Chapter 383: Goodbyes
Grey stepped back instead and smiled. "It's ok, actually. I understand you perfectly, so you don't need to explain. If you can be ready tomorrow morning, I will show you where your mother is. Also, I'm already working with Alfred to get you a nice house so you can leave here and wait elsewhere for your mother," he explained.
Caramel regarded him for a moment. ’Can I stay here?"
Grey raised skeptical brows at her. "What?”
"I want to be here until my mother is alright. Then we can leave.’
Grey smirked. "Why would you want to do that? You've already made your thoughts known to me. There's no reason to pull back. We will do as I have said.*
Caramel sighed. ’I'm sorry for hurting you. Grey and I don't want you to continue to think of it."
"It doesn't work like that, Caramel. You can't just dish out what you want at any time. It has been finalised. You will get your house and leave here. There are no more options,’ he stated strongly.
Caramel shook her head briefly. ’Alright but I'm sorry. I hope you can forgive me."
Grey smiled at this. "I have Caramel, a long time ago. Now, if you will excuse me. I have a place to prepare for,’ he said casually and walked inside.
Caramel looked at him until he was out of sight and sobbed quietly. The fact that she loved him so much and it hurt her so much to see them part that way.
But she didn't even know what she was supposed to do at that moment. Everything felt so dizzy to her. She was almost losing the meaning of life itself. With Grey and her mother gone, she felt unlike herself.
Grey had decided and there was no way she would be able to change his mind. But instead of making him spend more money on her, she would rather go back to her father's house.
She rushed inside as the tears streamed down her face, almost blinding her. She didn't even know exactly why she was crying so hard or why she felt so heartbroken.
She was the one that sent Grey away. She was the one that yelled at him and told him that she didn't want to have anything to do with him. So, why does it hurt so much? Was it because she desperately wanted to stay with him?
Yes, she would have if she wasn't so scared of what the future held forthem. She didn't want to lose her mother and she couldn't bear to be in danger again. Staying with Grey was dancing on a canoe in the middle of the Atlantic ocean. Having a ship on the Atlantic ocean can be risky on its own, talkless of a canoe. So, it doesn't matter if Grey could protect her or would always come to her rescue. The danger would never subside, it would never stop.
And this was what she feared the most.
She packed a few of the dresses that Grey got for her and walked out of the room.
When she entered the living room, Grey wasn't in and she was grateful for that because she wasn't ready to see him at that moment, not when she couldn't even stop crying no matter how hard she tried.
She tends to move out but one of Grey's was suddenly blocking her path.
"What are you doing? Let me go,’ she begged them.
The man regarded her for a moment with a suspicious gaze. It was as if he was suspecting that something had happened inside.
Well, something had happened but it wasn't what he was thinking.
"I'm just leaving. I didn't do anything to Grey, I swear!" She yelled in frustration but the man wouldn't let her pass through.
"I have to inform the boss first," he voiced out eventually and before Caramel could blink, another man was speaking to Grey through the telephone.
