Chapter 43

Diamond’s POV

I stared at the text with mixed feelings.

I didn’t know what to make of it. The text was a reiteration of what Karl had told me a week ago. My mother was inviting me to dinner at their place. Karl and I still hadn’t made a decision.

But then, it was easier because there was no pressure. Now Karl is gone and my mother made her request over a text which I had already opened.

Clearly I couldn’t ignore her.

I read her text over and over again.

She had added a cute heart emoji and (hopefully it wasn’t just all in my head) she sounded genuine, like she actually cared and wanted to rebuild our relationship.

I didn’t know how I was able to get all that from the text but that was the feeling I had as I kept on reading it.

I was tempted to accept her request, besides it could even happen before Karl got back. I couldn’t shut my mother out or any member of my family at that. After all we were blood and it does say that blood is thicker than water.
