Chapter 70
As soon as Shane saw Antonio, he couldn’t hold back his anger anymore. He had always felt wronged for Grace, and today was finally his chance to avenge her.
“Antonio, if you keep bothering Grace, I won’t spare you!”
Antonio wasn’t afraid of Shane’s threat at all. He believed that as long as Grace still loved him, nothing could keep them apart.
“Grace, I know Laney and I didn’t treat you well before. And even if you are married, I won’t give up. I know you’ll come back to me one day.”
Antonio’s tone was very confident, but Shane felt annoyed. He couldn’t. help but think, “Is he trying to provoke me? I’m Grace’s legitimate husband, not him, okay? What qualifications does he have to ask Grace to go back to him?”
With that in mind, Shane mocked, “Antonio, aren’t you ashamed? Grace has been with you for three years, and you didn’t even register for marriage with her. Now you’ve finally found out everything, you actually want her back again. You think she’s a maid who has to always follow your order?”
The more Shane spoke, the angrier he got. He cherished Grace very much, so he could never forgive Antonio for what he had done to her. Also, he couldn’t understand how Antonio still had the face to beg for forgiveness.
Antonio didn’t back down. He was determined to win Grace back.
“This is between Grace and me, none of your business!”
As soon as Antonio finished speaking, Shane’s fist hit his face.
Chapter 70
“But she’s my wife now, and it’s legal!”
Antonio wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. He had always. wanted to fight Shane, thinking that Shane could never compare with him. After all, Shane and Grace had only been together for a few days, but he had been with Grace for three years. He spat out some blood and was about to charge at Shane. Just then, Grace suddenly stepped forward and blocked Shane behind her.
Antonio looked at her in disbelief and slowly released his clenched fists. He couldn’t believe that she was really going to break up completely with him for another man.
Grace shouted at him, “Antonio, wake up! I don’t love you anymore, and I don’t want to have anything to do with you!
“Who I love now is Shane, my lawful husband.”
Antonio’s tears fell, and he walked step by step towards Grace. He thought, “Back then, she took the initiative to marry me. She became the light that had once shone on my dark moments, the light I had ignored. Is it about to disappear?”
Thinking of that, he said, “Grace, I’m sorry, I’m sorry…”
There were no more words that could express his regret. Antonio knew Grace didn’t want to hear it, but he just couldn’t let her go. He wanted to win her back and make her happy, but she didn’t want him anymore. At this point, he finally realized that Grace had already found her own happiness.
“Antonio, Laney, I forgive everything you’ve done to me. However, if you want to hurt Shane, I won’t allow it.”
After speaking, Grace pulled Shane away. She was really scared just now. She was afraid Shane would get hurt. When she saw Antonio’s bleeding mouth, Grace no longer felt distressed. At this point, she realized she had

already moved on.
“Grace, I’m sorry. I was too impulsive just now, but I’m really happy that you protected me.”
Shane smiled triumphantly. Seeing the look of disappointment in Antonio’s eyes, he knew he had won, not only the fight but also Grace’s
favor.
“Shane, if you act so impulsively next time, I’ll just leave you alone.”
‘I promise, I won’t.”
Shane smiled sweetly at her. In fact, his promise was on the condition that Antonio wouldn’t bother them again.
Antonio sat helplessly on a bench, and Laney was crying beside him. When Grace stepped up and protected Shane just now, she clearly saw that all the light in Antonio’s eyes had faded. She knew Antonio must love Grace deeply, or he wouldn’t be so hurt.
Unfortunately, everything seemed irretrievably over. Actually, if Laney had known Antonio’s true feelings earlier, she wouldn’t have been so hard on Grace. However, it was too late to do
anything now. After all, even Antonio didn’t understand it until Grace had left.
