Zain's POV
Zain spotted Joanna's bright smile and felt his own mouth curve upward. "Joanna, Drew and Nicholas are chilling in that VIP section. Why don't you hang with them for a while? I need to duck out."
When Joanna saw Zain getting ready to leave, she quickly objected, "Wait, Zain—Carry's been asking to see you."
Since that autumn trip, I'd barely visited Carry at all.
It wasn't about being swamped with work or holding grudges. The real issue was Blanche's decision to terminate her second pregnancy—it kept eating at me.
That's why I rarely showed up at Blissfield Villa anymore.
Oswald was staying there too, and whenever he learned about Blanche's choice, he completely lost it.
Every time I came home, Oswald would lecture me about the whole mess. I was sick of it, honestly just irritated.
So I simply avoided going back.
