Hans drove her back to the villa. Throughout the trip, there was no conversation between them. Hans glanced back several times to check on her because it was unusual to see Violette so quiet.
"Are you still in pain?"
"No," Violette replied indifferently.
"Then why are you so quiet?"
"Ah, I'm just thinking, it's been so long since I've been home to my family," Violette replied.
Hans' expression softened.
"If you want to see your family, I'll arrange for you to visit them. I'll accompany you."
"You don't need to accompany me. I can go alone."
"How could I let you go alone? I'm going with you."
Violette looked at him indifferently, knowing it was just a false promise from Hans.
"I'm worried you'll leave Irene and Damien alone. You can't bear to leave them even for a day."
Hans's face stiffened.
"Don't talk nonsense. I'll book a ticket to France tomorrow and accompany you. It's been a long time since I visited the Renault family. I miss the Renault family's vineyard." Hans smiled slightly as he looked at her. "Remember the first time we met? You were hiding from language class and secretly eating grapes in the garden. You were so cute then."
