Chapter 165. Let’s divorce The open day came so fast. Grey couldn’t return home the day before. He
slept off at Beatrice’s 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
didn’t let him talk It wasn’t just ignoring, it felt like a deep resentment. It was the open day and Grey didn’t
want Avery to ruin it for him. Though, he planned on having breakfast that morning. “Seems like the boss
decided to have breakfast at home today,” Smith teased. Grey looked up at him.” Should that be an
issue?”
Smith grinned.” I was only saying. Just you take everything the wrong way?”
Avery was strangely quiet, different thoughts going through her mind in a whirling confusion. “He’s
working extra, perhaps he wants to buy us a house,” 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. “Seriously? That will be very great. At least, we will be able to point at something
reasonable that he has done.”
“You guys should stop it!” Lucy boomed. “” Yes, it’s not funny. Emma, you should stop it,” Benjamin
scolded.

Even Grey was shocked. He turned to look at Avery, with confused brows. “What did you just
Say?”
Avery ignored him, her gaze directed at Lucy. “Grandpa, you said would do anything I want. Now I’m
saying that I want a divorce. Can you please accept it?”
“Avery, what are you doing?” Avery looked at him eventually.” What does it look like I’m doing? Divorcing
of course.” Lucy sighed. “Yes, I did say I would go by what you want. But it’s not going to be you alone.
Grey, do you agree with the divorce?” Avery’s eyes went wide with shock. Lucy was doing it again, siding
with Grey. “Grandpa, that was what you said!”
“Grey will have to decide or I won’t consent to it.”
Avery released a sigh Emma stared at Lucy, with anticipation
Smith smiled softly, his plan with Chris actually worked perfectly
“I don’t want a divorce!” Grey announced suddenly and turned to look at Lucy.” I don’t want a divorce.”
He repeated though he didn’t know if it was because he was slowly getting familiar with Avery or
because he still wanted to use her as a cover.
“Are you out of your mind? What are you still waiting for?” Avery yelled in anger. Grey regarded her for a
moment. “You are just angry, it shouldn’t lead to this way,” he said
softly
Avery felt angrier.” Grey, accept it right now. We are going to divorce. You know about it already. So why
are you stopping it?” She stressed, disappointed.
Grey sighed and stood up.” We can’t talk now. Let’s talk when I get back home.”
“No!” Avery stood as well.” We will settle this matter before you leave, Grey,” she muttered.
“No, you are so angry. Let’s discuss it later,” 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.
“I always knew that Grey was a stupid and selfish man. He must have been using Avery as a pass in
some areas. I’m sure that’s why he’s reluctant to let go,” Emma opined.
Lucy looked at her, throwing her a dirty stare that shut her up immediately. He looked at Avery. “Talk it
over with Grey. If he doesn’t accept, then I won’t consent to it.”
Avery released an exasperated sigh. She didn’t 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 didn’t know why but somehow, he didn’t 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.
“Hi, Grey! Where are you? We have an issue with the man that was supposed to make the polo. Also, we
can’t find the man that was supposed to provide us with the space but Linda had gone to settle that.” She
sounded so anxious.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGrey smiled.” You are so anxious. Can you calm down?” Beatrice laughed. “I’m just so surprised that
Victoria cream is coming out today! I can’t believe it’s happening while I’m still alive.”
“It is, Mother and it will definitely be a huge success. I will be there soon, I just need to eat before coming
I’m starving” “No, don’t eat out. There is food here!” She announced suddenly “What? How? I thought
you are at work already?” Beatrice laughed again.” Of course I am but it’s an open sale. So, I prepare a
sumptuous meal for all the workers. We are currently celebrating,” she declared.
Grey laughed. “I will be right there! You must not finish the food.”
“Hurry up or it would be a sorry case,” 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 doesn’t trust
him anyways. And besides, it doesn’t look like they would get along. That aside, it doesn’t matter if he
was a son-in-law or not, he would still be able to hide his identity as Hercules.
And Avery doesn’t 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. “What now? What do you
want?” “A divorce,” he announced suddenly.” Let’s get the divorce that you want.”
