Chapter 1 Chapter 1 On our daughters kindergarten activity day , my husband Antonio Kaufman said he had to skip it because of work . He even forbade me and our daughter Leah to go there . I could tell Leah was really disappointed , so I decided to take her there myself . But then , we found Antonio right at the kindergarten . He was holding hands with Sophia Ross , his childhood sweetheart , a little boy in his arm . Together , they looked like a picture perfect family . It wasnt until he spotted Leah and me that he frowned slightly and let go of Sophias hand. Grace , dont get the wrong idea . Its not easy for Sophia to be a single mother . Todays her sons fifth birthday , and he wants to feel some fatherly love , Antonio explained . I forced a smile , took Leahs hand , and told her, Sweetie , this is your uncle . Seeing this , Sophia quickly took her son from Antonios arms , looking apologetic . Please dont be mad . Antonio is trying to be kind . You know , my son has never had a dad . Today is his fifth birthday , so he wants a dad to be with him . 10 55 Chapter 1 1204 Nouchers I smiled at her . You can find someone else to be a dad to your son . Antonio already has a daughter . Sophia was a bit shocked , and the little boy she was holding started to cry . Dad , you said youd stay with me and Mom today . With that , he glared at me with a fierce look . Before I could respond , Antonio stepped in front of them and scolded me , Grace , youre a mother too . Cant you have some sympathy for others ? Sophia and I have been friends since we were kids . I just want to spend the day with them . Why cant you be more understanding ? Why should I ? Sophias misfortune isnt my fault , I thought . But I didnt argue with Antonio . Other parents started to arrive with their children , and someone came over to greet us . Good morning ! You guys always show up together for the kindergartens family days . Youre better parents than my husband . He always says hes too busy with work and doesnt care about our childs growth at all . Sophia gave a few awkward responses , while Antonios eyes flickered with a moment of panic 1 managed a weak smile and confronted him , Antonio , is this what you meant by just being Jacobs dad for one day ? 28.17 % 10 55 1208 Vouchers Frustrated and angry , Antonio grabbed my arm . Grace , cant you be more understanding and sensible ? He glanced down at Leah and warned me in a low voice , If this gets out , it wont be good for our daughter . Leah hadnt quite grasped the idea that her father was having an affair . She just pressed close to my leg and held my hand . Feeling her unease , I squatted down , stroked her hair , and whispered , Dont worry , sweetie . Mommys right here . I wont let anyone hurt you . I watched Antonio walk away with Sophia and Jacob . In no time , they were swarmed by a bunch of people . Many people gathered around to chat with Antonio . They praised him for his successful career , having become the CEO of a billion dollar company in his early thirties . Antonio looked very pleased , and Sophias eyes were glued to him , like she was proud too . Jacob , who was in Antonios arms , turned back and made a face at me . I just smiled , for none of them knew that I owned 75 % of the shares in Antonios company . I needed to take care of my daughter , so I didnt go to the office much . Chapter 1 After we got married , Antonio said he wanted a fancy job . Since he was begging for it , I gave him a spot as the General Manager . At this thought , I took out my phone and texted our HR : Levi , get Antonio out of the managers seat and make it official by next Monday .
