Chapter 235 We Can't Owe Others Favors
"Great," Grace said, offering him a tissue to dab away the perspiration dotting his forehead. She paused, then ventured, "What are your thoughts on Violet?""Violet?" Brady's gaze shifted from his bowl to Grace, his curiosity piqued.Grace nodded, her expression filled with hopeful anticipation. "Have you ever considered getting to know her better?""Do you like her, Grandma?" Brady's smile was small, his words sparse whenever Violet was the topic of conversation.Grace indeed held a fondness for Violet. Despite her humble origins, Violet's background did nothing to deter Grace's affection. "She's beautiful, gentle, and sweet. Truly a delightful young woman."'Gentle and sweet?' Brady mused, fighting back a chuckle. In his mind, Violet was more akin to a fiery wildcat, always poised to strike with her metaphorical claws. Perhaps she might mellow in the future, but for now, she was anything but gentle."Would you consider giving it a shot?" Grace asked, her gaze steady on Brady. When he didn't respond, she cautiously suggested he take the initiative with Violet.Brady's smile widened. "Since you're so fond of her, Grandma, perhaps I should give it a try."Grace breathed a sigh of relief. "You should explore the dating scene.""I intend to," he assured her. His interest in dating wasn't necessarily marriage-driven; he simply wanted to experience a relationship.Meanwhile, at Violet's apartment, she had taken the morning off to prepare for her impending move. She felt a twinge of guilt over the lavish villa Emily had secured for her, but the move was necessary. If she stayed put, Brady would continue to intrude on her daily life.Her greatest fear was that he would one day take Henry and Nicole away from her - a thought she couldn't bear. Now that she had found a new home, she was eager to relocate without delay.Violet rose early, beginning the process of packing her belongings. Hellen, hearing the commotion, assumed Violet was preparing for a business trip and came over to help. "Violet, why are you packing so early? Are you going on a business trip?"
Violet shook her head and said, "No, Hellen, I'm not going on a business trip. I forgot to mention, we're moving today."Hellen was taken aback. "That's sudden. Did you find a place?""I did," Violet confirmed, stuffing winter clothes into a suitcase. "The house Emily rented for me is incredible. I feel guilty accepting it.""Where is it? Is it expensive?" Hellen asked, her curiosity piqued. She knew that Emily's family was wealthy.
"It's a villa in Ashbourne Manor," Violet admitted, a hint of embarrassment creeping into her voice. "She didn't ask for any money. She said she'd move in with us once we're settled."Hellen was taken aback. "Living in a villa? Is that alright? Emily is incredibly generous.""I felt it was inappropriate too. I tried to decline, but she wouldn't hear of it," Violet explained, a smile playing on her lips. "I'll repay her in the future when I'm financially able.""That's wise. We shouldn't owe others too much," Hellen agreed, not wanting to be indebted to someone to such an extent."Understood," Violet said. "Hellen, you should start packing too. I'm not working this morning. Let's pack the essentials and decide whether to sell or discard the rest.""Alright, I'll do that," Hellen agreed, rising to start packing her own belongings.Violet continued to pack in the bedroom, the two children sleeping soundly amidst the chaos.After a while, Max called. With JK's reputation restored, past grievances were put aside. He planned to host a dinner for the department's designers, and Violet was naturally invited.Violet had no objections. Most of the designers had changed their views on her, and she was eager to share a meal with everyone in her final week before resigning.
