Chapter 195 The Engagement Party Tradition

• Liam’s POV
• Friday morning, I was filled with dread and trepidation. I wasn’t looking forward to this coming weekend, not even slightly. The engagement party set for Saturday night was sure to be terrible, but it’s the potential fallout with Aria that had me on edge the most.
• I hoped she could see my side of things, understand where I was coming from, and forgive me. But the longer I kept the secret, the longer time went on during which she clearly knew something was wrong, the less sure I was that she would see things my way – at least, not as quickly and easily as I had once surmised.
