The following evening, Grace was in the yard with Austin, pushing him on the swing. Their laughter echoed in the yard.
With a sidelong glance, Grace caught sight of Brian standing nearby.
She wasn't sure how long he had been standing there, looking slightly absent-minded.
Grace looked at him, paused for a moment, and smiled lightly.
She wanted to say something, but he had already walked towards the living room. Just as he took a couple of steps, a soft, childish voice sounded from behind.
"Daddy! Come push me!" Austin said.
Brian halted his steps, turned to look at Austin, and a gentle smile spread across his face.
Grace stepped aside to make room for Brian. Austin was pushed so high on the swing that it seemed like she was about to fly off, giggling all the while.
Watching them, Grace suddenly felt that a child really could not live without a father or a mother.
it was not until Jaclyn came out to call them in for dinner did Grace snapped out of her reverie, and her gaze met Brian's.
He had fine beads of sweat on his forehead. Grace was about to reach out to wipe it when Brian averted his gaze, taking Austin's hand as they walked into the living room.
Grace looked at the tissue in her hand and silently put it back into her pocket.
Grace could tell that Brian was giving her the silent treatment.
Since that was the case, she thought it might be a good opportunity to calm down and reflect, as there were many issues between them that needed addressing.
However, Grace didn't have the chance to talk to him properly before something unexpected happened.
