Chapter34
“Because just the thought of you fooling around with another woman with my name on your body makes me sick!”
Grace nearly blurted it out.
But with only three days left, she couldn’t afford to jeopardize everything now.
So, Grace suppressed her disgust and said, “I had it removed to get a new one.”
She added, “I was planning to give you a surprise.”
“Is that so?”
Antonio should have been relieved.
But for some reason, he felt a lingering unease.
It felt as though he was about to lose her…
Grace took the opportunity to stand up and put some distance between them.
“Do you remember this hourglass? I found it while cleaning today.”
“Mm, back then, you were reading a novel about the desert and felt so melancholic.” Recalling the past, Antonio couldn’t help but smile. “So I took you to the real dessert and collected this sand.”
Grace asked, “So, does your heart still feel the same as before?”
Without thinking, Antonio quickly replied, “Yes, just like before. It’s never changed!”
Grace allowed him to kiss the back of her hand, gazed at him intently, then smiled faintly.
That smile succeeded in dispelling the worry in Antonio’s eyes.
He froze for a moment.
Today, Grace seemed unusually cheerful and talkative.
As long as she was happy, he was happy.
Antonio glanced at the prominent wedding photo again and told himself that he probably was just overthinking.
With that thought, his furrowed brow relaxed.
