Chapter 327: Goal (1/2)

”Ehm?” Nella flinched as she felt some changes in Theo's eyes. It made her a bit uncomfortable, but she believed she had reached his heart after comforting him, so she replied with a smile. ”I just did what a family should do.”

Theo smiled back without saying anything regarding his thoughts. ”Thanks to you, I have calmed down.”

Nella muttered inwardly, 'I wonder if that's the case? I know that Theo would break apart after knowing the truth, so I have searched for a way to comfort him. But when I saw people breaking, they normally lasted longer. Maybe Theo's mental fortitude is among the best, so he can calm himself down faster?

'I don't know anymore. There is also that smile that seems to be able to comprehend me… No, it's a smile that judges me. Well, whatever. As long as he is fine, I am good.'

Since Nella didn't speak, Theo continued, ”That's right. Since you said you had researched many things about the Griffith Family, can you show me? I would like to learn about them even if I don't want to be a part of them.”

”Sure.” Nella nodded without hesitation. She took out her Skylink and opened some files she prepared earlier. ”Let's take a look at this…”

Nella began showing him everything she got. Theo even asked a few things that she never thought about.

With all those questions, she felt she could continue her research, making sure she didn't make a mistake in choosing her life choice.

They ended up using the entire night to discuss many things about the Griffith Family. Theo also understood and confirmed his decision to avoid that kind of family.

The next day.

Theo gradually opened his eyes as the sunlight blinded his eyes.

”Mhm?” Theo let out a small groan as he rose from the chair. Although he felt uncomfortable sleeping on the chair, he had gotten enough information to make him satisfied.

He looked at the bed where Nella slept and called the room service to bring him food. He took a shower and prepared himself for the interview today.

After taking another look at Nella, Theo finally left his room.

Little did he know, Nella had already woken up.

She opened her eyes and looked at the ceiling. Tears flowed out of the corner of her eyes as she muttered, ”People said indifference is the last stage of hate… When you hate people, it means you still care enough to think about them. However, I couldn't see any of it left in his eyes as if he just feels indifferent toward them.
