The family members gathered for dinner at the dining table. Taking their respective seats, the food was then served.
Everyone was busy talking and laughing except for one person who had his eyes looking at a particular woman who didn't even spare a glance at him.
Tristan was dying for one look from Ashley but she treated him like he wasn't present and kept chatting with others.
Sighing at his helplessness, Tristan silently had his food while he kept listening to everyone.
Once they were done having dinner, he excused himself to his study. While the rest headed back to their respective room.
Sitting on his chair, Tristan mindlessly kept turning the pages of the file resting in front of him while his thoughts were busy thinking about Ashley and her silent treatment.
Though he promised himself to give her the space, he couldn't find himself stopping thinking about her.
