“Honey, thank you so much!”
Shane kissed Grace’s forehead, his eyes filled with tears. It took him a long time to lift his head. Grace had just given birth to twins, a boy and a girl. They were now a family of four. He knew Grace was very sensitive to pain. Therefore, when she was in surgery, he was very anxious outside, unable to sit still until she came out safely.
“Who do the kids look like?” Grace asked with a smile.
“They look like both of us.”
Hearing that, Grace thought, “Do they look like both of us? That’s great. I once wanted to have a child with Antonio, a child that looked like both of us. However, I cruelly gave that child up. Now I have a complete family, and this must be God compensating me for all that I’ve suffered.”
Learning that Grace had a girl and a boy, Antonio smiled happily and thought, “Our unborn child, whether it was a girl or a boy, must also be very cute.”
He bought two villas in Grace’s name and gave them to the two kids. The day Grace received the property deeds, she heard about Antonio’s marriage to Marin Greer, the daughter of the Greer family. She thought perhaps Antonio had also moved on.
“Who wants his villas? I can afford it anyway!”
Shane threw the property deeds on the ground in a huff. Grace didn’t get angry. She knew he would get mad, but she could always calm him down quickly.
