Chapter 241: Husband
“You have been so busy all these days, and I haven’t been able to speak with you,” Beatrice said suddenly as Grey was about to walk up the stairs.
He stopped and looked over to the kitchen where Beatrice was. He smiled and moved closer.
“Your color doesn’t look good. Are you feeling well?” She observed.
Grey nodded once. “I’m just tired,” he decided not to go and see Jimmy again until he got back from Italy. He was so tired from the trip already!
“You should eat and rest well. Is there something you want me to make for you?”
Grey thought for a moment. ” I’m just too tired to eat. I will rather go to bed like that. Maybe we will see tomorrow morning,” he whirled to leave but pulled to a sudden stop as he watched Caramel wall closer to him.
“You are definitely eating something, Caramel. That aside, I have something to tell you.”
Grey smiled and pulled her for a slight kiss on the forehead. “I’m too tired to.eat. All I need is a shower and some rest.”
Caramel walked past him. “You will have to add food to that list because we are eating.”
Grey turned to look at her.” We?”
“Yes, I’m leaving tomorrow morning,” she announced.
“B_but,” Grey started and looked at Beatrice.
“You should get a house soon, Grey,” Beatrice muttered.
Grey sighed. ” Or were you going to say we should get married soon?”
Caramel eyes went wide with shock. ” Mom!”
Beatrice laughed. “As if you two don’t want it,” and she went to get some sauce.” We are having spaghetti.”
“And Grey is eating with us, then we can go and discuss,” she looked at Grey, and smiled softly.
Grey reciprocated it and looked over at Beatrice. “I told Linda some things and she said she would discuss it with you tomorrow.”
“Alright. So, Caramel,” Beatrice looked at Caramel. “How was your interview with Hercules?”
“Incredible mom. I was so happy when he told me I could resume tomorrow. I’m going to be the new project manager of Protos Pubblicita,” she announced happily.
Beatrice smiled widely. “I’m so happy. Well, I know that you deserve it.”
“Congratulations, Caramel. I’m so happy for you,” Grey said.
“Well, Giovanni probably,” Grey looked away. “I don’t think there’s another option. Though, I’m going to speak with Alfred about it. But all these must happen before he finds out who I really am.”
Alright,” Charles nodded briefly. “Let’s get settled with Italy, then we can call an emergency meeting among the elders.”
“Alright. Are you sure Fred has no way of escaping?”
“Yes, he’s secured,” He promised.
