89 LATE NIGHT VISIT

ARIEL’S POV

I turned around, only to see Luke and Mariam making their way through the gate. I couldn’t help but laugh at the sight, as Luke was practically dragging Mariam along behind him.

They had chosen the worst possible time to interrupt my conversation with Elizabeth. I was just about to spill all the juicy details about my time with Luke, per Elizabeth’s request. Looks like she’ll have to wait a bit longer for the full story.

“Let go of me!” Mariam broke Luke’s grip. “I’m no little kid.”

“I never said you were,” Luke retorted, and threw some clothes at her. Which I knew for a fact, belonged to the grumpy lady.

“You idiot!” Mariam barked.

“You didn’t bring your car along with you?” Luke asked her, raising an eyebrow.

“No, I didn’t,” she answered angrily, her usual tone.

“What’s going on here?” Elizabeth entered their conversation:

“It’s none of your business,” Mariam replied coldly.

“Trust me, you do not want to stick your nose in that,” I whispered into

Elizabeth’s ears.

“And who the hell are you anyway?” Mariam asked Elizabeth, but she decided to keep silent. At least she was a good listener.

“Aunt Mariam. I’m sending someone to drop you home,” Luke spoke.

“I don’t need your help.” Mariam gave him a hard glare, before walking away.

I was just staring at her, quite amazed, surprised, I don’t know. Like, she wasn’t putting on anything. Her body was only covered in sheets.

Although the day was dark, was she really going to walk like that? I never knew this woman was really crazy. She was probably going to find herself a corner to get dressed.

Elizabeth turned to Luke. “So, Luke Reynold. It’s actually nice meeting you. I’m sorry for not recognizing you earlier.”

“You don’t have to mention it again. it’s okay though,” Luke said, barely inaudible.
