Chapter- 16Days passed one after the other. The Christmas vacations were coming nearby, everyone had a lot of work to complete their deadlines. Ashley didn’t have much work, so she helped Anne and her teammates to finish some of their work. So Ashley spends most of her time on their cabin after asking permission from Meghan. Hector doesn’t seem to notice whether she’s present or not, that’s what Ashley sees. Even when they cross path, he didn’t see her the way he sees her before and nowadays because of working with Anne, she doesn’t meet him often. All she can think was he won’t persuade her even if she says her decision because he didn’t want her the way he explains it to her or reacts to her. It went more than normal between Hector and Ashley. Either of them had thought that they shouldn’t fall on anyone’s suspicion.

She scoured her eyes and saw Dylan and Anne were holding hands and sleeping in each other’s warmth. They indeed looking good for one another and Ashley then saw Dan and Tamika were sleeping as well.

The sun rays fell on his face and he looked so handsome. Her heart raced to see those drawing pairs of blue eyes.She can’t help but fall for this guy who’s attractive in all the ways.“You look beautiful,” he complimented her.

This is your honeymoon after all,” he said. Dan looked at his wife with a smile and they both got up to cut the cake.The Merry Christmas song was played by the band and they all congratulated the couple.
