Chapter 82 He's Avoiding Me??

• The room was quiet except for the thud of bags landing on the study desk and the soft shuffle of footsteps. Troy walked ahead, his face calm and unreadable, while Eric followed silently. Eric was worried—Troy hadn’t spoken to him since the confrontation with his ex. But he didn’t think Troy was angry. After all, Troy had kissed him afterward. So, what was wrong?
• The silence felt heavy, making Eric uneasy. He didn’t like this quiet version of Troy, unsure if it meant he was pretending to be annoyed or truly upset.
• Troy kicked off his shoes and made his way toward his bed, ready to escape under the sheets. But as he moved to lay down, Eric grabbed his wrist, pulling him closer with surprising strength. Before Troy could protest, Eric’s other arm snaked firmly around his waist, holding him in place.
