At the dining table, the atmosphere was noticeably tense.
Just yesterday, the same people had been chatting and laughing freely. Today, however, something felt different.
A certain man sat with a grumpy expression, staring down at his meal in silence.
Monica couldn't help but feel uneasy seeing Terek remain completely silent, especially toward Gustav and Luke. Still, she held back from asking questions for now. Later, she would speak with Zuri. If anyone knew the reason behind Terek's behavior, it would be her.
"Ah, the meat is so tender."
As though completely unaffected by the gloomy mood hanging over the table, Luke broke the silence after finishing a bite.
"Who cooked this? It really hit the spot."
A broad smile spread across his face.
"I did..." Ginna replied softly.
The tense atmosphere seemed to have affected her as well, causing her voice to come out as little more than a whisper.
Luke hummed. "Why are you speaking so quietly?"
Shaking his head, he turned to Lex.
