Chapter 32: Promise
Grey stared at the door for a moment. He didn’t know exactly what Avery was angry about Was it because he hasn’t gifted her anything since they’ve been married? Or was it because he lied about getting suits with his advance payment or because she thought he wasn’t caring? He has questions but the answers elude him,
Grey spent the night in the maid’s room He got up earlier as he didn’t want Lucy to find out 11 could put him and Avery in trouble.
He knocked on the door but Avery didn’t answer He opened the door nevertheless and stepped in
He stopped abruptly as his gaze setiled on the view before him Avery sat on the chair and was applying beauty products to her skin There were headphones on her ears and it could be the reason why she didn’t hear him knock the other time
Grey was able to see Avery’s flawless and long legs as she applied the moisture She wasn’t aware of his presence or so he thought because she suddenly held out the towel, revealing the beauty of her body
Grey hasn’t remembered the way she looked even though they had something together. He wasn’t even able to remember the peculiar thing that forced him to be a son-in-law
Grey wanted to look away He should but he couldn’t, he was dumb struck
The hand circulating the thigh stopped suddenly as if just acknowledging some lactical error Like in slow motion, she looked up slowly when her eyes met with Grey, she screamed and lurched at the lowel
“Look away.” She yelled, devastated
Grey turned around like a robot, his face flushed at what he had been staring at
The truth was that Grey doesn’t love Avery and well, she doesn’t love him as well But, something was pulling them together now and Grey would stop at nothing to prove to his in-laws that he was capable of caring for Avery even though there would be no existence of love in their relationship
After the betrayal of Nora, Grey doesn’t even think he could fall in love The only thing he was after was becoming a good son-in-law and also being able to unravel the mystery behind his father’s death and also find the spy Also, he needed a nice prelense if he really didn’t want others to suspect he was Hercules
“What the fuck did you think you were doing? She snapped
* I’m sorry I didn’t know you were naked. I knocked on the door but you didn’t respond,” he rushed his explanation Though, he wondered why he had to. Avery was supposed to be his wife, wasn’t she?
“What if your grandfather knocks on the door now? What would he think If he sees me looking away from your flawless body7 Grey teased
“My grandfather would never do that, dummy! Avery remarked * You should get out and wait for me. I will call you when I’m done here,” she suggested
Grey sighed “Alright, but you should hurry up as I’m going to work as well
“Don’t dictate to mel” Avery yelled
Grey, open this door!’ Lucy’s voice sounded from the other side of the door
Avery telt her heart increase its beal as she stered at the door.
“Is Grey in this room? Lucy inquired
