Theo seemed to have remembered something and his gaze fell on Zedd’s face. He said, "I heard that you went to see him."
Zedd nodded. “Last weekend. I brought some fruits and supplements with me.”
I did not know who they were referring to. Even though I was curious, this was clearly not the time to ask.
Cindy, who had remained silent the whole time, looked at Theo at this moment. There was a misty look in her eyes. "Theowy, I plan to sell the house that my parents left me before they died and move to Whaldorf City."
Theo was lukewarm about it and merely said indifferently, "You'll make the decision yourself. If you need any help, then go to Zedd. He’ll help you.”
His words stopped everything else that Cindy was going to say next.
She lowered her head and fell silent, looking a little sad.
Mason suddenly chuckled, and it sounded a little sarcastic.
Zedd sensed the increasingly awkward atmosphere and tried to mediate by saying with a smile, "I know you’ve been quite busy lately, Theo, so I'll take care of Cindy. Don't worry.”
Theo pursed his lips and did not reply, making the atmosphere even more awkward.
However, no one was willing to say anything to break the silence this time. Eating in this environment made the food taste particularly insipid.
I got up and said, "I need to use the washroom."
