79-Never To Let Me Return

Ashley Walters pov

It had been three days since that tiny nonexistent baby bump news was revealed to me. As if I was

Sarah’s best buddy.

Since then, I had been watching lots of movies leaving all of them only halfway. I had also been shedding tears nonstop. Romantic movies reminded me of Justin. Action movies reminded me of him even more.

“Ashley! Why don’t you tell us what’s going on?” Eve and Aniya came inside my room. Eve as usual started picking the wrappers and empty tubs of ice cream from the floor.

“We thought you are upset because you are regretting that Rayan got the highest bidding and Justin did not even bat an eye in your direction. But there is something else that has been eating you inside, Ash.”

I had told them about my short encounter with Justin, leaving the mouth–wiping details.

Instead of answering Aniya, I dipped a few nacho pieces in the sour cream and placed them in my mouth which was already full.

Without chewing my food, I scooped a spoonful of ice cream and tried to push it past my lips.

“Give me that!” Eve snatched the spoon and ice cream bowl from my hand.

“Evelyne! Give me that. I am just chilling here.” I whined but Evelyne not only took that out of the room but also picked the nacho plate from the bed.

“Hey! I am hungry!” But Evelyne shook her head and plopped beside me, “You people should give me a little space.”

“Ah!” Aniya practically sat on my lap, “that’s what we have been giving you for the past three days. Now you can’t expect us to give you any more space, sweet.”

I tried pushing her away, but she threw her arms around my neck and hugged me.

“Aniya. Can you leave her? I need to talk to her.” Evelyne tried shoving Aniya away from my lap, but Aniya could become a baby when she wanted to.
