Ice and Fire novel Chapter 701

What transpired in the ward that day was still fresh on Roger's mind. Whenever he thought about his attitude towards Violet, he always regretted what he had done. He wondered whether Violet would ever forgive him. He was eager to seize this opportunity to own up and register his sincere apologies. He desperately wanted to reach out to Violet and resolve his mistakes, which kept knowing at his conscience.

"Never mind. It's not a big deal," replied Violet with a genuine smile.

Greg suddenly turned his eyes to Violet and said,"It's getting late. We need to go now."

"Okay," replied Violet. She knew Greg was running out of patience now. She could tell from his tone and the expression of his face, which were different from before Roger came around.

Feeling on edge, Violet then turned to Roger and said,"Excuse me, Mr. Roger, we have to leave now."

At the very moment, Greg pulled her arm and tried to lead her away.

However, Roger pulled her other arm and tried to stop her after they just paced two steps.

"Violet, I..." he mumbled something forlornly, but Greg interrupted by sharply yanking Violet's hand out of Roger's grip.

When Violet broke free, Greg firmly wrapped her into his arms, drawing her close to his chest as he turned her away from Roger.

"Mr. Roger, you'd better stay away from my wife. I don't want to rough you up in your mall. It's not good for your reputation," Greg warned, his eyes flaming with anger. 'The creep can even dare grab my wife's arm? Jeez! Is he trying to make me commit a homicide?' Greg's thoughts wildly raced about.

"I want to talk to her," replied Roger. He knew Violet and Greg already got married, but he hung onto flimsy hopes that somehow Violet would still come back to him. Desperately, he wanted to explain to himself. He also wished he could get her to say what exactly she thought about him. He was a man in deeply regrets for letting genuine love slip through his fingers. In his obsession, he even prayed for trouble in her marriage so that he could have her back.

"What if I don't allow you to talk to her? She's my woman. She's my wife now!" Greg growled.

"I'm wondering whether she wants to talk to me," insisted Roger. He would never give up his love to Violet unless she flatly refused him to his face.
