"Does it mean that until now, you' re still pretending for my sake ? "
Grace wondered because wherever one of them went, the other was also there. They seemed inseperable.
"Gracie, dear, you are already married. While arguments and quarrels are common and expected, there could also arise greater problems. May both of you be open to understanding the root cause of every trouble. And may both of you be always ready to forgive. "
"As for me and your dad, we had been tested and tried and we were able to sail through the storm. "
Finally, Mr. Ybañez broke his silence.
"I'm sorry, Gracie. How I wish I could hide this forever so you won't be bothered. "
Grace stood up and flung her arms around him. "How could I hate you, dad? You fill my life with so much love and thoughtfulness. How could I look back on your flaws? "
Touched by her words, Madamme Ybañez broke into tears of joy. Grace saw her and so she threw herself into her arms.
