59 Chapter 59: Antonio's Apologies

@@

Getting to the house, Anne was surprised to see Alice, Terry and Micky, all at the house waiting for her. Alice joyfully came to meet her and embraced her in a warm hug. She was so happy to see her.

Alice looking at Anne noticed that she still looked very fragile and tired. She therefore asked that they be excused so the baby could be attended to, and for Anne to get some rest.

But before they could leave, Terry and Micky looked at Anne and said "welcome back home, and sorry we misjudged you."

Anne was surprised. This was the first time anybody had actually apologised to her for all these past three years. She was so overwhelmed with joy.

"Thank you," she replied.

Antonio had said he loved her, but did not say that he trusted her. "But... Antonio's best friends, since childhood, through to adulthood and now more like brothers, told her they misunderstood her ... Does that mean that Antonio actually believed her innocence three years ago?"

Sensing her inner conflictions, Antonio took a few steps forward, hugged her and kissed her forehead, then in a hoarse voice said: "Anne, I believe you, I was blind, I had eyes but I couldn't see how sincere and genuine you simply are. Forgive me, I was wrong."

Behind them Sedem, Micky and Terry had incredulous looks on their faces. They all turned to look at each other in horror ... "Antonio apologising? For the first time ever, Antonio was apologising to another living soul on this earth???"@@
