Chapter 105
Livia had been abroad for years, and her sudden return was said to be due to a breakup with her long–time boyfriend in that country.
Years ago, she had defied her parents for Antonio, but the class difference between them ultimately led them to break up.
Her sudden return meant she hadn’t yet purchased many daily necessities. or even furnishings.
So Antonio took Grace to help out.
Grace didn’t want to go, but since her resignation was still in process and Antonio was still her boss, she had no reason to refuse.
On the way there, Antonio kept reminding Grace not to let Livia carry or lift anything, as she was already exhausted from flight.
Grace silently nodded, she didn’t care, she only wanted to do her job and go back to her room, away from him.
Antonio did not even introduce them to each other, and Grace had to watch him embrace her and gush about her looks.
Later he took Livia to the mall, and refused to let her pay for anything. charging everything she wanted on his card.
“Don’t worry, just let Grace carry the bags,” he told Livia once when she was going to grab one of the things they bought.
After finishing their shopping, Grace tiredly followed the two, listening to them chat about old times.
The flowers, the chocolates, the elegant scarfs that she could clearly see now Livia wore.
Did the sexy lingerie he gave her was also meant to be because it reminded him of his precious Livia?
Grace stopped herself from overthinking and focused on the work she had
to do.
After half a day, the empty room was tidied up. Not only had she cleaned everything, she had also organized all very professionally.
Livia was satisfied with Grace’s efficiency. So she turned to Antonio. “I forgot to ask, who is this lady?”
Antonio replied, “Oh, this is Grace, she works at our home.”
“Oh, really? I don’t remember seeing her before.” Livia mentioned.
Antonio scratched his head and nodded, looking at Grace a bit confused, as if searching what to say about her.
“Grace’s mom had worked for us for years, and she always had Grace with her. A few years ago, she passed away. Since Grace had no other family, she stayed on. Now she works as my assistant.”
Livia’s eyes showed a hint of surprise, which quickly changed to a smile.
“How nice your family is.” Livia draped her arm over Antonio‘ shoulder. “You are an incredible boss, I am sure.”
Grace let her eyes drop, staring at her shoes.
Just then, Livia turned her head and caught sight of Grace’s ring. She asked. “Grace, I’ve seen this ring before. It’s quite valuable. Looks like Antonio pays you well.”

Grace focused her eyes on what Livia said. Looking at the sparkling diamond ring, she was slightly surprised.
This ring was a gift from Devin before he went on a business trip. He said. that although the wedding was postponed, the gesture had to be there. The ring was a symbol of their union.
Grace didn’t know the value of the jewels and thought it was a simple
ring.
It was a very expensive ring? This was something she did not expect from Devin.
Antonio glanced at the ring, his brow furrowing involuntarily,
Livia smiled at Grace’s confusion. “The ring is beautiful, but it’s on the wrong finger. The ring finger is only for wedding rings.”
Grace responded with a shy smile, “No mistake, this is my wedding ring.”
“You’re already married?” Livia’s face showed surprise.
Grace nodded. “Yes, just a couple of days ago.”
Antonio‘ face darkened instantly. He stared at Grace for a few seconds but ultimately remained silent.
Grace did not understand why he would be upset, wasn’t he so in love. with Livia? Why did he care that she was now married to another man?
If anything, he should be happy about this, and even relieved that she would never come between him and his precious Livia.
