After pondering internally for another five minutes, Christopher remembered how his elder sister had acted towards his fake wife to be.

On getting closer to the table twenty four, she saw the reason why her name had been stated specifically.“Good morning, Mrs Crawford! Hi Ava.” Raven greeted both of them with a tight lipped smile.This was the point Raven realized why most people would say; they wished the ground would open and swallow them. She was in such a tight situation right now and disappearing into the thin air sounds really laudable at the moment.Raven’s mind raced at the sight of Christopher’s mom and his younger sister sitting with so much composure at the restaurant she worked at and also calling her out.Her heartbeat accelerated about a four hundred meters and taking two beats at a time as she also tried to think of the reason they had showed up at her workplace.
