She Took My Place (Ashley and Grace) novel Chapter 78

Chapter 78 

After Grace had gone upstairs, Devin waited downstairs in a cafe. 

Although he was looking at his phone, he kept an eye on the 

passage. 

Seeing Antonio appear, he had a bad feeling. 

Antonio was apparently searching for something. As soon as he spotted Devin, he strode over. 

“Where’s Grace?” Antonio asked in a cold tone. 

When Devin heard this, his heart sank. He had an inkling of what was going on, and his gaze gradually turned cold. 

“What do you want?” 

“I’m looking for her. It’s none of your business.” 

Hearing Antonio’s irritable voice, Devin dropped his usual gentle demeanor. 

“She’s my wife.” 

Those last two words stung Antonio deeply. 

He looked over with a dark expression, his face full of resentment. 

“Devin, what kind of woman can’t you get? Why do you have to compete with me over an assistant? You are way too out of her

league. You should just let her go” 

As Devin heard Antonio‘ disdainful and condescending tone when mentioning Grace, his gaze sharpened. 

“Compete? Grace is an independent person. She’s not a gift to be given away, nor your possession. You have no right, nor the qualifications, to interfere with her life. Antonio, please save your overbearing arrogance for someone else. You two are just really different, okay?” 

His simple words fueled Antonio’s anger, but since they were now in public, he could only suppress it. 

Clenching his fists, he stared at Devin for a long moment before Heaving in anger. 

After Antonio had left in his sports car, Grace’s voice came from behind Devin. 

“What are you looking at?” 

As Devin heard her familiar voice, a faint smile reappeared on his face. He turned and took her handbag. 

Then he replied in a gentle voice, “I was watching two cats fight.” 

Grace didn’t suspect anything and also looked outside. 

Meanwhile, she muttered, “Cats? I thought it was Antonio. Did you see him?” 

When Devin heard the name, a trace of imperceptible coldness flickered in his eyes.

“No. Did you just run into him?” 

“He had Daisy call me. We didn’t talk much before I left and went to the restroom. I thought you might have bumped into him.” 

Noticing that her expression was quite relaxed, Devin let go of his worries. 

He didn’t want her to bother with Antonio anymore, so he quickly changed the subject to their afternoon plans. 

The couple walked out laughing and chatting. 

The whole afternoon, the two were like an ordinary young couple, shopping, watching a movie, taking photos, and dating. 

In the following days, they stayed at home, planning the layout of their villa in the Julstead Hills. 

Their married life was very tranquil, and Grace got used to having Devin by her side. They chatted leisurely about the past, dreams, weather, dinner, and everything in between. 

With each day spent together, their understanding of each other deepened. Their unfamiliarity, estrangement, politeness, and worries all gradually melted away. 

May 18th was Liana’s death anniversary.
