Omar thought of how Grace had treated him the same way before, hugging him and coaxing him softly, “Omár, be good. You are the most important person to me.”
Scenes from the past seemed so vivid as if they were right before his eyes. But now her mother was holding another child. Omar turned around and wiped the tears from his face.
Antonio walked forward and held Grace’s shoulders worriedly. “Grace, are you okay?”
Grace’s bloodshot, hateful eyes were fixed on Antonio.
“What do you want? I won’t disturb your life with Kendra, and I don’t like you anymore. Why do you want to hurt my child?”
Antonio held her shoulders stubbornly.
“You never got upset with me over a child before. You loved me more than anyone else, right? Why have you changed in the past six years? Do you know how I lived without you in those years?”
After placing Colin on the sofa, Grace slapped him hard in the face. “I don’t care how you live. What did Colin do wrong? How could you have the heart to hurt a four–year–old child?”
Antonio’s chest heaved violently, with a hint of grievance.
“You must come back to the Kaufman family with me today!”
Under Grace’s shocked gaze, he scooped her up. “You can only

be mine.”
Grace struggled desperately, her face full of disgust. “Don’t touch me! You’re disgusting!”
Antonio ignored her, holding her tightly.
Grace’s face was full of disgust, but the disparity in their strength was too great for her to break free. Colin cried and fell off the sofa, shouting, “Mom! Don’t take my mom away.” Grace struggled more fiercely, staring at Antonio with hatred.
“If anything happens to Colin, I won’t let you off!”
Omar was about to move forward when he saw Colin fall, but he changed his mind. He couldn’t let Colin take his mother away.
However, Omar softened at Colin’s crying.
He walked forward and picked up Colin. “I’ll take you home. Mom will live there too.”
Colin didn’t like Omar. Even at this young age, Colin sensed his mother’s complicated feelings for Omar. When they got in the car, Grace quickly snatched Colin out of Omar’s arms.
Colin hugged Grace’s neck, sobbing. “Don’t be afraid, Mom. I’m a man. I’ll protect you like Dad does.”
Grace hugged Colin cherished, feeling distressed and touched. “Silly child, I’m sorry. I made you suffer.”
Colin kissed Grace on the cheek. “When you’re with me, I’m not afraid.”
Omar gazed at them, his eyes lonesome, somehow feeling

resentful.
“Mom…” Omar couldn’t help but call out, but Grace put on a long face, unmoved. At that moment, Omar’s forcibly held–back tears. burst forth.
“Mom, I’m sorry. I truly understand I was wrong!
“Dad and I know everything. Kendra killed Great Grandpa. She was behind everything. She deceived Dad and me.”
The knuckles of Antonio gripping the steering wheel turned slightly pale. His eyes were full of remorse.
Grace finally reacted at the mention of Russell. She said in resignation, “Let the past be in the past.”
Omar moved closer to Grace, carefully grasped her sleeve with his fingers, and pleaded, “Mom, can you forgive me?”
Looking at his grown–up face, Grace smiled faintly and pried open his hand. “I’m not your mother, Omar. You’ve made your choice.”
Omar’s pupils dilated, as if something shattered in that instant, silently and invisibly. Then, Antonio abruptly slammed on the brakes.
Grace subconsciously embraced Colin and yelled, “Antonio, are you crazy?” With a gloomy face, Antonio opened the car door before forcibly taking Grace out of the car.
Colin was also taken away by Omar, who was crying quietly.
After a six–year hiatus, Grace once again stepped into the Kaufman’s residence, which was like a nightmare to her, with

scenes from the past vividly emerging before her eyes. When she saw that office, her breathing suddenly became rapid.
“Antonio, you are so disgusting!”
Grace looked at Antonio with disgust.
Antonio’s fingertips quivered, stimulated by the disgusted look in her eyes. “Grace, you still won’t forgive me after all these years?”
Grace clenched her fists. “I told you I no longer loved you. Your are no more than a stranger to me now!”
With red eyes, Antonio threw Grace onto the bed.
He then tied up Grace’s smooth wrists with the beaded bracelet. Unable to break free, Grace was breathing rapidly. “Don’t touch me with that disgusting thing!”
Antonio’s breath sounded in her ears.
“Grace, don’t worry. I have washed it clean the last time I did that.” Antonio held her face gently, his eyes filled with intense desire.
“Grace, I don’t care that you married someone else and have another child. Once you get divorced, you’ll be Mrs. Kaufman again. Omar missed you terribly during the six years you were gone. Omar is also your child.”
Grace remained silent.
As Antonio closed in, she closed her eyes and said coldly without struggling, “Don’t make me hate you.”

Antonio paused before chuckling softly as if mocking himself. “Do you despise me so much, Grace?”
“Yes!” Grace answered without hesitation, which deeply hurt him.
Antonio said slowly, “But I can’t let you go.”
He left the room, as if afraid of listening to what Grace would say next. Antonio walked downstairs and saw Omar and Colin facing each other in a standoff. He saw Colin’s eyes darken.
