Chapter 531

Spinning on their heels, they were met with a sight that tugged at their heartstrings.

“Nydia? My gosh, it’s you

Evadne’s eyes lit up with joy as she released the man’s hand and hurried over to her sister, who stood forlornly by the roadside. She wrapped Nydia in a warm embrace that spoke volumes of their bond.

“How long have you been waiting? Why didn’t you come in? Alva’s inside. She knows you and would’ve let you in. Why stand out

“Sorry for just showing up, Evadne, didn’t mean to interrupt you and your hubby Nydia’s voice trembled, always so tender, it was almost heartbreaking.

“What wedding gifts. Evadne, you’re teasing me again,” Nydia blushed, her shy demeanor delicate as an untouched gem.

“No joke, I’m dead serious. You and Jason will have to set a date sooner or later Marriage is a quick affair once it’s on track. It’s best to be prepared early.”
