Chapter 27 Grace had heard too many , many promises called " forever " before . No one could guarantee forever , neither Alden , Drake , Bryce nor her . What she could do was to try to love each other when there was no estrangement between them . Antonio may have known her worries , as he simply held her hand and placed it over his heart . " Don't worry , the Kaufman family had a very strict upbringing . By the time you realized I had changed my mind , I might have already been .

beaten to death by the Kaufman family elders . " " The Kaufman family despised people who were indecisive , unless their partner's behavior was truly outrageous , they would never change their mind . " His voice caused the chest to tremble , but the steady heartbeat was particularly clear , enough to prove that what he said was all true . Grace was stunned . It was hard to imagine that in this era , there would still be families with such strict upbringing .

At that moment , she inexplicably thought of the hasty start of their marriage . She waited at the City Hall from night until dawn , and from dawn until almost sunset . My eagerly anticipated 22nd birthday ended in such a lonely way . Chapter 27 The idea of getting married , however , was an act of defiance on her part .

However , it was Antonio who took the first step towards her , draping hist coat over her and revealing a barely noticeable hint of tension on his usually carefree face , though his voice remained cold and indifferent . " I have been observing you for a while just now , and I dare to ask , are you in a hurry to get married ? Can you consider me ? " The face with sword - like eyebrows and starry eyes suddenly appeared in front , lighting up Grace's gloomy sky .

She also didn't know where the courage came from , but she nodded at him . " Yes , let's get married ! " Finally , she impulsively took Antonio's hand and walked into the City Hall , just before the staff finished work , and obtained the marriage certificate . That day was like a vague and ethereal dream , even today , Grace still cannot believe that it was real . She asked in a dazed manner , " Antonio , if that day … it wasn't me , would you still have married someone casually ?

" " No , I won't . " He answered without a hint of hesitation , his eyes and brows concealing deep affection . That day . I had already said that I had been observing you for a long time . I was waiting for you , waiting for you to choose me for marriage . Upon hearing this , Grace was completely stunned and momentarily forgot what to say . It seemed as if only their breathing and heartbeat remained in their ears , and they couldn't hear anything else .

Antonio was also not in a hurry , he just looked at her gently and accommodatingly , not wanting to miss any of her reactions . After a long time , she finally found her voice again . " But … you know , I had no choice but to choose you that day … " She stuttered and stumbled , her voice sounding a bit hoarse . " It doesn't matter , as long as you chose me in the end , that's enough . " Antonio held Grace tightly in his arms , feeling her warmth and heartbeat .

As long as she was by his side , it was enough . In the corner where she couldn't see , his eyes were filled with paranoid satisfaction . Fortunately , he did get her in the end . Grace didn't believe in love at first sight , nor did she believe that Antonio . could be someone who fell in love at first sight . She persistently wanted an answer , " Antonio , why did you wait for me to choose you ? Love at first sight ? I don't believe it .

" Antonio sighed and slowly released her , then he embraced her and walked into the study . He pressed a button and opened a hidden room . There were many photos of Grace hanging inside , most of which were taken casually . These photos were taken by chance in various places such as street corners , tree - lined roads , and award podiums , among others .
