Astrid’s POVWe were driving down the road. He didn’t speak a word, just kept driving smoothly on the long road.We reached our home. It was a really big house. It looked decorated from the outside.He got out of the car and I followed him. He unlocked the door and went inside, and so did I.As I entered, I saw that the house was really decorated. There were balloons and flowers used.“I expect you to remove all this crap tomorrow,” he said coldly and went to a room.Crap?This seems to be the most touching thing to gift at someone’s wedding. He really called my mother’s gift as crap?I sighed anyway and went to take water.As I made my way to the living room, I was confused. Will we sleep in the same room?
