Ice and Fire novel Chapter 696

Roger exited the hospital with a huge scowl on his face. He marched to the car and ordered the driver,"Drive to the Chu's Villa now."

"But, young Master, Madam told me to take you home immediately," the driver tried to explain. Carol specifically told him to take Roger straight home. If he didn't do that, he feared that Carol was going to scream at him.

"I'm not gonna repeat myself," Roger reiterated. He was in the hospital for so long that even his driver didn't want to obey his order any more.

"Yes, young Master," the driver didn't repeat what Carol said and followed Roger's order. He made his way to the Chu's villa.

Roger stared out the window with Violet in his mind. He had a feeling she would not be at home and she might still be travelling or just out. But he still wanted to go to her house and check. He felt so guilty for treating Violet so badly that day. And that was all he could think of since that day. But he knew what he had to do now. He was going to apologize to Violet until she forgave him.

When they arrived at the Chu's villa, Roger rushed out of the car. He ran to the locked door and kept pressing the doorbell.

Lily was dusting the furniture when Roger pressed on the doorbell repeatedly. She rushed to answer the door, 'Who could be ringing the bell at this time? Are we supposed to expect visitors?'

Lily opened the door and found Roger on the other side. She knew Roger was the associate president of the GR Group.

"Hello, Mr. Roger, what can I do for you?" Lily asked Roger. She recognized Roger because he often appeared in the news and he was on the cover of Financial magazine a few months ago.

"I'm looking for Violet. Is she home?" Roger rushed through his words.

Lily shook her head. "She is not. She took a trip abroad for her honeymoon," Lily supplied Roger with answers. Roger's eyes went from expectancy to tension. His heart beat faster and struggled to catch his breath. Lily noticed the change in Roger's emotions and realized this man must have feelings for Violet.

"When will she be back? When can I see her?" Roger demanded to know.

Lily shook her head,"I don't know. She did not tell me when she will be coming back. I'm just preparing the house in case they come home anytime."

Roger's heart fell. He expected that Violet wouldn't be there and she might be with Greg but he didn't want to just give up. He wanted to come to her home and confirm it in person. Now that he had confirmed it, he might really need to give up now.

Lily noticed that Roger hadn't said anything for minutes now. "Mr. Roger, go home. I will tell Ms. Violet that you came by to visit when she comes back."

"I guess things need to be like this," Roger resigned himself. He had sorrow in his eyes and he couldn't hide it but he noticed and kept the small glimmer of hope in his heart. He turned to Lily,"Please tell Violet that I came and I need to settle something with her."

"I will, Mr. Roger," Lily reassured him.
