Chapter 505: A product of prejudice

After chatting with the four women, Lara realised that her idea of high society was just a product of her mother's prejudices. They weren't snobs; they wouldn't judge every her mistake - not more than any other person. And they were fun to talk with.

She had forgotten how nice it was to have friends. To chat about light things, unrelated to surviving. Her old-time friends had forgotten about her when the news of her pregnancy had spread in Sheton.

She hadn't gone out with friends for a coffee in so long that she would feel awkward doing it. Yet, talking with those women made her nostalgic.

She almost felt guilty for thinking they were too close to Nate. Almost.

At least, they were after her and not him. That thought made them tolerable enough to start a conversation, and she had started liking them when they started to understand each other better.
