Chapter 103: Choose
Once Soren was finally gone, Riven let out a shaky breath and sank back into the water, feeling his heart pound like a drum. Taking a deep breath, he sank into the water again.
Riven wrapped a towel around his waist as he stepped out of the bathroom, feeling more refreshed after the bath. His ears twitched slightly when he caught the sound of muffled voices outside the room. He didn’t even need to guess who it was. This had to be sorted out as soon as possible.
He quickly got dressed, he missed a few buttons in a rush to get out.
Taking a deep breath, he opened the door and walked out, only to be greeted by the sight of both Soren and Ronan standing there like guards on duty. Ronan’s face lit up instantly when he saw him, a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth, while Soren leaned against the wall with his arms folded, a smug expression on his face.
"You’re finally out," Soren said, his voice oozing with a teasing tone. "What took you so long? Did I tire you out in the bathroom?"
Ronan let out a low, almost inaudible growl, his fists clenching at his sides. Riven shot Soren a sharp look, giving him a silent warning to cut it out. Soren just smirked, thoroughly enjoying Ronan’s discomfort.
Choosing not to get caught up in their pettiness, Riven walked past them and took a seat at the small round table in the room. He was slightly closer to Ronan. And Ronan took the opportunity to scoot closer and correct the buttons Riven mismatched in a hurry.
Riven was surprised but stayed still as he did that. He did not look at Soren’s face because he was well aware that Soren hated it.
The air was tense, and it was obvious the two had been bickering while he was gone. When he glanced back, both men were now focused entirely on him, and he knew exactly what this was about.
