Chapter 367: Scheme
Kissing Caramel was what Grey had wanted to do all this while. He missed her so much but Caramel was suddenly pulling back as if he touched some vital points on her.
Her face mirrored surprise or maybe it was fear. But why would she fear him?
"What? Is everything alright? Did I hurt you?" Grey wasn't sure but he still needed to ask.
Caramel shook her head briefly, with a smile. "I just-/ she stopped and swallowed harder. "I just remember some things from the past. I remember everything now," her smile got even wider.
Grey smiled, overjoyed by the news. ’That's good news. I'm so glad! I'm so happy about that. Come here," he spread his arms wider again for Caramel to hug him.
Caramel hugged him, even though she had a lot going on in her head. There was no telling what she would do again.
But she knew what she wanted already. She wasn't ready to be with Grey, not anymore.
But it wasn't what she could do at that moment.
Grey pulled her back slowly again." You should get some rest. I have some things to do. You can stay here till you are ready to come back home."
"Home?" Caramel raised a brow as if she couldn't believe the word being used."Your place?"
Grey nodded once. "I will send one of the maids to take you to the guest room.’
Caramel nodded once and tried to look cheerful.
The door opened and Alfred walked inside with a maid as if he one Grey was going to be needing one of them.
Grey looked at him. ’Tell your maid to take Caramel to the guest room. You and I need to talk."
Alfred nodded once and looked at the maid. He didn't need to talk because the maid understood him quickly. She had been working with Alfred for a very time anyways. She was as old as Beatrice.
She bowed slightly and moved to Caramel. "Follow me."
Caramel looked at Grey for a moment, their eyes locked for almost eternity before she turned around and left. Though, Grey didn't know if she was being reluctant because she would miss him or perhaps she was only scared.
But Caramel was being hesitant because of what she had seen.
Grey looked at Alfred. "I'm going to ruin Seth eventually and I'm going to kill him if Beatrice dies. But I need to make sure he doesn't tell Smith that I'm Hercules. He needs to be sure that Grey isn't Hercules. I need to make sure he's like that."
He didn't want to think about the fact that Avery would know he was Hercules if Smith knows. Though, he had nothing to do with Avery anymore but_ it still felt weird for her to know. And many more people could get to know about him through Smith. If Smith already knows, then Seth had to change the perspective.
"I understand but do you have any plan?"
Grey nodded once. "I do but I need your help."
Seth was still confused. What was really happening? Richard had called him earlier to inform him that Hercules wasn't dead and he was being followed.
He had even forgotten to ask him if he was alright at that moment. But he should be. If he wasn't, he would have told him.
