Ice and Fire novel Chapter 739

Sitting in the small dining room, Violet ate her delicious meal with relish, while Greg sat by, watching his wife with lots of affection.

"Don't miss a meal if you get angry next time, okay?" he lovingly admonished, looking her straight in the eyes. He reached out his left hand and lightly stroked her tousled hair dotingly.

"I lost my appetite since you were away. So I didn't eat anything," Violet explained casually, winking at her man. She thought to herself, 'Ain't I ecstatic, just to have him around now.'

"I'm sorry. It's all my fault," Greg apologized as he stared into Violet's eyes. 'I shouldn't have left her last night. Even though I was angry, I shouldn't have left her alone at home, ' he regretted.

"Greg," Violet called tenderly as she put down her chopsticks. She turned to look at him before saying,"Don't leave me alone, okay?" There was a mixture of softness and fear in her voice.

"I'll never do that again. I promise I'll stay with you," Greg promised, stroking her gently on the cheek. Since he left Violet last night, he had been restless. Even at the hospital today, he was absentminded. His life would suck without her, he thought.

"I believe you," Violet responded, her face breaking into a bright smile.

After dinner, Violet curled up on the couch watching TV. In the meanwhile, Greg did the dishes in the kitchen.

When he finished up, he walked out to find Violet sleeping on the couch.

Sidling up to Violet on tiptoe, he lifted her to his chest and carried her into the bedroom.

Carefully, he put her on the bed. When Violet woke up, she found herself lying on the bed. She was sure she had fallen asleep on the couch, so he must have carried her to bed. But she wondered if she had slept so deeply that she hadn't even woken up while he brought her to bed.

"You didn't sleep well last night, did you?" asked Greg who was lying beside his wife. Looking at her puffy eyes, he felt concerned.

"Yes. I guess I watched too much TV, even though I knew I was tired and needed sleep. I must have fallen asleep on the couch," Violet answered. Even though she had taken a nap, she still felt so drowsy.

"Go back to sleep, sweetheart," Greg cooed. He tucked her inside the quilt and turned off the table lamp on Violet's side.

"But I want to talk to you, Greg," Violet said softly, as she sweetly snuggled up against Greg's chest.

"Okay," he agreed, ready to answer her questions. He intended to tell her everything she wanted to know. She was his wife and he felt no need for keeping secrets from each other.

"Where... Where did you sleep last night?" Violet asked. 'Where did he go after he left home?' she wondered.

"At home," Greg blurted.

Violet knew Greg meant the Xiao family's residence. "Did Dad and Aunt ask anything?" she asked tentatively.

"No. I didn't tell them anything," Greg answered.

"Did Cassie come here for you, Greg?" Violet asked. Although she doubted her assumption, she still spoke it out. The woman's appearance made her feel insecure.
