A black car drove steadily on the road.

Theodore sat on the driver's seat, his hands firmly on the steering wheel as he kept his eyes on the road ahead.

Aurora sat in the front passenger seat, her seat belt buckled in. Her hands gripped uneasily over the belt as her heart raced.

She felt very nervous being in the same car as Theodore.

It was perhaps nerves from liking the man that made her so tense. She was worried over even the slightest movement that might make her look awkward and embarrass herself before him.

The silence in the air started feeling awkward. Aurora finally spoke up, breaking the silence.

"Your mother is really beautiful and your father is handsome, too. They look like a match made in heaven."

Theodore said indifferently, "They just look like it."

Aurora found Theodore's words strange.

Did his parents not have a good relationship, too? Why did she get strange vibes from his entire family?

She opened her mouth, wanting to ask further, but Theodore beat her to it. "I apologize for what happened before."
