Chapter 31: A gem in hiding Caramel laughed. “Of course, I did. I wanted to see what you were doing and I saw you fighting those men. Why didn‘t you tell Avery the truth?” “It wouldn‘t change anything,” he insisted. “No,” Caramel shook her head.” It would have changed a lot. Maybe her parents won‘t stop seeing you as completely useless.” Grey regarded her for a moment. Caramel was too inquisitive and knows more than what she was supp osed to know. If someone like Caramel could recognize Max, then it would be dangerous for her to kno w the real Grey.

“I am completely useless. I don‘t really fit for Avery and we are only together because of some circumst ances,” he argued.” Though, I‘m trying my best to be good for her.”

She observed him for a moment.” Is there something you don‘t want to tell me? What are you hiding, G rey?”

Grey cleared his throat meaningfully. “I learned some things in the street after all. Actually, it was the on ly thing I could do well. I wanted to survive on the street and so, hence that,” he lied and looked away.

“Alright,” she stood, “I will leave now. Let‘s talk some other day,” she smiled and walked out of the hospi tal.

Grey wondered why she was so curious.

“The good for nothing is still here? I thought he left already,” Emma lashed out suddenly.

Grey stood up as Emma and Avery walked nearer. It seemed like Benjamin went to see the doctor.

“You should find your way home because you will never ride in my car and I will never let you ride in Av ery‘s car,” Emma informed and turned to look at Avery whose gaze was cold on Grey. “Let‘s go.”

Grey watched them walk out of the hospital and released a sigh. He knew he would need to try harder t o convince them. novelbin

“What are you still doing here?” Benjamin asked suddenly.” Where‘s Emma and Avery?”

“They left already,” he explained.

Benjamin seemed to have understood the situation. He sighed and stretched out a car key.” That‘s Aver y‘s car. Ride in that,” and he walked out of the hospital too.

Benjamin seemed to be considerate, especially most of the time. Grey entered the car and decided to c all Aphrodite. He might not have the time to call her when he arrives home. Aphrodite picked up after th e Software update ready to Instally or I will kill the caller!” She muttered in a scary voice. It seemed like she had been expecting Grey‘s call. Grey laughed.” It is Grey. You‘ve gone stronger, Novia.”

“Don‘t call me Novia, Grey!” She ordered. Grey went silent for a moment as he feigned surprise.” Why? But that‘s your name.” “Not anymore, Grey. The world has changed since you left. I am Aphrodite to the world now, just as you are supposed to be Hercules,” she explained. Grey nodded to that. The world has really changed. He had never for once suspected that his father was a mafia boss or if he would be one soon. The past weeks have been like a dream for him. And he still had a lot to do to fit in.

“What are you doing Grey? Can you come over to my place now?” Grey thought about it quickly and decided it was a bad idea. “I‘m married, Novia. It will be disrespectful to leave home at this time of the day.” Aphrodite went silent for a moment.” You are marrie d?” Surprise edged her voice. “When? And how? You are just twenty– five! And you are supposed to marry me!” She pointed out, boldly.

Grey smiled at her boldness.

“It‘s a long story, Novia. Maybe, we can talk about it later,” he suggested. He could feel her nod.” That‘s fine. You are coming to my villa tomorrow. We must see and talk about some things. You don‘t dare sa y no?” She added quickly.

Grey laughed.” You can‘t order Hercules, Novia,‘ he said softly. Aphrodite groaned.” Should I order you as a friend, then? Even that is difficult!” Grey laughed again.” You don‘t need to do that. We have a lot t o catch up with anyways. That aside, I have some things to tell you.” “Alright. I will be expecting you,” s he expressed happiness.

“I will call you later then.”

“Yes, but may I know who you got married to?” She said deadpan.

Grey hesitated for a moment.” Robinson Avery,” he finished up and the phone went off

immediately.

Grey sighed and pulled into the garage. When he entered the living room, there was no one around and so, he headed toward Avery‘s room.

The room was locked and Grey had to knock. After several minutes of beating the door, Avery opened it you. I just want to sleep,” he pleaded softly.

Avery scoffed.” Were you going to ask me to let you touch me? You are so daydreaming because that w her flawless face for a moment. “What did you expect me to do? I couldn‘t win against those men and I t

“Seriously?” She smirked. “You are so incorrigible!” She yelled angrily.” We‘ve been married and you‘ve advance and you call yourself a husband? You couldn‘t even protect me!” “If it was Chris, he would neve rich guys in the restaurant!” She pointed out, angrily. Grey stood, watching the spread of emotion on her face
