The thought of living with Theo sent a wave of unease through Sierra.
But under his steady, composed gaze, she had no choice but to suppress her discomfort and step inside.
"Just pack the essentials. We can buy anything else later," Theo instructed, his gaze sweeping across her room as he stood beside the bed.
Sierra reached for the scattered books on her desk, but before she could gather them, Theo took them from her hands.
"I'll handle this. You focus on the rest," he mentioned, sorting the books before placing them neatly into her pink backpack.
Seeing him with the pastel-colored bag left an amused smile tugging at Sierra's lips.
Once she finished packing her clothes and toiletries, Theo lifted the suitcase with one hand and slung the backpack over his other arm.
"Let's go."
Outside, Adrian stood waiting beside the car. The moment he caught sight of Theo carrying a pink backpack, a smirk crept onto his face.
So, the rumors turned out to be true—even someone as aloof as Theo could change when in love.
In the past, Theo would've never let anything pink touch him. Yet, here he was, holding the bag without a second thought.
Amused, Adrian stepped forward and took the suitcase from him.
With their luggage loaded, Sierra absentmindedly climbed into the passenger seat, still trying to process everything.
Noticing her slightly dazed expression, Theo rubbed his thumb and index finger together, the faint curve of his lips betraying his amusement.
It wasn't until they arrived at Southridge Heights that Sierra finally snapped back to reality. She watched as Adrian swiftly unloaded their luggage before driving off.
"Is Adrian always this busy?" she asked, clearly confused.
Theo didn't argue. "Yes. He has to review all the company documents before they come to me."
Sierra nodded thoughtfully. Remembering how exhausting it had been helping Benson with his work, she sighed. "That sounds overwhelming."
As they entered the villa, Theo led Sierra straight to the second floor.
