“OK then.” Although he said so, he didn’t move.
And when I saw my hands wrapped in gauze, I somehow felt a bit embarrassed.
Then, I sighed helplessly, “Sorry. Looks like I still need your help.”
“It’s fine. Right. I didn’t tell your parents about this. I know you don’t want them to worry.”
Hearing this, I felt warm in my heart and thanked him again, “Thank you!”

I felt a bit guilty when facing Antonio.
Hector, Antonio, and I grew up together.
When we were at school, Hector was an aloof straight–A student, while Antonio was a troublesome teenager, a lively school hunk.
The two of them were very popular among students because of their handsome appearances.
Honestly, Antonio was more handsome than Hector.
It was Hector’s talent that made him outshine Antonio.
In those strangers‘ eyes, Antonio was a rich troublemaker.
But I knew that Antonio just had a rebellious personality.

However, back then, Antonio often got into some fights, looking very much like a bully. And he often bugged me, being a chatterbox around me, which really annoyed me.
On the contrary, Hector liked to read quietly. When he sat there, with sunlight shining through the window on him, his long and thick eyelashes, high nose bridge, and superior jawline were so perfect in my eyes. I sometimes felt that even his hair strands were glowing.
One day, I realized that I had fallen in love with Hector so deeply.
After Antonio knew that I was engaged to Hector, he became less talkative in front of me. After attending my wedding, he went abroad.
But at that time, all I could see was Hector, so I didn’t notice Antonio’s change.
Now, whenever I thought of it, I would feel guilty.
I loved Hector, while Antonio loved me. However, neither of u got what we really loved.
After a week in the hospital, I finally went home.
During that time, Hector didn’t call or visit once.
He probably didn’t even know I was in hospital.
That evening, I was eating dinner when Hector came home.
He went to serve himself some food but found the pot empty

“No food for me?”
I didn’t even look up. “What, didn’t Tessie cook for you?”

“Grace, stop being so mean. I’ve told you a thousand times, there’s nothing between me and Tessie! Stop overreacting here. Apologize to her tomorrow.”
I snatched the ladle he was using to serve soup. “This is my soup. If you’re hungry, go find Tessie! Why should I apologize to her?”
Hector frowned. “You pushed her at the banquet. Who knows what could’ve happened if I hadn’t caught her.”
“Did you see that? What I saw was you shoving me to the ground. If anyone owes an apology, it’s you!”
When he noticed the bandages on my hands, a flicker of guilt crossed his face.
“If you hadn’t pushed her, I wouldn’t have pushed you. I was in a panic.”
“So, between Tessie and me, you’ll always believe her, right?”
“She’s not like you. She doesn’t have anyone to rely on. She’s kind and innocent, grateful for your family’s support, and always careful around you. What more do you want from her? You have to apologize!”
I raised an eyebrow. “What if I don’t?”
I continued, “Are you going to threaten me with divorce again?”
As if I had hit a nerve, his face flushed.

“Hector, as you wish, let’s get a divorce.”
“What did you say?”
“I want a divorce!”
“You can’t just decide that on your own!”

“You love Tessie that much. Don’t you want to marry her?”
He hesitated, muttering, “I don’t…”
“It’s obvious. Stop tying. Let’s get a divorce and make room for you two.”
He suppressed the frustration in his voice. “Grace, our marriage is a business alliance. Divorce would be complicated.”
“It’s not complicated if we really want to…”
“Enough!”
He pulled me into his arms. “I’ve been neglecting you lately. I’ll try to do better. Let’s not talk about divorce anymore, or I
might take it seriously.”
“Hector, I’m not playing hard to get. I really want a divorce.”
He ignored me, tilting my head to kiss me.
I turned my face away.
I felt disgusting.
Hector stormed out. He didn’t come back.

Given the complicated financial ties between us, it was better to plan ahead.
I was still the project manager at the Bertram Group.
Since I was leaving, I wanted a clean break.
I went to the office to finalize everything after my resignation was approved.
That’s when I ran into Tessie.
She was dressed in designer clothes, strutting around like she owned the place.
“Grace, I heard you had a miscarriage. Tsk tsk, seems like even fate isn’t on your side.”
I frowned. “How do you know about that?”
