Chapter 343: Strange
"I don't know, Alfred. I hope that won't be the case here but let's see how it goes then. That will determine how it would all go," Grey said truthfully.
Alfred signed.
"I understand.I will give you a call later then," he finished and the phone went off.
Grey regarded the phone for a moment.
What just what if she really had aborted it? Grey didn't want to think about it but he couldn't stop himself from going back to the question and trying to find answers to his questions.
The sudden knock on the door jerked him out of his mind.
He looked back, remembering that Aphrodite was at home.
"Come down quickly, Grey. The food is ready. You should come down before it gets cold," she advised.
Grey nodded once.
"I will be there soon," he affirmed and hurried to have a quick bath.
It didn't take long before he was done.
Clad in black trousers and a brown t-shirt, he grabbed his phone and walked downstairs.
Aphrodite was eating when he joined her.
"You couldn't even wait for me." Aphrodite smiled.
"I'm starving. Besides, I needed something to stop me from thinking."
Grey sat in front of her.
"Thinking? About what?"
Aphrodite looked up at him for a moment.
"Are you really scared of it? I mean it's palpably clear that Caramel would do something like that. She has been feeling quite uneasy after she discovered who you really are," she muttered and continued eating.
Grey stared at her for a moment, shocked.
"You heard everything?"
Aphrodite didn't look up again as she nodded briefly.
"Actually, I was only able to hear your voice and not what Alfred told you. And I heard you talking about your baby."
Grey let out an exasperated sigh.
"How did you know she was feeling uneasy after I showed her who I really am?" Aphrodite smiled softly.
"There's a lot I know that you don't.All I can say is that Caramel doesn't love the real you, she loved the old you and there's no way you would be able to make her change her mind."
Grey watched her for a moment, still wondering what she was really talking about.
Was Caramel not supposed to be happy that he was powerful? And was rich? At least he wouldn't be disgraced because he was poor.
Why would she not love the new him? Does she expect him to be useless forever? It was a few minutes past 3 when Grey arrived at Victoria Skincare to discuss things with Linda.
"So, the first thing I want us to discuss is how to make it known that Hercules owns Victoria Skincare," Grey started.
Linda nodded once.
"I understand.It's very easy. We would just change some things and we would be fine.I will get you the file of all we need before I proceed."
It's known that Grey owns Victoria Skincare.
But after the declaration, Grey had to change his name from Grey to Hercules.
Well, it all belongs to him whatever anyone says.
Grey nodded once.
"I will be expecting. How is Emily?" Linda tensed.
"What? Emily?"
Grey watched her weird action for a moment.
"Are you alright?"
