Ice and Fire novel Chapter 892

Violet didn't respond. She was still blankly staring at the window. Instead of responding to what her brother just said, Violet told his brother, "I think I need some time alone."

Seeing how upset his sister was, he complied at her request. Before leaving the room, he said, "Don't be too long. Dad and Mom are waiting for us for dinner."

"Okay, I'll join you soon," Violet replied.

As soon as Lawrence closed the door, she loosened the tough look on her face. She tried to act strongly in front of her family, but she missed Greg so much. 'How are you, Greg?' she thought to herself.

While she was trying to compose herself, her phone that was on the bed suddenly rang. It was her message ringtone. She went over the bed, took her phone, and unlocked it. She saw a text message on the screen and saw it was from her Aunt Selina.

She opened the message and it read as, "Violet, my sweetie, please forgive me. I lied to Greg..."

After reading the whole message, Violet was overwhelmed. It felt like her emotions skyrocketed. And it was like her fingers had a mind of their own and quickly dialed a number that she memorized by heart.

There was silence followed by a ringing. And finally, the other line picked up.

"Hello?" Greg's voice sounded from the other line.

At that moment, Violet felt like her heart skipped a beat. All the sound in the world vanished and all she could hear was the voice she was dying to hear for a very long time. It was like music to her ears.

She didn't answer back. As there was silence, Greg continued, "Excuse me, may I know who's on the other line?"

Still, Violet remained silent. It's not that she didn't want to talk to Greg. It's just that she was speechless. She was happy that her tears started to fall from her eyes. Tears of joy and of longing.

Almost a minute later, as if Greg realized that it was Violet on the other line, he started calling her name, "Violet, is that you? You're Violet, right?"

Still no response from Violet. But her hands were shaking.

"I know that it's you, Violet. How are you doing, my love? I miss you so much. I want to hear your voice," Greg begged. This wasn't all he wanted to say to Violet, but he couldn't find the right words to express how much he missed her. Greg was certain that it was Violet as if he could feel her.

Violet was starting to get anxious. She was about to hang up the phone when suddenly, her world stopped upon hearing these words.

"I love you, Violet," Greg confessed affectionately, "I love you so much. I hope you can come back and stay with me. I feel so terrible that I almost failed to make it through. If Aunt Selina hadn't told me about how you're doing, I might have already broken down. Come back, Violet. I need you. Please come back to me."

At last, Violet gave in to her emotions. Tears started to rush down her cheeks. She wanted to talk to Greg and listen to his voice longer, but she had to resist. After gathering all the courage, Violet finally ended the call.

She wanted to hold Greg so bad. But all she could do now was hold her phone tightly to her chest. She felt so weak that she fell on the floor crying her heart out.

'I miss you too, Greg. I want to come back to your side so bad, ' she cried inside.

Lawrence and his parents were sitting on the dining table waiting for Violet to come down. They hadn't started dinner without her. Finally, Violet appeared in the dining area.
