Secretly The Billionaire Boss

Chapter 430

Chapter 430: Missed Opportunity

"What do you think could have happened to Charles? Why did he tun out like that?" Aphrodite asked from behind, with concern in her voice.

Grey shook his head briefly.

"I have no idea.I hope nothing has happened to Aurora because he was asking when the letter came in." Aphrodite nodded briefly.

"You are right."

When Grey turned around, he was shocked for a moment, Thomas had his arm around Aphrodite's waist, as if he was trying to console her.

Console her for what? It wasn't as if something bad had happened to Charles.

Grey cleared his throat meaningfully and walked back to the dining room.It took a while before Thomas and Aphrodite would join him.

"Can we just eat? I'm tired!" Grey groaned.

Aphrodite and Thomas eventually sat, not after Thomas had pulled out the chair for her.

Grey groaned inwardly, anger building up in him.

"Can we please just eat? Because I have a place to go." Aphrodite sighed.

"The last time I checked, you are supposed to be home. It's Saturday after all."

Grey murmured some inaudible and waited.

Eventually, they started eating.

"Aphrodite, why didn't you tell me that Thomas was your ex- boyfriend?"

"Oh," Aphrodite chuckled.

"Because it has been a long time.I don't think it's something I should tell you about."

Grey nodded briefly and looked at Thomas.

"Oh, you don't know that he planned to."

"Can I have wine?" Thomas said quickly, cutting him off.

"Yes, sure," Aphrodite got up to retrieve the wine.

Thomas looked at Grey.

Please, don't say that.It's supposed to be a surprise." Grey scoffed.

"Why can't you tell her now? Is it because you are scared? I'm sure you know that Aphrodite has someone she loves." Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Thomas regarded him for a moment.

"I don't think that matters.What matters is that she's getting even closer to me and then, she knows I can take care of her," he explained with so much strength as if he was so sure of himself.

"I'm sure you know that Aphrodite has no intention of dating," Grey said suddenly, remembering what Aphrodite had said in Jacksonville.

"No, that's not right."

"Grey laughed at him mockingly.

"You can ask her when she gets back.You shouldn't let it surprise you actually," he laughed.

Aphrodite returned with a bottle of champagne.

"Here, I'm sorry for keeping you waiting," she said and poured a little of the content into Thomas's cup.

"I have something to ask you, Aphrodite," Thomas said suddenly as Aphrodite goes to her seat.

Aphrodite looked at him.

"And what can that be?"

"If there's someone that loves you, and asked you out.Would you accept? Or is it true that you have no intention of dating?"

"That's not true.I mean why won't I have no intention of dating? I will date the person if he loves me," Aphrodite replied, shocking Grey.

Thomas looked at Grey with a funny expression.

Grey knew that he was mocking him.

"But the person needs to have a nice skin color and a good height," Grey said quickly.

"Yes, like me," Thomas added.

"My skin is very nice and I'm tall." Grey scoffed.

"Not as tall as I am. I'm taller than Aphrodite. That's how it should be. Besides, my skin is very nice. In fact, it's better than yours."

Thomas's face fell.

"You guys are friends. She isn't supposed to date based on your perfection." Grey laughed.

"Oh, so you believe I'm perfect?"

"Not perfect, Grey," Aphrodite cautioned.

"No one is perfect."

Grey cleared his throat meaningfully, his expression changing as well. He didn't know if he was supposed to be happy about Aphrodite or not.

Charles increased the accelerator. His mind was clouded.

Just maybe he would still be able to meet up with Aurora.

The message that Aurora sent him was telling him that she wanted to speak to him for the last time before leaving Italy.

Charles didn't expect it.

While they were talking the night before, she didn't even mention it.

Why would she want to leave so fast? Charles didn't want her to go.

No! He wanted to see her and let her stay.

It broke his heart to see that he was late already.It was eight already and the letter had been sent since six that morning.

But Charles still wanted to try his luck.

Aurora might still be around.

She might have delayed her flight because of him.She loved him.

So, it was something she could do.

Charles' heart was beating heavily as he pulled up and raced inside the train station.He didn't even know where Aurora was going.He had no idea where she could be staying.

There was no way to look for her.

Charles felt a wall of pain rush into him.

It was his fault anyways.

He should have taken Grey's advice.He shouldn't have drunk so much.No, he should have called Aurora and informed her of his heart desire yesterday night.

But it was too late at that moment.He had lost the second chance to be loved.

With a heavy heart, he returned to his car and sobbed quietly.

He had a lot of regrets in his heart.

If only he could turn back the time, he would make a nice decision.

If only he could be given a second chance.

Then, he would make a correction.

His phone rang suddenly.

It was Aurora.

Charles picked it up immediately.

"Hello, Aurora!"

Actually, he had tried her line severally but she wouldn't pick it up.

"Where are you Aurora? I just got your letter.Tell me where you are and I will come for you."

"This isn't Aurora.This is sissy," the voice said suddenly and Charles’ felt like he had been stabbed.

"Aurora left her phone for me and she left already." Charles swallowed harder.

"Did she tell you where she was going?"

"No, she only told me she wanted to start a new life.Actually, I called you so you wouldn't call this line again.It's now mine," the voice n.ovelebook uttered and the line went off.

Alex flexed his muscles before he entered the black car in front of him.

‘Welcome back, boss," the driver greeted.

Alex's smile widened.It felt good to be out of prison. He had stayed so long in the prison that it now felt like the breeze differs.

Who would think he would come out at that moment? "We all miss you, boss."

"I didn't know that father was going to plan my escape.I thought he was going to abandon me here.No, I thought he had especially what the message he sent to me the last time," he explained.

The driver smiled.He didn't.He was just secretly looking fora way to let you out without implications.He would never abandon you."

Alex nodded once.

"I heard he succeeded and Grey is dead."

"Yes, boss.He's dead and your father is the new billionaire boss."

"Wow! So, it's now our word.It's Montego's world!" He announced happily.
