As you dropped onto the sofa in the living room right in front of where Aegan was seated, you couldn't help but laugh a bit mockingly. Seeing him still awake, pensive, and silent meant that his mind was either in chaos or he was plotting something.

He rolled his eyes when he turned his head and saw you in front of him. His eyes meticulously followed each of your movements as if he were analyzing or studying you. Or perhaps because he knew you well enough to anticipate that you would say something to annoy his damn existence.

Are you still wondering why Jude chooses Adrick over you? Your eyes sparkled with amusement, and a mocking smile escaped from your lips once again.

Although you knew the Cash family from a young age, your relationship with Aegan was always complicated. It seemed like they would be enemies for life, as if they had to watch each other's backs to avoid surprise attacks from the other.

Still upset because he didn't pay attention to you? he countered, catching you off guard with his question. This time, it was him who smirked maliciously.
