His voice sounded particularly cold. Even the words were squeezed out from between his teeth.
My heart dropped, but I still shook off his hands off and left.
After entering the private room, Mr. Collins was already done eating and was talking to Krayden.
When he saw me coming in, Mr. Collins asked with a smile, "Where did you go for s o long? I don't think you ate enough. Theo ordered an oatmeal porridge for you and said that you like it. But it's cold now."
I looked at the bowl of oatmeal on the table, then looked at Mr. Collins, saying, "Thank you."
I took my seat and ate the oatmeal. About ten minutes later, Theo came in with Elena.
Mr. Collins said with a smile, "What happened in that short period of time you went out? You even changed your clothes and are holding hands now."
Krayden and I looked at them after hearing what he said.
Like what Mr. Collins said, the two were holding hands. Both of them had changed their clothes as well, looking much more intimate than before.
I knew why they changed their clothes, but others did not.
I thought Theo would explain it but he merely let out a faint smile.
Elena leaned on his shoulders with a coy look on her face. Silence was sweeter than words.
I cast my eyes down and continued eating the oatmeal.
This was pretty good, was it not?
I still had work to do in the afternoon, so Krayden and I returned to the test site after eating.
