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."

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

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.
