Chapter 185

Gwendolyn sneaked a peek at the ringing phone. It was a call from Nathan.

Howard picked up with a cool detachment in his voice. “What’s up?”

“Come on, man, we’re throwing a party!”

The background noise on Nathan’s end was a cacophony of chatter and music, seeping through the phone line.

“Not tonight, I’m booked.” Howard was quick with his rejection.

Gwendolyn gave him a curious glance, knowing full well that Nathan was his old college buddy.

He was genuinely hoping Howard would reconnect with his old life.

Nathan pressed on, “You planning on keeping Gwendolyn under wraps forever? We all know you’re hitched, and that your wife’s been mentored by that famous doctor. Time to show her off, right?”

His point hit home.
