Chapter 161 Anna

• Charles glanced at Gina at intervals as they drove back to his apartment. She had been quiet the whole time and was staring out the window... she turned to look at Charles and smiled at him assuringly when she felt his gaze on her. they arrived at his apartment and he tucked Gina in... "Do you want to talk about it?" He asked as they both lay in bed, and she shook her head. She didn't want to talk about her father anymore and just wanted to go to sleep. Charles nodded and she snuggled closer to him as she fell asleep...
• The days went by quickly and a week passed since the events at her father's house. Charles and Gina picked out a date for their wedding and continued with the preparations, and soon they got their wedding invitation cards ready... "Wow, I love them so much" Gina said excitedly as she stared at the wedding invitations. Charles had not asked her anything about her father so she wouldn't get upset and Gina hadn't said a word about him too. It made him wonder if she still wanted her father at their wedding. "Yes, they are,", he said, and she smiled warmly at him...
• "Gina", he called her name softly, and the smile on her face immediately dwindled like she knew what he was going to ask her. "if you are going to ask me about my father, then don't. I don't want him at our wedding." Gina said firmly... she stood up and left to go prepare for work while Charles sat there in silence thinking or what he could do about the matter... for the days that had passed, he could tell that she was trying her best to be happy even though sometimes at night he could hear her cry silently... she wasn't okay and he wished she would just talk to him about it...
