A Surprising Twist of Fates (Sierra and Theo)

Chapter 166 Help Me

Sierra heard Theo's cold voice from behind her.

Startled, she quickly turned around, surprised to see him returning. With a mix of awkwardness and confusion, she asked, "Uncle Theo, didn't you already leave?"

"I just went downstairs to grab the meal I ordered," he explained quietly. As he approached, his eyes briefly scanned her outfit.

With a gentle smile, he added, "Let me help you."

Sierra immediately shook her head. "No, I can handle it myself."

"Okay," Theo said, not pushing the issue.

With that, he turned and left the room.

A few minutes later, Sierra still hadn't managed to free herself from the dress, her arms sore from the effort. Frustration crossed her face as she slowly stepped out of the room.

She noticed Theo leaning casually against the wall, arms crossed. The moment he caught sight of her, a flicker of amusement sparkled in his dark eyes.

"Uncle Theo," she whispered, her face burning with embarrassment.
