Chapter 708 Visiting Amy And Derek (Part Three)

Amy said,"I don't know, either. Alice hasn't told me anything. You can ask her when she comes back. NôvelDrama.Org © content.

She will probably be back in a day or two." A smile appeared on Amy's face the moment she thought

about her daughter's return. Soon, both her daughters, birth and sworn, would be around her and she

would be overjoyed.

"Fine, I really want to see what surprise she has for me," Violet said. She couldn't figure out what Alice

was planning.

The three of them were talking merrily in the living room until noon, and soon Derek came downstairs.

"Uncle Derek," The moment Violet saw Derek climb down the stairs, she greeted him, happily ran to

him and hugged him.

Derek laughed and said,"Oh, my baby Violet! It looks like you have had a wonderful honeymoon." Then

he turned to Greg.

"Hello, Uncle Derek," Greg quickly greeted him politely when he noticed that Derek was looking at him.

Derek was the CEO of JS Group and he was quite famous in this city.

Derek smiled and said,"Hi, Greg. I've seen you when you were a little kid. But I haven't had the chance

to meet you after you had grown up. I didn't think you'd grow up to be this handsome. But you look

exactly like your father when he was young. A friend was talking about you during a dinner with me a

few days ago. You're a talented young man."

Greg modestly replied,"I'm flattered that you think so highly of me." He knew that his father was in a

good relationship with Derek. He had no idea what Derek's friend had told about him, but he wasn't

surprised. He was from one of the upper class families and his name was bound to come up during

conversations.

Derek laughed,"My little Violet is very lucky. She has married such a good man. Both Jackson and I are

delighted to welcome you into the family."

Amy walked to Derek and touched his arm, saying,"Greg is such a great guy and everyone is happy to

have him here."

"Uncle Derek, Aunt Amy, don't compliment him anymore," Violet joked. Greg was like her, he hated all

the attention and wanted to keep a low profile. Maybe he was influenced by her. He disliked being

noticed by the public, but he was so good that he couldn't help but garner attention to himself.

Derek broke into laughter,"You don't want us to compliment Greg, but in your heart, Greg is just perfect,

isn't he? How else could you have married him?" He always understood what his little girl was thinking.

He and Amy had fallen in love with each other at first sight. After that, they got married and had lived

together ever since. He knew what Amy had been thinking at the time.

Violet shyly said,"Uncle Derek, stop." And she quickly lowered her head.

Amy smiled at the embarrassed Violet and she scolded Derek,"Look at you! You're embarrassing Violet

now. Could you stop talking so much?"

"Okay, Okay. I will not say anything more," Derek said to Violet and then turned to Amy,"Is lunch ready?

Let's go eat now."

Amy replied,"Okay, let's go."

In the dining room, the four of them had lunch while they happily talked to each other, as if they were a

family.

Violet asked,"Uncle Derek, did you often go to my home to have lunch?"

"Yes," he said and thought about the past,"Back then, your Daddy and I were best friends. We grew up

together and your grandfather also liked me. Every time I went to your home, your grandfather would

treat me and your Daddy equally. He gave us the same priority. So, I always went there to play."

"That is just like how I come to your home all the time and both Alice and I are like your daughters,"

Alice said cheerfully.

Derek totally agreed,"Exactly. At the time, your daddy and I still lived in the military's residential

compound. Amongst all the kids in the compound, your Daddy was my best friend and we were quite in

sync with each other. I knew what your Daddy wanted to do and your Daddy always knew what I was

thinking too."

Violet was curious and asked,"Uncle Derek, how did you meet Amy?" She had never asked him about

this before.

Derek smiled and looked at Amy, saying,"That is because of your mommy and your brother."

Amy looked deep into Derek's eyes and the two smiled sweetly.

"My brother? How is he related to this?" Violet asked, stunned. Greg was also surprised.

Amy explained,"I met your uncle for the first time at your front door. I had gone there to teach your

brother to play the piano and came across your uncle there." She could never forget that day when she

had met Derek for the first time. That man had entered her heart during their very first meet and she

had loved him ever since.

"And you two entered into a serious relationship at that time?" Violet asked, amazed. "And then you got

married?" She stared at the two of them unbelievably.

Amy nodded her head and replied,"Yes."

Violet said,"That's so romantic! Why haven't I ever come across a guy like that who deserves to be held

and cherished?" She complained, looked at Greg and pretended to be regretful. She wanted to see

how he would react to her words.

Greg declared simply and quickly, leaving no time for Violet to retort,"That's because you're destined to

be mine. And hence, no other guy is allowed to exist in your life." And he thought to himself, 'This silly

little woman, why would she want to have an impossible chance encounter? Even if she came across

some guy, I would stop them from falling in love. Violet is mine and no one will be able to take her away

from me.'
