“I did some DNA testing on you and Colin, and he is indeed your child. When you were abroad…” Antonio couldn’t continue.
Grace finished his sentence for him.
“Colin is my child, I got married abroad. Are you satisfied with the answer?”
The partially burned cigarette fell to the ground as Antonio’s hand slightly trembled while holding it. “Grace, after you left, I could no longer calm down and pray.”
Grace frowned, her eyes full of disgust. The presence of Colin prevented her from saying anything harsh. “You and I have nothing to do with each other anymore. Stop pestering me.”
Antonio understood her love for Colin, but the thought that Omar had been motherless for six years infuriated him.
“You care about Colin; what about Omar? You never came back to see him in the past six years.”
Grace didn’t want to respond. She had initially tried to stick around for Omar, but he didn’t want her and repeatedly pushed her away.
“Omar has Kendra; it doesn’t matter if I’m around or not.
Omar overheard it in the car. He lost it, ran out of the car, and yelled at Grace, “You’re no longer my mother! You and your bastard son should never come back!”
Grace felt a jolt. She covered Colin’s cars, suppressing her rage. “You

should say this to your father, your stepmother Kendra, and yourself. I hope not to see you ever again.”
After saying that, Grace carried Colin into the car and left.
As Omar watched Grace drive away, he began to regret what he had said. “Dad, did I go too far?”
With a gloomy face, Antonio said, “Yes you did. Copy out the family motto ten times tonight and stop using rude language.”
Omar lowered his eyes, feeling sad and wronged, yet the person who had once comforted or held him was no longer there. Antonio cast a glance at Omar through the rearview mirror, lost in thought for a while, but ultimately said nothing.
Kendra, who had seen the scene, looked extremely grim. “Grace, why did you come back?”
In the car, Colin used Grace’s phone to call his father, asking, “Dad, when will you come over? I miss you.”
The person on the other end chuckled and said in a low and pleasant voice. “I’ll be there in three days. Does your mom miss me?” Colin
glanced at Grace secretly, covering his mouth and snickering, “Yes, of course, but she won’t admit it.”
Slightly flushed, Grace lightly cleared her throat before saying, “You’re cheeky. Don’t disturb your dad at work.”
The man muttered, “Grace, I miss you so much.”
Upon hearing his words, Grace blushed and swiftly ended the call.
“Colin, you need to stay at home by yourself for the next few days while I go to the hospital to treat your godmother. Remember not to open the door to strangers.”
