Secretly The Billionaire Boss by Debbie chocolate novel Chapter 253

Chapter 253: Reassurance

Grey blinked once, then twice. Confused and shocked was an understatement. Grey was flabbergasted. He remembered how much he went through during their marriage. How Avery tampered with his dignity and ego.

It was weird that she could be confessing her feelings at that moment.

“And no!” She said quickly. “I’m not telling you to come back. I just had to tell you this, I mean before I leave,” she let out a sigh and looked up at Grey. “I regret everything that I’ve done to you. In fact, I regret how our relationship came to be. I’m sorry for trusting Chris over you. I’m sorry for letting you go through all you did. I hope you can. forgive me.”

Grey nodded once. “It’s ok. I forgave you already, a long time ago but if that’s why you want to leave, you shouldn’t. Isn’t your life here?”

“I don’t think so, Grey. Nothing is going well for me at this point. I feel like a loser and I need to start something to feel alive again,” she explained.

Grey stared at her, as he didn’t know what to respond with.

“Our marriage would have been the perfect one but it started with lies. I really love you but destiny gave us a joke. It would have been the best marriage ever,” she cracked laughter that was filled with sorrow.

Grey regarded her for a moment. Well, she knew how much it cost her for her grandfather to find them the way he did. And to now discovered it was Smith that set them up. Somehow, it felt like it wasn’t her fault.

“Well, we can restart,” he said suddenly, even when he didn’t expect it. Caramel was still there and he wouldn’t deny the fact that he truly loved Caramel. But he didn’t want Avery to be sad as well. If this would make her happy, he would gladly do it.

Avery faked a smile, somehow glad by Grey’s utterance. She didn’t expect it even though a tiny part of her wanted that to happen. It was so comforting to her that Grey didn’t hate her after all.

“I thought you hated me already,” she forced the words out but they came out with tears. “I thought you would say nasty things to me. I’m sorry but being like this but__,” she was cut off as Grey pulled her into a bear hug.

He stroked her back slightly. “It’s ok, Avery. This isn’t really your fault. It’s all your family’s fault,” he muttered.

Avery sobbed quietly. “But it’s still my fault. I shouldn’t have treated you the way I did. I shouldn’t have taken it all on you. I’m really sorry,” she felt happiness surge through her at her confession. She felt lightheaded and electricity run through her at Grey’s touch on her body. If they weren’t outside, she might actually give in to lust.

“It’s ok,” Grey pulled back after a while. What do you want to do now? Will you love for us to go back?”

Avery nodded briefly. “Yes but it’s too late,

Grey. I’ve lost everything and I have to work hard to get them back, that is if I can still get them back,” she expressed.

Grey nodded briefly. “Actually, I have someone else I love, even though I’ve always liked the bond we shared. We shared the same room, and stayed in the same house for months.”

Avery felt a lump appear in her throat at the revelation. She guessed it as well. It was normal anyways that Grey loved someone else with all she had made her go through.

Yet, it was heartbreaking.

“Is she someone I know?” She asked softly.

Grey nodded once. “Yes, it’s Caramel.”

Avery looked away quickly and tried to suppress a tear. “It’s ok. I don’t plan on staying anyways. My mind is made up but,” she hesitated as she looked up at him. “Can you do me a favor? A last one?”
