Ice and Fire

Chapter 702 A Chance Encounter (Part Four)

"An ordinary employee? Then why would go out of his way just to save an ordinary employee, even

putting his neck on the line that he literally got injured for that? And in return, I donated blood to save

him! Is that what you mean by a normal relationship between a boss and an ordinary employee?"

inquired Greg nonchalantly. He had frozen entirely with anger, and even the beautiful, affable woman

sitting right next to him couldn't melt the icey layer that had now encrusted his heart in a flash without

prior warning.

"So what explanation do you want from me?" asked Violet calmly. She hadn't expected that her first

quarrel with Greg after marriage would arise so soon and escalate by petty altercations. Did Greg

distrust her? Or was he merely oversensitive? Greg knew she once worked in the GR Group before

they got married, and he also knew Roger got injured while trying to save her. If he couldn't accept all

those things, why did he marry her? And she would not have promised to marry him so easily if she

had known that he would care so much about those things! She loved Greg very much, and she was

willing to do everything for him. Even without sentimental endorsements of love and an extravagant

wedding ceremony, Violet was romantic in her own authentic way. All that she wanted was to be with

Greg. She had quite a deal of scars on her skin, but Greg didn't care about all those blemishes. She RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

had been confident, in him she had found a man who looked beyond those little imperfections. She

believed Greg was a real gentleman who loved her for the beautiful, courageous and unpretentious

person she was. It always moved her heart to know she had such a rare gem of a man for love.

Counting herself fortunate in a world where heartache and pain were almost synonymous with

relationships, indeed, she counted herself lucky to have Greg. For him, she had inwardly vowed to be

the very best could. Priceless love, they had together. That's what she had always told herself.

But what was happening now? What the hell was going on? He was angry with her. He didn't trust her.

His expression, his eyes, and even his tone of speech told her that he didn't love her as much as she

had thought.

While she struggled with this deluge of thoughts, Greg sat there, quiet as a mouse left forlorn of hope.

He didn't know what explanation he wanted either. He just knew he was mad at Roger's leering eyes

and attitude towards Violet.

Although the sky was clear, the air inside the car felt like an ominous cloud hung in above, threatening

to erupt in a furious storm. Getting increasingly frustrated by Greg's detached demeanor, Violet decided

to let him be.

At that moment, Violet then took the dessert bag from the back seat and unbuckled her seat belt. "I'll go

to Uncle Mond's house alone," she declared.

Without another word, she got off the car, walked a few steps and waved down a taxi.

As Greg watched the taxi drive away, he didn't know what to do, but he was sure, it would be no use

trying to catch up with Violet at the moment. He needed time for navel-gazing. maybe that would calm

him down.

When she got off at Mond's home, her thoughts wandered off as she pressed the doorbell. It was only

when she saw the nanny who answered coming out of the villa that she broke out of her reverie.

"Hello," cheerfully, Violet greeted.

"Hi Violet," replied the nanny with a beaming smile. "Your Uncle had expected you'd be here earlier.

He's waiting for you," the nanny continued.

"Alright. And where is my Aunt?" asked Violet as she walked into the villa after the nanny.

"Your Aunt is out of the country. She went to see Natalie, and hasn't come back yet," answered the

nanny. "Would you mind having lunch with your Uncle? Since I knew you were coming, I prepared

some of your favorite dishes. I'm so excited to see you after such a long time."

"Oh, you're ever so sweet. I wouldn't mind a meal here," replied Violet pleasantly.

As soon as she walked into the living room, Violet found Uncle Mond waiting on the couch.

"Hi Uncle Mond. Sorry for keeping you waiting longer. Finally, here I am," she greeted, as she walked

over to give her Uncle the desserts in her hands before taking a seat next to him.

"There you are, Violet. Thank you sweetie. You don't need to bring any present for me next time," said

Mond. He thought Violet was over polite this time. When she came here before, she was as casual as

in her own home. He didn't expect that she would bring him desserts this time.

"It's not an expensive gift. It's just some desserts. We can have some after lunch," replied Violet.

"So you meant that you'll have lunch with me?" asked Mond in surprise. Yesterday, he received a

phone call from Violet, and she said she would come to visit him today. He thought she'd only stay for a

brief chat like she always did. He was elated to hear she'd stay longer and even have a meal with him.

It was so long ago when they last had a meal together.

"Of course I will. The nanny just told me that she prepared the dishes I like, and Aunt is abroad. I know

you are lonely to have lunch alone, so I came here early to have lunch with you," said Violet, putting

her head on Mond's shoulder. She felt close to him like his daughter.

"Alright, alright. It's very kind of you, my sweetie," replied Mond with a grin on his face.
