Secretly The Billionaire Boss
Chapter 165. Letâs divorce The open day came so fast. Grey couldnât return home the day before. He slept off at Beatriceâs place and even went to work from there. But when he got home last night, Avery still refused to speak to him and Grey decided she was still angry at him. Though, he wondered how long she would stay angry. And he wondered the kind of lies Chris had made to her recently. In fact, Avery didnât let him talk It wasnât just ignoring, it felt like a deep resentment. It was the open day and Grey didnât want Avery to ruin it for him. Though, he planned on having breakfast that morning. âSeems like the boss decided to have breakfast at home today,â Smith teased. Grey looked up at him.â Should that be an issue?â
Smith grinned.â I was only saying. Just you take everything the wrong way?â
Avery was strangely quiet, different thoughts going through her mind in a whirling confusion. âHeâs working extra, perhaps he wants to buy us a house,â Emma said suddenly.
Avery looked up at her mother and opened her mouth to defend Grey. She stopped almost immediately and sighed instead.
Smith laughed. âSeriously? That will be very great. At least, we will be able to point at something reasonable that he has done.â
âYou guys should stop it!â Lucy boomed. ââ Yes, itâs not funny. Emma, you should stop it,â Benjamin scolded.
âI want a divorce!â Avery said suddenly, startling everyone in the room.
Even Grey was shocked. He turned to look at Avery, with confused brows. âWhat did you just Say?â
Avery ignored him, her gaze directed at Lucy. âGrandpa, you said would do anything I want. Now Iâm saying that I want a divorce. Can you please accept it?â
âAvery, what are you doing?â Avery looked at him eventually.â What does it look like Iâm doing?
Divorcing of course.â Lucy sighed. âYes, I did say I would go by what you want. But itâs not going to be you alone. Grey, do you agree with the divorce?â Averyâs eyes went wide with shock. Lucy was doing it again, siding with Grey. âGrandpa, that was what you said!â
âGrey will have to decide or I wonât consent to it.â
Avery released a sigh Emma stared at Lucy, with anticipation Smith smiled softly, his plan with Chris actually worked perfectly âI donât want a divorce!â Grey announced suddenly and turned to look at Lucy.â I donât want a divorce.â
He repeated though he didnât know if it was because he was slowly getting familiar with Avery or because he still wanted to use her as a cover.
âAre you out of your mind? What are you still waiting for?â Avery yelled in anger. Grey regarded her for a moment. âYou are just angry, it shouldnât lead to this way,â he said softly Avery felt angrier.â Grey, accept it right now. We are going to divorce. You know about it already. So why are you stopping it?â She stressed, disappointed.
Grey sighed and stood up.â We canât talk now. Letâs talk when I get back home.â
âNo!â Avery stood as well.â We will settle this matter before you leave, Grey,â she muttered.
âNo, you are so angry. Letâs discuss it later,â he finished and hurried out of the room before Avery would say more.
Avery could only call his name before he vanished out of the house.
âI always knew that Grey was a stupid and selfish man. He must have been using Avery as a pass in some areas. Iâm sure thatâs why heâs reluctant to let go,â Emma opined.
Lucy looked at her, throwing her a dirty stare that shut her up immediately. He looked at Avery. âTalk it over with Grey. If he doesnât accept, then I wonât consent to it.â
Avery released an exasperated sigh. She didnât know if she was supposed to be grateful that his grandfather was finally going to let her divorce Grey or if she was supposed to be sad at his new rule of divorce.
Grey drove out into the street, with a heavy heart. He didnât know why but somehow, he didnât want to divorce Avery. He actually thought things would get better between them. But the opposite was happening. And he wondered if he should have agreed to it the other time.
His phone rang suddenly, forcefully pulling him out of his thought. It was Beatrice.
âHi, Grey! Where are you? We have an issue with the man that was supposed to make the polo. Also, we canât find the man that was supposed to provide us with the space but Linda had gone to settle that.â She sounded so anxious.
Grey smiled.â You are so anxious. Can you calm down?â Beatrice laughed. âIâm just so surprised that Victoria cream is coming out today! I canât believe itâs happening while Iâm still alive.â
âIt is, Mother and it will definitely be a huge success. I will be there soon, I just need to eat before coming Iâm starvingâ âNo, donât eat out. There is food here!â She announced suddenly âWhat? How? I thought you are at work already?â Beatrice laughed again.â Of course I am but itâs an open sale. So, I prepare a sumptuous meal for all the workers. We are currently celebrating,â she declared.
Grey laughed. âI will be right there! You must not finish the food.â
âHurry up or it would be a sorry case,â she teased and hung up. Grey decided to speak with Avery and give her the consent that she wanted. So, he made a U turn and drove back home. Avery doesnât trust him anyways. And besides, it doesnât look like they would get along. That aside, it doesnât matter if he was a son-in-law or not, he would still be able to hide his identity as Hercules.
And Avery doesnât even like him a bit. What was the essence of staying with her? It was just problem upon problem.
When he pulled up in front of the house, was when Avery was about to enter her car.
Grey hurried down and moved closer to her.
She actually knew he was the one because she whirled around to look at him. âWhat now? What do you want?â âA divorce,â he announced suddenly.â Letâs get the divorce that you want.â
