Chapter 28
I hadn’t expected Greyson to come to the house, especially after 1 had gone to great lengths to avoid him, such as hiding behind the couch like a child playing hide and seek to prevent a confrontation between us. But my efforts were wasted because it seemed the devil had followed my trail and comme straight to my home to confront me.
I swallowed deeply as I met his intent gaze. His eyes were the prettiest I’d ever seen, thit sadly, his beautiful eyes and handsome face had been the reason for my tears. If only I could command myself to stop loving him, then I would have been dat of my misery long ago. But telling myself to stop my feelings for him was like telling a fish to climb a tree.
Distracted by his gaze, my thoughts scattered in the air, I forced myself to look away, but his eyes held mine captive. For a moment that seemed to last an eternity, I found myself lost in them.
“Can we talk?” he finally spoke. His voice was soft and almost gentle. It was the first time he had ever spoken to me in that tone.
Pulling myself together, I said “No” without hesitation. Even if I wanted to, I still couldn’t because I had to go to the hospital now.
“Why?” he asked. His facial expression was hard and unreadable. Despite my efforts to decipher his feelings, failed to guess what he was feeling deep within Grey had always been aloof, just as he was now every time he spoke to me. It made me feel as though he secretly hated me, but I couldn’t prove it. Each time we spoke, I felt a wedge stand between us. No matter what I did, I could never pass through the wall he built around himself.
“We have nothing to talk about,” I told him, mimicking his expression,
Something that resembled rage sparked in his eyes. “So what happened between us last night was nothing to you?” His fists turned into tight balls at his sides. Fury emanated from him, but despite that, he spoke in a surprisingly calm voice.
“Why would I care if you don’t?” I snapped, clenching my fists at myside as fought his gaze.
“Don’t put words into my mouth, Lily” Grey hissed I swore I had never seen him this furious before. Seeing him this way made me hold my tongue–not Because he scared me, but because it was the reasonable thing to do if I didn’t care about last night, I wouldn’t be here on your doorstep standing like a fool. He let the words out in what sounded like a growl.
Taken aback by his words, I stood there watching him like a fool, too startled to hear him admit he cared. It was the first time those words had emerged from Grey’s lips.
For the first time in my life, I wanted to jump into his arms and tell him how much I loved him. Suddenly, the thought of Natalia pregnant with his child lashed at me. Her revelation flashed back in my thoughts, and I felt as if I would die from the pain as I remembered her admission that her affair with him had been going on for years. The pleasant feeling in my chest vanished, and fury seethed inside me.
After looking me for the past two years with his secret affair with Natalia, how could Grey have the courage to face me and pretend as if he cared?
With hard eyes, I looked at him again. “We have nothing to talk about, Grey. Please leave me alone, I hissed.
Grey’s jaw tightened. “You are my wife, I have the right to talk to you!
“The night you asked for a divorce, you stripped yourself of the right to be my husband lips. The unpleasant memories of the night he askud ja diypicu still hurt me like bell, anniversary by asking for a divorce.
