Sierra frowned, a flicker of irritation flashing in her eyes. "Who I see or don't see has nothing to do with you."
"Are you admitting to being with Uncle Theo?" Benson narrowed his eyes, his expression turning even darker. "Were you in his car just now?"
"I have no idea what you're talking about."
She turned to walk away, but he grabbed her wrist again.
"What do you want, Benson?" she snapped, her eyes burning with frustration.
He locked his gaze on her. "Since when did you and Uncle Theo get so close? How did I not know you two were together?
His tone carried suspicion, laced with displeasure.
Sierra forced herself to suppress the irritation rising within her, her face cold and unyielding as she spoke. "Grandpa Edward asked Uncle Theo to look after me more. If you don't believe it, ask Grandpa Edward yourself. Are you satisfied?"
Benson pressed his lips tightly together, his gaze growing serious.
If it had really been Edward who asked Theo to look after Sierra, it would make sense. After all, Edward had always liked her and treated her like his own granddaughter.
Theo, on the other hand, was someone detached when it came to family. The only person he cared about the most was Edward. To him, even his own dad or Benson were like strangers.
So, it was impossible that Theo would have the hots for Sierra. He barely had any emotional attachments, apart from their grandfather.
This had to be just him fulfilling Edward's wish to look out for her.
