Chapter 700 A Chance Encounter (Part Two)

"You're right. Actually, I haven't had a dessert for quite some time. I wouldn't mind a little indulgence today," replied Violet, blushing at how readily Greg had sniffed her fib. 'He easily reads my mind, ' she thought to herself. 'He understands my world, ' she inwardly concluded.

"It's okay, you can eat some in the store, although we should also pack and bring some to Uncle Mond when we leave. What do you think?" Greg suggested.

"That sounds great, honey. I love you more for every little thing!" Violet replied, pleasantly nodding along.

"Really?" Feigning incredulity, Greg teased,"Then give me a kiss if you really love me."

"Um, no. There are a lot of people here," replied Violet, looking around skittishly. Although it was early in the morning, there were a lot of people bustling around the mall.

"I won't go to the dessert store if you don't kiss me," Greg protested. 'Why is she acting so coy and reticent much of the time?' he wondered. Silently, he told himself he'd have to train Violet into a more daring and adventurous woman.

"Why didn't you tell me you were back home? I went to your house trying to look for you after I was discharged from the hospital. But your nanny told me you were abroad," said Roger, who was so excited to meet Violet here unexpectedly.

"I'm so sorry, Mr. Roger. Greg and I came back yesterday, and we have a lot of things to do. We haven't been to my house yet, so I didn't even know you went there looking for me," explained Violet politely. After all, Roger used to be her boss.
