Chapter 145

At the end of the night, Kage surprisingly gave Astrid a ride home. It came as a shock to her when he’d passed the offer and even if she had been drunk, she wouldn’t have said No.

As they headed to the car, Cindy angrily approached them. But she didn’t even get close enough to Kage to ask her questions as Raphael got in her way and handled her questions. Astrid couldn’t help but smile. It felt so unreal.

For the first time, she wished the drive to her home was longer just so she could spend more time with Kage in the car, despite the fact that he hardly spoke to her.

Eventually, they reached the gates of the mansion, and she thanked him greatly.

“We should have dinner some time,” Kage said, although the words came out forced than intentional.

Astrid hardly noticed as her cheeks reddened all over. “Um… Sure, I’d love that.”

They exchanged a few more words before she left the car and hurried into the house.

Her heart felt like it might burst from all the emotions she felt. Kage Hawkins asked her to dinner! Just when she thought the night was going to be the worst for her.
