Mark glanced at Gregory, too, a slight frown creasing his brow. "Mr. Ford, you live here?" It was the squestion I had. Given Gregory's wealth, he could pick any mansion, so why would he stay in such a homey place? Gregory flashed an easy smile. Tagging along for school." 'Tagging along? Isn't he supposed to be on the prowl for a young fiancée? And now he has a kid? Wealthy families are all too messy, secret children included." I sighed secretly.
Mark chuckled, exchanged a few pleasantries, and wheeled in the luggage from the hallway into the house. Seeing Mark was ready to keep helping, I quickly waved him off. "You don't have to do this, Mark. Christine will be here soon. She'll helpout. You can get back to your work now" Mark had just returned to the Larson family. And with Violet stirring trouble, he must have got his hands full. "Okay" Mark checked the time, didn't insist further, but still asked with concem, "So, how do you like the place?" I smiled.

"Avoiding trouble, huh?" Gregory seemed to have just woken up. After wandering into his place and returning with a glass of water, he leaned against the doorway and lazily asked.

Gregory's eyes twinkled with mischief, and he clicked his tongue. "Don't lumpin with family obligations, pushing those ties on me. I'm not into getting close to people without blood relation." I nodded, feigning surprise. "Didn't see that coming. You do have principles." That was so fake.
That day at the Larson family, he and Dorothy were quite cozy. Their banter remindedof the old days, like Bryant and Margaret.
"Jane, Gregory suddenly smirked roguishly. "Are we still on for that thing you promised the other day?" I frowned. "What thing?" He pressed, "Forgot?"
When our eyes met, with his teasing gaze, it hit me. It was back when hgot 5 back y caught spying in the Larson Mansion by him, and I had carelessly agreed to whatever he suggested.

He looked atwith interest, beckoningwith his finger. "Chere." "For what?" I eyed him warily, knowing from past encounters that it likely wouldn't end well.
Gregory pulled out his phone, tapped it a few times, and handed it to me.
The sunlight streamed through the window, highlighting his carefree arrogance, a smirk on his lips, Take a look at this." Chapter 233
