He quickly shook his head.
'Now isn't the time to be happy!'
"Noah, look at us."
His father finally spoke.
Noah straightened slightly and raised his head to look at them.
"How are you?" Julian asked.
'Father... You're really something else...'
"I'm better than ever, Father."
"Of course. After kissing your lover, anyone would be in a good mood."
Nathan chimed in with a mischievous smile.
'Fuck! He's just adding fuel to the fire!'
Noah shot his brother a brief glare, but Nathan merely shrugged.
"Anyway..." Catelyn sighed once more. "I suppose there's no changing what has already happened. But, Noah, are you absolutely certain about this?"
Her expression grew serious.
She wanted to know whether he had genuinely made up his mind or whether this was merely a passing infatuation.
Noah understood what she was asking.
And his answer was already decided.
