"Oh, right!” Rose added, “Don't dream of escaping, it's impossible for you to escape overseas when you're so heavily pregnant. As long as you’re on this island, I can find you even if you crawl into a rat hole."
After saying her vicious piece, Rose left the little marital home that Sean bought for Grace.
"No...please don't do this to me, my children, my two children...” Grace sat on the floor, sobbing helplessly.
She did not have any family.
She was all alone, and the man she loved the most in the entire world was Sean. She had two more family members, the children in her tummy. She refused to sit back and accept defeat. She would seek out Sean and fight for the chance to give birth to her two children. She had to fight for her children’s right to live even if her reputation would be thoroughly ruined or the whole world cursed her for being a mistress.
Seven months into her pregnancy, her belly was huge. Grace fumbled to the house where Sean and Rose were staying, but the servants refused to let her in. That was also because back then, Star Island was impoverished and under-developed. Everyone was desperate for some money.
Grace immediately plucked off the priceless bracelet from her wrist and handed it to the servant guarding
the door. The servant saw her often and thought that she was the boss's wife anyway. It was not a big sin to let her into the house.
Grace heaved her heavily pregnant tummy and made her way slowly to the main entrance to the house but heard the sounds of an argument drifting out from within the building.
"Sean Ford! Why don't you drop dead?! It’s bad enough that you're having an affair, you even got her pregnant! You're so smart, you know that!" This was Rose's voice. She sounded as if she was about to swallow him alive.
Sean laughed coldly and sneered, "Rose Quinton! You were the one who hooked me up with Grace Summer! You were the one who inquired in advance and found out that Grace was the only living bloodline of the Sumer family. Many of the islanders loved and respected her. If I successfully pursued her, the Payne family would not easily act against me. This was your idea, was it not?!"
"Yes, it was my idea!" Rose sounded more and more furious, "For the sake of your safety, I swallowed my shame and allowed you to be with another woman here, but I didn't ask you to have children with her! You even got her pregnant with two children! Sean Ford, what am I to you? I love you so much! To make sure you can safely leave the island, to help you transfer all your money and assets out of the island and back to South City, I even sacrificed myself and pushed you into the arms of another woman. Do you know every moment that you spent with that woman, my heart was bleeding?"
