Chapter 710 News About Her (Part Two)
"Go ahead!" Eagerly, Greg urged expecting something.
"But I''m starving now. We haven''t had dinner yet," Violet continued, touching her empty stomach.
"Is that so?" Greg asked. Feeling hungry too, he advised,"Would you like to go out? Or...."
Before he could finish his sentence, Violet interrupted. "How about we cook for ourselves?" she
proposed cheerfully.
"But we don''t have enough food stuffs in the house yet," Greg replied.
"Don''t mind dear. Just use what we got now. Go make something," Violet saidmandingly.
"Me? Are you sure? I don''t know how to cook," Greg replied, with an innocent look. ''I''ve never cooked
before. I don''t even know how to make noodles, '' he thought.
"But I''m starving, honey," Violet said coquettishly. ''If preparing me a meal for me is such a big issue to
him, then why should I even count on his many promises to take care of me?'' she wondered, feeling a
little disappointed.
Overpowered by her pleasant pleading, Greg raisedplied. "Okay, I will make it now. But don''t
At once, he rose from his seat and walked into the kitchen. Staring at his back, Violet regretted
immediately. ''I don''t think he is a good cook. Will I really enjoy whatever he''s going to make?'' she
wondered.
To save herself the disappointment, Violet got up and followed him into the kitchen.
"Let me help you, honey," she offered as she began clearing utensils from the table.
Even though he was aware his wife would only make things worse, Greg had no intention of driving her
out of the kitchen. With Violet around, he thought himself less lonely. All he wished was that she
wouldn''t burn the kitchen down.
The two clueless cooks panicked and fumbled about.
"Honey, help me with this. I don''t know what to do," Violet asked.
"Sweetheart, I''m busy now. You pay attention to the water in the pot. Reduce heat," Greg replied. ''I
messed up everything. How can I help her?'' he thought.
"Oh my god, I should have added less salt," Violet screeched. "What should I do now, honey?" she
inquired, sounding dubious.
"Put some vinegar, please. Be careful not to overdo," Greg directed.
After a while, she cried,"Jeez! I just messed on that. I don''t know what to do next, dear."
"Come here and leave it to me," Greg replied.
"Okay, wait a minute. I need to wash my hands," she eded without hesitation. .
"Just forget about your hands. Come here now," Greg requested.
An hourter, the couple stood aside, staring at the messy kitchen silently.
"How about we order some take-out food, Greg?" Violet broke the silence. She was more hungry now.
"Okay. It seems we don''t have a choice," Greg replied.
Pulling out his phone, Greg wiped his brow and made a call to order some food.
When their delivery arrived, Violet eximed gleefully, as they sat at the table,"Wow! Darling, isn''t this
yummy?"
"From tomorrow on, I will learn how to cook. In this way, I can prepare your meals every day," Greg
dered. ''I''m dying to know how she''ll feel when she eats the food cooked by me, '' he thought.
"Really? Now I think I am the happiest woman," Violet grinned, as she looked up at Greg. It gave her
untold joy to hear such sweet words from her husband, even though she knew it wouldn''t be easy for
him to learn the ropes of culinary art.
Greg reached out for a towel, stretched his hand and lovingly wiped Violet at the corner of her mouth.
"Didn''t you say you were starving? Eat some more!" he said.
"I will," Violet answered.
The next morning Violet and Greg bought lots of gifts beforeing to Wilson''s house.
Elsa fidgeted in her seat, waiting for the arrival of the new couple anxiously.
Selina and Wilson were watching TV on the lounge. The former caught a glimpse of Elsa to find her
antsy. "Be patient, Mom. Violet and Greg will be here soon," Selina said to Elsa.
"From the time Violet called to tell me they were on the way, an hour has passed. They should have
arrived. What''s going on?" Elsa asked with a worried look, raising her eyes to check time by the wall
clock. "Besides, it''s Greg''s first visit. We should go out and greet them at the gate," she continued.
Upon hearing this, Selina responded,"We''d better not, Mom. Violet urged me to keep you indoors,
saying there''s no point meeting them at the gate. If we went out to greet them, she might feel her
Laughing softly, Jacob grabbed Elsa by the hand. "Come on, honey, let''s wait inside. Violet is afraid
that you may catch a cold if you wait outside. Don''t worry. We''ll see them soon," he assured his wife.
"Oh, you know that Violet is a sweet child. Perhaps she is selecting presents for you," Wilson chimed
in. ''I know Violet. She is dutiful. Most likely, that''s why she''s gettingte, '' he continued thinking within.
"She shouldn''t bother herself with such trivial formalities. If she wants to go shopping, I can keep her

How about you move in with her?" Selina joked, smiling.
"I do have this n," Elsa blurted out,"All along, Violet has been azy worm who cocoons herself to
bed in the morning. She doesn''t even have the slightest idea of sorting out her clothes and neglects her
own appearance. I think those are enough reasons she might need around for a helping hand."
"It''s not your turn to look after her now," Jacob broke in with a bright smile. ''It''s hard to ept the fact
that my dear granddaughter is married off. But it''s afort that she has Greg- a fine young man for a
husband. I''m sure he will take good care of her, '' he pondered.
"Dad''s right. Don''t forget that Violet has Greg. He cares for her very much," Wilson continued.
"You''re right. I should let the newlyweds enjoy their new life," Elsa said pensively. "That''s enough as
long as Greg treats Violet well."
"Mum, don''t worry about Violet. Greg is raised up well. He''s the perfect gentleman who will do his best
to cherish and protect his wife," Selina added.
