Chapter 255

-Ava’s POV-

“Three days isn’t enough to get married.”

That’s what I wanted to say. That’s what any sane person would say. But this was Isabella. And arguing with Isabella was like arguing with the wind–useless and exhausting.

So instead, I just smiled, “I’m not going to get a moment to breathe until then, am I?”

Her grin was pure sunshine, her eyes sparkling with so much joy it was almost blinding, “I’ll take the fact that you’re carrying my niece and nephew into consideration.”

I blinked, “How do you-”

But before I could finish, a familiar exasperated sound came from behind me. Grayson.

I had almost forgotten he was there. Almost.

I turned, finding him still glaring at Isabella as if she were a particularly annoying insect that refused to go away. But when his gaze met mine, the ice melted. His expression softened, and something unspoken passed between us, “I need to take care of some things.”

I nodded, and he leaned in, pressing a kiss to my lips before turning to leave.

But Isabella, being Isabella, wasn’t done, “Hey! Are you not going to tell me congratulations?”

Grayson stopped mid–step and exhaled through his nose, casting me an almost tired look. I bit back a laugh.

Isabella frowned,” I don’t like the

you said it.”

Grayson ignored her and kept walking.

But then- “Grayson.”

Her voice was softer this time. Not teasing. Not demanding, “I’m glad you are somehow by some insane miracle actually alive.”

The guard that I had felt kick up when he walked away softened a bit and his gaze fell to the ring on her finger. Something flickered across his face–maybe the briefest moment of nostalgia, or maybe just the weight of everything we had been through.

Then, finally, e said, “Congratulations.”

And then he was gone.

Isabella let out an exasperated breath and turned to me, “You see? There was no tone to that one.”

I laughed, taking her hand in mine and pulling it closer. The ring was huge–ridiculously so.

“It’s huge.”

grinned, “I know.”
