Sienna quickly pushed Matheo out of her mind. Right now, Dominic’s condition was what mattered most.
She immediately called for the servants to help settle Dominic safely into a room.
Seeing that things had more or less been taken care of, Carl clearly had no interest in lingering at the Ginger family home any longer.
He lifted his eyes carelessly. To him, everyone else in the room seemed nonexistent. His cold gaze fell straight onto Sienna. “Now that everything’s done, I’m heading back.”
Sienna was momentarily stunned.
Heading back?
This was his home
—
where else would he be going?
But that flicker of emotion quickly disappeared. Sienna forced a small smile and spoke with a hint of regret. “Leaving so soon? I was hoping we could all have a meal together…”
“My time is very valuable,” Carl said, lowering his head to glance at the watch on his wrist. His voice was icy.
Sienna’s smile stiffened slightly.
The atmosphere grew heavy.
The others quietly shifted their eyes between Carl and Sienna, none of them speaking, all merely pressing their lips into thin lines.
“I understand,” Sienna said after a beat, quickly smoothing over her emotions and pulling her smile back into place. “Thank you for your help.”
Carl, cold as a walking ice sculpture, responded without a trace of warmth. “Don’t expect it again.”
Sienna was speechless.
Jean couldn’t help shaking her head.
Dear Lord, this guy’s emotional intelligence is beyond saving.
Just then-
She noticed something.
Everyone
–
Carl, Jean, Winston, and Easton – all quietly shifted their gazes toward her.
Jean blinked in confusion as she caught the family’s strange stares.
Why is everyone looking at me?! Do I have something on my face or what?
