Chapter 488: That Had to be the Truth
It was like he had started allowing her into his space. But today at breakfast, Arthur barely acknowledged her presence. He had not spoken to her at all. He did not even eat. He just... left.
That was not normal. Not for Arthur.
A silent alarm began to ring in Somto’s mind.
Did Arthur find out something?
That thought tightened something in his chest, but he quickly dismissed it.
No... If Arthur had found out the real truth, his reaction would have been nothing like this cold, avoidant silence.
Arthur was not the type to act out passively. He didn’t do silent grudges. He was intense, composed, yes, but direct. If he ever felt betrayed, he wouldn’t freeze someone out.
No, he would confront the matter head on, calmly but clearly, and he wouldn’t back down until he understood everything. His fury was quiet but sharp, like a blade, or a quiet storm, not a violent one.
No... whatever this was, it wasn’t because of some truth he uncovered.
With that, Somto slowly calmed down. The knot in his chest loosened, slightly.
But just as he started to breathe easier, a new thought crept in, one he had never really considered before... and it hit him harder than he expected.
The way Arthur’s been searching for that person all these years...
It never felt like just guilt.
It felt... deeper.
Somto stiffened.
What if Carl was right all along?
What if Arthur hadn’t been driven purely by friendship, but by something else, something more?
Love.
