Chapter 24: Introduction of another son–in–law

“Can‘t pay? Too much?” Cindy whined. “I bet you don‘t have more than five hundred dollars in your account,” she teased further.

“I‘m sure of that. I bet he‘s regretting his decision right now,” Charlotte said from behind him.

Grey turned to look at Charlotte for a moment and saw that Kevin was coming over as well and speaking with Philip. He looked back at Cindy and caught a sly smile on her mouth.

Cindy must have intentionally called out to them so that they could watch his disgrace and he bet that they ordered foods that they couldn‘t eat. That kind of behavior is typical of Cindy. “Hi, not paying?” Philip said again.

“I can pay if you don‘t mind. I‘m not that hard,” Kevin boasted. He wasn‘t that hard, yet he had refused to help Grey in times of need. These guys only rub salt on wounds.

“Here,” Grey stretched out his card.

Cindy took it and stared down at the black card. “What are you doing with a black card?”

There was Grey Fox on it.

Cindy looked up at Grey.” You aren‘t Grey Fox, you are Grey Manson. What type of trick are you using here?”

Grey took the card from her. It‘s mine. I‘m Fox. Fox is my father‘s name while Manson is the name of one of the fathers in the orphanage,” he explained and stretched it out to the waiter.

“But how come? You lost your memory, is it back?” Philip questioned, skeptical.

Grey nodded and took the outstretched card. He looked at Cindy, “Am I free to leave?”

Cindy nodded, too shocked to say a word.

Grey walked out of the place. He stopped before his Rolls Royce and thought of what he should do. Avery‘s car wasn‘t among the cars in the parking lot which means that she must have gone home. He entered the car and drove straight to his house. He got a few of his clothes and shoes, then drove back to Robinson‘s house. The money he took from the bank was still in the car in his back seat.

Stepping out of the car, he noticed that a blue Rolls Royce was in the garage. The particular Rolls Royce wasn‘t like Grey‘s car in his design. The one he was staring at was a perfect definition of what the rich men would love to ride in because the exterior showed how much rich the owner was unlike his own which was built to deceive the public.

Avery‘s car was also parked in the garage and he wondered if caramel was the owner of the Rolls Royce.

He walked inside nevertheless, with a bag of clothes. As he stepped inside, a different deodorant hit his nose.

“Thank you so much, I‘m so glad,” Benjamin said.

Grey looked up at a tall and hefty man smiling at Emma. Emma looked so pleased with him and she was not insulting him like she loves to do with Grey.

“I will take my leave now then,” the guy announced. He and Emma turned towards Grev.

The smile on Emma‘s face slowly evolved into a frown. “Here, this is Chris. He is the man that saved Avery while you were out getting drunk,” she explained. Grey looked over at Chris. He had always

heard about him but had never seen him in person. His height was the same as Grey and he was a really attractive man and rich as well. He was in a neat tuxedo that looked so well on him.

“How?” Was the only thing that could come out of Grey‘s mouth because he was actually the one that rescued Avery and not even Chris.

“Is that what you are supposed to ask? Instead of you being grateful! You are asking him how he did it!” Emma snapped.

Grey was dumbfounded. He didn‘t even know how Chris took Avery and left. It was as if he intentionally avoided him.

“Anyway, here‘s Chris and he‘s my future son–in–law,” she declared with a smile. Grey looked over at her. “You have only one child. Who is he getting married to?” He asked innocently. “Dumb!” She hissed.” This is Avery‘s future husband.”

Chris giggled and stretched out his hand for a handshake.” Nice meeting you.”

Grey took the hand and started to squeeze slightly. “Do you know that she has a husband already? And I‘m the husband?” He squeezed harder to the extent that Chris started wincing in pain.

“What! Are you going to kill him?” Emma was quick to him across the face. Grey released Chris immediately and attended to his hurting cheek.” What the fuck are you trying to do to him? Do you think he‘s anyway like you? He has a nice job and he‘s wealthy. He‘s not like you! He‘s a man but you are not!” She yelled angrily. ” But mom, I‘m married to her already. She‘s my wife!” He argued.

“Who‘s your mom?” Emma fired back.” My child is Chris if that‘s what you want to hear. I will never be your mother.” “Emma, calm down,” Benjamin pleaded softly. But Emma wasn‘t ready to accept it.” She‘s not your wife, by the way. You may be her husband now but the situation is temporary. Chris is

Avery‘s husband,” she said adamantly and looked up at Chris.” Please, let‘s go. We shouldn‘t exchange words with this riff–raff,” and she led Chris out of the room. Grey sighed, unable to even think clearly. Why was Emma so held by material things?

“You know, I thought I could trust you a bit with my daughter which was why I do support you sometimes,” Benjamin said softly. Grey turned to look at him and wondered what he was on about.

Benjamin slowly craned his neck to look up at Grey. “I don‘t believe you could run away. How

could you leave my daughter in trouble and run away.” Grey froze for some minutes.” What are you saying, sir?” NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

Benjamin stood. “Don‘t ask me questions, Grey. I know what you did. You saw that Avery was getting harrassed and all you could do was run? Is that all you got? And you have the audacity to claim to be her husband?” He was slowly getting angry and his voice was getting deeper. Grey blinked once, shock kept him motionless and speechless for a moment. “Who the fuck said I ran away? Because I didn‘t. I was actually the one that rescued Avery,” he protested.

Benjamin shook his head. “You should quit lying before I lose it with you,” he went silent for a moment. “You know what, I‘m disappointed in you and I must tell you that you aren‘t fit to be my daughter‘s husband!” He said finally before he walked inside.

Grey watched with eyes that had gone gobsmacked. He didn‘t need anyone to tell him that it was Chris that twisted the word.

Grey felt a stab of annoyance and the urge of going after Chris to give him a taste of his own medicine was very overwhelming.
