Chapter 32: Promise
Grey stared at the door for a moment. He didn’t know exactly what Avery was angry about Was it
because he hasn’t gifted her anything since they’ve been married? Or was it because he lied about
getting suits with his advance payment or because she thought he wasn’t caring? He has questions but
the answers elude him,
Grey spent the night in the maid’s room He got up earlier as he didn’t want Lucy to find out 11 could put
him and Avery in trouble.
He knocked on the door but Avery didn’t answer He opened the door nevertheless and stepped in
He stopped abruptly as his gaze setiled on the view before him Avery sat on the chair and was
applying beauty products to her skin There were headphones on her ears and it could be the reason
why she didn’t hear him knock the other time
Grey was able to see Avery’s flawless and long legs as she applied the moisture She wasn’t aware of
his presence or so he thought because she suddenly held out the towel, revealing the beauty of her
body
Grey hasn’t remembered the way she looked even though they had something together. He wasn’t
even able to remember the peculiar thing that forced him to be a son-in-law
Grey wanted to look away He should but he couldn’t, he was dumb struck

“Look away.” She yelled, devastated
Grey turned around like a robot, his face flushed at what he had been staring at
The truth was that Grey doesn’t love Avery and well, she doesn’t love him as well But, something was
pulling them together now and Grey would stop at nothing to prove to his in-laws that he was capable
of caring for Avery even though there would be no existence of love in their relationship
After the betrayal of Nora, Grey doesn’t even think he could fall in love The only thing he was after was
becoming a good son-in-law and also being able to unravel the mystery behind his father’s death and
also find the spy Also, he needed a nice prelense if he really didn’t want others to suspect he was

“What the fuck did you think you were doing? She snapped
* I’m sorry I didn’t know you were naked. I knocked on the door but you didn’t respond,” he rushed his
explanation Though, he wondered why he had to. Avery was supposed to be his wife, wasn’t she?
“What if your grandfather knocks on the door now? What would he think If he sees me looking away
from your flawless body7 Grey teased
“My grandfather would never do that, dummy! Avery remarked * You should get out and wait for me. I
will call you when I’m done here,” she suggested
Grey sighed “Alright, but you should hurry up as I’m going to work as well
“Don’t dictate to mel” Avery yelled
Grey, open this door!’ Lucy’s voice sounded from the other side of the door
Avery telt her heart increase its beal as she stered at the door.
“Is Grey in this room? Lucy inquired
Avery looked over at Grey for assistance She wants nothing but to get on hei grandi ather’s side and it
looked like Lucy was hell-bent on marrying her off to Grey She would have to keep a low profile till she
Mugured out how to go about it
“Yes sir, I am,” Grey replied quickly, as he sensed the desperation in Averys eyes
Avery heaved a reliel sigh at his response
“Can I come in right now? I need to speak with Avery,” he seemed urgent
* But grandfather, we are in a compromising position,” she said quickly
Grey was forced to look at her “What compromising position?” He whispered
Avery made a sign of keeping his mouth sealed if he loved his life
Grey sigh “Yes sir, we are,” he said
“You guys are naked? It’s morning what the fuck are you doing?
Grey shrugged and gave Avery an i-told-you so signal
“But grandpa, we are just.. she stopped suddenly when Grey’s lips touched hers His right arm snaked
around her waist and pressed her body against his chest while his left arm held the lowel in check

“Let’s Talk this over during breaklast Though. I only have a few minutes left.’ and he left
Avery couldn’t believe her ears Lucy wanted her to lag along It has never happened asier the incident
with Grey and the heiress’s position has been taken from her It seemed to her that Lucy was about to
rescind his decision Though, she saw no reason why it would happen because the very person that
caused the problem was still sticking to her like glue
“You look overjoyed,” Grey smiled.
Avery was brought back to the mundane world by his deep voice “What the fuck did you just do? Did
you just kiss me! You dirly dumbass!” She screamed with disgust and pulled away from Grey
Even though Grey hasn’t washed his mouth or had his bath, he lasted nice in Avery’s mouth. But she
had no time to think of it Instead, she went in for another quick shower, delaying Grey for another
moment
Grey didn’t say anything Instead, he patiently waited for her to be done He somehow knew that he
wouldn’t be able to eat with Robinson Breakfast would be gone by the time he was done,
When Gray walked into the living room. Lucy was speaking with Avery
“J K company is sponsoring a deal and they want you to be present as a prominent person of the
