Eryx's expression darkened instantly as horrible thoughts crossed his mind. That is the only thing he could call it.
If Alaric had somehow gotten involved with his sister while he was away…
Eryx's eyes narrowed dangerously. He would kill him without hesitation.
Laila, completely oblivious to the murderous thoughts forming in her brother's head, smiled nervously. "Well… maybe not officially tell you all."
Mrs Argentis suddenly looked interested. "You have someone you like?"
Laila nodded once.
Mr Argentis looked relieved immediately. "Good. At least one of you has sense."
"I promise you she does not," Eryx muttered darkly.
Laila shot him an offended look. "Excuse you?"
But Theodore was still watching her carefully now.
"…Who is it?" he asked.
Laila immediately avoided eye contact. Which only made Eryx more suspicious.
Seraphina gasped softly. "Oh my goddess… it's serious."
"It is not serious," Laila defended quickly.
"That means it's serious," Azrael muttered.
