Chapter 208: Nursed
Grey pulled back a bit, a bit skeptical as to why he kissed her. Was it because he wanted to stop. her
from speaking? Caramel was getting too upset and it was not good at that moment. So, Grey had to
shut her
Though, he couldn’t yet deny how he felt for her at that moment even though he had tried his best not
to show any feelings. It felt weird that he just kissed his ex-wife’s friend but well, het was only human.
“I divorced Avery, remember?”
“Maybe I made you do it,” she said stubbornly, catching Grey off guard.
“Heck no, Caramel. You are not the reason I broke up with Avery. It just happened because we weren’t
compatible. It would have been better if we had started as nothing. The relationship was something that
could have been avoided,” he explained.
Caramel blinked once, then twice. “What?”
Grey stepped back, his hair already damp with rain water. “Just forget it. Let’s stay out of the rain
before you catch a cold.”
“Why did you kiss me?” She asked, stopping him in his steps. “You only complicated matters! How am I
supposed to stop nursing the feeling?” She yelled.
If it wasn’t raining, half of the citizens might have heard her. Caramel was having outbursts that she
doesn’t even have before. Grey was surprised and then worried.
“Let me go. I will get back to you when I’m done settling my feelings,” she expressed and turned away
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtto leave. “I have a lot to think about anyways.”
Grey felt like he was going to start having complicated feelings as well. He had to decide quickly and
he knew it. Was he supposed to deny his feelings because of the circumstances?
Or was he supposed to man up eventually?
It seemed like the most difficult decision to make. Harder than becoming Hercules but Grey knew he
would run mad if Caramel entered a relationship that doesn’t entail him.
If Caramel got past it by dating, the stuff would greatly affect him. So, it was better like this or being late
generally.
Caramel barely took steps away from him. So with heavy steps, it was easy for him to catch up with
her.
He turned her towards himself abruptly, as the rain beats even harder on them.
“I didn’t tell you to stop nursing the feelings for me,” he shook his head slightly. “I don’t even permit you
to.”
Caramel stared at him, too shocked to say a word. It felt like she was dreaming.
Grey pulled back the hair that was sticking over her face. “Your existence isn’t confusing, it just seems
like it,” he remembered the days when he thought he was nothing. Days where commiting suicide were
thoughts that always went through his mind. “Beatrice loves you so much and you don’t even need
anyone to tell you that. You know how she acts whenever she’s around you and well, everything that
had happened wasn’t her fault. You were switched at birth and she cried, thinking her daughter had
died. She would have looked everywhere for you if she knew you weren’t, trust me.”
Unconsciously, she started to cry. “My mother died when I was very young. When I was in school, I
wished I could wake her and make her go to events with me. So-,” she pulled to a sudden stop, almost
choking on her words. “You mean to say I still have a mother?”
Grey smiled at how cute she looked. “Beatrice is waiting for you at home, just as she has always
waited for you when she didn’t even know you were her daughter,” he expressed. “Will you go home
with me?”
Caramel nodded slightly.
Grey pulled her into a hug and stroked her back slightly. “Don’t worry, you will be fine.”
Caramel’s smile widened as her arms snaked around Grey. Though Grey was yet to profess his love
for her, she felt good with his permission and his actions towards it. It was sufficient for her.
“Come, let’s go home before you catch a cold,” he proposed, as he held her firmly by the hand and
walked her towards the house.
Beatrice was waiting for them by the door. When she saw them from afar, she hurried to meet them.
“Violet,” she called softly as she met with them but she was looking directly at Caramel. “It was the
name I gave you in the hospital.”
Caramel smiled. “I love the name.”
Beatrice smiled as well and they both ended up in a bear hug. Beatrice was overjoyed. She gave Grey
a grateful smile. Who would have thought she would have a child of her own?

Beatrice pulled back and the two laughed before they entered the house while Grey followed. them
behind.
Not all stories end happily. Grey was upset and sad that he was unable to meet his parents alive but he
was grateful for the fact that Beatrice met at least one of her children. She knew that she would be
fine.
“So, who is my father?” Caramel asked suddenly.
“He died years back but I wouldn’t want you to disown your current father. For now, I don’t think it’s
advisable to claim mother and daughter relationship in public,” Beatrice explained.
“You guys should make a change of clothes before you start having a conversation. It’s very important,”
Grey reminded.
They didn’t say anything to him and instead went up the stairs.
Grey walked to his room as well. He placed a call to Don and he picked up immediately. He seemed to
be in the club judging by the loud music but he soon moved to a silent place.
“Hello, boss.”
prepare some tonight? I will be busy tomorrow morning.”
“Yes boss, I can do that. I will definitely make some arrangements but what if they arrive early
tomorrow morning?” He inquired.
Grey thought about it for a moment, “No problem then. I will be waiting for them.”
