Ashley's engagement party came and went without Christian's presence. The former was disappointed and was even more mad after failing to reach him several times.
"You don't expect him to attend happy functions like this after losing his sister and without burying her yet, right?" Her father had asked.
"But he is my friend!" Ashley had stomped her foot. "Our relationship goes deeper than this, but why it that he is treating me like a stranger or a casual friend?"
She had fumed after keeping her gaze all day at the door waiting for when Christian would arrive and he never did.
Ashley's engagement party was loud, and that meant that Christian's absence would be noticed by the media who carried the news about.
Aware of the great loss he faced, they reported the news given that excuse as the reason he failed to be present at Ashley's engagement party.
