Chapter 638 So We Meet Again (Part Three)
Violet didn''t reply, feeling a strange sadness in her heart. Was Greg still the same man she knew?
"Or... is it because Roger doesn''t buy you new clothes?" Greg wondered out loud.
Violet sucked in a breath. "Greg, if you don''t have anything else to say, I want to leave." She pushed
him, not wanting to meet his eyes.
"Violet, don''t you think you owe me an exnation?" Greg asked her in anger. ''She wants to leave?
Ha! She''s finally here in front of me. I didn''t even need to try and look for her; she came to me all by
herself. Does she think I''d let her go just like that?'' he snorted.
Violet knew him very well. When Greg wanted to know something, he didn''t stop until he got his
answer.
Violet huffed. She decided to give him a reply. Avoiding him wouldn''t resolve anything.
She looked at him from beneath hershes, ready to give him her answer. Her determination to do so
didn''t stop a lone tear from falling down.
Greg saw her red eyes and felt heartbroken. ''What is wrong? Is she crying because of me? And why
do I feel her pain?'' he frowned at his own thoughts.
"Greg Xiao, you want an exnation, right? Fine, I will tell you the truth," Violet said resolutely. "I work
at GR Group. Roger is thepany''s vice president and he got in a car ident because of me. I
should have donated blood for him, because I owe him that much, all right? I need to make sure he''s
okay. I hope he can be saved. That''s all."

Greg listened to her words and watched her tears fall. He felt ashamed. Violet wasn''t in a rtionship
with Roger. He had got it all wrong.
But Violet didn''t stop. "You wanted answers, right? You want to know why my clothes are so dirty and
old? Do you know why I distribute leaflets on the streets every day?" She continued, ring at Greg
fiercely. She revealed the truth to him. "It''s because I don''t attract attention when I live this way. Only
this way others don''t see my scars. I don''t wear skirts in the summer. I don''t go to parties held by rich
girls. I''m only happy when I''m in these ordinary clothes, when other people don''t stop to take a second
look at me. This is the only way they don''t mention the scars on my body. Do you understand now,
Greg? Do you understand?!"
Violet almost yelled out thest few words. She had been sad for so long, but she never revealed it to
her family. She didn''t want them to worry. She couldn''t say anything to her friends either. Only with
Greg could she speak her heart out. He knew what had happened to her when she was a little girl.
Greg watched her eyes well up with more tears, even as the old ones continued to fall. He couldn''t find
the right words to say to her and felt a sudden pressure in his chest. He loved her and cared about her.
After they broke up, he thought she still lived happily every day. As happy as he had been when he first
held her hand many years ago. He didn''t know that she was suffering all alone. Her scars still bothered
her. Thosesting scars had left a shadow on her happiness.
Violet looked away, unable to meet Greg''s eyes.
She continued,"Alice has been in France for so many years. I too want to go abroad and get a better
education. But I''m terrified. Terrified that if I return with aplishments, there will be far more people
talking about me behind my back. What if I''m at a gathering wearing a dress? I don''t want to be looked
at with their mocking eyes. Do you understand me, Greg? I''m strong, but I can''t bear their scorn. I can''t
take it."
Greg remained silent. He pulled Violet by the waist, holding her in his arms. The only thing he could do
at the moment was to give her some warmth. He didn''t want to say something and re-open her
wounds. Because of him, she already revealed what she had been hiding for a long time. He made her
cry. He didn''t want to make it worse by ident.
After some time, Violet stopped crying. She pushed Greg away and forced a smile. "You know
everything now. So can I leave?" she asked him.
She didn''t want to be here any longer.
But before she could take another step forward, Greg took hold of her arm again. He still had another
question to ask her.
"I just have onest question for you. Why did you break up with me?" He asked her gently, doing his
best to avoid hurting her again.
"Because I didn''t love you," Violet announced firmly without hesitation.
Greg shook his head, seeing right through her. "That''s not the real reason," he replied. She didn''t break
up with him because she didn''t love him. They were very much in love when they were together, before
she suddenly demanded a break-up. For five years, Greg couldn''t figure out why she left. Contrary to
what she just said, he was certain she didn''t leave him because she didn''t love him or because she felt
bad about herself.
"Tell me the real reason," Greg pressed. He needed to know the truth. She owed him the truth. He
could only move on after he knew the real reason.
Violet knew he was determined. Even if she stuck to her lie, he would not believe her.
"Greg, we broke up five years ago. The reason is not important," she tried to convince him. "It''s better if
you don''t know it. I hope you can move on and live happily."
Greg moved to stand in front of her, blocking her path. "Violet, I won''t be happy unless you tell me the
reason."
"You''ll feel worse after you know why!" she yelled in frustration. Calming herself down, she continued
lightly,"Roger is still in the emergency room. I should leave now."
Violet left before he could stop her.
