Chapter 383: Storm waiting ahead
Gwen huffed like a child as she crossed her hand over her chest only making the two look back and forth at her and then at one another.
Ashley who hadn’t spoken a word the entire ti motioned Tristan to give them so ti to speak.
Getting her signal, he imdiately pulled out his phone from his pocket and acted as if he had a call to make swiftly walking out of her room.
Once the door was closed Ashley took in a deep breath before she looked at Gwen and asked," Do you want to have coffee?"
Her words snapped Gwen’s attention to her as she confusingly bobbed her head in agreent.

Gwen stood on her open space balcony staring at the twinkling stars in the sky when Ashley ca out carrying two coffee mugs in her hands.
"Here you go..." Passing her the right one she then turned to look in the direction she had been staring at all the ti.
"You know when I first t your brother, I didn’t even know who he was apart from the fact that we had a one-night stand" Ashley chuckled recalling how she had shoved money into his hand paying him for his service.
Gwen smiled faintly as she sip the hot coffee letting its bitter-sweet taste wet her dry tongue.
Suddenly the flavor started to feel foreign to her as she hadn’t had anything from the ti she returned ho making her scrunch her nose.
"Is it bad?" Ashley asked in concern when she noticed how her face crumpled at the taste of the coffee.
"No!.. not at all. It’s good... in fact perfect" Gwen responded with much hastily and watched her smile back.
Again a long pause engulfed the two when Ashley spoke. "You know Gwen fighting in a relationship is a sign of love too" Her words made Gwen turn her head to Ashley’s side.
"Do you see this mark" she pointed at the hickey Tristan gave her on her neck and continued," He is being punished for touching
so" Ashley stated with a fake anger.
"He surely deserves it. Sotis brother is too annoying" Gwen smiled shaking her head in disbelief.
"I know, but you know what Gwen even if he annoys
I still couldn’t stop myself from loving him," she said as that fake appearance soon dropped and a pleasant smile lingered on her face.
"You know sotis it is very hard to know what is going on in your brother’s mind. He can be too expressive sotis or too reserved the other ti. He had variously shaded which I am still learning, but there is also one thing that I love about him and that is, he is a man of his word"
"I might get pissed if he happens to ignore
or hide things from
but when I think about it, I co to think there is always a reason behind his silence. Do you think the sa about Karl?" she asked entirely turning around to face her.
"Have you ever realized why Karl must be the way he is?"
The mont she ntioned Karl’s na, Gwen found herself recalling the happy mont she spent with him and her heart suddenly swelled with pain.
"He is a kind person who never hurts anyone because he believes in humanity and kindness" she stated after much thought.
"And do you think he must have thought about any sches when he offered Linda any help?" Ashley asked once again.
"That’s the problem he doesn’t see the bad in anyone even when he knows how Linda is as a person" Gwen snarled thinking about Linda as she clutched her palms around the coffee mug.
"But that doesn’t an he has his heart softened for her. He just respects everyone around him and when Linda asked him to let her stand leaning close to his chair, he agreed"
Gwen fell silent for a mont as she recalled how clueless was Karl when Linda tried to fall over him. She can be right to guess her motives at that ti but what about the hug?
"But they hugged in her cabin. What about that? Was it still my mistake to not get hurt by it"
Ashley could see the tornt Gwen was facing thinking about whatever happened and how her relationship with Karl beca so cold.
"Did you give him a chance to speak?" Ashley asked arching her brows in questioning and watch her pursed her lips.
She was so into her head that she didn’t let him explain and directly blad him for cheating on her, though he didn’t.
Karl would never cheat on her because she knew it was only her whom he loved and cared about most.
As soon as the realization struck, she snapped her head looking at Ashley with wide eyes.
"I guess you got your answer" Ashley muttered patting her shoulder proudly.
"I am such a fool... I should go and apologize to him" she began to mumble under her breath, shaking her head at her stupidity.
"Not before you eat sothing. I heard you didn’t have your als " Tristan walked out of the balcony and stood next to his sister who pouted her lips in sorry.
"And about Karl, that man isn’t answering my calls. I think he is taking his ti to sort out his emotions. You do know how he is?" he asked saying the known and Gwen imdiately bobbed her head.
Karl had the habit of isolating himself when things get ssed up in his life. After a few hours of seclusion, he would be back to his normal self.
"I think you should give him so ti, after all, you upset him," Ashley said giving her a fake warning look before the three burst into a pit of laughter.
Gwen was feeling much better and she couldn’t wait for the next day to arrive as she decided to surprise Karl in the early morning. She just wanted to smother him with kisses and apologize to him for whatever she said in her anger and jealousy.
But little did she know a huge storm was waiting ahead of her...
