Chapter 51
“Grace, I’m always a bit busy with work, but you need a good rest after your abortion. So, I’ve hired someone to cook for you. Next month, I’ll take you to meet my parents.”
In Grace’s memories, Shane’s parents were always busy, traveling for business all the time. Shane and she had been neighbors for 18 years, but she had only met them twice. She could barely remember their faces now.
“I don’t need that much rest. I want to work.”
Shane shook his head.
“You can work anytime. But if you don’t take care of your body, you’ll regret it later.”
As carefree as Shane might seem, he could be stubborn sometimes. Once he decided something, no one could change his mind. Grace gave up protesting, for she knew he was just looking out for her. Now that they were married, they had to understand and support each other.
“Fine, but I have to study, or I’ll be bored at home.”
Shane compromised, nodding in agreement.
During the next month, Grace put all her energy into studying. She found that she hardly thought about Antonio anymore. Sometimes, she even wondered if her three years with him had been love or just an obsession. Well, that didn’t matter anymore. She had a new life now. Antonio was probably married to Keyla by now, and that was fine. There was no drama, no tearing each other apart. This was probably the most peaceful breakup in the world.
“Shane, will this outfit look too casual? I’m worried your parents might not like it.”
Grace was adjusting her clothes in front of the mirror. Shane was taking her to meet his parents today, and she was nervous. Patience thinning out, Shane finally swatted her hands away as she continued to adjust her clothes.
With a smile, Grace took Shane’s hand. All of that was in the past. From now on, she just wanted to enjoy being loved. It was something life owed her, so Shane must have been sent by fate.
Shane’s parents liked Grace a lot. They didn’t care about social status or family background. The two kids had grown up together, and their son loved Grace, so they had no objections.
“Grace, I hear you want to work at the Larson Group?” Shane’s mother, Maria Larson, asked.
Grace nodded. Maria’s warm smile erased the anxiety she had felt earlier. After a month of rest, it was time for her to start her new life.
“That’s great! Shane’s father and I have been wanting to retire for a while, but we’re worried about this troublemaker. With you keeping an eye on him, we can finally enjoy our retirement.”
Grace officially joined the Larson Group and became Shane’s assistant. Everyone knew she was the CEO’s wife, so no one dared to give her a hard time. Of course, her performance also proved that she was qualified for the position.
