Chapter 527: The deal

Grey didn't want it to look weird, so he didn't walk inside and instead decided to continue eavesdropping until Aphrodite was done talking.

"But how did you discover this? You've been unconscious since the night of the announcement and I don't remember anyone discussing it around you."

Aphrodite nodded once. "I know. But it doesn't really matter how I came about it. I'm just concerned about Avery. I hope nothing happens to her."

Charles released a sigh. "Grey is not like other mafia bosses. He has a great heart. He's only concerned with Avery. I don’t think he's ever going to give saying Avery a chance. His marriage with her was under circumstances and it ended in a bad way," he explained.novelxo.com fast update

Aphrodite scoffed. "Maybe but well, I'm not concerned about that. I just want to make sure that Avery is fine."

Charles nodded once. "I will ask about how she is doing from Grey," he assured.

Aphrodite smiled at this. ’Thank you. So, what about Alex and Giovanni?’

‘ Well, Alex has been taken. Grey presented a lot of evidence in court that would definitely keep Alex away for a while.”

‘ While we deal with Giovanni,’ Grey said suddenly, cutting through Charles' words as he walked inside.

Aphrodite's face brightened up at the sight of him. "Grey," she called softly.

Grey smiled and pulled up three bags. "I got you all your favorites," he moved closer. ’Actually, I'm trying to think of a better plan but I'm yet to find one."

"Giovanni still has power even though it's not equivalent to yours. Maybe we could use that against him."

Grey nodded once. "I planned to see the special members tonight, remember? So, I think I will discuss some things with them."

Charles nodded once. "Should I go with you?"

"Yes, of course," he looked at Aphrodite. "How do you really feel now?"

Aphrodite smiled softly. "I feel very fine but well, I'm so hungry. I was waiting for you."

Grey arranged the table for her and looked at Charles. He mouthed a follow me to him before he stood up and walked out of the room, Charles followed him.

"I don't sincerely like you talking about Avery with Aphrodite."

Charles sighed. "She asked about her. I dont know how she knew but I couldn't lie to her about it."

Grey shook his head briefly. "Just tell her you dont want to talk about it. The whole conversation is weird, ok?"

"Sure but what are you so worried about? Aphrodite knows you love Avery but she's not even bothered about it."

"I don't love Avery," Grey said quickly before Charles would finish. ’Avery is my ex-wife and that's it. You don't think I shouldn't protect her merely because she had wronged me in the past? Besides, I was the one that forced her to come to Jacksonville. It's my duty to protect her," he explained.

"Alright," Charles nodded briefly, as he dramatically stretched up his hands. "I understand. It's very much ok and I will be careful next time."

"Better,” Grey muttered and stepped inside.

Charles watched him for a moment and huffed. He wasn't going in a hurry anyways. He was going to know how Grey really feel about Avery very soon.

Grey and Charles set out to one of his suites. The special members were going to be around soon and Grey had already informed one of his men to direct them to their private suite whenever they arrive.

"Are you still planning on rescuing Jimmy?" Charles asked suddenly.
