Chapter 46: A plan

~Celine~

Watching Ethan leave made my heart ache, but there was nothing I could do about it. He had been such a good friend to me, and the best I could do was be happy for him.

While I sat in my room, feeding Kendrick, there was a knock on my door.

“Celine?” I heard a feminine voice call my name. I creased my brows and looked at the door.

“Who is it?”

“It’s me, Ashley.” She answered, making me scoff.

“What do you want?” I asked in a cold tone, carefully placing Kendrick on his bed before heading to the door.

“I just want to talk to you, Celine.” She answered, and before I said anything else, I opened the door.

“But I don’t want to talk to you,” I answered.

“I know you hate me because of what I did to your mother, but can you at least let me explain?” She asked, and I scoffed again, moving away from the door after leaving it open.
