After I took photos of all of these things, I wiped away my tears, collected myself, and went back home.
Just as the elevator door opened, I saw Antonio rushing over with a face. full of worry.

“Grace, you been? Didn’t I tell you not to run around without my permission? What if something happened to the baby again?”
Antonio always used the baby to try to manipulate me, using my grief over losing my child to fulfill his goal.
Though I felt disgusted in my heart, I kept a calm face.

“I thought I had received a paclighen I got downstairs, I
suddenly found that I remembered it wrong. What are you doing, by the way?”
Antonio was wearing an apron. When I asked him, he suddenly
remembered that the fire on the stove was still on.
“You want to eat pancakes, right? But I didn’t find anyone selling it, so I made it myself. Here, have a bite.”
The pancake with syrup on it looked very delicious.
But unfortunately, I was not in the mood to enjoy it.
Seeing me putting the pancake down after just one bite, Antonio was a bit. confused.
“What’s wrong? Does it taste bad?”

I shook my head and said lightly, “No. I just thought of my four stillborn. babies. And I’m kind of worried about this one now.”
A trace of panic flashed across Antonio’s face. He immediately turned back to the kitchen, afraid of me sensing something odd.
“Grace, I know you feel pressured as your due date approaches. How about this? I’ll invite your family over in a couple of days. Cheer up, OK?
Hearing his words, I sneered coldly in my heart, “My family? Why not just admit that you want to see Bailey?”
But anyway, I nodded slightly. “Up to you.”
Through the kitchen door, I could see the faint smile on Antonio’s face. when he heard my consent.
For the baby in my belly, Antonio never allowed me to even step out of the house. But today, for the first time, he set up this family reunion at a
restaurant.
As soon as we entered the private room, Antonio directly went to Bailey.
Bailey smiled, “Thanks to Toni. I told him that I wanted to try the cooking of the chefs here, and he immediately arranged it. Unfortunately, the chefs here don’t take extra jobs. Otherwise, we could eat at home. That would be more comfortable.”
Hearing her words, I understood that Antonio changed his arrangement at the last minute all because of Bailey.
And because this family reunion was organized because of me, he had no choice but to take me out this time.
Antonio rubbed Bailey’s head dotingly, smiling, “Don’t worry.
“I’ve already had someone purchase this restaurant. In the future, you can

eat whenever you want and wherever you want, OK?”
Hearing this, Bailey immediately put on a sweet smile and held Antonio’s arm. When she turned her eyes and saw me, she suddenly acted as if she had just noticed me and exclaimed, “Oh, Grace, why are you so silent? Sorry, it was my idea to eat at the restaurant. Are you blaming me?”
Following her words, everyone’s gaze fell on me. Antonio’s face was full of embarrassment as he forgot me at the door, while my parents‘ faces. were filled with undisguised annoyance.
My mom snapped at me, “Why are you still standing there? Want us to invite you over or something?
“Oh, don’t put that look on your face, will you? Nobody has offended you! If you don’t want to come, then don’t ever!”
At this time, Antonio seemed to have finally remembered that I was a pregnant woman and hurriedly came over to hold me.
When Bailey saw Antonio’s hand on my waist, a hint of resentment flashed across her face.
Then, she slightly furrowed her brow and said weakly, “Toni, I feel a bit suffocated here. Can you take me out for some fresh air?”
Seeing this, Antonio immediately let go of me and strode up to Bailey with a worried look on her face.
“What’s wrong? Is it because of some heart disease? Do you need me to get you a doctor?”
The two of them gradually went out of my sight, and there were only me and my parents left in the private room.
And they began to rebuke me, “Look at you. Five years, and you still haven’t let Antonio marry you. Your sister has already given birth to four

children. What about you? None of your children could make it. What a
curse!
“You two have both been pregnant. But Bailey’s skin is still smooth and delicate. But look at you. You look like an aged witch! No wonder Antonio gets fond of Bailey. You’re really a failure. Can’t even keep your man’s heart!”
