Aiden sat in stunned silence, his hands gripping the steering wheel so hard that his knuckles turned white? He had poured his heart into planning the perfect dinner, only to find out that Grace had decided to spend her evening with her ex-husband. The betrayal sliced through him like a blade, sharp and unforgiving.
His eyes burned, but no tears fell. His heart felt heavy in his chest, as though a great weight had been placed upon it.
He parked the car by the roadside. The streets were bustling with people buying things from the roadside shops. He spotted Grace, walking happily with Caesar and Stella running ahead of them. He thought it was a dream, maybe a lie. But no, she picked Caesar over him. He felt as if his heart had been ripped out of his chest. He couldn't handle the pain and disappointment.
