As if on cue, the doorbell rang. As Selina answered, everyone in the house glued their eyes on the door.
"Grandpa, grandma, Uncle, Aunt, here we come, finally!" an enthusiastic Violet declared as she walked into the house, shopping bags in her arms. Greg followed closely behind, carrying bags too.
"Oh dear Violet. You bought far too many things! Are you moving back home?" An obviously surprised Wilson asked, as he moved forward and received the bags from Violet's hands.
As she closed the door behind them, Selina too reached over to relieve Greg of his luggage. "Give them to me, Greg," she said gently.
Nodding politely, Greg handed the bags over.
Violet dashed forward and hugged her grandma gladly. "Grandma, I've missed you so much. Did you miss me?" she asked sweetly.
"Of course, I did. I've missed you badly," Elsa replied with a wide smile on her benign face, as she patted her granddaughter's back lightly.
When she let go of Violet, Elsa rested her eyes on Greg.
"Hello, grandma!" Greg greeted, beaming a smile.
"Come here, my dear child," Elsa responded as she stretched out and embraced Greg. Although he was her grandson-in-law, she already thought of him as her own grandson.
As they hugged, Greg thought within, 'She looks like such an amiable lady.'
Proceeding on, Greg started to greet Violet's other relatives. "Hi, Grandpa," he said politely.
"Hi, Greg," Jacob nodded at him with an approving smile.
"Hello, Uncle, Aunt," Greg addressed.
"Hi," Wilson greeted back as he shook hands with Greg. "Violet is a lucky girl. She found such a fine husband like you," he remarked as he surveyed the young man from head to toe.
"Uncle, don't underestimate Greg. He is not only hot but competent and adoring as well,"
Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex. To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him. "As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses.”She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women...
n't planning to come back to China as she preferred working close to her parents, both of whom lived abroad. But...' he thought in shock and confusion.
Scrolling through the news, he read the details carefully. Besides, he browsed the comments section below the article.
One somewhat overzealous comment read,"Welcome beautiful Cassie on return. I hope she can work in XS Hospital with a good working environment and excellent talents. It's a good place for experienced and good doctors like Cassie."
There was the second one that read,"I hope beautiful Cassie can make great contributions to the development of medicine in China."
"The return of Greg - the heir of XS Hospital has greatly increased the strength of XS Hospital. If Cassie Zheng joins Greg's team, XS will become the best hospitals across the city and beyond. But if she chooses another hospital, it would raise a formidable competitor to Greg and his entire team at the XS hospital."
Choosing to ignore the random comments from mostly clueless netizens, Greg had his own questions. The most important concern was why she had returned. 'What does she want?' he wondered, deep furrows forming on his brows.
