"Don't make your marriage the topic of every conversation. Do you think I'll forget? And also, you're not part of this family, so feel free to move out whenever you like." His words hurt her. Where was the Antowho had made love to her so many times? The man in front of her was not the same.
Grace sensed his anger and didn't say anything more about the topic.
