Ice and Fire novel Chapter 654

Greg took a step forward and pulled her into his arms, as if worried that she would leave him again.

"Violet, it's enough that you love me," he whispered in her ear. "I will handle everything else. I will face the world and answer for their contempt. Besides, you don't need my family's approval. I want to be with you, and I know you want to be with me. That's enough reasons for us being together." He paused, before continuing,"You silly girl, I love you."

His tender words melted Violet's heart. Only Greg could give her this warmth. No one else could make her feel like this.

Violet decided to tell him one last thing. "Greg, but your step-mother..." She wanted to reveal what happened five years ago. It was the only reason for her guilt and shame. She knew she was to blame for their breakup. She had been tricked by Sharon, but Greg had no clue.

"Violet," Greg interrupted her. She could feel his hot breath on her ear. "I'll deal with everything that keeps us from being together. I only have one request for you: don't leave me again. Promise that you won't leave me."

Greg let her go and stared into her eyes with utmost sincerity. He wanted her commitment in this.

Violet was troubled as she looked at him. She had always put his future first. Like Sharon had said, Violet wouldn't be the suitable wife for him. It was why Violet chose to let him go all those years ago. But Violet hadn't been happy the past five years. She bumped into Greg again only a couple of days ago, but it was obvious he had not forgotten her. He was still in love with her, and Violet still knew him better than anyone else.

'Violet, it's time you put yourself first, like Auntie Selina said, ' she told herself. 'You have lost five years of happiness. You must seize this with your whole heart. Greg loves you so much, probably more than he loves himself. How could you continue to break his heart?'

"Violet," Greg interrupted her thoughts. He felt uneasy. Violet still stood silent and unmoving. He was afraid that she was going to refuse him.

"All right, Greg." Violet nodded with resolution. "I won't leave you again. Thank you for giving me the confidence to be with you. Thank you for reminding me of our love."

Greg's smile at her response was radiant. He looked like his heart was bursting with joy.

"Remember that you're mine. You're the one I love. You're not inferior to anybody else. I want to see the lively Violet from five years ago, who was all smiles for me. She is my heart and soul," he said, his eyes gleaming.

Violet laughed. "How stupid I was at that time!"

"Were you stupid then? I don't think so," Greg scrunched his nose and disagreed. It was only natural that they did stupid stuff when they were kids. But even at that time whenever he saw her adorable smile, his heart would only beat faster. Her smile made him feel at the top of the world while her tears broke his heart into pieces.

Violet circled her arms around his waist and looked up at him. "Tell me something. Did you have any girlfriend in the time you were abroad?"
