Chapter 73

• “Astra, I am coming to town for Sarah and Jared’s engagement dinner party, but I will go straight to the Nicholas’ house. I hope you will be there,” Yvonne said over the phone. Yvonne had moved back home after Astra made peace with her parents. She was hardly ever alone as either Charise or her mother or even her father were around to keep her company and help her out. Astra was already five months along, and she had not seen Nicholas in a while. He had been getting either Sarah or one of his guards to take Brian for the weekend. Astra had been avoiding him, and going for the engagement dinner in his house will only spoil her plans.
• “I am not going. Why do they even have to do their engagement dinner in Nicholas’ house?” Astra asked. It made no sense. It was not like Nicholas was the one getting engaged or anything. Since it was in his house, there was no way Astra could avoid it.
• “It is their choice, and from what I heard, Nicholas volunteered his place, he is the one throwing them the party. It is a gift for his cousin it seems. And Astra, you cannot run away from Nicholas forever. From what I am seeing, he is giving you space now, when he is ready, you won’t even have the chance to refuse him. You are carrying his child Astra, sooner or later you both will have to talk,” Yvonne said and Astra sighed. Stephanie had told her about Sarah’s and Jared’s engagement party, and she had been surprised then. She did not even know they were dating before, she was very happy for the both of them though, they deserved happiness. Astra had not been fair to Jared. She did not love him, he needed someone that would love him, and someone was Sarah. Astra was glad that he found her.
