Once Jalen was gone, Hannah stared at the painting in her hand, then turned to the two men on the other side of the coffee table.

“Don’t you think my cousin is acting a little strange?”

Dilan and Dotson nodded without hesitation.

“There was something wrong with the way he reacted just now, especially when you asked about the paintings.

Then, when you asked about an upcoming exhibit, he looked slightly panicked.

“He is likely hiding something from you,” Dotson pointed out.

“And judging by how anxious he is, it doesn’t seem to be no small matter.

”

Hannah ran her hand down the painting.

“I see… You should head back to the base after we eat.

I can take it from here.
