The Lies He Told Me (Grace and Antonio) novel Chapter 307

Chapter307

Antonio stayed out of my hair for a few days after that, and I wasn't complaining. I enjoyed the quiet.

I threw myself into the design contest, using any spare moment to draw up ideas.

Once I submitted my designs for the semi-finals, I waited.

Five days later, I found out I'd made it to the finals.

To celebrate, I had Linda and a few colleagues over for a meal.

As I was getting the food ready, Tyler showed up at the door.

He handed me a box as soon as I opened it. "I bought these from a fancy restaurant, all your favorites."

"I've said it a thousand times. I don't want them.

“Don't bother trying to win me over,” I said.

Tyler's smile was a little forced. "Grace, is there anything that can make you forgive me?"

"I'm moving on, and you should too," I replied.

Tyler went silent for a moment and then asked, "Will you be back for Mom's remembrance next month?

"I feel bad I missed it two years ago."

I thought back to the call I'd made to Tyler that day.

He chose to stay with Michelle and her mom, watching their pet have its litter, instead of being with my mom on her remembrance day.

But it was fine. I was there for my mom.

No matter where I ended up, I would always honor her memory.

I wasn't about to miss this year's memorial.
