Chapter 121: Silver Wolf

Astrid’s POV

“Stop blaming yourself for it,” Nova suddenly spoke beside me, breaking me from my thoughts. “It wasn’t your fault. She was the one who approached us and said those mean things first. She was clearly asking for a fight.” I turned my gaze back to the view outside the window when I finally realized what she was talking about.

“I’m sure she did it on purpose. She deliberately provoked you to make you lose control. It was obvious that she was trying to make you look like a bad person in front of your father. In the end, her plan backfired,” Nova continued talking. I sighed and lowered my gaze to my fingers. “It’s normal for her to feel that I’m a threat, Nova. As someone who grew up without a father, I will never know how it feels like to grow up with one.

Asha had experienced that, and now she’s feeling that her father is slowly slipping away because of me. It’s normal for her to do such things. I only wish that her fear won’t become true.”

Nova momentarily stopped what she was doing as she faced me. “What a kind and understanding sister you are,” she mocked me, making me smile.

“I wondered what she’s doing right now. Asha is used to always burying herself in her work. She must be dying of boredom right now,” I muttered with genuine concern. “Should we pay her a visit?”
