Chapter Ch 4
The intern was about to ask me more but was pulled by a senior report next to him.
I didn't stay till the press conference ended. After clarifying my relationship with Antonio, I left.
I could tell the reporters' gazes were still on me, but that was no longer my
concern.
Public opinion shifted overnight.
The interview Antonio and I had received that day became a trending topic, gaining popularity for days.
On that day, Antonio said, "Ms. Padilla isn't the reason why Grace and I fell apart.
"Ms. Padilla's brother saved my life back then. He entrusted her to me before he died, and it's my responsibility to take care of her. It'll be appreciated if you can treat this matter rationally.
"Grace and I were planning on getting a divorce and part on good terms a year ago. It's just that we've never found the right time to make it public.

"This time, we chose to clarify because we wanted you to know the truth and stop picturing Ms. Padilla for the worst."

I became the center of attention, enduring endless accusations and speculations.
"Don't take those online comments to heart. People will forget about this soon," Antonio said, trying to comfort me after we walked out of the courthouse with our divorce decrees.
I looked at him coldly and sarcastically.
When Sienna was condemned by the netizens, he felt sorry for her and had to clear her name; and now, when it was my turn, he simply asked me to wait till people forgot.
"Grace, it will be the New Year in three months.
"You love spring the most. When it's the next spring, we'll hold another wedding. OK?"
His voice was deep and gentle, carrying an imperceptible trace of caution. Then he wanted to grab my hand, but I dodged slightly and looked at the reporters stopped by his

He seemed to realize his inappropriate behavior, so he took a step back,
distancing himself from me.
I said, "Antonio, I'm going back to Los Angeles."""
He nodded. "Alright. You can spend some time with your parents. When the New
Year is coming, I'll go pick you..."
"I won't come back," I interrupted him.
He was slightly stunned, his smile freezing.
"I know you're saying this out of spite, Grace. Wait for me in Los Angeles. I..."
I said, cutting him off again, “Antonio, it's time to fulfill the promise you made to me when I signed the divorce papers."
He looked at me in disbelief.
After being reborn, I wondered if things might be different this time.
But when he handed me the divorce papers again, all I felt was relief.noveldrama
