Antonio walked up to Colin and looked down at him. “Who is your father?”

Colin took a step back, frightened by Antonio. But then, thinking of something, he put his hands on his hips and said with a stubborn tilt of his neck, “My dad is the most powerful person in the world! You’d better let my mom go or you’re toasted!”
Omar was afraid that Antonio would hurt Colin, so he quickly yelled at Colin, “Colin, what nonsense are you talking about? Do you know my father’s background?”
Colin huffed out a breath. “I don’t care. My mother hates you guys. You are bad people!”
Antonio checked Colin out carefully for the first time. Something flashed in his mind. Colin turned his back to them, looking proud.
Omar pulled Antonio away and spoke, “Dad, don’t bother with a little kid. Will Mom stay with us?”
Antonio couldn’t give a definite answer because he didn’t know either. “I’ll think of something.”

Omar felt even more upset when he saw Antonio leaving dejectedly. At last, he went to knock on Grace’s room door.
Sitting on a chair, Grace didn’t say anything when she saw Omar coming in. Omar walked to Grace with his head down, clenching his hands tightly. He was cool with it during the first year after Grace left.
However, in the second year, his longing for her intensified rapidly. He used to believe that he could locate his mother once he grew up.
Now Grace was right in front of him, but she no longer loved him.
He had done something wrong, but he wasn’t sure how to ask Grace for forgiveness. “Mom… What does it take for you to forgive me? I didn’t understand back then. I j–just…”
Grace sighed, wiping away his tears with her hand.
Omar paused and then broke down in tears, clutching Grace’s hand and crying heart–wrenchingly, as if to cry out all the grievances of these years.
“Mom, I really miss you.”
Grace patted his back gently, looking at the branches growing wildly outside the window.
“Omar, you said you didn’t understand back then because you
a home were little. But you knew Kendra ruined our family as wrecker, and you still loved her and protected her even at the expense of repeatedly hurting me.

“So, did you really didn’t understand, or did you love Kendra more?
“If you didn’t find out everything she’s done, would you still approach me?
“Omar, you’re a selfish child. You believe whatever others say. You come to me after realizing how good I am. But you must understand no one will wait for you forever.”
Omar stopped crying, looking up at her blankly. He opened his mouth but didn’t know how to respond.
Grace patted his back gently. “Omar, you know what? During those six years, I felt like I couldn’t hold on any longer, but I hung in there because of you.
“You’re my child. I loved you very much, but you didn’t love me.
“So, I don’t want you either.
“Omar, remember that this is your choice, and you must stick to it till the end.”
Instead of yelling or screaming, Omar wept silently as he gazed into her soft yet indifferent eyes. He was aware that he had completely lost the mother who used to love him exclusively.
He had pushed her away himself and would never get her back.
Grace silently and emotionlessly watched Omar leave in despair. Over the last six years, a lot had changed.
She thought perhaps she would still miss this child if Omar hadn’t spoken cruelly to her that day. Unfortunately, there was no way back.

The banquet was held as scheduled the next day.
Antonio brought a burgundy dress to Grace’s room. “Grace, wear this tonight. I will let everyone know that you are still the hostess of the Kaufman family.”
Grace frowned at the dress.
“Stop acting crazy. I’m already married. Give Colin back to me.”
Antonio’s eyes darkened. “Colin and Omar are having a great time. If you want to see him, put this on and come with me.”
With a look of disgust on her face, Grace forcibly grabbed the dress. “I never thought you’d become so disgusting since you stopped praying.”
Antonio was holding the beaded bracelet in his hand at the moment, smiling meaningfully. “Since you returned, I can calm down and pray again.”
Feeling repulsive, Grace responded coldly, “Get out. I need to change my clothes.”
Antonio left without saying anything else.
Grace picked up the dress, which fit her well, and threw it into the trash can. She wouldn’t do as he said.
She had changed over the past six years.
Grace took out a lipstick from her purse and applied it to her. lips. In the mirror, she looked stunning with bright lips. When she opened the door, she could hear beautiful music coming from downstairs.

“Look! Isn’t that Mrs. Kaufman?”
“Why is she dressed like this?”
“Mrs. Kaufman is finally back after six years.”
Facing everyone’s doubtful gazes, Grace walked down the stairs. slowly and calmly.
“Mom! Mom, I’m here!” Colin shouted excitedly at the sight of Grace, with his hand firmly gripped by Omar.
While maintaining her composure, Grace tightened her grip and gave Colin a soothing look. The people around were all taken aback to see Colin.
They then cast a self–evident glance at Omar.
