Bab 74: Calm Before The Storm

Adam stepped into his room after the lively celebration with his family, his mind burdened despite the joyful evening.

Across the room, Sona sat on her bed, nibbling on a piece of leftover cake. A faint chuckle escaped Adam as he noticed her; she looked adorable, lost in her little indulgence.

Sona, sensing his gaze, froze mid-bite. Her bright eyes darted toward him as she extended the cake in her hand, her words muffled through a mouthful, "Do you want some too?"

Adam raised an eyebrow, his expression softening. He turned away, shaking his head lightly. "No, you can have it," he replied, his voice calm yet distant.

Sona shrugged, resuming her munching with a satisfied grin, while Adam settled at his desk. He pulled his chair back and sat down, his gaze shifting to the glowing monitor.
