NovelEnglishChapter 112
The late autumn rain soaked Antonio’s face and seeped through his collar and cuffs.
He stood there, rooted to the spot, watching the car disappear from his sight.
Before long, another car pulled up. Morton, umbrella in hand, rushed over to shield Antofrom the rain.
Antoraised his head and glanced around, his thin lips pressed tightly together. Then he headed towards the
roadside.
Inside the car, the heater blew warm air in his face, gradually dispelling the chill from his body.
His rain-drenched clothes, however, still clung to his skin. They were damp and sticky, making him extremely
uncomfortable.
Morton took out a set of clean clothes from the trunk, but Antodidn’t even look at them. He just kept a
straight face as he ordered the driver to start the car.
All the way, there was only the sound of breathing inside the car.
As they reached downtown, the streets grew busy. The driver braced himself to ask where they were going next.
However, after a long time, he still got no response from Antonio. He could only slow down the car and keep
driving forward.
When even Morton was in a cold sweat, Antofinally spoke, “Hotel.”

His two subordinates finally let out a long sigh of relief. Upon reaching
the hotel, they escorted him to his room and then left as quickly as possible.
Antowas left alone in the room.
He leaned against the sofa in his wet clothes, yanked off his tie, and tossed it carelessly to the floor. He then
pressed the space between his eyebrows, but it did nothing to calm the turmoil in his mind.
Ever since their last encounter at the restaurant, for sreason, Antonio. had begun to feel dissatisfied with
everything he had done.
From the trivial, like his daily coffee and meeting minutes, to the big, like socializing during contract negotiations
and preparing the banquet of the Kaufman family, he just didn’t feel right.
People cand went around him, but Antojust felt that there was no one to compare with Grace.
In addition to the inconveniences in his life and work, she also frequently appeared in his dreams at night.
Sometimes Antodreamed of the replays of their past, and at other times of sabsurd and fantastic
adventures. In every dream, Grace was there, silently following behind him and calling him Mr. Kaufman.
There were also dreams he couldn't bring himself to speak of, where Grace didn’t call him that way.
Sometimes she called him Antonio, and other times she called him Darling.
In those dreams, they were husband and wife.
Grace would act like a typical wife, helping him tie in the morning and giving him a parting kiss before he left for
work. When he had a break in his work, she would send him numerous amusing stories and gossip.

When he returned hin the evening, a hot meal would be waiting. She would take his coat and sit arm-in-arm
with him at the dinner table.
Each the woke up from those dreams, Antowould lie in bed for a long time, recalling every detail.
Perhaps because he had such dreams too often, sometimes he would zone out and start to imagine his future
married life.
For the crucial role of his wife, he would first envision a variety of appearances and personalities before
beginning to choose the right one.
However, regardless of the process, the final image would inexplicably
resemble Grace.

him a sense of loss.
