Theo sat still, his gaze unwavering, watching both Kimberly and Lucian as they grew restless.
Their impatience was evident, but he remained quiet, his expression unreadable.
The weight of the moment pressed down on them, the air thick with unspoken questions.
Kimberly was the first to break the silence.
"Theo, what do you mean with your statement?" she asked, her voice carrying a mix of curiosity and caution.
She knew Theo never spoke without purpose. If he had said something as serious as saving Lucian's life, then it meant there was far more to the situation than they understood.
Theo finally shifted his posture, his eyes still locked onto Lucian. "Lucian, come have a seat here," he said, gesturing to the empty spot beside him.
Lucian hesitated for a brief moment before stepping forward.
His movements were slow, reluctant, but he eventually sat down. His displeasure was clear, anger, confusion, and disappointment all simmering within him.
