Caramel rushed forward quickly. “Is she alright?”
Grey nodded briefly. “I’m taking her to her car,” he announced and scooped Avery in his arms,
Caramel hesitated before she took Avery’s phone and rushed behind Grey. Then, after him, so that she could open the door for Grey,
Grey shook his head as he watched Caramel. “She’s drunk. Open the back seat.”
Caramel furrowed her brows but did as instructed.
Grey placed Avery in the back seat and closed the door, to look at Caramel. “I’m driving her home.”
“What?” Caramel exclaimed softly, umable to believe her ears. “I thought you said you would never go back to that house.”
“Well, I can’t just leave her here, or can l?”
Caramel kept mute and instead, stretched out the phone to him. “I will finish the paintings for
you.”
Grey nodded briefly.” Wait for me, I will be back soon,” he informed.
Caramel nodded briefly and walked away.
Grey got into the driver’s seat. Well, he wasn’t supposed to drive Avery home but he couldn’t leave her behind as well.

Chris was angry that he flipped everything on the table away. The wine bottle shattered on the floor.
How was he supposed to know that siding with Smith would lead to his loss? And he was almost there. Avery was almost his. His phone rang suddenly, forcing him out of his thoughts when nothing else would. Funnily enough, it was Smith.
“What the fuck did you think you are doing? Blaming me?” Smith yelled from the other end. Chris felt a surge of anger.” Are you kidding me? Why did you tell Avery about everything initially?”
” Was that why you had to lie? Because you thought Avery would come back to you if you did?” Smith chuckled.” You don’t know anything, Chris. Avery is very stubborn. In fact, she could be one of the most stubborn girls you have ever met. She would never marry you,” he revealed.
“You want me to help you get rid of Grey? Dream on because that would never happen,” Chris expressed thickly,
“I don’t care! I know what to do. I don’t need your damn help. Let’s go our separate ways!” And Smith hung up on him.
Chris threw the phone away angrily. He didn’t believe he lost in two ways.
“Why are you still here? I thought you divorced Miss Avery already,” the security guard fired at Grey. He had never loved Grey anyways. It wasn’t surprising to Grey. Grey ignored him and opened the back seat: He took Avery in one scoop. “I’m talking to you, Grey!” The man said harshly.
Grey looked at him.” I will leave when I put her to bed,” he responded softly before he walked
