Ice and Fire novel Chapter 736

Back at the party, Alice was still looking for Greg.

Alice saw that Greg was standing close to Tim and moved quickly to talk to him.

"Greg," she shouted.

"What happened, I hope Violet is okay?" Greg asked, worried. He wanted to know how his wife was.

Alice didn't reply. She looked around and saw that there were some other people standing and talking there, so she said to Greg,"There is a lot of disturbance here. Let us move out elsewhere and discuss."

Alice moved to a quiet place soon after.

Greg glanced at Tim which meant that he wanted both of them to talk to Alice in solitude. They then moved to follow Alice.

When they reached there, Alice stopped. When she was sure that there was nobody else around, she turned towards Greg, and asked,"Who is Cassie? What is going on between you two?"

Greg knew that he would not be able to hide things from Alice. He said frankly,"Cassie was my classmate at the university."

"Why has she come here? Now, don't tell me that she has come back to China for you!" Alice said. She knew her guess was most probably right, but still, she wanted to confirm it with Greg.

"Actually, I really don't know why. But maybe your guess is right," Greg answered. That was something that couldn't be denied. Everyone could guess it and Greg did not think that it can be kept as a secret anymore.

"That means that you both were close to each other in the university? Were you a couple at the university?" Alice asked.

"No, we weren't," Greg tried to explain. He looked at Alice seriously, and added,"Alice, you know how much I love Violet. But Cassie, she is just the girl who was with me during the worst phase of my, that is it."

After hearing Greg's reply, Alice understood that he was speaking the truth and calmed down.

Tim looked at Greg and then said to Alice,"Greg is such a wonderful person. Only a few women could ignore a man like him. But I personally believe that Greg is in love with Violet only."

Alice didn't believe what Tim had said. She stared at Greg, then asked seriously,"Are you sure that you and Cassie were only classmates, nothing more than that?"
