Chapter 589

Chapter 589: The truth is bitter Avery couldn't stop thinking about all Grey had told her. She still found it hard to believe. How was she married and they weren't intimate? Does it mean she forced him to marry her? But then she wondered why she would do such a thing.

She took her phone and placed a call to Sean.

He picked it up immediately. “Hi, sister.” “I'm on the way home. So, come over. I won’t wait too much for you,” she finished and hung up immediately.

The car pulled into the garage and Avery got down before the engine of the car would even stop.

She walked inside the living room.

“Ben, have you_” Emily started but { stopped suddenly when she saw Avery.

Her eyes widened with shock. “Avery!” Joy exploded in her eyes. | | Avery managed a smile and met her mother midway. They hugged.

“Where have you been all these while? Why did you decide to stay away from us all this while?” She sobbed quietly.

“I'm sorry,” Avery responded and pulled back to look at her mother fully.

“T'just need to get myself back.

Besides, there are a lot of things I'm still missing. Was I married to Grey forcefully?” Emily's smile dimmed. “I_” she started.

“Avery!” Ben said suddenly, cutting through the silence that was currently about to ensue.

Avery looked at her father with a wide smile. “Daddy!” | “It's good to see you again after so long.” Avery smiled. “What about grandpa? Where is he?” Ben sighed. “He's sick. He's in the hospital.” “Yes, he kept asking for Grey,” Emily added.

Avery's furrowed her brows. “What? Why?” Emily sighed. “He's the only one that can help our company. We've gone bankrupt and Grandpa has been sick since then.” Avery was confused. “Why? He could help. He used to be his in-law. If he asked, I'm sure he would agree to it.” Emily sighed. “Well, you should come and sit. I will tell the maids to get you some snacks.” Avery held onto her. “Tell me, mum.

What happened? Well, you know I can't remember anything.” “Well, your grandfather wasn't really good to Grey when you were still married.” “Simply put, he didn't even treat him well. He was not nice to him at all.

Maybe if he was, then it would have been easier to ask him for such a favour,” Ben explained.

Avery was not only shocked but disappointed. The next question flew to her lips but she couldn't bring herself to ask it. She was very scared of the answer.

“Did _” she started and shook her | head almost immediately. “What was I doing all those while?” Emily and Benjamin looked at her at the same time, with a hint of surprise.

“Did I treat Grey bad?” Avery pestered.

“Did I force him to marry me?” “No, I did,” a masculine voice said suddenly. The door opened and Sean walked inside. “Actually, it was all my fault. I made grandfather and you hate him. Well, he did nothing wrong. The only thing he did was stay at the wrong place at the wrong time,” he explained.

Avery looked at Sean. Her memory was blank. She felt pained that she couldn't even remember anything about Grey “What did I do?” Avery ignored Sean and looked at Emily again. “How did I treat Grey?” That was a question she couldn't wait to be answered.

“Yes, you treated him very badly,” Sean responded.
