; it was my fault.”
Antonio couldn’t accept this truth. His eyes were bloodshot and full of pain.
“I don’t give a damn about the truth. You say you love him? Why? You love me, don’t you?”
Grace slapped him in the face and said harshly, “Keep your head straight!”

The force of Grace’s slap left her palm numb.
Rhett frowned, a look of distress flashing across his eyes. He held her hand and said coquettishly, “Honey, let’s go home.”
Grace felt frustrated to see him act this way, aware that she would need to cajole him later.
Antonio did not stop them from leaving. He watched their receding backs and closed his eyes in agony.
This banquet had offered such a good show. Everyone left with satisfaction, eager to go home and share it. Grace and Rhett returned to the Floyd’s residence. Despite Colin’s reluctance to leave Grace, the servants dragged him away.
Grace knew from Rhett’s expression that he wanted to make out with her. She turned around and said, “Rhett, Colin needs my company after the ordeal yesterday. Since you’ve just arrived in Drelar City, go get some rest.”
Rhett hooked his pinky finger around Grace’s hand, grinning.
His extremely captivating voice rang Grace’s ears, “Didn’t you miss me these days, Grace?”
Grace flushed, having difficulty to respond, “R–Rhett, calm down.”
Rhett scooped her up, brushed his fingertips across her cheek, and smiled barely perceptibly, “I can’t calm down, Grace. You have no idea how much I miss you.”
Subconsciously, Grace wrapped her arms around his neck, flushing with a smile.
