Chapter 65: Karise’s Apology

“Karise?” Shantelle said, seeing her best

Shantelle smiled weakly and embraced her friend, saying, “We are having a picnic lunch. Why don’t you join us for dessert?”

them before Shantelle asked, “Are you?”

“Shanty, please. Let’s talk about it, okay? That’s why I came in the first place,” Karise pleaded.
