Chapter 443

Chapter 443: Ayes Grey stayed beside Aphrodite till the next morning, he actually slept off.When he woke up the next morning, Aphrodite was suddenly gone.He was shocked at first.

The doctor said she might not even wake up throughout the second day.

Does that mean someone walked in and took her while he was asleep? That wasn't really possible anyway.Grey was a light sleeper alright but the course of events of the day really affected him.But he still couldn’t believe it.He got up and his neck felt stiff.

"You could have slept on the bed beside me instead of sleeping so uncomfortable," a soft voice said suddenly, jerking Grey out of his thoughts.He didn’t even need to turn to know who the speaker was.

"Novia?" He was shocked.

Aphrodite smiled.

"Good morning, Grey.It feels like I’ve been sleeping for ages.I think I’m the live adaptation of the sleeping beauty," no.vel.e.book she laughed.

Grey regarded her for a moment, a smile on his face.

"You seem ok, joking like that.I thought something was going to happen to you," no.vel.e.book he confessed.

"What do you remember before you black out?" Aphrodite inclined her head aside as she thought about it.

"Well, I had a disagreement with Thomas but I begged him and we decided to share a few drinks."

Grey stood up unconsciously.

"Seriously?" Aphrodite nodded once.

"After Thomas had left, I remember drinking more before I black out. That was the only thing I remember."

Grey couldn’t believe it. He scoffed.

"so, Thomas knew what happened to you? He intentionally set you up?" Aphrodite regarded him for a moment.

"He might not know.He ordered the wine.The wine could have been tampered with before we ordered it.Anything could have happened," no.vel.e.book she explained.

Grey sucked in breath.

"Are you taking his side?"

"Well, he hasn’t done anything wrong.I don’t think it’s good to put the blame on him like that," she muttered and walked out of the room.

Actually, she understood everything.

Thomas could have set her up because he insisted they go to a particular bar that night.It was really as if he planned something.He asked her out, alright but maybe he planned something depending on the answer she gave.If she had given him a positive reply, he might not have drugged her.

"Where and how did you find me?" Aphrodite asked quickly the moment she felt Grey behind her.

"The president's son took you as a payback.And I’m sure he gave Thomas the work.Thomas must have gotten back at you for not agreeing to go out with him," he explained.

Aphrodite turned to look at him, a bit shocked.

"How did you know?" Grey sighed.

"I met with Thomas last night.Though, he didn’t tell me anything at first.It was easy for me to find out and I’m going to rip him apart if he truly sets you up!" He said in between clenched teeth. Aphrodite sighed.

"I’m hungry, I need to eat." Grey took two long strides forward.

"I can make something for you."

Aphrodite looked up at him for a moment.

"Can you let Thomas go for my sake?"

"So, you knew?"

Aphrodite rolled her eyes.

"I'm not that dumb, Grey and you know it.I discovered this immediately.Thomas insisted we go to that particular bar.He made us talk before we started drinking.no.vel.e.book Now that I think about it, he barely drank the wine," she revealed.

Grey clenched his fist in anger.

"I’m going to kill him!" He muttered.

"Fuck! Grey! Why are you so sensitive?"

Aphrodite yelled suddenly, shocking Grey for a moment.

"You are overreacting.Besides, you aren’t supposed to do more than the victim."

"Well, it doesn’t matter.You are one of my elders and a close friend.It’s my responsibility to do what I wish with any idiot that fuck you up!"

He placed stress on the last part.

"Stop Grey! It’s been too much and I don’t like it.I like Thomas and I wouldn’t want him to get hurt.Just because I gave him a negative reply doesn’t mean I don’t like him at all." Grey released a sigh.

"Alright, no problem."

Aphrodite turned away.

"I can cook my food," she murmured and moved away to grab some ingredients that she would be needing.

"Should I make something for you too?"

Grey didn’t answer as he walked closer to her again and whirled her to him.

"Grey, what-,"

Aphrodite started but stopped immediately when Grey kissed her. She was shocked to her bone that she didn’t respond.

Grey pulled back and looked at her.

"I don’t care, Novia.I will kill people if they try to harm you.I will destroy anyone regardless of who they really are."

"Don't do that again unless you are ready for the consequences!" Aphrodite warned.

"What consequences?" He laughed.

"I expect none from my girlfriend," he announced.

Shock kept Aphrodite motionless and speechless for a moment.

"Are you playing me?"

"Have I ever played you in such a way? Novia, Will you be my girlfriend?" He asked but saw that Aphrodite hesitated.

"Well, you have no choice because I already told Thomas that you are my girlfriend."

Aphrodite laughed, unable to believe it.

"Are you for real?" Grey nodded once.

"I’m serious.The world thinks Hercules is your boyfriend already.There’s no pain in letting that tiny thing come true." Aphrodite laughed again.

"Alright, I agree."

"Agree for what?" A deep voice interrupted suddenly. Aphrodite and Grey turned to look at Charles.

"What? Are you guys alright?"

Charles continued to watch them with confusion written all over his face.

Grey looked back at Aphrodite and kissed her before he parted ways.

"I’m hungry too," he muttered before he moved closer to Charles.

By now, Charles was laughing.

"Is it what I’m thinking?"

"And what are you thinking of?" Grey feigned innocent.

"You guys have eventually started dating?" Grey looked back at Aphrodite and smiled.

Actually, he felt relieved now.
