I Don’t Need Your Fake Love by Melandia

Chapter 84

“Tomorrow, we'll have a banquet and invite all the affluent families. Tell everyone that the hostess of the

Kaufman family has returned,” Antoinstructed. With a sigh, the housekeeper went to prepare it.

Antowalked up to Colin and looked down at him. “Who is your father?”

Colin took a step back, frightened by Antonio. But then, as if thinking of something, he put his hands on his hips

and said with a stubborn tilt of his neck, “My dad is the most powerful person in the world! You'd better let my

mom go or you're toasted!”

Omar was afraid that Antowould hurt Colin, so he quickly yelled at Colin, “Colin, what nonsense are you

talking about? Do you know my father’s background?”

Colin huffed out a breath. “I don’t care. My mother hates you guys. You are bad people!”

Antochecked Colin out carefully for the first time. Something flashed in his mind. Colin turned his back to

them, looking proud.

Omar pulled Antoaway and spoke, “Dad, don’t bother with a little kid. Will Mom stay with us?”

Antocouldn't give a definite answer because he didn’t know either. “I'll think of something.”

Omar felt even more upset when he saw Antoleaving dejectedly. At last, he went to knock on Grace’s room

door.

Sitting on a chair, Grace didn’t say anything when she saw Omar coming in. Omar walked to Grace with his head

down, clenching his hands

tightly. He was cool with it during the first year after Grace left.

However, in the second year, his longing for her intensified rapidly. He used to believe that he could locate his

mother once he grew up.

Now Grace was right in front of him, but she no longer loved him.

He had done something wrong, but he wasn’t sure how to ask Grace for forgiveness. “Mom... What does it take

for you to forgive me? | didn’t understand back then. I j-just...”

Grace sighed, wiping away his tears with her hand.

Omar paused and then broke down in tears, clutching Grace's hand and

ying heart-wrenchingly, as if to cry out all the grievances of these years.

Mom, | really miss you.”

Grace patted his back gently, looking at the branches growing wildly outside the window.

“Omar, you said you didn’t understand back then because you were little. But you knew Kendra ruined our family

as a hwrecker, and you still loved her and protected her even at the expense of repeatedly hurting me.

“So, did you really didn’t understand, or did you love Kendra more?

“If you didn’t find out everything she’s done, would you still approach me?

“Omar, you're a selfish child. You believe whatever others say. You ctoafter realizing how good | am. But

you must understand no one will wait for you forever.”

Omar stopped crying, looking up at her blankly. He opened his mouth but didn’t know how to respond.

Grace patted his back gently. “Omar, you know what? During those six years, | felt like | couldn't hold on any

longer, but | hung in there because

of you.

“You're my child. I loved you very much, but you didn’t love me.

“So, | don’t want you either.

“Omar, remember that this is your choice, and you must stick to it till the

end.”

Instead of yelling or screaming, Omar wept silently as he gazed into her soft yet indifferent eyes. He was aware

that he had completely lost the mother who used to love him exclusively.

He had pushed her away himself and would never get her back.

Grace silently and emotionlessly watched Omar leave in despair. Over the last six years, a lot had changed.

She thought perhaps she would still miss this child if Omar hadn't spoken cruelly to her that day. Unfortunately,

there was no way back.

The banquet was held as scheduled the next day.

Antobrought a burgundy dress to Grace's room. “Grace, wear this tonight. | will let everyone know that you

are still the hostess of the Kaufman family.”

Grace frowned at the dress.

“Stop acting crazy. I'm already married. Give Colin back to me.”

Antonio’s eyes darkened. “Colin and Omar are having a great time. If you want to see him, put this on and come

with me.”

With a look of disgust on her face, Grace forcibly grabbed the dress. “I never thought you'd becso

disgusting since you stopped praying.”

Antowas holding the beaded bracelet in his hand at the moment,

smiling meaningfully. “Since you returned, | can calm down and pray again.”

Feeling repulsive, Grace responded coldly, “Get out. | need to change my clothes.”

Antoleft without saying anything else.

Grace picked up the dress, which fit her well, and threw it into the trash can. She wouldn't do as he said.

She had changed over the past six years.

Grace took out a lipstick from her purse and applied it to her lips. In the mirror, she looked stunning with bright

lips. When she opened the door, she could hear beautiful music coming from downstairs..

t Mrs. Kaufman?”

dressed like this?”

Kaufman is finally back after six years.”

Facing everyone's doubtful gazes, Grace walked down the stairs slowly. and calmly.

“Mom! Mom, I'm here!” Colin shouted excitedly at the sight of Grace, with his hand firmly gripped by Omar.

While maintaining her composure, Grace tightened her grip and gave Colin a soothing look. The people around

were all taken aback to see Colin.

They then cast a self-evident glance at Omar.
