Chapter 203: Micah, Asena, and the Curious Trio
Then the three of them stared at Clyde with burning curiosity. Their eyes were wide and focused, like kids waiting to hear the ending of a secret story. None of them said a word, but their pointed looks said everything. They were dying to know the truth, and clearly annoyed he had kept it from them.
Clyde’s lips twitched but he didn’t clarify anything. He just turned on his heel and headed straight to his study, ignoring them.
Jacklin’s eyes narrowed. "Fine," she huffed, crossing her arms. "Then we’re all going to Ramsy’s banquet."
Emile’s ears perked up. "Ramsy? As in... Micah’s family?"
"Yeah," Jacklin replied, looking over her shoulder at him. " You didn’t know? It’s his birthday this Friday. They sent us an invitation."
Clyde’s step came to a sudden halt just a few feet from them. "Birthday?" he muttered under his breath. His fingers twitched at his sides as a strange tension filled his chest.
Banquets at Ramsys? Was his panic attack related to this?
His eyes narrowed slightly as other thoughts rushed through his head. Why didn’t Micah tell him? He thought, his jaw tightening. Wasn’t Micah with him just yesterday? Couldn’t he just invite him? Was he less than a stranger to receive an invitation?
"What?" Emile exclaimed. "It’s his birthday?"
"He didn’t mention it?" Jacklin asked with surprise. "I guess that means Asena will definitely be there!"
"Asena? Who’s Asena?" Emile asked, blinking.
